36 TIT FOR TAT PART 9 (2/2)

Xue Lin was still closing her eyes. She asked him, ”But aren't you doing what you should do? Are you doing what you want for you?”

Ge Chen calmly turned to face her. ”What do you mean?” His grey eyes were full of curiosity.

Xue Lin asked him back, ”You aren't used to taking orders, are you? And you are not used to sharing your plans with others either.”

Ge Chen's eyes started to smile. ”Why do you think so?”

”It's too obvious.” Xue Lin didn't explain the details. Her mouth was already hurting from talking to long. She wanted to stay quiet as much as possible. Well, he did tell her to do what she wanted to do after all.

Ge Chen's actions were pretty obvious. Xue Lin observed him closely. He talked less with others and never explained anything to them. He slightly greeted the chauffeur, Head Butler, and even his friends. They were all used to his commanding attitude, such as: what he wanted to do next. They didn't complain and obeyed him. Though he tried to act like a perfect husband by telling her that they would meet his father, he forgot to tell her his next plan. He didn't even ask her opinion about any matter.

They say old habits die hard.

Xue Lin smirked. ”Thank you.” She mumbled softly. 'My husband is trying his best to be a good partner. I should at least give him a hand.'

Ge Chen didn't know what made her happy but this was the first time he saw her relax and happy mood. Although she wasn't grinning ear to ear, her expression said it all. As long as she's happy, he's happy too.

Xue Lin tried to take some rest. Her heart was feeling lighter after venting her anger on the Ge Family. It felt good that she was able to vent it on the right person.

Suddenly she remembered that she was with three men in a car. Her body tensed. 'There is no way I can sleep now.' She took out her cell phone and started to play with it.

Ge Chen was surprised that she wasn't going to rest. He thought that she was trying to sleep. He couldn't guess why she had a sudden change of heart. ”Won't you take some rest? It will be a four hours journey.”

Xue Lin mumbled, ”It's alright. Just stop in front of a good restaurant at lunchtime.”

Louise gulped. 'Do I really have to see her gobbling up more than twenty pieces of pastries again?' Last time at the pastry shop he saw what a glutton Xue Lin was. He nearly puked in the restaurant. He had no idea that a small body could take so much sugar and calories. He thought, 'If she is used to eating like that then her body is one of the seven wonders.'

The experience he had that day, he didn't want to experience that ever again.
