Chapter 15：Doting (2/2)

” It's the second floor, down the hall, last room on the right.”

Su, Feng nodded. Qian Meigui smiled, and they bid goodnight.

Su Feng was afraid of waking Ren, so he kept still even after the television turned off, even after the hall lights dimmed and the only thing that emitted light were the rays of the moon from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He glanced at her once more and at the moment, she shifted. Su Feng thought she woke up but instead, she buried herself in his arm. Therefore he lifted it to give her more space. But she ended up nudging him into a half-embrace.

Su Feng held her and breathed in her scent. Her body smelled very sweet, like oranges and roses, and her hair smelled like apples. He could not help but wondered if their married life was going to contain more moments like this. But he shut out the thought, afraid of his pale feelings shifting.

Su Feng shifted and rose from their position. He picked her up gently and carried her in his arms. He walked up to the stairs, down the hall, and found her room.

The walls of her room filled with textbooks about biology, forensics, anatomy and medicine, it showed how hard she studied. Her walls also had pictures of her teenage years.

He approached her queen-sized bed and laid her down gently. He realized that she was still wearing her business clothing, but he could not do anything about it. So he covered her with a blanket when she curled up comfortably. He noticed the satisfied expression, and he loosed a silent breath in relief.

Su Feng wanted to return to his room, but something rooted him to the ground. He glanced at her once more, and her long black hair framed her beautifully.

When they both graduated, they rarely had opportunities to see each other. Occasionally they did, but when he heard that Song Ren was the heiress of Song Pharmaceuticals, he knew his father would propose them to marry.

If Song Sheng were the successor, both companies would remain rivals; then Song Ren would never belong to him. He gritted his teeth in frustration at the thought, but he gazed at the girl in front of him and calmed down.

Su Feng never understood the concept of love or being devoted to one person. But when he gazed at the girl in front of him, he felt unsettled.

Su Feng wondered why she stirred so much excitement whenever he saw or encountered her. He liked it when she spoke back to him; he liked it when she made those faces of annoyance at him. And yet, why did it feel as if he was bewitched?

He realized now that he was in love with her.
