Wife Loving Husband: Husband, spoil me some more!
142 Dependent on him.
Mu Yuehan placed the packed food aside and quickly wrapped Zhou Liying with the warm blanket. He wrapped his arms around her body, to give her his warmth.
"You are here." Zhou Liying looked at him with a weak smile. Her teeth were clattering because of the cold and her feet were freezing.
"I am here." Mu Yuehan rubbed her hands and she cherished the feel of his warm hands against her cold skin.
Zhou Liying was feeling emotionally and physically drained. So, when she felt his warmth, she let her guards down. She closed her eyes, letting his warmth sink into her body. She was feeling so warm with his touch and presence. She thought that she was all alone but he came here like her protector, saviour.
"Feeling any better or warm?" Mu Yuehan rubbed her hands and cringed upon finding them very cold.
His heart squeezed painfully as he thought in what condition she was sitting here. What would have happened to her by tomorrow's morning if he had not come here?
"I am feeling much better." She replied and tightened the blanket around herself.
The next second, her stomach grumbled, as if telling Mu Yuehan that it was empty. Zhou Liying blushed in embarrassment and scolded her stomach.
"You are hungry?" Mu Yuehan frowned and looked at the plate a few feet away from Zhou Liying. "Why did you not have that food?"
"Do you take me as a fool?" Zhou Liying rolled her eyes. She was feeling slightly better now. "Who knows what my aunt has mixed in this food? What if it's poison?"
Mu Yuehan nodded his head in understanding. "Don't worry, I have brought some warm food for you. First, have some water."
He took out the water bottle. He removed the cap and placed it in front of the lips of Zhou Liying. "I can't. My bladder is already full. I can't have water."
"Why don't you visit the restroom then?" Mu Yuehan suggested.
Zhou Liying looked at Qin Yanze with a sad smile. Understanding her reasons, he spoke, "don't worry, I am here. After seeing him for the last two weeks, I feel as if he is my family. You go and get refreshed. I am sitting here."
"Are you not afraid, I will run away, leaving you alone?" Zhou Liying mocked.
"So what? I will happily take your place if this means that you are getting some rest. Isn't it my duty?" Mu Yuehan gently smiled at her and Zhou Liying felt her heart melting. Few tears filled her eyes and her heart turned heavy. She was impressed with his dedication to her.
"Now go, it can be dangerous if you keep controlling your urges."
Zhou Liying removed the blanket and stood up. Her feet wobbled. She was about to fall when Mu Yuehan supported her.
"You alright?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Liying steadied her legs and then made her way toward the restroom. She shivered slightly, feeling the cold floor under her feet.
Mu Yuehan looked at her delicate body with aching. He wanted to run after her and carry her in his arm, but then, who was to sit in front of Qin Yanze?
Zhou Liying entered one of the cubicles of the restroom and relieved herself. She came out and looked at herself in the mirror, she cringed.
Her face was pale. She looked no less than a ghost. Her eyes were red and there was puffiness under her eyes. Her hair which she preferred to be smooth were looking no less than a bird's nest and all because she forgot to comb her hair in the morning when leaving the hotel room.
"No big deal, everyone was treating me as if I am poor. Nothing is looking good in me except for my dress." She mumbled to herself.
She washed her hands and then cleaned her face. She tried to comb her hair with her fingers. She pressed her hands over her now crushed dress.
Once satisfied that she no longer looked like a zombie, she returned.
A small smile appeared on her lips when she saw warm food served by Mu Yuehan. Her stomach grumbled loudly. She walked toward her seat and sit down. She covered herself with the blanket before falling over the food like a hungry lion.
"Calm down. Food is not running away anywhere." Mu Yuehan chided and rub her back. He looked at her with concern and worry.
"Where is the food? Why is the plate empty?" Zhou Liying asked in-between having her food when she saw the plate with food served by her aunt was now empty.
"I tasted it and as you have said, I doubted the food. I have packed it. I will drop it at some lab for checking." Mu Yuehan informed her and again wrapped his arm around her.
Zhou Liying finished the food as well as a bottle of water. Mu Yuehan smiled with satisfaction.
"This tradition sulks, don't you think?" Mu Yuehan commented. He placed his hands behind himself and leaned over them.
"This tradition does not sulk. It's the Qin family which sulks." Zhou Liying pointed out. She noticed that Mu Yuehan was feeling cold, so she passed him the blanket. He smiled and shared the blanket with her.
He pressed his body close to her and Zhou Liying too involuntarily shifted toward him, enjoying the warmth coming from him. Enjoying the feeling that someone was there!
"I remember visiting the memorial of my mother's aunt with grandpa. I was too shocked when I saw their whole family staying at night at the memorial. They were enjoying themselves as if the aunt was still alive. They were sharing about her funny life incident. It was so good to see them like that."
Zhou Liying took a long deep breath and shrugged her shoulders.
"This tradition was to happily send away a soul. But look at my family, they don't care to sit beside grandpa for even a minute. I don't know what he must be feeling right now." A tear fell from her eyes.
"I am sure, he is happy right now. He is happy to see you here." Mu Yuehan involuntarily held her hand.
Zhou Liying squeezed his hand, and once again, letting her walls down, she leaned against him. "Can you stay here tonight?"
"I am here. You can have a rest." Mu Yuehan started to run his fingers in her hair.
He knew she still did not have strong feelings for him. She was leaning against him in her weak time but still, his heart was overjoyed. He felt as if he had received a big achievement in his love life.
