Chapter 71 More than serious

Luo Xiaolei’s hand had just touched the door knob when she halted. There seemed to be something that was stopping her. The determination in her eyes also slowly dissipated as if a vacuum cleaner had just sucked it away.

"Luo Xiaolei, what are you doing?" she asked under her breath then her hand on the door knob slowly fell. It finally dawned to her that she was being too curious about him. It was hard to believe that it hadn’t even been a week yet since the day she met him and here she was, already getting hooked and becoming more than eager to know more and more about him. She had warned herself over and over again that Yu Chen was dangerous but it looked like the warnings she told herself were becoming futile. It was not just his beauty alone that wasn’t good for her heart; there was also something about him that seemed to be grabbing her attention, her curiosity, and she knew she had never been curious about anyone else this way before.

This was beyond her expectations and to her, it was not a good sign...

Whatever may happen within the span of the next six months or perhaps even shorter than that, Luo Xiaolei had already decided to leave this place. She even thought that sooner or later, Yu Chen would surely kick her out. However, the way Yu Chen had been treating her since the beginning and even now with the twins, as well as the way she acted around him - dropping her guard down before him, subconsciously or not - was absolutely something unexpected. Honestly, Luo Xiaolei couldn’t even picture Yu Chen as someone dangerous anymore. Yes, he was still cold, distant, mysterious, but... she felt an unfathomable feeling of ease when he was there and that right there was the problem. Yu Chen had said it clearly from the beginning; that he was doing all this, including their engagement, with the thought of getting married at in the future, but that wasn’t part of her plans.

Since she woke up from that nightmare, marriage had become something that was simply impossible for her. She couldn’t even imagine herself marrying someone again and she intended to confess that to Yu Chen, sooner rather than later, and tell him that getting married to him or anyone else, wasn’t possible for her.

But right now, the ringing warnings had gotten louder, piercing through Luo Xiaolei’s ears because at this rate, if things kept progressing like they have been, she just felt that this man might soon become the kind of trouble that her heart would not be able to handle at all.

Lying back on the bed, Luo Xiaolei hugged the little bun beside her for a moment before releasing him. She sighed as she stared at the ceiling, her long lashes flickering like butterfly wings until they slowly closed. The vows she made to herself four years ago then echoed like a short movie in her head but in those vows, Yu Chen wasn’t included and she didn’t know why it suddenly stung her.

...

Meanwhile, as soon as Yu Chen greeted his personal doctor, Yang Jin, he immediately led him to the study.

"Make it quick." Yu Chen sat on a chair as the tall man in his early 30s just smiled.

"You don’t want to make her wait? Or you don’t want to worry her? The moment you brought her here, I thought you decided to reveal everything to her. It seems like I was wrong..." Doctor Yang raised his eye brow at him.

"She doesn’t need to know about this trivial matter."

"Trivial eh... you actually call this trivial."

"I don’t want her to worry unnecessarily over something like this."

"Well, you got a point but... I think it’s better if she knew. If you’re serious about her-"

"I’m more than serious about her."

"Then don’t hide this matter from her. Besides, if she’s really going to live with you from now on, I don’t think you can hide this for too long."

Yu Chen let a small sigh go upon hearing Yang Jin’s advice. "I know. I just don’t want this to be the first thing she knows about me."

"Haha, somehow, that’s an interesting excuse."

"It’s not an excuse. Stop blabbering and just get on with it."

"Yes, yes. I know you can’t wait anymore to go back to her embrace." The doctor was only being cheeky but somehow, there seemed to be some truth in his words.

When Yu Chen returned to their room, Luo Xiaolei was already asleep. Yu Chen stood beside her and stared at her sleeping face. He stood there for a long while, his eyes glimmering in the dim light, like a beast watching his prey and then he moved. His tall figure arched as he bent down, slowly moving his face closer to hers, but when their faces were just a foot away from each other, Yu Chen halted. He clenched his fists and his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed up and down before he straightened up. He looked away, breathed deeply again as he pinched the skin between his brows and then he walked away with his ears burning red.

The next morning...

Luo Xiaolei was surprised to see Yu Chen leisurely sitting in the living room, drinking a cup of tea that wasn’t even hot anymore. Yesterday, he went to work so early, so why was he still here this morning? Was Mr. almighty CEO having a break today? Even though it was Monday?

When she remembered the doctor last night, Luo Xiaolei’s eyes widened a bit. She then hastily went and sat across him, her gaze studying him.

"Good morning." Yu Chen casually greeted her the moment he noticed the way she looked at him. His voice was remarkably appealing that even just a simple good morning sounded so good. If you add in his fresh morning look... sigh... this creature...

"M-morning to you, too." She stammered. "Are you alright now?"
