Something Wasn't Right

Han Meixiu's face started to blush but she tried her best to looked at Liu Zijian as if trying to see if he was just joking. As she distanced herself from him, she tried her best to check if there's a slight sign that he's just fooling around.

Unfortunately instead of seeing signs, she was actually starting to get distracted.

She didn't know if it was because she just woken up that her vision was seemingly giving her an illusion that this man was indeed gorgeous beyond reason, or it was a simple truth.

"You don't believe me?" He asked her. His voice contained amusement as he let those words rolled out his tongue.

"No, no, no...." She said as she profusely shook her head.

"So, you believe me." He said in a tone of confirmation. There was a subtle smile hanging on his lips while he further shorten their distance.

She shook her head again. What exactly was she's thinking? She lowered her head and bit her lips.

It wasn't that she didn't believe him. It was more like she couldn't believe she could do what he was claiming.

Looking at Han Meixiu's reaction as she was clearly debating something on her head, he held her chin and slowly lifted her face.

Liu Zijian wanted her to focus on him.

"I'm not lying."

She actually felt he's really not but..

"But...how would that be possible? How can I m...mo...you? You're clearly stronger than me..." She couldn't even say that 'molested' word. It simply didn't make sense. Based from their physical attributes, it would be impossible for someone like her to overpower the man.

"You drugged me."

"Huh?" It was like she was hit by another huge force making her brain froze and she felt a little dizzy.

She drugged him then molested him afterwards?

Just what kind of person was she in that time?

The more she thought about it, the more she refused to believe.

But what's the reason she did that?

She could think of two.

One, he did something really despicable to her thus she wanted to retaliate.

Two, she must have really liked him.

The first one seemed unacceptable. Based from what she experienced living with the Liu's they're not the type of people who harm others unless they're probably provoked.

'I must really liked him a lot that I ended up doing those heinous things to him.'

"But..." She softly murmured.

There could be other reason side from those?

"Do you still have any question?"

"No, I don't" She simply answered. It was more or less she was a bit scared of what she would possibly find out.

Liu Zijian gave a quick smack and went to the bathroom.

Han Meixiu stared at the closed door for a time before she retracted her gaze.

'Han Meixiu, where did you get your guts that time?' She couldn't help herself murmur those words.

Upon pondering more, her imagination started to create a scenario. It was not a decent one.

She slapped her self several times to stop her imagination to run in an unrestrained direction. She cried inwardly as she was convincing herself to calm down.

'I drugged him then molested him. But he didn't report me to the police? And we ended up getting married? Something wasn't right.'

Han Meixiu was already lying down on the bed when she heard the door opened and closed but she didn't move and pretended to be already sleeping. Although she still wanted to ask questions, she opted not to as she felt she would hear more outrageous answers from him.

It wasn't only the slight movement on the bed that made Han Meixiu tensed up. The scent he was carrying from the moment he went out of the bathroom and slowly moved to her side was torturing her entire being.

Her mind that she forcefully calmed earlier not to think of unwanted thoughts started to wonder again. She cursed herself inwardly.

'What's wrong with wanting your own husband?' A part of her mind was debating against her rationality. It was a persistent small little voice that she was trying to silence.

But she remembered what she said to Liu Zijian, that except from small kisses it would be better for them to not to be too intimate until she could recover her memories. Since he agreed, it would be a extremely embarrassing if she would abruptly take it back.

She scolded herself again. If she didn't ask him earlier, then she wouldn't know her shamelessness in the past. She could still held her head up high and pretend to be cool.

Liu Zijian saw his wife trying her best to pretend she's sleeping when he sat on the bed. He actually didn't mind if she could remember everything or not as he's willing to tell her every single detail about her since they met.

But since she wanted to recall them, he would definitely support her. There were also some questions he wanted to ask her.

Liu Zijian looked at the young woman on his side and her stiff posture of 'sleeping' on her side.

He slowly wrapped his arm and carefully moved her towards him. He could only sleep peacefully if he could feel her warmth and her unique scent.

Even though he felt her small reaction he didn't tease her further for pretending to be sleeping.

Han Meixiu who was preventing her eyes to open was slightly startled.

All of her senses were heightened making her extremely cautious affecting even her way of breathing.

She observed their position. The way Liu Zijian casually wrapped his one arm around her was seemingly a natural thing to do. Her body was also comfortably accepting him.

When the sleepiness finally came in, she started to dream.

That dream didn't help her situation at all. It made worse. It was maybe the manifestation of her thoughts.

In that dream, she saw her self giving Liu Zijian wine and after he drank it, he fell unconscious. She actually saw herself laughing like a villainess who just achieved her ultimate victory. She could even see the evil grin and wicked gaze she was giving the unconscious man.

As if a normal thing to do, her fingers slowly traced the profile of his face enjoying every second her skin touched his'.

Her fingers traveled from his face, to his neck, collarbone and finally resting on that first button of his shirt.

She started to feel warmer as her excitement went up to another level.

When she was about to unbutton his shirt, his hand moved and capture her unrestrained hand as his eyes menacingly stared at her.

It scared the hell out of her making her eyes opened wide.

'Damn that dream!'

She was still catching her breath and trying to calm herself when she discovered that her hand was indeed on the top button of his dark colored pajama shirt and to add to her horror, Liu Zijian's hand was holding hers.

She didn't dare to check if he's awake or not.

She just remained in that position until she eventually slept.

Liu Zijian on the other hand felt a little frustrated as he sighed. His effort was wasted.

He was really destined to wait.
