Chapter 34 - 34. Strong...

Qin ZiXuan was the first one to get out of his stupor...he let out his breath and settled beside her as he softly flicked her head.

"Linlin, that was dangerous", he said in a soft but stern voice, he wasn't trying to scold her well, only he was allowed to do that but he never ever scolded her once, he was just warning her. She was never the type to who needed someone to scold him to tell her right from wrong just that at times like now, she turns impulsive without looking at consequences.

"En. Dui buqi.." She knew she was in the wrong and acted impulsively.

He just sighed and gave a soft peck on the place he had just flicked.

Qin Meilin has gotten used* to it by now and didn't freeze up anymore though her brows twitched slightly.

" I applied more force than intended. I just wanted to take a look.", as she said that, she pointed to her eyes; she still hadn't seen clearly what exactly happened.

While speaking she kept staring at his eyes, he somehow felt a bit nervous at being stared up like this when suddenly he felt her fair and soft fingers rubbed past his eyes.

"Keep your eyes closed for the time being", he heard her speak in a soft voice with slightly furrowed brows.

"I'm fine, Linlin", his voice was not like his childish voice nor was it cold, it was similar to the voice of a doting husband, who now, was happy beyond reason because his cute little wife was fretting over nothing, but of course, with how worried she was, she didn't notice the change in his tone.

She just gave a perfunctory, "hmm"

The sclera (visible white portion of the eye) of Qin ZiXuan's left eye was red, well, the leftmost part beyond the iris was completely red.

It didn't look good at all!

She was sure that it was not like that when he was eating just now..it was spreading a bit fast.

'Is this an infection or normal inflammation?', she thought to herself as she got up to get his sunglasses, it was better not for it to come in contact with the air outside, the air in the city was not the best out there after all, even though, it was not smog, it was still polluted.

She thought of the fact that yesterday, he had gone out of his way to take her back to her apartment building at night, her eyes twitched in annoyance but she controlled herself from lashing out at her own self, XuanXuan took priority.

Qin ZiXuan didn't have a say on the matter plus he too was irritated because of the irritation, it was slightly burning, itching and his eyes were watering too easily, it didn't feel good at all.

They left the building directly through the exclusive elevator which led to the underground parking lot.

They will be going to her apartment, somehow, she didn't feel right to have him get a checkup at the office building, there might be a fuss plus there are old foxes everywhere, who knows what kind of rumors might spread...they were very famous, not having enemies was like living in a fantasy where pigs fly ba.

She always kept on alert, only she and her immediate family knew that his immune system is slightly weaker than a normal person and he gets infected by viruses and such really easily.

She didn't know the reason and as she had said earlier, she didn't need a reason to take care of his health and wee-being as she will always be there to protect him and no, it was not out of pity or something along those lines, it was just a pure desire on her side, because, she loved him and...for her it has always been like this, 'you must protect your loved ones.'

Qin Meilin took him to her apartment.

She had contacted the doctors earlier to go to the building, they were now waiting in the reception-cum-lounge area of the apartment building.

When they reached there, she helped Qin ZiXuan who, as ordered, had his eyes closed throughout or so she thought, into the building.

She greeted the team and with the doctors in tow, she went to her condo.

After she settled them in the living room, she went on to take a few calls from some project members to tell about the changes in her schedule; she had a project meeting to be at this morning, which she didn't attend to.

Well, her work was done and she was just supposed to supervise the flow of the meeting so, no harm done, on that front.

She called Secretary Qian to put the afternoon meeting on hold until further instructions, she also gave a heads-up to him to follow protocols in case the CEO was unable to attend the meetings and that if push came to shove, she will personally handle the matters, to which, the secretary sighed in relief because today's meeting was with some big shots in the industry.

It seemed like the Secretary had something else to say but he was not sure how to start or altogether unable to do it, she urged him to speed up and hearing the slightly edgy tone, he just affirmed everything as she hung up,...what he wanted to say, well, it's for the future to discuss on.

......

Watching her work out everything so efficiently and handling everything in such a proficient manner, from the side, Qin ZiXuan had a proud and doting smile on his face as the doctor checked him.

'Meilin is strong.....That is also a reason why I love her'

.......

Maybe it was the difference in his condition from back then or maybe it was due to the dream this morning but he couldn't help but think back about his past, a past he wanted to keep hidden from her.

Qin ZiXuan knew the reason behind his body's constitution.

Qin ZiXuan also knew that he was a monster.

He was immune to the deadliest and most potent of poisons....

He was strong enough to break all the bones of a body, double his size, in an instant and 'kill' someone in a heartbeat on a whim... but the only thing, which can be deemed to be his weakness, except Meilin, was his weak constitution.

Atsuki's corner:

*Atsuki: Got used to it? That was fast...(evil grin)

Qin Meilin: "...." (elegantly gets up and leaves the author alone)

Cold gales of wind whistled through the air...

Atsuki: "..." #My kids do not love me anymore... QAQ#
