Goodnight

Yang Jia spent the rest of her day with her Grandfather. They talked about Grandpa's Yang trip.

Hours flew by and the sun started to set. Yang Jia stood and gave a kiss on her Grandpa's cheek "I have to leave now Grandpa"

Grandpa Yang looked up at Xiao Jia with a pouty look like a child and he said "Why don't you stay the night and accompany your dear old grandpa?"

Yang Jia send him a helpless look "Really Grandpa? You're not a child...

I can't, I have to meet Sister Lee and the production of 'Beginning of Summer' tomorrow morning" she added. 'There is also a big white cat waiting for me, I can't let him worry' Yang Jia silently thought

Grandpa Yang sighed and let her leave reluctantly "Okay, but you have to visit me soon okay?"

She nodded "I promise"

Yang Jia grabbed her bag and walked out of the Yang ancestral home.

The driver was already waiting for her.

The drive to the Zhi Villa took two hours. Yang Jia didn't know when, but she soon fell asleep on the car.

When the driver arrived at entrance he saw Liang Guozhi standing outside. He was going to wake up the young miss, but the Young Master glared at him as if warning him not get near her.

Liang Guozhi knew where she went because the driver called him to inform him about Yang Jia's whereabouts.

Liang Guozhi didn't know why Yang Jia would visit an old, but big rustic mansion that is how it was described by the driver, but apparently she went there to visit her Grandfather.

Liang Guozhi didn't know what was Yang Jia's background and he didn't care because he would still love her even if she's poor. And if she is poor that would be perfect because he would be the one taking care of her. Still he knew that she wasn't poor and that actually came from an influential background because back in the forest where they used to meet. That forest was connected to the four private properties. Those properties are not just mansions that someone can buy. The biggest house is for the most influential family in their country. Even if they moved out of that house it will still belong to them.

The Liang family lived in the second to biggest house. Which means there is a family even more powerful than the Liang family. Nobody knew who that family was. The Liang family are competitive in some ways, but not in family status, so most members of the family didn't care who was the top family in the country and they weren't haughty or arrogant. A few knew them, but most people thought that the Liang family was the one who ruled China.

Liang Guozhi just knew that Yang Jia had to live of one of the other three houses, but which one? He did have this question in mind, but didn't plan on doing a research to find out. He just let nature take its course.

He walked towards the side where Yang Jia was sitting at and opened the door. He leaned down and slid his left arm under her knees and his right arm on her back. He lifted her with no trouble. He walked inside the villa and let the driver close the door.

Duke sense footsteps coming from the entrance. He immediately stopped what he was doing and bolted toward the sound. Duke suddenly stopped when he saw Liang Guozhi carrying Yang Jia. He looked at Liang Guozhi as if demanding for an answer.

Liang Guozhi looked at Duke with amusement. 'Seriously, the only reason why I haven't gotten closer to her is because of you so stop bothering her' He wished he could say those words to him, but he was positive that Yang Jia would ignored him even more if he did so. 'I need to find a way to get into this cat's good books.' He thought

"She fell asleep while coming back" Liang Guozhi explained

Duke growled in alarm as if saying 'Why should I trust you?'

Liang Guozhi hold the urge of rolling his eyes and said " I think you know me long enough to know that I'm not that type of person"

Duke grunted in response and moved away reluctantly.

Liang Guozhi carried Yang Jia and gently placed her on the bed. Winter just started, so Yang Jia wore some black genes and a white long-sleeve shirt with a thick silver coat and black chelsea boots.

Liang Guozhi was a gentleman, he called Aunt Mei to change Yang Jia's clothes into a comfortable sleepingwear. He waited outside until Aunt Mei came out. She nodded at him to assure him that Yang Jia was already tucked in bed and excused herself.

Liang Guozhi slowly entered the room and gently closed the door in order to not wake up Yang Jia.

He walked slowly towards her with a gentle smile on his face. There was a look of adoration in his silver eyes as he looked at her beautiful face. He raised his hand and slowly tucked a string of hair that has fallen in front of her face behind her ear.

He ran his fingers through her soft chestnut hair. He admired her adorable sleepy face. That same face she has now is the one that made him want to kiss her back when they were young and at the Tiger's Den.

Liang Guozhi let out a hopeless sigh, he moved his head until his forehead touched hers. "Why do you keep avoiding me?" he whispered into her ear.

He heard a soft muffled voice "Mmm be because I'mmm to shy and embarrassed to mmm look at you" Yang Jia was still asleep, but she clearly answered his question. If it was someone else who heard her, they wouldn't have understood her. But this is Liang Guozhi we are talking about. He definitely understood her perfectly.

His lip moved up. He stood up and kissed her forehead before he whispered "Goodnight" into her ear. He slowly walked to the door, making sure that he didn't make a sound. He opened the door ready to walk out, but he looked back at her sleeping figure before he closed the door and walked towards his temporary room.

Sadly, Liang Guozhi failed to hear the "Goodnight" coming from Yang Jia's lips, after he left.
