47 Too Far Deep

Arrived at Zhi Ruo's bedroom, Wang Yong gently placed his little princess on the bed.

Wang Yong gently pulled the cover on top of her and tenderly tucked her in.

\" Sleep well. \" Wang Yong sat on the bed, next to her.

He calmly patted her head, \" Rest well. \"

\" Hmm...thank you... \" Zhi Ruo mumbled, half-asleep.

Her cute action made Wang Yong's heart tighten, ' This girl is really bad for my heart huh? '

He continued to watch over her and pet her head with a light smile.

Through the small door crack, the three other Zhi family members were shuffling to peer at the situation in the bedroom but could only see Wang Yong's back.

\" What do you think is happening right now? \" Hui Yin quietly inquired.

\" I don't know. \" Zhi Duyi frowned as if he was facing a great dilemma.

\" Why don't we just go in? \" Zhi Chao complained unhappily, he didn't like the idea that his sister was alone with a man.

\" How can we? Don't you see that they are having a moment right now? \" Hui Yin rebuked.

\" And why do we have to let them have their moment? \" Zhi Chao weirdly looked at his excited mom.

\" Sigh... \" Hui Yin sighed looking at his son's denseness.

\" Don't you see it? \" Hui Yin pointed.

\" See what? \" Zhi Chao was confused.

\" What? \" Zhi Duyi also curiously asked.

Hui Yin exasperatedly looked at the two oblivious men and revealed in a small voice, \" Love! Don't you see the love in the air? \"

\" What?! \" Zhi Chao's loud and cold voice was heard.

\" You are too loud! \" Hui Yin immediately reprimanded him.

Zhi Ruo seemed to have heard it and furrowed her brows.

Observing her little face, Wang Yong instantly remarked it and lightly soothed out her frown.

After making sure she was still sleeping, Wang Yong turned back his attention to the three curious family members. Wang Yong coolly put a finger in front of his mouth to warn them.

Seeing this, Zhi Chao immediately covered his mouth and nodded.

The three of them walked away from the door and back to the salon to discuss the discoveries they made.

\" Are you serious? \" Zhi Chao immediately asked his mom as they arrived at the salon.

\" What else could it be then? \" Hui Yin convinced.

\" I mean...it could be...friendship? \" Zhi Chao was obviously an amateur at love.

Zhi Duyi nodded in agreement.

\" Friendship? You saw the scene and still believe it was friendship? \" Hui Yin shook her head at the two men.

\" Why can't it be friendship? \" Zhi Chao was still a bit lost.

\" Friendship is good. \" Zhi Duyi affirmed.

Hui Yin looked at them and asked, \" If you had a friend that got sick, would you carry her so sincerely and patiently stay with her to make sure that she was sleeping well because she was lacking sleep? \"

\" I mean if it was a good friend... I would. \" Zhi Chao answered honestly.

Zhi Duyi pitched in, \" I agree. \"

Hui Yin scolded her husband, \" If you did that to a woman, I would have been very mad at you. \"

Zhi Duyi stayed silent for a moment, \"... I understand now. \"

\" What do you understand, dad? \" Zhi Chao chimed in.

\" It means that you would only do it to someone very important to you, more than a friend. \" Zhi Duyi calmly explained.

\" Like a best friend? \" Zhi Chao pondered.

Hui Yin sighed at her dense son, ' How is he so smart in studies and in work but so dumb when it comes to a matter of the heart? '

\" You'll get it one day. \" Hui Yin said with a smile.

\" More importantly, what did Doctor Lu say? \" Hui Yin asked.

\" He said that he can't make it tonight as he about to board a plane to come back and that he will only arrive tomorrow morning, he'll examine her then. Meanwhile, he told us to let her sleep as much as possible. \" Zhi Chao answered.

\" Hmm... he's right, let's not disturb Zhi Ruo's rest time. \" Hui Yin agreed

...

\" Ruoruo, \" Wang Yong gently called the sleeping cat, \" I will go back to my room now, continue sleeping. \"

Wang Yong's hand stopped and he stood up, preparing to leave: he was really scared of what would happen to him if he kept looking at her beautiful face.

As he was about to leave, he heard a light and almost inaudible mumble,\" ...Don't leave...Mr. Bear... \"

Even though she was extremely tired, Zhi Ruo still tried to make him stay. Her little hand reaching out. The warm palm that was petting her hand was gone and she was sad, after coming here, Zhi Ruo couldn't handle the feeling of not being spoiled anymore.

Hearing this, Wang Yong's lips couldn't help but raise up, \" So now you know who is the true man of your life... \"

Wang Yong laughed and sat on the floor directly next to the bed and gently held her extended hand.

' Sigh...he was already too far deep, there was no way he would make it out in his entire lifetime...'

Even though he was thinking that Wang Yong happily surrendered to his fate.
