It was already morning and the sun filtered in everywhere in the room. The windows had no curtains as they were fixed windows, thus the sun's ray hit the figure laid in the bed. Ah Si who was crouching down at the bedside woke up by the scorching sun hitting him in the eyes and he looked around.
Feeling something is amiss, he looked around and noticed that she was sleeping peacefully in the bed. He had gone to the toilet last night and he even stayed there for a long time. When he came back, he saw that she already drifted towards her dreamland. Not bearing to wake her up, he just let her be and sat next to her the whole night.
He doesn't remember when his eyes shut off.
Stroking her red shaded cheeks, Ah Si made sure she was well tucked in. The weather in A City was getting chiller day by day. She had just recovered and he wished for her to be healthy -- always.
He stood up and his daily routine started right then. He stretched a bit with a few of his cracking bone popping out loud. It was a great experience for him to not sleep in a bed.
He went inside the toilet and only emerged out of it when he was done. Hanging loosely on his pale toned V line waist was a black towel. He held the knot tightly and moved towards the circle entrance. Pausing in his steps, Ah Si turned around and his deep eyes deepened in surprise.
Coming to realize that this wasn't good for her condition, Ah Si strode towards her. He shook his head with a deep chuckle coming from his mouth. Putting a hand underneath her thighs, he held her up like a princess and fixed her sleeping position. Aizhe who was in her dreamland didn't even budge but instead felt more comfortable with her pillow.
It somehow turned more comfortable. She squeezed herself more into his chest and a silly smile formed on her face. Her low bun turned into a messy bun and she slept more comfortably.
Seeing that content on her face was his only aim in this life and he wished the plan today would make that happen. He wasn't going to let any of them go unpunished.
Making her sleep in a more appropriate position, Ah Si tucked her in once more. It was currently half-past five and he wished to also leave early for the office.
Going towards the circle door, Ah Si rotated the small button and inside the circle entrance, another wardrobe emerged in front of him. It felt like it was a time travel to the future world.
Everything in that closet felt like a hidden program.
The natural gleaming sun light's filtered in from the circle-shaped window and it landed on his well-structured face. Raising his hands, he moved a hand through his naturally long strands. He took out the hairband and let his raven bun hang stunningly loose on his broad yet lean shoulders. Few strands were resting messily on his forehead and eyebrows.
One step forward, he looked at the different attires and shoes placed in the closet. Blue, white, black, any shades were found there. Clothes that were mentioned in the A City's latest fashion event would automatically be found in Ah Manor's wardrobes. Not only him, but the entire Ah Residents also had that opportunity. From a young age, Ah Si had the fond of collecting good clothes and dressing up stylishly. Had he not been a businessman, he for sure would have been a designer or a model.
He made sure all his apparel were not only classy but a tint of his own style was also present.
Something a lot of A City's Business Tycoons got curious about was how he managed to be so handsome but at the same time so clever. Weren't those two elements always 'choose a one' type of conditions?
God for sure favored some people over the others. He picked a grey office coat, grey pants, and a pair of white sneakers. Moving to the small glass desk, there were various perfumes and he started to test them out one by one on the test sheet.
Feeling the room getting a bit aromatic, Aizhe who was in her deep sleep coughed. She felt the smell of a men's perfume and sat up. Looking around with her swollen face, it took her a minute or so for her to remember where she was.
Her eyes were puffy from the sleep and she wondered where Si was. Standing up, she limped towards the windows.
The sun was glowing bright yet the weather was cold. Her hands reached out to touch the windows and she felt the bliss of the mornings sunrise. Ah Si's room felt another dimension to her. It was different from all the rooms she had seen in the Li Mansion. Everywhere she faced, she could see his own touch in it. Smiling bright, Aizhe sneezed multiple times. Raising her hands, she noticed the red rashes that started to form on her arms. She also felt itchy.
"Allergy.." She sniffed around and understood the aroma in the room. It was perfume. She was severely allergic to perfumes and it seems like Ah Si had applied a mild type of perfume. Sneezing a couple of more times, Aizhe covered her nose.
She moved to the circle door and stood there wondering if she should alert him about her smell sensitivity. Raising her hands, she was about to knock but then came to realize that the door was already open. She pushed it and saw a scene she believed would haunt her forever.
"Ahhhhh," she screamed covering her eyes. Turning around, she faced the direction of the bedroom.
Ah Si stood there facing the windows, holding the towel from both sides, about to remove the towel, when his ears perked and he immediately tightened the towel to ensure it doesn't fall.
He moved towards the door and saw Aizhe's slumped figure in front of the entrance. His deep eyes looked at her flushed face and he smirked, looking down at his bare chest.
The bathrobe was right next to the sofa but he debated against it and went to her instead. "Zhe, what happened?"
Aizhe who originally felt like she made a mistake by screaming had now felt like she committed a crime by entering his room. She stood up, ready to defend herself but she froze at the sight in front of her. His tall body felt like a painting out of the art museum. His milk toned abdomens comprised of two connected muscle bands that run parallel to each other, down either side of the abdomen. The two muscles formed 8 parallel lined pack abs.
Water dripped through his bumpy muscles and reached straight to his V lined waist. The towel hanged loosely on his waist as to tease her over and over again.
Aizhe gulped and as if thunder had stricken her, she stood there motionless.
"Enjoying it, love? Say, I visit the Manor's gym and build more muscles for you? 10, or even 12?," Pausing from her reverie, she looked into his teasing eyes. She came into her senses and waved her hands to explain herself.
"What a a..re you ta..lking? Cl..cloth..clothes, wea..r your cloth..es," Stuttering, she hit herself in the head² and turned around. Ah Si's lip quivered as he tried to cover up the smile that was about to form on his lips. He walked over and held her shoulders. Unbeknownst to her, he already turned her around to him and at that moment her senses got alert.
She started to sneeze several times making him worry. Holding her shoulders, he moved towards her but she raised her hands to make him stop coming forward.
Her action came a bit off to Ah Si and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"What happened Zhe?," He attempted to hold her again but her sneezing got worse. To worsen it off, she started to cough. Attempting to speak, Aizhe waved her hands and told him that his perfume was the cause. She bent down and covered herself up.
Finding a bit of relief from all the sneezing, she laid in front of him like that. He looked around and grabbed his bathrobe. Wrapping it around himself, he held her body up and laid her in the bed.
"Pardon, didn't know you were sensitive to perfumes. I had to attend a business banquet, so.."
She coughed a couple of more times and finally her coughing and sneezing came to stop. She raised her hands and desperately shook her head to tell him she was fine. "It is okay, you didn't know it. Leave all this and get ready as you wish." As she smiled, she stood up to go to his close in wardrobe.
Holding her nose, she looked at the huge wardrobe. Aizhe gasped inwardly and thought that this was a rich people 's thing. Her widened eyes and shocked face separated her from the rest. Three months, but she still hasn't got adapted to this life.
She desperately wanted to smell the street food's aroma and join the bustling crowd of the market. She also wanted to happily walk in the village bridge. Play with her little kid gang and also tease Ni Rong all day.
It might sound shocking to hear but she did miss her 'Devil' boss.
She glanced at the room and a grey suit caught her drizzly brown eyes. Looking at it, she realized how good it would look on to him. She smiled while picking up and going out of the room.
"Ah Si, here. You can go to your banquet now." She handed the suit while looking at him with a flushed face. Her earlobes tinted red and she waved the clothes in front of him
Smiling at their similar pick, he took the suit and saw her pleasant face. He came closer and held her waist closer to her. Her wonderful drizzly gaze locked into his and he saw the hint of shock by his actions in her eyes. Pulling her more closely, he said: "Be good and stay at home. I will go and come back soon. Ailin will be with you in the meanwhile, you can do that much right?"
If anyone saw their position, they would think a lover was expressing his love for his partner but Aizhe was the only one who knew what he meant by his words. Just because she always got into accidents, he talked to her like he was a pacifying a child to sleep.
Pushing his chest away, she frowned. "Why, I, Aizhe can also take care of myself," She turned around and was about to leave when he held the back of her hands. Turning her around, he said:
"My dear, I know that. However, how would I be okay knowing another mess had been harbored.."
"You! How could you say that? You will see how good I am when you come back later. Don't regret your words, Si!" She hadn't felt this irritated for a long while. Pulling her chin forwards, she humphed at him. She had to show who she was. No one had ever dared to call her a troublemaker... well, beside her grandfather and her Rong Rong.
However, the next moment she paused. Her wordings just now...
To feel embarrassed at once was understandable but over and over? What was wrong with her?
She waved her hands in the air and dared not to look at him, "I mean..i--"
Ah Si cut her off. "I can't wait then..make sure to impress me well, Miss Li." She widened her eyes and was lost for words. Her mouth was left wide a gape by shock and he who was like a bee that got attracted by the honey pulled in to taste her sweetness.
The kiss didn't last for a long time and he immediately let go after her. Aizhe held her mouth in shock. Shock after shock, she was left for no words. Looking at him with her raised index fingers, she pouted more and more in an irritated manner. She looked like she was taken advantage of by in a game of one and one.¹
Ah Si saw her tinted cheeks and rosy lips. He couldn't help but leave a quick peck in her cheeks. The red color earlier was more darker. He loved her cheeks which always showed their own emotions. Their colors indicated her heart's feelings. He shook his head and chuckled at her cute defensive look at him.
"Si, please dress up first." She slipped from his grasp and ran away from the room holding her cheeks. Chuckling at her childish behavior, he moved a hand through his hair.
Looking around at his room, he went towards the cabinet and dialed a number. Soon, a maid came in with a rushed and panicked manner. "Master, anything I can help you with?,"
"By tonight, I want all the perfumes or any sort of essential oils out of my house."
"But Master, those are all from Dior and Versace. Do you wish to have nothing at he--" The maid was left astonished by his sudden decision.
As far as she remembered, they were all present from the Elder. Young Master never disposed of them unless they were empty.
When she caught his sudden rigid expression, she shut her mouth and bowed instead.
"Replace them all with natural ones, understood?,"
"Yes, Young Master." Bowing once more, she left the room and closed the door on her way out.
He stood there and only moved to get dressed after a while.
