Before she could secure her fall. Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. Twisting her left hand behind her waist. To balanced herself, she grabbed the s.h.i.+rt on his other arm. The applied force could have restraint a little due to which her ankle twisted and got sprained.
Li Na grasped, and said, "Woh...that was close!" If not for the sudden pull she would have landed on her b.u.t.t. "Thanks for the help..." she looked up and met with a pair of dark eyes, gazing sharply like a knife. She couldn"t form any words as their noses were an inch apart. His wet strands falling on his forehead, water dripping on her skin.
He was too close!
He"s f.u.c.king s.e.xy! and putting her in a major crisis. She felt like floating. No, she was literally floating in his arms. Her toes touching the gra.s.s.
f.u.c.k! He"s that gorgeous man. I"m not gonna flirt. Remember Mei Xing, No flirting.
Along with her breathing, the rain also stopped.
Just as he loosened his grip to pushed her away she sloped down as if the gravity is pulling her strongly. He immediately hardens the grip, to secure her tightly.
"What were you doing? Is this a new way of suicide?" He said taxing her, without leaving a scope to defend herself.
Of course, with her current physical condition bathing in rain would only be considered as coveting an inevitable death.
"No, I was enjoying...a shower in cold water."
Showering? that too in cold water? Mind explaining, Why?
He doesn"t need to ask her, she was smart enough to evaluate the forthcoming allegations.
"You know, showering in cold water has health benefits..." she looked at him timidly. Direct eye contact is too risky. "B-Benefits as-as it helps to strengthen our immune system."
Really?Not working!
"You think it helps a weak body." his brows furrowed slightly.
He is absolutely right! A weak body needs rest and nourishment, not cold showers. And exclusively not in an open s.p.a.ce, cold shower.
She cleared her throat, buying some time to make an excuse, "I-It"s... not everybody"s cup of tea!"
I can handle him! Can I?
Lu Jianjun raised his eyebrow surprised with her confident tone, "And It"s..." his eyes glaring meaningfully, with humor rippling in them, "It"s...your cup of tea?"
He made more sense. Her cup...oh, sorry her body is not able to bear any tea.
Hot or cold.
"Ya, I-" noticing his eyes getting dark as she was trying to make another excuse, she dropped the idea.
There was an endless silence between them that"s how she felt until the sun appeared to save her for the day.
The clouds were blown away, there were a few of them trying to hide the bright star. But the golden light shone slas.h.i.+ng through them. Falling on the drenched couple in the garden.
"Amazing!" Li Na whispered eyeing the dazzling sunrise, her dark brown eyes widened in reverence seeing the beautiful rainbow formed around the sun. "My G.o.d, this is the most beautiful morning of my life. Truly amazing!"
As for the handsome man, he was eyeing the sunrise in her big brown eyes. Like the whole sky was summoned in those pair.
To be honest, he had never witnessed a sunrise that beautiful. Her skin glowing under the golden rays, a few wet strands stuck on her cheeks as if caressing them. His fingertips itching to move them.
Impossible!
It"s wasn"t a strange feeling! he was very well familiar with.
Where Li Na"s eyes held the artistic sky as his eyes captured her splendid expression.
It"s the new sunrise of their new life. A new beginning. For both of them. After enduring a long and dark night it felt worth it. The night was really the toughest night Lu Jianjun had suffered although he was working hard.
But still...few things can"t be controlled.
Turning his head towards the sun, Lu Jianjun asked her calmly, "Can you walk?"
"I can... just lend your hand for support," she said turning back to him.
With a short sigh, he scooped up her in his arms. Her left hand twisted on behind her lower back and right one clutching his s.h.i.+rt. and marched towards the manor.
He didn"t have that much time to waste on supporting to walk with tortoise steps. Nor he can leave her there to catch a cold. She"s a patient. Very weak one!
As for Li Na, it would be comfortable to wrap her arms around his neck but he doesn"t look like supporting that. Anyways, any kind of help is a help!
While Li Na was smiling foolishly. Lu Jianjun swiftly climbed the stairs as if carrying nothing, her weight was negligible in his arms. Striding towards the bedroom, he turned to the right side.
"Hey, Handsome. The left one." he halted and shocked the way she addressed him "Handsome" someone had really grown some nerves to flirt with him. He looked at her as she gestures with her thumb towards the door with her most stunning smile.
Her smile faded when she realized she was clearly hitting on him.
s.h.i.+t! Mei-Xing, are you f.u.c.king crazy? Zhang Han will kill me if he knows I again started to flirt. It has been different in the past. Han made her vow not to flirt with other guys. Not even for fun. Moreover, Lu Jianjun doesn"t look pleased with it.
Just bury me, Alive? Doesn"t matter, kill me again. It"s the first time, she couldn"t charm a guy.
G.o.d, this guy is fire.
The Versailles Manor"s floor is designed like a penthouse suite. On the east side, there were two bedrooms facing each other together with a large living room connected to a gallery. The right side was his.
Lu Jun-hui? Right!
How could he forget, Lu Jun-hui had his own way to follow orders. He objected to bringing Li Na to the manor than how could he allows her to share a room with his brother.
And right at the moment, Lu Jianjun didn"t want to imagine his little brother reaction on his decision to marry Li Na.
Marry Li Na? Surely, Lu Jun-hui will die with a heart attack.
It doesn"t matter to Lu Jianjun anymore, Who"s the bride?
Because he wasn"t doing it for anyone but purely for himself. Like a dare!
If you can"t have the person you want then why don"t marry the one who loves you. Then you"ll be responsible for them. Willingly or not willingly.
Proving himself that he really moved on. There"s no way he would go back in the past. Not after coming this far.
If someone can love you knowing that it won"t be returned back then why not?
Importantly, He didn"t know Li Na is such a smooth talker. And he actually had a normal conversation with her. Not too formal or aggressive that he thought he might treat her coldly like others but it turned out differently.
Maybe because she appeared so suddenly.
Still, She has to be disciplined and trained into an elite lady before he proposed the marriage. No, not romantic propose just a straightforward talk.
Thus, he knows the best punishment.
