Chapter 97 - 97 Too Clingy

97 Too Clingy

After Ming Liuyi finished watching the TV series, she stood up and stretched. She looked around and decided to go find Yao Zizhou and see what he was doing, but she did not find him in the bedroom or the study. She panicked. Yao Zizhou seemed to have disappeared.

Ming Liuyi immediately went to find Xiao Fan and anxiously asked, “Did my husband go out?”

Xiao Fan had been doing her job when she was suddenly grabbed by Ming Liuyi. She was a little confused and thought that something had happened. Otherwise, the madam would not have been so flustered. But on second thought, it could not be anything.

‘She must be worried about not being able to find the master.’ Xiao Fan said with a smile, “Madam, the master is in the gym.”

‘Madam is quite clingy. It has only been a while, but she actually misses the master so much? Ming Liuyi’s mood immediately brightened. She thought Yao Zizhou had gone out by himself. She quickly walked to the gym.

In the gym, Yao Zizhou was using a seated abdominal crunch machine under Zhao Qiang’s supervision. His clothes were almost soaked in sweat.

Under the clothes, his muscle definition was visible. The reason why Yao Zizhou was working out like this was because he knew that his wife seemed to like his muscles very much. So, as soon as his body felt better, he began to work out.

When Zhao Qiang saw the madam coming, he immediately handed the towel to him. But when Yao Zizhou heard Ming Liuyi’s voice, he still insisted on finishing his last set.

Ming Liuyi walked to Yao Zizhou’s side. She wanted to take the towel and help Yao Zizhou wipe the sweat off his body. But proved to be a little difficult. Just as the towel was about to touch Yao Zizhou’s body, he immediately grabbed Ming Liuyi’s hand. He had just finished training, so the smell of sweat was particularly strong.

Yao Zizhou did not want her to feel disgusted by him, so he softly said, “The smell of sweat is a little strong, I can do this myself.”

They could not turn on the air-conditioner in the gym, since it was easy to get sick if they turned it on right after training. Ming Liuyi stood there for a while and started to sweat. It was really uncomfortable. Even though she could see Yao Zizhou’s muscles, she did not want to stand there anymore, so she said, “Train well. Good luck. I’ll be leaving first.”

After saying that, she immediately turned around and left. She did not know why, but when she spoke just now, her throat felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not pay much attention to it. When she returned to her room, Ming Liuyi immediately took a shower, turned on the air-conditioner, and covered herself with a thin blanket to sleep. She did not know how much time had passed, but Ming Liuyi did not sleep peacefully, tossing and turning constantly.

It was a very fitful sleep. Finally, when she heard someone call her name, she woke up in a daze and saw Yao Zizhou facing her with a very serious expression. She was shocked. ‘What happened?’

Yao Zizhou sat by the bed, facing Ming Liuyi and looking very worried as he said, “Liuyi, you’ve caught a cold. Now that you’re awake, have some congee, and take your medicine before you go to sleep.”

Ming Liuyi felt that her body was warm, but her spirit was still good. She thought she could get up and eat something. She threw aside her blanket and was about to get off the bed when, as soon as she stood up, her legs became a little weak, as if she could not use any strength at all. Her center of gravity suddenly tilted forward, and she let out a small yelp. She was falling.

Yao Zizhou immediately panicked when he heard her and reached out to catch her. Ming Liuyi was picked up by him mid-fall, and sat on Yao Zizhou’s lap without any warning.

Ming Liuyi panicked even more. Yao Zizhou’s legs were not fully recovered yet, and sitting down like this would only make things worse. Ming Liuyi immediately wanted to stand up, but she could not exert any strength or control over her body. Yao Zizhou felt her body moving around in his arms, her breath blew onto his neck, and he could not help but gulp.

Ming Liuyi did not notice any of this, she just wanted to get up from Yao Zizhou’s body as soon as possible. If Yao Zizhou’s legs got worse, she would not be able to forgive herself. Yao Zizhou was actually feeling worse, and if Ming Liuyi continued to move, he might not be able to resist anymore, so he said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move, sit still.”

Hearing Yao Zizhou’s words, Ming Liuyi immediately stopped moving and remained seated on his lap. She found that Yao Zizhou’s body was a little cold and very comfortable, so she could not help but burrow into his arms, and kept rubbing her face against his exposed skin.

“I’d to drink some water.”
