In a modest apartment in Hangzhou, around eight in the morning, the chilly wind was blowing under the marvelous sun ablaze.Inside the cozy comfort of someone"s home, Zhu Li Qiang, lying by his side, supported his head with an elbow propped onto the bed. He was unmoving, lost in his own dreamy daze as he stared at the sleeping angel beside him. Wrapped in an all-white, fluffy cotton bedsheet and blankets and pillows, the sleeping beauty rested without regard around her. She was lost in her own dreamland.
"It"s a dream come true." Zhu Li Qiang whispered even in his mind, afraid to startle the sleeping angel beside him, afraid that the whistling wind outside will blow his dream into fairy dust.
The sleeping angel glimmered as the bright rays of the sun struck her flawless jadeite skin, and as the rays danced with the window"s curtains, her healthy skin glowed even more as if thousands of glitters pranced with the roguish sunlight.
"I wish our life together will be as peaceful as this moment. So blissful as if there isn"t any worry that can dampen the mood or destroy our tale."
Who says fairy tales only live in books?
Who says a sad story will remain sad forever?
Who says a mere mortal is powerless in front of adversities?
Not Zhu Li Qiang.
After everything that had happened, Zhu Li Qiang never waned his faith in her. His love never wavered, in spite of.
His heart"s persistence and resilience despite all the hurt and anguish had truly prevailed and he emerged triumphantly. In the end, he came home with his reward, his living glory, his angel Teng Man Rui.
The sleeping bundle gradually flinched as her eyelashes swiped gracefully until her extremely defined pupils revealed itself.
However, she widened those beautiful enticing eyes as she gasped for air.
"Did I startle you?" With horizontal lines of deep worry on his forehead, Zhu Li Qiang murmured dotingly.
"You freaked me out." Teng Man Rui whispered in return, her voice cracked wonderfully with her bed voice. What could better define sultry?
"Mhmm…" She grunted softly as she stretched her limbs and smiled at his ever-loyal knight. "How long have you been watching me sleep? Did I do anything funny?"
"You snored. So loud that the neighbors must have a terrible night."
Teng Man Rui giggled, her eyes scrutinizing hos visage closely as she coyly wrapped the bottom half of her face with the white fluffy comforter. "I didn"t."
"I recorded it."
"Ahhh!!!" Teng Man Rui shrieked lightly, yet still coyly while she tried to grab Zhu Li Qiang"s phone in his one hand.
She ended up lying on top of him, and they suddenly stopped all the movements in discernment.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The chilly autumn morning had become so stuffy and steamy as if it was in the middle of summer in Sahara desert. Their gazes locked in a sticky, enamored, ardent way which ended up with their cheeks getting flushed like lightbulbs whose switches were turned on. And d.a.m.n they were.
Teng Man Rui"s thin supple lips broke into a shy grin as she shrieked lightly again and bashfully averted her gaze from his.
Zhu Li Qiang grinned even wider and laughed at the moment as he shook his head. He planted a kiss on his angel"s crown and snuggled close to her in a warm, warm hold. "I can hold you like this forever if you"ll allow me." He thought contentedly.
"Is she ready for it?"
Even if the lady averted her gaze, he kept his full attention on her, drinking the essence of this moment which he knew would be fleeting.
"I want to make it last forever."
"Alright, tonight."
"How are you feeling? Has the fever subsided yet?" Still wrapped around each other under the blankets, Zhu Li Qiang landed one of his enormous hands on the lady"s forehead. The banter had finished with cuddling. "I was just kidding. Of course, you didn"t snore."
"I"m feeling better." She snorted and rolled her eyes, yet she flashed her smile again, and Zhu Li Qiang"s world played on slow motion. There was no wind, but he would swear with his life that her hair lightly swayed with the wind.
Although their relations.h.i.+p was on steady, Zhu Li Qiang had made it clear with himself that he would know his boundaries when it comes to getting close and intimate with his angel. As delicate as cotton candy, Teng Man Rui should be handled with utmost care and protection.
That being said, while at some point he would have wanted to possibly spend every pa.s.sing minute with his angel, he forced himself not to, and every single night, he would return to his hotel room for rest.
Except for last night when he stayed over since Teng Man Rui was defeated by fever. Her fever reached around thirty-eight degrees Celsius. She even suffered a nose bleed and was quite flushed intermittently, almost always. Even with the intent not to break his streak of not staying over, he ended up pa.s.sing the night at the lady"s apartment, in her bedroom, beside her, tending to her and checking her temperature and overall well-being once in a while. It was such a laborious night, indeed. He didn"t even get to sleep so soundly. At least, his angel did.
"I was just exhausted from all the catching up with my clients. After all, I had been absent for a long while."
"Still, it"s better to be sure." Zhu Li Qiang retorted firmly.
"Alright. Tonight."
"Let"s drop by the hospital today before my meeting in the afternoon. We still have some time." He checked the time at the wall. It was forty-five minutes after eight.
"Okay." Teng Man Rui responded almost immediately and obediently. Zhu Li Qiang stroked her hair beguilingly, but not in any way perverted. It was akin to a father"s or a brother"s or any relative"s genuine gesture of love and concern and everything else in between. It did not last long, though, as the lady could only tolerate so much, and he knew it.
In his mind, Zhu Li Qiang had already come to a final decision that was already set and had even started some special preparations for that upcoming exceptional night, unbeknownst to the lady.
