"How long did I sleep?" She got out of the bed and walked towards him.

"9 hours," He said looking at the watch on his wrist.

She glanced at herself only to realize that she was still wearing the dress she had put on in the morning. Luckily, she had taken a shower before they checked out of the resort early in the morning.

'Rumble'

She stroked her stomach before looking at him with puppy eyes, "I am hungry. You will feed me till we are here, right?"

She did not know how long they would be staying here and given his mother's character, she will never arrange servants to let them stay alone and cultivate feelings. And her cooking was a blunder. So, it was better to grab Jun Zixuan's strong thigh at times like this.

Without replying to her, the man stood straight, turned around, and walked out of the room.

"Wow…" She looked at the dinner spread on the dining table and her eyes lit up. Quickly taking a seat, she picked up the fluffy dumplings first before gobbling it down, "Xoo…gwud.."

He frowned, "Can you eat like a human?"

She hurriedly chewed the dumpling and gulped it down, "I said that was good," She smiled before continuing to eat, ignoring his words.

After they had their dinner, Jun Zixuan washed the dishes while she sat on the couch dangling her legs back and forth.

Right at this moment, her phone started ringing getting her attention in an instant.

She stood up from the couch before looking around, "Where have you kept my phone?" She asked looking at the man's back.

"On the bedside table," The man replied without turning around.

She quickly walked towards the Master's bedroom and grabbed the phone from the bedside table before answering the call.

"Mei, are you free tomorrow?" Came Shi Luo's anxious voice from the other side.

"Yes, I have nothing to do? Is everything fine?" Yu Mei sat on the bed before leaning back on the headrest.

"You have to come to the hospital to collect your reports by 11:00 am."

"Alright, I'll be there," Yu Mei sighed, "I am not dying, Luoluo. Don't be so nervous about it. Let's meet tomorrow. Bye," With that, she hung up.

A few days ago when she was worried about it, Shi Luo was busy convincing her that everything will be fine then why did her positive attitude change all of a sudden?

Yu Mei wondered if her condition was serious.

She stood up from the bed and took out the sketchbook from the suitcase along with the shading pencils.

She then walked back to the bed before adjusting the pillows in a vertical position and sat there, leaning back on it.

Putting the sketchbook on her slightly elevated knees, she started sketching out the mechanism behind the pendant she designed back in Shanghai.

Since the living room was nearer to the bedroom and the door was also not soundproof was not soundproof, she could hear the tapping sounds of the keyboard.

"What a workaholic…" She mumbled to herself.

He just came back from a business trip and was already busy with work again.

It's still better than being penniless like me, she thought to herself. It was not like she did not work hard enough, just the transmigration think was not included in her plans.

Had she known it, she had made some money for herself in Beijing beforehand.

It was past midnight when Jun Zixuan closed his laptop and picked up the coffee mug from the table.

Taking the last sip of it, he placed it back on the table and stood up from the couch before stretching his body. His black shirt got tugged upwards in the process, revealing his prominent V line.

He raked his fingers through his messy hair before looking at the half-closed door of the Master's bedroom.

The light in the room was not out yet. The woman inside was not a peaceful creature to begin with then why was she so quiet?

He walked towards the room and pushed open the door before glancing towards the bed.

Yu Mei was sleeping while hugging a bolster tightly and one of her legs was tightly wrapped over it. The edge of the blanket was lying on the bed while the rest of it was not visible.

He walked towards the bed and picked up the blanket from the floor before covering her body properly.

He turned all the lights off only leaving the bedside light. Just as he turned around to leave, the woman kicked away the blanket again before sleeping on her back facing the ceiling.

He covered her again dragging it till her neck, pausing for a moment when he noticed her small movements.

The large window in the room was left open causing the slow breeze to caress her skin. A few strands of hair fell on her face. Her tongue slowly peeked out of her mouth, gliding across her bottom lips.

His gaze darkened as he leaned closer to her. He tucked her hair behind her ear, his hand lingering there for a moment while his gaze remained on her wet lips as he leaned closer to her until their faces were inches apart.

'Because I believed you'd protect me' The words she uttered on the beach kept ringing in his mind, giving him a strange feeling all over in his heart.

He cupped her cheek in his palm while his other hand rested on her side, trapping her in his arms. Tilting his head a little lower, he closed the gap between them, softly placing his lips on hers.

His heart skipped a beat as their lips touched, starting a small fire somewhere deep in his heart.

Suddenly, the woman moved.

''Mmmph…" Mumbling something incoherently, she gently licked his lips, snapping him out of his trance immediately.

He stood up from the bed and raked his fingers through golden ash-blonde hair. Disbelief marred his face as the realization of what he just did start sinking in.
