"Your grandfather's country?!" Chang turned to Jian, shocked, she'd heard only a handful of things about him. He was a ruler of his own autonomous country, which he built after seizing all his brother's inherited lands, an oil tycoon, as well as being a major exporter of several precious stones mined in his country. He had married his only daughter off to Jian's father in a gesture of good faith to seal a deal years ago. Truth be told Chang was slightly nervous to meet such an important person, he seemed imposing, his father alone had been..
"Yes, my grandfather's country, 'Ard rueat la nazir lahat." Jian continued, continuing the last part smoothly. As he spoke he rubbed his thumb across her the back of her hand. They were almost at cruising altitude and the worst of the plummeting feeling in her stomach was over.
Chang had no idea what he had just said but it sounded pretty, his hand was distracting her. "Ard rue-ey ought what?" She coughed, embarrassed,she knew she had butchered it but wanted to know how to pronounce it correctly..
"'Ard rueat la nazir lahat. Lahat for short." Jian pronounced the name out slower for her this time so she could grasp it. He then put his other hand on her chin and gave her a kiss on her cheek before settling back in his seat looking pleased with himself.
"What was that for?" Chang cupped her hand to the warm spot on her cheek, trying to control her blush.
"Do I need a reason?" He gave a cheeky grin and she lost the battle against herself. He chuckled seeing her look down trying to avoid his gaze.
As soon as they reached cruising altitude, Jian released her hand and unbuckled both their belts to pull Chang over onto his lap.
"Hey!" she protested lightly, "my mom is right there!"
"So?" He mumbled against her forehead while stroking a hand along the side of her shoulder
"What do you mean so? let me go!" She kept her voice lower, both her mom and Jin Ying were sitting just on the other side of the aisle.
"Shhhhh just stay still, let me hold you and sleep for awhile."
"Didn't you sleep last night?"
"No, I was too busy watching you."
*cough*' god what does one say to that?!'
"We've got a long way to go. There is a private bedroom in the back, we could go there if here isn't fine." He inflected the end of the sentence as if it was a question he was leaving up to her.
"Here is fine." Chang replied quickly and lay her head against his shoulder obediently. 'Truth be told this feels really nice, embarrassing.' The warm feeling bubbled up in her chest again and rubbed her head a little against his shoulder. 'Here is more than fine.'
Liang Jian Amal gazed at the woman nuzzling his shoulder and felt his heart swell. He leaned the seat back so that it would be more comfortable. He swept the arm that been stroking her hair up her back with his hand cupping the back of her head, sealing her in his embrace.
Li Hua watches the interactions between the two with a smile on her face. A couple of times she had to look away as Jian she was coming to find was very passionate about her daughter. As they were ascending, she felt splitting pain resonate through her skull as if someone had stabbed her. It instantly brought sweat to her face and she fell back against her seat, spine rigid, as the migraine came on. Li Hua put her right hand over her mouth to cover any noise she made from the pain.
Jin Ying instantly reached under her seat and pulled out her bag she'd stored under it. She reached into and pulled out a small medical case she had brought with her. She turned her back to across the aisle helping to block the view and grabbed Li Hua's left arm. Quickly and efficiently Jin Ying tied a band above the older woman's elbow and lightly tapped the vein in the inside crook. She grabbed a fresh sterile needle from a package before filling it with a clear liquid in a vile in the kit. Without wasting a movement Jin Ying slowly inserted the needle and slowly presses down on the hammer, gradually releasing the medicine into Li Hua's system. It took less than a minute for her to do all that, but already Li Hua had become ashen from the pain intensity, it took mere seconds for it to take effect, Li Hua sighed in relief when it did. Jin Ying quickly drew out the needle, placeing it in a sealed bag, and applied a small gauze pad. Holding the pad with her left hand she dexterously untied the band with her right, storing it back into the medical case, which she dropped back into her bag. Jin Ying then placed her right hand over the gauze, acting as if the two women were merely deeply immersed in a conversation. Jin Ying was worried, the attacks were coming much more frequently and were becoming more severe.
She leaned closer and whispered to Li Hua, are you sure you want this to be kept hidden from Chang?"
Li Hua wearily opened her eyes and adjusted herself to see her daughter cuddling in her husband's arms, she couldn't see Chang's face, but she could see the look of blissful tranquility on Jian's as he held her.
"Yes, she will find out soon enough, for now I just want to see her smile and be happy." She smiled bitterly as tear rolled down her cheek.
'That's all I want now, for however much time I have left.
