YM778.TV Chapter 44 - Waking Up In His Arms
For a proud and arrogant man like him to be so helpless, it could be said that he loved his mother very much to do something like that.
And from what she observed, his mother also loved him as such.
But there seemed to be an invisible barrier between both of them.
A man like him seemed to be the kind of person who would rule his destiny and keep others in control. For Jun Zixuan, it must be frustrating being controlled like that.
As for Shen Lihua, she must be feeling guilty for the previous owner\'s mother.
According to her memories, Yu Mei Zhen\'s biological mother Li Na was somehow related to Jun Zixuan\'s mother for which they ended up getting married. As such, the relationship between the ladies must have run deep.
So after the marriage, Shen Lihua expected her son to give Yu Mei the rights of a wife which never happened.
Despite giving in to her all the time, Jun Zixuan was stubborn in certain aspects. He never once tried to cultivate feelings with his wife and kept her at a distance. Hell, he didn\'t even live in the same mansion with her.
Alas, Yu Mei\'s suicide attempt and the accident that landed her in a coma must have affected Shen Lihua a lot for her to avoid her son for a long time.
"What are you thinking about?"
His voice brought her back from her thoughts. "Nothing.." She yawned. It was not her place to discuss all this with him.
Whatever was going on between the mother and son duo would be eventually sorted out by them. As a temporary guest in their lives, it was not her place to interfere.
She looked at him before extending her hand towards, "Fighting with you is very tiring. And I\'m kinda lazy these days. Let\'s just be friends, okay?" Let\'s be friends again, she added in her mind.
He glanced at her extended hand before looking back at her sparkling eyes. Maybe it was because of the moonlight, her dark eyes were shining brighter than ever.
"What? You don\'t want to accept it?"
Just as she was about to retract her hand, he grabbed it before shaking it lightly, "Okay. Friends!" He replied to which she smiled.
The corner of his lips tilted up as he looked at her yawning lazily. He didn\'t know when it started but he didn\'t find her that unbearable anymore.
Sitting with her on the rooftop at 2:00 am, gazing at the stars as they talked about life didn\'t seem to be that bad.
"If you are sleepy, let\'s go back to the suite then," He suggested when she curled up inside the blanket.
"You can go back," She mumbled, "I just want to stay here and look at this all night long," She pointed towards the starry sky and bright citylights.
"You can see this anytime."
"Something…so beautiful… I\'ve never seen something so beautiful before." She softly mumbled adjusting her head in a beautiful position before closing her eyes.
His brows bumped together. "What is extraordinary about it?"
She wryly laughed, "What do you know…? I\'ve never taken the time to sit and admire such views…. The place where I come from is…"
Her voice became lower and he leaned closer to hear what she was saying.
\'\'is very busy…\'\' were her last words before she dozed off.
The place where she came from?
Before he could contemplate further, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Tilting his head to the side, he watched as she slept peacefully with her head resting on his shoulder.
He stiffened for a moment before raising his hand in an attempt to push her away but she snuggled closer to him and rubbed her cheeks on his arm.
Up so close, he noticed that her skin was just like a small baby\'s…soft and supple.
Curious, he gently poked her bulging cheek and it bounced back.
Chuckling to himself, he looked at the deep skies before eventually falling asleep.
…
"Umph….Stupid people, why do you have to draw the curtains open all the time…?" She grumbled before snuggling closer to the warm bolster she thought she was holding.
It smelt so nice that she even sniffed a few times before rubbing her nose on it.
"Morning…" A deep and husky voice sounded above her head that had her eyes open in an instant.
The sight that greeted her was a perfect manly neck with his Adam\'s apple popping up and down ever so seductively.
She had her hand resting his chest while she slept on his shoulder with her face burrowed in his chest as they slept under the same blanket.
She could feel his arm resting on her back, supporting her body.
She straightened her body ever so slightly before looking at the man\'s face, "Good morning."
Under the morning light, his messy golden ash-blonde hair seemed to be shining. The golden flecks in his dark eyes were more apparent.
What a handsome man!
She smiled brightly before sitting straight. The large roof of the swing protected them from sunlight so she was in no hurry to protect herself from tanning.
"You smell so nice. What perfume do you use?" She casually asked before removing the blanket off her body.
His lips twitched. Is this the first thing that comes to your mind after waking up in a man\'s arms?
Looking at her reaction, she frowned, "What\'s wrong? Didn\'t you sleep well?"
"I did…" He blurted out bitterly.
With a woman splayed over his body, cuddling with him while occasionally sniffing and licking his neck, he did sleep well. Very well!
She smiled brightly. Her mood was surprisingly very good today for a few reasons.
