I am going to sleep here

Zhehan frowned looking at Li Xiaolu who was staring at her food. What is she thinking?

"Xiaolu? " he called her name but she gave him no answer. "Xiaolu... " he called her again shaking her hand.

Huh? Blinking her eyes, Li Xiaolu looked at him, "Did you say something? "

"Do you not like the food? " he asked nervously.

Looking at her untouched plate, Li Xiaolu sighed, "Ofcourse not... It's very tasty. I was just thinking something... "

"What? "

Lookinh at him Li Xiaolu shook her head, "Nothing...." Then she looked down at her plate and continued eating. Zhehan looked at her as his lips curled in to a small smile.

After finishing there dinner, Li Xiaolu washed all the plates while Zhehan cleaned the dining table "So when are you leaving? " she asked after everything was done.

"Morning... " he replied.

Li Xiaolu paused. He's going to stay tonight? Zhehan don't do this.... You are only going to get pain. And I have to put a stop to all of this before its too late.

"You are going to stay here tonight? " she asked furrowing her eyebrows. "Hmm... " he nodded.

"Why? You don't have a house? This is my house Zhehan and you are not sleeping here tonight. Thank you so much for the dinner you made for me, but you have to leave... Now! "

"Just because you have lots of money, do you think you can boss around people like this? Just because you are rich, do you think everyone would start dancing on your tunes and listen to your every word. Maybe you have people who would always listen to your every word, buy I am not one of them."

"We are strangers Mr. Zhang and I request you to please leave from my house. Right Now!" Li Xiaolu shouted pointing towards the door.

Strangers?

Hearing her words, Zhehan was hurt. Getting closer to her he asked coldly, "Say that again, what are we? We are strangers Xiaolu? "

His presence was suffocating her. She knew what she had said was very cruel to him but she had to do this.Taking a step back she nodded, "Yes. We are strangers"

"Look into my eyes and say that again " Zhehan asked holding her arm. Li Xiaolu didn't dare to even look at him. "Please leave... " she quietly mumbled.

Without saying anything Zhehan left her arm and walked towards her bedroom. Li Xiaolu stood rooted at the place looking at his back. Is he finally leaving?

Two minutes passed...

Five minutes passed....

Where is he? What is he doing inside? Did he leave from the window? Worried she rushed towards her room and was stunned to see Zhehan sleeping on her bed.

"You.... " Li Xiaolu said walking towards him, "Why are you sleeping on my bed? Weren't you going to leave? "

Opening his eyes Zhehan smiled, "Who said anything about leaving? I am going to sleep here... "

"Zhehan!!! " Li Xiaolu roared in frustation. "I have never seem such a shameless person in my whole life... "

"Fine! You want to sleep here... Then sleep" She said angrily taking her pillow, "I'll sleep on the couch... "

"Good night!! " Zhehan chuckled watching her leavinv angrily.

That stupid human! I said so many things to him, to make him leave. But no, he didn't even pay attention to those. As expected of a shameless person.

Lying on the couch, Li Xiaolu immediately fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

After 15 minutes,

Zhehan opened his eyes and got up from the bed. Walking towards Li Xiaolu's sleeping figure, he sighed bending down. Caressing her cheeks he smiled, "My stupid Xiaolu, do you really think that your fake words would ever hurt me? "

"I know you are scared of falling in love again but don't worry I would never pressure you Xiaolu... "

"I will slowly let you embrace that feeling, so that you would not longer be afraid of it... "

"I would patiently wait for the day when you would love me just like I love you... "

"I know you have a broken heart which is scared, but give me a chance to heal it... AND I promise you that you would never be hurt like this ever again..... "

"But even if you don't fall in love with me, then just be with me. My love for you is enough for the both of us.... "

Placing a kiss on her lips, Zhehan picked her up and walked towards her bedroom. Carefully placing her on the bed, he lied down next to her, taking her in his arms he covered the both of them with the duvet.

"Xiaolu I love you... And I wish to spend the rest of our lives like this together...." Zhehan smiled kissing her lips.

"Good night sweetheart... " he wished. Closing his eyes he smiled in satisfaction, as he fell into deep sleep with her in his arms.
