16 To his apartment? (1/2)

As Qiu Yue wiped her tears nonchalantly, a person's shadow moved ever so slightly and Qiu Yue smirked. How could Grandma Feng be satisfied without knowing about everything? But knowing her, Qiu Yue was more than sure that the show she'd just put on would only serve to please her.

As for how Qiu Yue had known that someone from Grandma Feng's own faction would be here, was simply because from what Qiu Yue could gather. Grandma Feng was very fierce and very protective of her family. Even though she clearly trusted Huo Zi Feng, she would still keep tabs on him, let alone Qiu Yue herself, who Grandma Feng didn't think could handle herself. But if this would ease Grandma's heart a bit, Qiu Yue didn't mind even mailing a copy of the movie to her.

Qiu Yue swiped across her phone and quickly called up Zhou Jia.

”Ah, sister Jia, could I trouble you to call for a press conference later tomorrow? Though please make sure that other than the informed reporters no one else is informed. Also, of the reporters called none should have a connection to the Lang Family or to Bao FeiYin. Please advise them strictly to keep it confidential until the moment of the press conference and also ensure none of the other employees are aware of this arrangement either.”

Zhou Jia wasn't entirely sure what Qiu Yue wanted to do, but she quickly set out to following the instructions. After all she didn't think that Qiu Yue would do anything blindly.

After that, Qiu Yue quickly skipped out of the area and went back to the hospital. Meng Hui's condition had been declared stable and the doctor told them that he would be fine after the stipulated time required for healing. Looking at Yuan ZeXi's state, it was very disheartening. Even if Meng Hui would heal, he had been injured. Qiu Yue could understand how he felt, she hated feeling helpless. Right now, because he hadn't been able protect Meng Hui, he was surely beating himself up. This feeling had nothing to do with the strength or abilities of the people they loved. To Qiu Yue, she would always try to protect that person. She felt responsible, she had a need to protect that person. So she could understand what he was feeling.

After she gave them all a change of clothing, she went to look for the doctor to get a prescription for medication to help with her anxiety. Till now, she could only ask Yao Yan to create fake ones but now, with this incident, she could get a proper prescription. She could tell the doctor that her past problems with anxiety had been triggered by today's happenings. It wasn't important really, and she had no idea why she did it, but either ways she felt it was a thoughtless and trivial decision to her.

She stuffed the prescription in her bag and then they bid Yuan ZeXi goodnight before leaving. He insisted on staying behind to take care of Meng Hui and none of them felt it right to say otherwise.

So Yao Yan set off to the Lang family house in her car while Qiu Yue got into Huo Zi Feng's Car.

Huo Zi Feng was a male lead and his choice in cars proved that point thoroughly. It was a completely unrestrained and luxurious McLaren P1. To Qiu Yue, she hadn't been all that into cars and sure, she knew her share of them, but this!! This gorgeous black beauty made her heart beat faster in excitement.

She ran her fingers across the cool metal, caressing it.

'So sexy!'

She bit her lips and thanked her stars as she got into the car. From the seats to the front panel, it was all like the pinnacle of luxury. It was... slightly surprising. This car was unrestrained, it was blatantly sexy. It wasn't much like the Huo Zi Feng most people knew, but Qiu Yue could understand after these few months. In his seemingly routine and cool actions lay a surging current of indulgence. He didn't often have the want for things but he never practiced restraint on those he did.

This was his car, only he ever used it. No other driver had ever driven it.

Qiu Yue was right, Huo Zi Feng was really very unrestrained with his desires and if he ever wanted something he'd go to any lengths to get it. This, of course, wasn't limited to just cars.

From the day Qiu Yue had accepted him, the month had already ended. But after that single conversation on that day, it seemed like she had completely pushed the subject to the back of her mind.

But to Huo Zi Feng even saying the words, ”I'll wait for you.”, had been torture. So how could he handle this radio silence!

Already, it didn't matter what she wore or what she did, everything she did seemed deliberate, a very successful attempt at driving him crazy.

Even today, even now, though she sat in such close proximity he had to remind himself that nothing could be done. He could only drop her home, he was supposed to anyway. But then her hotel room was farther away from hospital than they'd thought so Qiu Yue had fallen asleep with her head rest on the pane of the side window. Her lips parted slightly in an opening and her long black lashes lying steady on her cheeks. Her small hands were tucked into her jacket before going around her in a hug. She looked tired and the cuts on her charming face just made Huo Zi Feng all the more reluctant to wake her up, when he realized that the keys to her apartment were with Yao Yan. He quickly put a call through to Yao Yan but she only laughed.

”Why don't you take her over to your place?”

Yao Yan yawned, she too was very tired.

”I'm really tired so I don't think I can drive up to you guys now...”

Of course that wasn't the only way to get the keys to them, she could send it over with someone else, but who the hell would love dog food?!

ヽ(｀Д'#)ﾉ

Constantly throwing it at single dogs, those two were the heartless ones!

These two kids needed more time together. Closer, way closer to each other, and much farther from her sight.

The exasperation in Yao Yan's voice left Huo Zi Feng speechless. Before he could even say anything, Yao Yan hung up on him.

He then turned to look at the girl who sat there sleeping defenselessly and she shifted slightly leaning towards him. As Qiu Yue fell forward the top of her dress shifted too.

Very white.

(m｡_｡)m

....

....Was the universe testing him?!

He gently placed her head on his shoulder and then placing a hand under her knees and picked her up. Walking steadily to avoid jolting her awake, he rode the elevator up to his pent house on the top floor, all the while reciting the verses of the Confucian learnings in his heart.

After debating endlessly between the guest bedroom and his own, finally Huo Zi Feng put her down onto his bed and walked out to the living room

Actually, Qiu Yue had woken up when Huo Zi Feng had called Yao Yan. But then she had realized that her keys were with Yao Yan, obviously she could get in without the keys too but then hearing what Yao Yan had said her heart had started to beat faster.

This was... a chance? She could go over to his apartment?

That guy was respecting her 'wishes' and she wasn't that courageous that she would outright say anything! Not yet at least.
