Chapter 301 - Like A Domineering CEO

Yunru then curiously asked, "By the way, I wanted to ask you...what were you thinking when you were falling? I mean, of course, you must be terrified. But your expression seemed a little odd to me."

Zizi blinked her eyes and thought back to that moment when she felt that she would die.

"Oh!"

She sheepishly grinned. "I thought that I was really gonna die and you would be all alone. So I was praying to God."

He tilted his head. "God?"

.

"En. I prayed that you get another princess to make you happy," her gaze dimmed. "I can't see you living your whole life alone. A man like you deserves to have a good wife and a family. But if I were to be dead-"

Yunru gently knocked on her forehead. "Idiot. There is only one Princess in my life and that is Han Zizi. Nobody can replace you."

She froze.

"There is no question of finding any other woman. Only you can be Princess, okay?"

Zizi dreamily stared at him and felt her heart flutter. Except for the part that she was kidnapped and almost died, this was the most special night of her life.

She cleared her throat. "I-Indeed! Becoming a princess like me is not easy. Hmph. Not anybody can be a princess."

He chuckled. "Yes. Princess is unmatchable."

She grinned.

The clock chimed and it was already midnight in the night.

Yunru said, "It's late. You should...head back to your room."

To be honest, Yunru actually didn't want her to leave tonight. After seeing her so close at death's door, he wanted reassurance and wished to stay with her tonight. He wanted her presence with him to make him feel that everything was really alright.

Zizi, on the other side, had similar thoughts. It was an incredible night in various ways, and after listening to Yunru's heartfelt emotions, she had an urge to stay with him.

She bit the corner of her lip and tugged his shirt. "Ca-Can we not...stay together for tonight?"

He shook.

"I don't want to go back…" she softly said. She lifted her gaze and pleaded. "Please?"

How could he deny those beautiful eyes that were urging him?

He felt happy to know that Zizi was wishing for the same. He coughed and looked away. "Well, s-sure... It's been a tough night."

Zizi beamed and a bright smile bloomed on her lips. She jumped into his hug. "Thank you, Yunru!"

He smiled and patted her head.

They took a bath in turns and as it was time to go to sleep, Yunru and Zizi had a big question in their minds.

Are we going to sleep on the same bed?

Zizi's expression sparkled even more, thinking of sharing a bed with Yunru. She couldn't help but hide her face in embarrassment.

Ah, Ah!!

She was internally rolling on the floor in her thoughts in pure bliss.

Yunru coughed. "You sleep on the bed. I will take the couch…"

"..."

And just like that, he poured cold water on all her hopes. She glared at him. "Why can't we sleep on the same bed?"

He coughed again. "You...I don't want you to make uncomfortable-"

"Oof. You don't have to be such a gentleman all the time! Why can't you be a little more domineering like the CEOs in the novels that I read?" She whined.

"..."

She shyly said, "I won't mind if you pushed me on the bed…"

"You…!"

A cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

"Or…"

Zizi suddenly pushed him on the bed and climbed on top of him. "Or maybe I can act like the domineering CEO~" she giggled.

Yunru looked at her wide-eyed. His eyes automatically shifted towards her chest and he could faintly see the cavity between her breasts. The freshly bathed smell of the soap wafted through his nostrils and he swallowed a gulp. Her silky hair dangled on his cheeks and the scent of the sweet fruity shampoo made him feel a little delirious.

This isn't good for my heart…

Her soft and warm body gave him an urge to hug her hard.

"You shouldn't really provoke me like this," he narrowed his eyes.

Zizi's sweet sound of her laughter echoed in his ears and he watched her in a daze. "You are so cute. You are being a gentleman on one side and then warn me not to provoke you on the other side. Decide yourself what you wanna feel exactly."

His mouth twitched.

Yunru grabbed her arm and turned her on his side. "Go to sleep."

"Whaaat?" She whined. "Don't go…"

"I am not going anywhere."

He laid beside her and faced her. "Happy?"

She chuckled. "Very!"

He smiled. "Don't jump at me in the middle of the night."

She pouted. "How did you know my plan?"

"It's written all over your face."

Her cheeks puffed up in disappointment. "I thought I could steal some kisses from you in your sleep."

He choked. He sighed and shook his head.

Yunru switched off the lamp and wrapped themselves in a duvet. "Good night."

"Can I scoot a little closer?" She hopefully asked. "I am a little scared of the dark…"

He squinted his gaze. "...Okay."

She brightened and took a huge leap and landed directly into his arms.

"..."

He pinched her cheek. "This is not a 'little' close."

"What do you mean? There is still a lot of space between us," she innocently said.

Yunru looked at the tiny gap between them. "How much? Just five centimeters?"

"Not just five centimeters. Five WHOLE centimeters. You are focusing at the wrong point."

After spending so much time with her, he understood that he couldn't win against her in such arguments.

He chuckled. "Alright."

Not that he minded it actually.

"Good night."

Zizi quickly pecked his chin and said, "Good night!"

"You…Princess…"

"Zzzzzzz…" She looked as if she was fast asleep.

His brow twitched.

As if you are asleep! Nice acting.

Yunru stared at her and silently chuckled again.

So cute.
