Chapter 137 Sleeping With Her

"You know, nearly a year back, I fainted in my office. It was nighttime, so obviously, no one came to check on me, not even my shadow guards." Zhou Liying chuckled and threw her head back against the car seat. "As you have said, they work on orders. They were ordered to not disturb me. So, they didn't come to even check up on me. It was not there fault, they all are scared of my wrath."

"I can understand you."

"How so?" Zhou Liying looked at him with wide eyes.

Mu Yuehan bit his tongue and mentally slapped his head. "That's because I have worked with some shadow guards in the past. I was their leader. I know how difficult it could be to handle them."

Mu Yuehan sighed in relief when Zhou Liying nodded her head, believing his words. It was a close call, though.

Mu Yuehan parked his car in the parking of Zhou hotels. It was located at a five minutes drive from the hospital. This hotel had a private room of Zhou Yonge and Zhou Liying was going to use it tonight.

Mu Yuehan helped Zhou Liying out of the car. He carried her in princess style. Zhou Liying did not fight him. She wrapped her arms around him.

Mu Yuehan walked toward the elevator and entered the code of presidential suit given to him by Zhou Liying.

"Do you think I am selfish?" Zhou Liying asked. Her eyes were looking deep into his eyes with hope.

"No, you are not." Mu Yuehan replied honestly. "You are the most selfless person I have seen so far."

"Then, do you think I am doing right by not letting go of grandpa? You see," she took her shivering lower lip in between her teeth and then released it.

"He'd have died a long back if not for the doctors I have appointed for him. Tonight too, he was saved because of the doctors and the blood I gave him. He wants to die but I want him to live. Do you think I am wrong?" Her voice was broken.

There were traces of tears in her eyes.

"No, you are not. You love him that's why you want to save him." He looked at her with gentleness. "You should try to understand the feelings of your grandfather. He has achieved everything in his life. Now he wants to go."

"You hardly spend one hour of your day with him but what about his other twenty-three hours? I am sure the Qin family don't spend their time with him, even if they do so, I can't imagine the bitter words they threw in his direction." There was mirth in his voice.

"You are torturing him by saving him, you know."

Zhou Liying blinked her eyes. To her, his advice was quite accurate, solving the conflicts in her heart.

"Let him go, let him meet your mother and grandma." There was pleading in his voice.

"Also, my father." She mocked. "Grandpa is eager to meet him and have a long talk with him. If possible, he'd kill him again in heaven."

Zhou Liying sighed and closed her eyes. She nudged her face in his chest and inhaled him.

She didn't know why, but his fragrance gave her much-needed relief and a sense of being at home.

Mu Yuehan stepped out of the elevator, into the presidential suite. He opened the door of the bedroom and took her to the bed.

As if she was a fragile doll, he very gently placed her on the bed. Much against her protestation, he removed her shoes. Luckily, she was wearing a comfortable dress in which she could fall asleep.

He covered her with a quilt and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner. She yawned and looked at him from under her eyelashes.

"Will you call Min Yue in the morning? Tell her that I can't attend the office." She murmured sleepily and within a minute, she was asleep.

Mu Yuehan smiled and looked at her. Then he heard her murmur, "I don't want to let him go because I am afraid, I will be once again alone."

Mu Yuehan took his seat beside her and removed her hair from her forehead. He gently ran the pad of his thumb on her forehead, eyes and then lips.

"Stupid girl, who told you that you are alone? You are not alone. You hear me." He murmured gently. He looked at her with dotting eyes.

"You have me. I am here beside you, to love you, to look after you. And I am not going anywhere, nor my love will fall any short for you. I have waited for you for four long years, so see." Mu Yuehan smiled to himself.

He was glad to share his heart with her now, that she was sleeping.

"I love you my Liying." He again tasted her new name on his tongue. "Lili. Should I call you Lili? Huh?"

He traced her lips again, recollecting the memories from yesterday night.

"You have me, your uncle, your cousin, also your employees, you have Min Yue. You have so many people. You are not alone. You can never be alone."

He leaned down and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Zhou Liying felt warmth at his touch. She moaned unconsciously, making him smile.

A tiresome sigh escaped his lips. He was feeling tired and sleepy, especially after watching her sleep so carefreely. He noticed the time and it was four in the morning.

Taking the risk of her wrath, he removed his shoes and socks. He removed the quilt to another side of the bed and laid down beside her. He covered himself with the quilt.

A long breath escaped his lips when he felt her warmth around him when her fragrance teased his nose. Daringly, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Heavens." He moaned and closed his eyes. Within a minute, he was fast asleep.
