"How are you feeling?" Song Jia asked as she placed a bunch of flowers that she had brought for her father, in a vase on his headstand and taking a seat next to him.
"Much better. They take good care of me and moreover I can slack off here all day long without worrying about any work." Song Chen joked and it made her laugh softly. "How is the work going though?"
Song Jia's mouth twitched and with an eyebrow raised she said, "I thought you weren't worrying about the work."
Song Chen chuckled before responding. "I can't help it. I am just too used to working all day."
Song Jia nodded her head and then the conversation trailed off. Neither of them had anything else to say and they just smiled awkwardly.
Even though they tried to make small conversations every time they met, the air of awkwardness had not lifted off between them entirely. There would often be uneasy silences between them and it was hard for both to try to behave as if everything was normal.
Finally, after a few more minutes, Song Jia's phone rang sparing them both from this awkward situation. She pulled it out from her bag and saw that it was Wu Zhang. "I will be back."
Song Chen had seen the name flashing on the screen from the corner of his eyes and therefore he just nodded his head, while Song Jia stepped out of the room.
"Where are you?" Came the smooth voice of Wu Zhang from the other end.
"I came to the hospital, will be leaving in a few minutes. Where are you?"
"I have just left and you don't leave on your own. The hospital is on my way home, I will pick you up."
Her brows furrowed hearing his words. This hospital was on a completely different route than the one that led to the Wu Mansion from the headquarters. "When did you change the location of the Wu Headquarters?"
"Not the headquarters love, I have changed my route. I will be there in half an hour." His words brought a smile on her face and they hung up after exchanging goodbyes.
Song Jia called Wei Xin who had driven her here. "Wei Xin, you can leave, take the car home."
"And what about you?" Wei Xin who was sitting in the cafeteria asked, taking a sip of her tea.
"I will go back with Wu Zhang." With that, the two hung up and Song Jia went back inside. Song Chen had fallen asleep due to the heavy dosage of medicines. Song Jia very quietly padded her way to sit at the couch placed at the other end of the room and pulled out a file from her bag to go through it.
After some time, her phone rang again and it startled both Song Jia, and the sleeping Song Chen. She immediately fumbled with the keys and turned the ringer off. "Dad, go back to sleep. I will be leaving now. And please take care of yourself."
"Good night." Song Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"Good night, dad."
A shiny black Bentley was parked outside the hospital exit and Wu Zhang stood against it waiting for Song Jia. When she approached him, he pulled her in his arms and gently pecked her lips, giving her butterflies in her stomach.
As they drove off, Wu Zhang noticed that she was constantly pressing the back of her neck. "Is anything wrong?"
"Nothing big, I just strained my neck a bit I guess. It will be fine." She smiled.
When they reached home, Song Jia washed her hands and headed straight for the dining room. "You don't want to wash up?"
She smiled very sweetly, "I am very hungry, I want to eat first."
"I will join you then." And with that said, both of them headed for the dining room.
Butler Mingli who was nearby and had already heard their conversation immediately ordered the maids to serve the meal.
As Song Jia swallowed the rice in her mouth, she looked at the butler and asked, "Where is Zihao? I hardly see him these days."
Butler Mingli looked hesitatingly at Wu Zhang who just signaled him with his eyes to not say anything, but he kept his actions very subtle as if he was simply just eating.
"Miss Song, second young master has been going back and forth with some business-related work, he is tired so he asked for the meal to be sent to his room." His response though flawless was not enough to hide the hesitation in his eyes.
One look at Wu Zhang and Song Jia knew something was amiss but she chose to stay silent for that time being and silently finished her meal, before heading to her room.
After she was done with her night routine and finished bathing, she stepped out of the shower in a bathrobe, with a towel wrapped over her head. But what surprised her was Wu Zhang sitting on her bed, in his pajamas, comfortable enough for it to seem like his room rather than hers.
He was leaning against the headboard, with his eyes closed and his feet slowly dangling from side to side as if in deep thought. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I come?" The corner of his mouth quirked up in a wicked smile.
"You can, but don't you have to sleep?" Song Jia asked as she reached for her left shoulder and gently massaged it with her right hand.
"Well, sleeping can wait. What happened to your shoulder?" He asked as he sprang off of the bed and padded his way towards her.
"Nothing much, just had a rough day at work." Song Jia turned around to walk towards the dressing table, but before she could she felt a tug at the string of her bathrobe and she landed right in Wu Zhang's arm, banging against his broad chest.
"So it was a rough day?" He asked huskily and his fingers reached to pull away the towel from her head to reveal her wet hair.
"...yes?" The alarm in Song Jia's head went off. This guy was surely up to something.
Wu Zhang tucked a strand of her behind her ear before taking his mouth closer to it and in a voice that was deep and low, he said, "Well then let me give you a rough night to make up for it."
And before Song Jia could grasp the situation, she felt herself lifted off in the air and the next moment her body bounced against the soft mattress.
It sure was a rough night for her.
