The next morning Li Xiaolu woke up feeling sore all over. Rubbing her eyes, Li Xiaolu looks around when she noticed a handsome man sleeping next to her. Zhehan...Where am I? Why is he sleeping next to me?
Her eyes widened as all of the yesterday"s events flashed across her brain one by one. A blush appeared on her face looking at his cute sleeping face.
She tried getting up when she realized that his arms were wrapped around her waist tightly.Trying not to wake him up, she carefully tried removed his arms from her waist, failing to notice the smirk on Zhehan"s face.
She had almost removed his hand when suddenly Zhehan flipped his body and got on top of her. "Trying to run away after sleeping with me? " he asked.
A blush appeared on Li Xiaolu"s face, while she shook her head stammering, "N-no... "
"Then? "
Li Xiaolu knew what happened between then as well what they had spoken yesterday. She remembered it perfectly. So she didn"t have the courage to look into his eyes without blus.h.i.+ng,"Umm... N-nothing... I was just... Last night...See......Canyouconsideritaonenightstand?"
"What? " Zhehan asked raising his eyebrows. Seeing the cute blus.h.i.+ng face beneath him, all he could think of was kissing her. So he didn"t hear what she had said in a rush.
Taking a deep breath Li Xiaolu repeated her words slowly, " Umm... Can you consider it a one night stand? "
This girl... Zhehan"s eyes widened and he immediately denied, "No.. I gave my precious virginity to you and you are running away from your responsibility. This is not fair, Xiaolu. You have to take responsibility for me... "
Responsibility? I am a girl, my virginity is precious too. Am I asking you to take responsibility for me? Seeing him acting pitifully she wanted to argue with him, but she remembered it was her who had begged him to do it last night.
"Marry me... " Zhehan spoke in a serious tone interuppting Li Xiaolu"s thoughts. "Did you forget your promise to me?"
Marriage?
Li Xiaolu remembered that she had indeed said yes to something like this but she never thought Zhehan would be so serious about it.
Marriage.... That word made her remember her past. The things which happened with her on her marriage day, the way they broke her; used her; killed her....
Seeing that she was lost in her thoughts, Zhehan frowned. If she doesn"t want to get married to him now, he wouldn"t force her. He can wait for her his whole life.
But the pained look on her face, he doesn"t want to see that. " Xiaolu it"s - "
"Okay. I will marry you.... " Li Xiaolu interrupted him. Hearing her words, Zhehan froze. Did she just agree to marry me?
He didn"t hear it wrong... She did agree. His heart started racing fast and he couldn"t stop himself from grinning.
"Really? You will? " he asked. He knew he was smiling like a fool but he couldn"t help himself. She agreed...
"Yes, Zhehan I will marry you, but I have two conditions.. " Li Xiaolu felt a little guilty when said those words. Seeing the innocent smile on his face she didn"t want to say it.
"Conditions? What? " Zhehan asked. He can fulfill anything that she wanted.
"First, I want our marriage to be a secret and second I want you to help me find my real parents..." she asked nervously. After giving much thought to this, she gave him these two conditions.
Finding her parents is the most important matter to her. And with Zhehan"s power maybe she can find them easily.
"Okay... " Zhehan nodded without a thought and kissed her forehead. Suddenly, he got up covering Li Xiaolu"s body with the bedsheets and picked her up in his arms.
Dropping her inside the bathtub he ruffled her hairs, "Take a shower, I"ll arrange for your clothes..."
Li Xiaolu who was still in daze, nodded her head. She blushed when he kissed her forehead and exited the washroom. Maybe, just maybe marrying Zhehan wouldn"t be bad for her.
She couldn"t help but feel guilty, Zhehan loved her very much. But she couldn"t give him the same amount of love. When she had given him those conditions, he gladly accepted them without a word.
To her it was like, she was using him. She didn"t know what the end result of this decision would be. But she knew one thing,that even though she couldn"t give that same amount of love to Zhehan which he had for her but she would try and become the best wife for him.
After the shower, Li Xiaolu carefully peaked through the door and saw Zhehan standing infront of the door with his back facing her.
"Zhehan? " she called.
He turned around giving her the clothes, "Here, this is for you. " Taking the clothes, Li Xiaolu smiled at him and closed the door. Inside the washroom, Li Xiaolu smiled when she saw the beautiful yellow sundress which was exactly her size.
After changing her dress, she came out. "Umm.. You must be hungry. I ordered some breakfast for you... " Zhehan said gesturing towards the table.
"Thank you... "
Zhehan smiled getting inside the washroom. After his shower was done, he got changed in his suit and came out. Walking towards Li Xiaolu, he realised that she was sitting there in a daze.
"Xiaolu why are you not eating? " he asked taking a seat beside her.
"Waiting for you... " She smiled. Zhehan paused at her answer and smiled. His heart jumped inside his chest on hearing her words.While eating there breakfast, a sudden question popped in her mind.
"Zhehan what were you doing here last night?" she asked. She never thought that she would meet him here, under such conditions. Was it a coincidence?
"Umm... I am the biggest investor for your flim so I was invited by Director Ye.." he replied.
"Oh! " Li Xiaolu nodded as they both finished their breakfast. "Let"s go... " Zhehan said after finis.h.i.+ng their breakfast.
"Where? "
"Civil Administration Bureau... " Zhehan smiled.
