The next morning, Bai Ning woke up with a bittersweet mood. One side she was happy about reuniting with An Zihao and on the other side her menstrual cramps were ripping her off. She hated to go out with this but alas, it was an important work which couldn't be stalled. She unwillingly dragged herself out of the bed, washed up and changed her outfit.
Wearing a comfortable clothing she descended down the stairs to fill her stomach with something. She looked out for An Zihao but he was no where to be seen. Maybe he is busy- Bai Ning told herself and munched down on her breakfast.
After paying off she walked out of the cafe; summers in Miami were hotter than normal days. The blazing sun hit worsening her mood, it was early in the morning but the street was already bustling with hurrying people. It seemed that it was going to be a bit hard for her to catch a cab; pursing her lips she walked out to the edge of the road. She was about to call for a
Sitting next to him Bai Ning tried her best to stay calm and composed, he had been extremely doting towards her from the very start. No matter how much they bickered he was always the one to come running whenever she was touched by the slightest discomfort. Every now and then she would sneak glances of him, his perfect face shone in the sun.Everyone used to say that Lu Sheng and An Zihao looks similar but Bai Ning never agreed to these claims. Maybe she was the one who looked at An Zihao with close proximity or maybe she had seen his face for so long that Bai Ning found both of the cousins entirely different from each other.Lu Sheng had shorter hairs than him, the hair colour was same yet both had different styles. Lu Sheng had ocean like blue eyes while An Zihao's eyes were pitch black, like some deep well and unlike Lu Sheng's chasteness An Zihao's eyes were rather mysterious and had a demonic charm in themselves. Thier nose were the sam
The girl introduced herself, "Dr. Bai, my name is Zhu Lili. I am the intern who is appointed as your new assistant."Bai Ning jogged her memories; her chief did tell her about it.This poker faced doctor never liked to keep any assistant and preferred to get things done by herself. So, She kept on turning down the arrangements made by the hospital to appoint an assistant for her. It was later she rejected more than a dozen applications that her chief explained things to her. Working alone and getting things arranged by herself can be okay for a short run but for a long period, she would end up tiring herself out.Bai Ning thought about it- the chief indeed had a point which was considerable. She was a doctor and someone who should not mix up her personal habits and profession based deeds. She can never afford to risk her patient's life on the bet of her stubbornness. An thus, she accepted to keep an assistant for herself.
As soon as the clock struck the lunch time Bai Ning's phone rang as expected with the caller ID flashing as Space Monkey. Bai Ning looked picked up the phone and placed it on her ears."Are you done with work?""Yes, it's officially lunch break now...""Cool, am waiting outside. Come down!"Bai Ning replied with a slight grunt before hanging up the phone. She removed her coat and picking up her bag walked out. As promised An Zihao was easily spotted by her waiting at the parking lot. She boarded the passenger seat; An Zihao stepped on the gas pedal and drove off."How was the morning shift?""Good! What about you?"An Zihao laughed and chose not to reply; he was supposed to go surfing that day but he stayed back and spent his time looking for a good restaurant for her. She loved sea food and the place he was taking her today was a beached restaurant with the beat se

Given to Lu Sheng’s tone Qin Yue could say that it was An Zihao at the other end of the phone; she could even pick up few snippets from their conersation yet was unable to weave a rational story as her mind was elsewhere. Those drunk lyrics hazing in her voice repetedly echoed in her ears.“Winter melted into spring,Time knocked again at the door,Sea beach changed and so does heart,
Qin Yue didn't reply, she walked directly towards him and fell in his arms silently demanding to be embraced in a thight hug. Lu Sheng was startled by her sudden actions, he wanted to ask why but chose to stay silent; his wife was so soft that he didn't have the heart to interrupt her.The girl stayed in his arms, she could feel Lu Sheng wide palm silently patting her back. The warmth in his palms seeped inside her body, racing through her veins and enrooting in her bones. She kept herself nestled in his arms for whole two minutes, parting herself from him she raised her head and looked at him with puppy eyes.Even though she was mum her eyes narrated something, Lu Sheng was unable to know what was going on within her mind as he was no magician but the thing he knew for sure was that something deep was trenching within her calm face but misty eyes."What happened, Qin Qin?" He asked, correcting her bangs and tucking them behin
Lu Sheng kept her locked in his arms and sat here without moving, he didn't even kiss her back or try to dominate her. Since she wanted to kiss him he would let her do it to her heart content. He patiently enjoyed her and waited for her to part away as she always did. Lu Sheng could taste her sweetness, it seemed that his answer had made her happy.She was delighted, so elated that she had no way to express it out and kiss him to stabilize herself. This could only mean on thing- she was anticipating for him to say this. But why would she anticipate passion from him, didn't she break up with him and was wiped off with feelings for him for the past six years. Or was he fooling himself the whole time...Was she too in love with him... the whole time?He was smart enough bro answer this question; an immense joy crept over his heart. Gosh, it seemed that he could have simply wooed her and she would have accepted him. His stupid little he
"Sleep for a while if you want, I am here to protect you!" Lu Sheng whispered it her with a tender mellow; Qin Yue's face crept with a red hue.'I am here to protect you...'What a wonderful phrase it was; no matter how powerful or mighty the woman is she would always long for a man to orrate her this beautiful promise. It was a really beautiful emotion to feel belonged, to be nourished and protected. People may talk about living a life of solitude, all by onself without anyone to supoort or take care of them. Qin Yue never understood this philosophy; at least she was not someone who could lead a life of oneness. Even if she didn't make up with Lu Sheng she would have lived her life with his and his memories only.Qin Yue replied with a soft 'mmm' before shutting her eyes to sleep. Life in hospital and that too when you had to take care of someone was tough; Qin Yue did manage to grab fragments of rest but her heart woul
Qin Yue pulled down her lips to stop herself from blushing wide; stabilizing herself she gave up her thoughts about influencing his decisions. Lu Sheng never listened to anyone, not even herself, when it came to taking care of and doting her. He arrogantly believed that he was the best on it and surprisingly, he indeed was the best."I will be leaving to work, hubby!"In the meeting room Lu Sheng casted a radiant smile befor taking away the phone off his ears. He looked at Chen Han and ordered, "She is dropping by NC and is ready to continue with her work; make sure everything is ready and neatly arranged before she arrives so that she won't meet with any inconveniences.""Understood, Mr. Lu!" Saying this Chen Han took out his phone and walked out leaving Lu Sheng and the curious board members alone in that room. Even though almost everyone had a rough idea who it was on the other side of the phone a middle aged man sitting some two heads apart from Lu Sheng
Standing right beside the garage was a Mercedes Benz C- class and a man dressed in neatly pressed black suit. Qin Yue still couldn't understand what was going on, Xiao Xi looked at her Young Madam's confused reaction. As ordered she sneakily clicked a candid picture of her and sent it to Lu Sheng.The ice berg CEO was currently attending a meeting with a straight face when his phone chimed ending his long awaited wait. His sword like eyebrows relaxed and the corner of his frozen lips curled up slightly. Chen Han noticed this slight change in the President's face and immediately signalled for the representative to stop. As expected, Lu Sheng didn't make any reaction about the sudden halt in the explanation and kept on staring at his brightly lit phone screen.Xiao Xi's WeChat came through just now, he downloaded the file to see the side profile of his beautiful wife wearing a really cute and confused expression on her face. He adored the pic
Lu Sheng pinned down both of her hands and started to kiss her; his kiss was not dominant but rather a mellow one. It was as if he was nurturing them and tasting her sweet lips to his heart content. He slowly traced down his fingers down her cheeks to her neck.Underneath him Qin Yue wriggled and smiled; his touch in her skin was like bare Heavens pouring down on her. She looked like a lost little kid who was suddenly brought up by someone and given the utmost care and love to.Lu Sheng's fingers moved to unzip her but he stopped; the girls breathings were slow and steady. It seemed that she was sleepy; Lu Sheng's eyes turned tender at the sight of her calm face. He pulled hismelf back to take a closer look at her.This woman... She got so nervous about tonight that she got herself drunk to hide it but ended up getting dizzy and slept.Lu Sheng nodded his head, sliding her bands aside he kissed on her forehead whispering, "I want to melt down in you, make you
The couple washed their hands and sat down to have dinner; the appetizing meal paired with its inviting aroma sent a gush of hunger down Lu Sheng's belly. Lu Sheng was a picky eater but when it came to Qin Yue he never complained; since she was living alone for a long time Qin Yue knew how to cook but she never gave any special care to enhance its quality. She was the only one cooking and feeding herself; there were even times when, out of tiredness, she used to skip meal and go to sleep directly.She was a good cook but her standards could never match to his tongues'; he was brought up eating the meals prepared by professional chefs. At first Lu Sheng had difficulties to get accustomed to her food style, even Qin Yue knew about it but there was nothing she could do. Lu Sheng never gave her a hard time though; he always ate the food without leaving a speck of rice and even used to compliment her.It's been six years since he was having food
Qin Yue stood in the doorsteps as she watched her hubby leave for work; they were newly married yet they couldn't spend time with eachother. She sighed; Lu Sheng must hate to leave her alone at home but he was chained by responsibilities. As his wife she should stop making things difficult for him and rather support him unconditionally. Determined she walked in, changing her slippers she dropped on the sofa.Xiao Xi ran out of the kitchen to greet her to which Qin Yue replied with a polite smile. Lu Sheng's words echoed in her ears; it was their wedding night and she was to please him. Qin Yue's attention was drawed to Xiao Xi; she called her out."Yes, Young Madam?"Qin Yue replied, "You can take leave today; don't worry I won't reduce the salary." A smile bloomed on Xiao Xi's face as she bowed and thanked her good willed Mistress, "Thank You, Young Madam!" Saying these the little maid ran into her room and changing int
Lu Sheng parted his lips from hers and asked her seriously, "Now let me ask you, being wife of a businessman is not easy, it's like living on a bet! Sun never shines everyday and never does business; there might be a possibility that I may go bankrupt and may not be able to give you a luxurious life that you deserve... You may have to face hardship with me! And once we go in and get married legally I won't ever let go of you... Life or death you will have to stay with me till we go down the grave together! Are you ready to face all this with me? Are you willing to be mine forever?"Qin Yue chocked on her tears which she was having a hard time to keep it, all she could manage was a little mumble, "I... I do!"Lu Sheng kissed the back of her palm which were still locked in his arms; he said, "Let's get married, Qin Qin!"Saying so he pushed open the door and came out, holding hands with her he lead her in. Chen Han had alr
"Civil Bureaucracy Office?" Qin Yue spelled the name of the building which stood high and mighty in front of them. Lu Sheng leaned forward to help her unbuckel her her seatbelt and asked, "Where else did you expect me to take me to? Park?"A strange swirl of emotion stormed inside Qin Yue. Yes, she was the one who proposed marriage and asked him to marry her as soon as they return to the country... But!She was still unsure if she was doing right!Lu Sheng was the love of her life and she was willing to claim her life for him. But... what about him? All this while she was the one spouting her needs and demands without even asking if he was ready for it.It is said that marriage is a big turning point for a couple's life. When two people tie themselves within the sacredness of marriage all their self oriented-ness would turm into selflessness. Was Lu Sheng ready to take responsibilities of her? Was he willing to name
"I guess buying him was a bad idea!" Lu Sheng stood there holding a plate looking at the girl playing with the puppy. He was jealous- why was that puppy invading her, his property. Lu Sheng couldn't help but give out a piercing a glance at the little puppy. Lu Sheng hated pets in the first place given to his obsession with cleanliness. He bought it to keep her company, not to steal his woman from him. Maybe Little Zhu Zhu understood what he said that he stopped and returned Lu Sheng's stare.Qin Yue was rendered speechless by the way the master and the puppy interracted. The ice seemed not to break so Qin Yue spoke up, "What did you prepare, I am starving!""Keep that thing aside and wash your hands.""Thing? Lu Sheng, he has a name!""I don't care."Qin Yue stopped talking at once, this guy was such a jealous little volcano. She obediently went away lest she pisses him off and g
After reaching home Lu Sheng picked up the sleeping girl, Xiao Xi was already notified about the arrival of the Young Master and Mistress. She was standing at the front door and as soon as the couple came in sight she greeted him, “Young Master, welcome home!”Lu Sheng nodded, after changing into casual footware with his woman still in his arms he helped her change her shoes too. By this time Qin Yue was half awoken; she looked at his handsome profile a bit dizzy. “Sheng, are we home?”“Yes, we are!” He kissed her fo
