Chapter 97 I Won'st See Anything, Promise!!

Lu Qiang took Jiang Yuyan to the bathroom while carrying her in his arms. As they entered the bathroom, Lu Qiang made her sit on the corner of the huge circular white marble bathtub and prepared to fill bathtub with water.

Jiang Yuyan was quietly sitting there while lowering her head as she was feeling quiet embarrassed that she was alone with Lu Qiang in the bathroom, while Lu Qiang was busy with filling the tub.

Once Lu Qiang finished preparing the bath tub he moved towards Jiang Yuyan. She was still sitting there while staring to the floor. Lu Qiang knew she must be feeling embarrassed or shy.

He didn't talk much, just said, "It's ready."

Jiang Yuyan nodded saying, "Hmm!"

She didn't look at him and tried to stand up but her legs were still shaking and she found it difficult to move.

Lu Qiang stopped her and lifted her up in his arms before she could understand what he was going to do. He carried her inside the bathtub in his arms. He then put her down into the water and made her sit while taking the support of wall of the bathtub to her back. He had to make himself sit down on his knee in the water to put her down.

Jiang Yuyan still was not looking at him. Lu Qiang could see she was uncomfortable but he preferred to ignore it, he knew she was feeling very week and it was dangerous to leave her in a bathtub like this. He looked at her and asked, "Will you mind, if I help you to wash yourself?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say. She wanted to say 'Yes' as she was feeling shy but wanted to say 'No' because she didn't want to offend him as she knew he was doing this because he was just worried about her.

She decided it was better to not offend him over feeling shy. So she shook her head while lowering her eyes and said, "I..I won't mind it."

Lu Qiang was in a bathtub with her and his clothes were drenched with water. He didn't think about removing his clothes as it would be very awkward for her.

As the bathtub had filled completely up to its edge, only the head and neck of Jiang Yuyan were visible. Lu Qiang moved closer and was sitting facing her he then pulled her slightly towards him like he was hugging her.

This sudden change in his movement made Jiang Yuyan startled and her body became stiff but she didn't react more as she trusted him. Her back was straight and stiff because it was unexpected situation for her but it made it easy for him to search the zipper of her dress. He found it by running his hand on her back in the water.

The moment Jiang Yuyan realized what Lu Qiang was doing, she felt even more shocked and her heart started to beat faster.

Lu Qiang unzipped her dress easily and moved back to pull it down from her shoulders while looking at her face which she was hiding from him by lowering her head down.

Jiang Yuyan's whole body, from her shoulder was under water which surface was covered with bubbles and she knew he couldn't see her but still when he started to pull down her dress from her shoulder, she instinctively wrapped her chest with her arms.

Lu Qiang stopped and said while looking at her lowered face, "I won't see anything, I promise!"

Jiang Yuyan heard him saying it and said, "It's..It's not like that鈥 just鈥?can't handle to get鈥?touched鈥?here."

She finished the last line in a broken voice, as murmuring to herself.

Lu Qiang heard it clearly what she said and replied in a gentle way as he was able to understand how she was feeling at that moment, "Trust me, I didn't plan to. Just let me remove the dress."

Jiang Yuyan trusted him and already knew, he never thought to do anything like that but her worries about her own body because of her past incident made her cautious around him subconsciously.

Upon hearing his assuring words, Jiang Yuyan loosened the grip of her arms around her chest and allowed him to pull down her dress from her shoulder. He did it but was not looking at her, instead he averted his sight.

Jiang Yuyan then looked up at him. She noticed, he averted his eyes in another direction before pulling down her dress from her shoulder, even though he would not be able to see anything because of the bubbly foam in the water.

While looking at him, so many thoughts ran through her mind in those few seconds.

She thought, 'She herself can do it. She can remove her dress from her shoulder as her legs were paralyzed not her hands. But why鈥?Why did she want to depend on him? Why did she want him to do it for her? Did she really want him to take care of her? Did she like it, the way he was taking care of her and her feelings? Did she like the way he was able to understand her without her saying a single word? Why wouldn't she say no to him?'

Again, so many 'Whys' were in her mind seeing this amazing man who genuinely cared for her, loved her and always gave priority to her feelings instead of his own feelings.

When Lu Qiang had pulled down her dress, he looked back at her face. He saw that she was staring at his face. He didn't say anything but helped her remove the whole dress under the water by lifting her up slighly by hugging her just by her shoulders.

When he finished removing her dress he didn't look at her because he knew she would feel more embarrassed.

She too averted her eyes and smiled lightly. She was blushing a little and she again tried to hide it by lowering her head down.

He had serious expressions on his face and said in firm voice, "Look at me!" He did it to make a situation normal from the awkward one.

She lifted her face and looked at him like a kid, who was ordered to do so by his parent.

Lu Qiang cleaned her face properly and washed her hairs too. He used shampoo from the bottle and the water from hand shower. Her scalp and hairs had been drenched in a sweat too. As it was a summer, he thought, washing her hair before sleep will help her to get good sleep which she didn't get because of the nightmare.

She was just sitting calmly, allowing him to do whatever he was doing.

Lu Qiang got out of the bathtub and drained all foamy water from the tub and filled it with the fresh one.

During all this he didn't look at her even once as she was not wearing anything. He was standing faced in opposite direction from her. He let her stay there for few minute just to allow her to shower off the remaining soap from her body.

She showered herself while sitting in the tub and stared at Lu Qiang's back. Once she had done she said, 'It's done."
