After drying his hair for him, Shi Xue fought her sleepiness. Seeing her repeatedly shook her head to stay awake, he chuckled slightly making sure he doesn't wake her up. He corrected her position so that she wouldn't wake up with pain from sleeping in a bad posture. Then he gently brushed her hair with one hand as he held onto her hands with the other hand.
My heart never felt this type of fulfillment. The joy of being able to spend every moment with you hearing you laugh, seeing you smile, and teasing you until you blush. You alone is enough.. more than enough. Perhaps even I don't know how much I love you, it is immeasurable. As a CEO and the ruthless demon in others eyes, I handle more than I can and need to reach more than others expect. Only when I am in front of you can I smile so freely and speak casually. Only in front of you can I feel peace and stress free. When I watched you go after you recovered from the gunshot last time, my heart had an unspeakable pain. But now, it hurt me more to see you cry and wounded. So forgive me.. everyone is selfish so let me be selfish for this time.. let me keep you by my side even after you recover. I won't let go of this happiness for the second time...I will protect you from now on. No matter what...I'll be here.
He gave her a small peck on her forehead before heading out of her room.
...If I stay any longer I would end up being there the whole morning again...
*Phone rings*
Zhi Hei: Any updates?
Shen Qi: Boss! We found out that the Shi Huang Jie (Uncle of Shi Xue) is trying to win the contract for a new machine that is newly released from the Mos Corps overseas for the company he opened outside of Shi Corps. They seemed to have bribed through connections to lay their hands on this contract. They also invested in many resources from manufacturers preparing for the upcoming contract.
Zhi Hei smirked: Good. Give a Call to president Mos and let him we are also interested in this project. The conditions will be 2 times better than the ones offered by Shi Corps.
Shen Qi: Alright. I'll contact them and see what they say.
-Call ends-
Zhi Hei grinned. "About time.. I let you taste a bit of bitter.. but a more entertaining show is coming for all of you..."
In the middle of the night, Shi Xue was twisting and turning in her sleep. It was the same dream, all dark and no lights. This time, a man's shadow could be seen and the voice became clearer. "Shi Xue, be careful... be careful of stairs.." As the voice began to fade, Shi Xue slowly became conscious. It was still dark so when she woke up her room appeared all dark. She tried to turn on the lgiths, but instead knocked over the lamp. Her anxiety increased and breathing became unsteady. The more nervous she became, the less energy she had in her body to move. She trembled and started breaking down by her bed.
"Zhi.. Zhi Hei...cellphone... right he gave me one to call him ...."
-dials call-
Zhi Hei: "Shi Xue?"
Shi Xue: *cries* "Zhi.. Hei.. I'm s..scared..." *hiccups*
Zhi Hei: "What's Wrong??"
He quickly got off bed and rushed to her room keeping the call on.
When he ran into her room and turned on the lights, he saw her trembling and shaking while crying. He also saw the shattered lamp not too far from her bedside. He quickly examined her to ensure she didn't suffer from any pain or wounds from the broken lamp then hugged her asking her what's wrong.
"There was a man..."
"A man? where??"
"In my dreams.. it was so dark and I was alone.. I couldn't see who he was.. but I woke up and it was also dark. I accidentally pushed over the lamp"
"It's okay.. it's alright now.. I'm here. I'll stay with you alright?" he wiped her tears and carried her back to the bed as he ordered maids to clean up the broken pieces. Seeing her swollen eyes from crying, his heart shattered. Nightmares... Better contact Chen Mu to come here later.
After bringing her a glass of warm milk, he stayed her by side. He rubbed her soft hands until she fell back asleep. After seeing her fall asleep, he took a pillow and blanket and settled at the couch across from her bed in case she wakes up again. That night, he couldn't sleep as he looked at her from the couch. His hands slowly clenched as he once again swears that he will avenge on those who once hurt her. Shi corps belonged to her so he wouldn't destroy it. Only, that pile of disgrace so called family members.. will one by one suffer their own fate.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
