Chapter 387 - Following Her!

"Can you leave me now?" Zhenyi asked her husband.

He was holding her waist as if she would disappear anytime if he didn't hold her. Currently, they were lying under the sheets. Her back was touching his hot furnace chest and his arms wrapped around her waist. His fingers were caressing her tummy softly. His actions were tickling her now but could she stop him? 

No, he had been doing the same thing since last night!

"Cat eyes, can you please not move?" Long Jie murmured in a sleepy voice as he pulled her closer to his chest as if he could pull further. "I'm trying to feel the baby. Moreover, I missed you a lot. So, let's just lie in bed. It's not like we are going to the office." 

"Jie, It's me who is put on house arrest. Not you! Get up and go to the office! You are making me dizzy now!" Zhenyi said, frustrated.

Ever since she got out of jail, he had been following her like a tail. It was fine in the beginning but as the day came to end so was her patience. 

If she watched TV, he would sit beside her and stare at her face or belly, making her extremely uncomfortable. If she ate something, he would check ingredients twice or thrice. Hell, he would taste the food himself before giving it to her. She was no queen and she wasn't pregnant with a royal heir either but this man was making her believe as if she was. 

If she walked, he would walk beside her, making sure she didn't slip or fall!

What was she supposed to do? 

"What makes you think that I will go to the office leaving you in this condition?" Long Jie immediately questioned. Zhenyi didn't know why but her husband sounded incredibly offended. 

In the last twenty-four hours, Long Jie had successfully mastered the art of getting offended at every single thing she said. 

You know what, she would let him do whatever he wished! She had already troubled him so much! He was just insecure and scared that she would disappear again. If not going to the office provided him with the security that he needed, so be it. It wasn't like she was getting bored staying all day with him. 

"Jie, how about you leave me for a bit?" Zhenyi asked, gazing up to see his beautiful grey eyes. Ah, those eyes. She missed a lot. When she saw his wrinkled brows, she sighed, " I had to go to the toilet!"

"Oh, sure," Long Jie reacted faster than she had expected. She knew he didn't want to unlock her from his arms but she needed to attend nature's call. Taking the chance, she quickly slipped from his arms and then from under the sheets. As she wore her slippers, she found him moving after her. Apparently, following her. 

See, this was what she was talking about! 

"Where are you going?" Zhenyi questioned him as he grabbed his robe to hide his naked smooth chest. 

"I'm following you," Long Jie said without hesitating. 

"To the toilet?" Zhenyi just stood there and asked. 

Long Jie naturally nodded as if it was the most natural thing to do. "What if you slip?" He expressed his doubts, "Remember that time?"

Of course, she did remember the time when she slipped in the washroom and made him late for the office. Ah, some old beautiful memories. 

Zhenyi gave him her decent puppy eyes as she moved over to where he was standing. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed his jaw, and said, "I will be fine. I know you are scared but Jie, seeing your apprehension is making me anxious. It's just going alone to the toilet." 

Long Jie tightened his arms around her. He didn't want her to be anxious at all. He wanted her to feel safe and happy with him. He wasn't doing it intentionally but he wasn't one to blame. Imagine coming back home and getting to know that your wife is in jail for murdering someone? On top of that, she was admitted to the hospital and had some stitches on her head? As if it was less, she had been in a bomb attack. Last but not the least, his wife experienced all of these while being pregnant. 

How could he not be scared? 

However, he didn't want her to be scared. He wanted to keep her happy all the time. Her pregnancy was already complicated enough and now with tensions roaming on her head, everything was being over-complicated for her. 

He kissed her forehead and removed his arms. "Go, but come soon. I will be waiting for you in bed." 

Zhenyi gave him a wide grin while trotting away. When she returned, she found him on the bed reading a book. As his gaze fell on her, he placed the book on the nightstand and opened his arms wide for her. She slid into his arms under the sheets. It was raining out and she didn't feel like leaving the bed either. 

Once again, he locked her in his arms. She raised her gaze to look at his face. It was not only her who had lost weight but him too. He had dark circles under his eyes and his eye bags were deeper than before. His skin was dry, not at all well kept like before. Raising her finger, she trailed his forehead, bridge of nose, cheekbones and finally his jaw. 

Long Jie didn't stop the beauty in his arms from doing what she wanted to. He belonged to her. She could do anything to him. He wouldn't stop. Hell, he wouldn't complain at all! 

As if trailing his face wasn't enough, she lifted her mouth to bite his nose. Instead of wincing, he let out a chuckle and let his beautiful vampire bite him all she wanted.. Then, she kissed his nose, his eyes, and finally, her lips lingered on her forehead.
