Ziwei came out of the bathroom limping after about ten minutes.
After opening the door she tilted her head and noticed Yifeng waiting outside the bathroom. Just a distance of few feet between them, she already felt his hand on her body even before she could properly come out of the bathroom.
He raised his both hands, wrapped them around her neck to tie her hair into a rough ponytail. He then handed her a towel to dry her wet face.
He stared at her all the while when she dried her face as a gesture of care. He took the towel from her hand before she could hang it to the wall hanger on her right.
Her heart felt uneasy and also a little warmth spread around her with his sudden changed attitude.
She wanted to talk to him about something but she didn't get a chance to speak as he took her into his arms and placed slowly onto the bed before covering her with the sheets.
She hesitated for a million times before calling him.
"Yi...feng..." she called the person leaving the room for the first time with his name.
Yifeng's heart drifted in excitement on hearing his own name in her sweet voice. "Hmm..." he murmured and slowly walked back towards the bed.
She gazed into his eyes to analyse the person looking at her. His pitch black eyes are shining bright as glaze, a picture of her face etched in them.
"Sorry..." she said apologetically lowering her head in fear and shame.
He couldn't make out the reason for her to say him sorry all of a sudden."What for...?" he asked her looking at her body in unease.
Her words suddenly got chocked in her throat. She stayed silent for a minute before a shaking voice came out of her mouth. "About the last night....." She just wanted to apologize for asking about his love life and to give an explanation that she didn't mean to fool him when she said she truly loved none.
Its only then when her words from last night popped in his mind. Until that minute he immersed his heart and soul in taking care of her. All this while he only felt bad for not taking care of the person, who saved him from a big headache that haunted him for months together.
With her answer, his heart sank deep into pain which felt strange to him. He had zero feelings towards her and had never put even a tiny portion of his interest on her. But he didn't understand why his heart felt an ache on hearing her.
He thought back to the moment when she cursed herself for foregetting about last night. With her words now, he realised that she remembered everything.
She was just a woman acting as his wife, just an actor.
If not for the temper that he lost due to the troubles he's facing in his company, he wouldn't even lay his finger on her. His loss of temper initially hurted her and finally ended up with mutually agreed intimacy. It all occured accidentally, but he felt a heart piercing pain on thinking about her from last night.
He thought back to the moment when he brutally dragged her from living room into his study room and then a picture of himself exploring her naked body in her room flashed across his mind.
But he felt an extensive rage fuming through his nerves when he remembered her words numbering him eight. He didn't understand why his mind's burning with fury and exactly for what reason.
He shook his head to bring him back from his thoughts. He didn't want to bring up the things that slowly started to settle down.
"Let's talk about it later" he turned back to walk towards the exit with a messed up head and heavily paining heart.
She didn't understand why that man suddenly got mad for such a petty thing when he even neglected the scariest scandals about him. She wanted to solve the problem and to slowly clear the misunderstandings between them.
"What do you want to eat, I'll cook them for you" he heard a familiar voice with a tone that sounded completely different from the moans of last night.
Yifeng halted his walking midway on hearing her.
He cleared his throat "ahm.." to throw away the awkwardness in his heart.
"No need, I'll get something delivered" he said before walking out in hurry. He took his mobile out and made an order of some random food he'd usually eat.
Only after getting onto the stairs, he remembered something. He soon walked back and slowly opened the door to peek inside.
He sighed on seeing the lady on the other side getting off the bed on her own. He widened the entrance and suddenly entered inside the room which startled her. She almost fell onto the ground with his unexpected entry.
He walked forward to support her and asked in a worried tone "What do you want now?" As he already decided, he gave his all in caring for her.
Her, a workaholic could never stay stable and always keeps walking all around the place. Ziwei turned to look at the person holding her hand with a sorry expression on her face "I'm afraid that I'd end up with bed sore" she said before limping forward.
Her little cute face with that expression could melt down even huge bergs and his heart's not an exception.
"Haha...." he laughed on seeing her cute face and said "I'll take you down" while placing his hand around her.
No matter how much she tried she couldn't control herself as his warm touch made her heart to thump and her lashes to flicker.
A wild thought came across her mind which made her to blush. He swept her off the ground with a force and she automatically wrapped her arms around him which instantly made her heart to feel the heat of his body. With sensing her arms around his neck he turned to see her and that's when he noticed her small white face and pink cheeks.
"What kinda dirty stuff are you thinking to blush like this?" he teased her staring into her eyes.
Ashamed, she unwrapped her arms from him and hid her face behind them. She never imagined her mind could run dirty and on top of that with getting caught by him, she hated herself for acting so stupid infront of him.
He swirled her whole body around him to put her onto his back and changed his way of carrying her into a piggyback. With the sudden head rolling sensation, frightened she shut her eyes and grabbed his shoulders tight.
"Don't cry, this way I can't read your mind" he teased her again while walking out of the room with her on his back and murmured in his heart "Dear fake wifey,You are the first to ride on me so don't you dare to tease me back".
She opened her eyes on hearing him and gasped for air. She calmed herself from the immense rage rising in her. No matter how much she endured, she couldn't tolerate his changed attitude with added teasing. She never knew that this cold man could be flirty. But his wide back and shoulders made her heart to change her decision as she found his back much comfortable than a luxurious bed and hoped for frequent and longer rides on it.
He got her into the living room and made her to sit on the sofa and then he sat next to her to help in case. She noticed the documents on the coffee table as she got settled in a comfortable posture.
"Sorry..." she murmured. Deep in mind, she scolded the man beside her for not even mentioning an apology for what he did to her.
He stared at her in confusion and then turned his head in the direction of her gaze onto the documents.
"Its okay..." he said with a smile handing the television remote to her.
She just couldn't understand what really happened with him in a span of an hour. She secretly thanked Gengxin in her mind for explaining things on behalf of her. She also felt sorry for Gengxin as he got blamed by his brother because of her.
She stared at Yifeng's focused face that always kept staring at her. "Watch whatever you want..." he said turning his gaze onto the files. He picked them from the table and placed next to him. She kept staring at him in daze while he already opened a file to look through.
Yifeng who noticed her stare questioned her "What..?"
"Thank you..." he heard a short murmur and she herself couldn't understand why she suddenly uttered such a precious word to this rude man.
So short, that it reached his heart too fast and made his heart to skip a beat and his throat to get choked.
He masked the awkwardness in his heart with a cold face "What for? For letting you to stare at this handsome face?" he snatched the remote from her.
His words are what brought chills to her body and not his cold look.
He turned on the TV and dropped the remote in the gap between them. An interview with the cast of a recently released drama was displayed on the screen. Ziwei watched that interview without changing the channel just for the male lead in the drama because he's her favourite.
Yifeng who got immersed in files suddenly looked at the television when he heard the name of the female lead.
He moved his hand away from the file to pick the remote and then he felt soft, thin fingers under his hand. Yifeng and Ziwei both trembled and turned to their sides to gaze at each other while lifting their hands off the remote simultaneously. Both hiding their breaking emotions covered up the situation.
"She's just annoying" "She's just annoying" both said the words in unison.
