Chapter 188: Mei Xiu in depression!
*tap* Zhao Tian walked out of his room with a worried expression etched on his face. He promised himself that he would be with Mei Xiu when her grandmother dies.
But, because he came to Zhenzhu, he can't be with her now.
Ling Chen who had just come out of her room saw the worry on Zhao Tian's face and was surprised. She quickly caught up to him and asked "What happened?"
Zhao Tian continued walking, not responding to her and Ling Chen stopped on her tracks, looking at his back as he walked away, her heart trembling with confusion and hurt 'W-What did i do? He could have answered me.'
Zhao Tian directly went to Ling Meiying and opened the door without even knocking. "Huh?" Ling Meiying, who was changing the dress in her room was startled and turned around.
Hm? Zhao Tian gaze fell on the seductive body in front of him, with alluring boobs and captivating curves and enticing thighs leaving him unable to tear his eyes away..
Feeling his gaze, she was embarrassed, but she didn't make an effort to hide her body and let him take a good look, feeling kind of proud that he was awe struck by her body.
Zhao Tian shook his head and walked near her. Ling Meiying who saw his weird attire, was stunned "Husband? You are going back to the human world?"
Gently taking her waist in his arms, Zhao Tian spoke "I just received information. Someone close to me is dead. So I got to go..."
Ling Meiying blinked her eyes in surprise and nodded "I see." She spoke with a hint of disappointment in her tone as she lowered her gaze.
Seeing this, Zhao Tian raised her chin and asked, "What happened, dear?"
Ling Meiying let out a gentle sigh as she leaned on his shoulder. "I just thought that I could spend more time with you here and deepen our relationship."
"I want to learn more about you and thought of going on a date with you. So I was getting ready just now, but you are leaving suddenly. So... I am sad."
Zhao Tian was kind of surprised by the tender-hearted woman in his arms, and he couldn't help but smile in happiness. Any man would be lucky to get a gentle woman like her.
Raising his hand, he softly patted her head "I am not going forever. I will be back soon. And if you ever miss me so much, just ask Huang'er how to use that ring, and she will help you."
Huh? Ling Meiying was confused upon hearing this. "But husband, I already know how to use the storage ring."
With a soft chuckle, he placed a kiss on her forehead "Ask Huang'er and you will know. Also, inform others that I'll be gone for a while."
...
*thud* Ning Xue who was eating her food on the couch turned her head as she felt Zhao Tian's presence and saw him entering in.
But seeing his dress, Ning Xue giggled softly "Is this the weird outfit that caused some rumors in royal capital?" She remarked looking at his shirt and pants.
With a sigh, Zhao Tian sat beside Ning Xue on the couch and began to explain things.
Ning Xue nodded with a smile "Ok, then come back quicker."
...
*swoosh* Zhao Tian dashed through the air at full speed. And even for him, it will take an hour to reach back to his city.
When he returned, it was already close to night and he saw Li Jie's car parked outside Mei Xiu's apartment.
With hurried footsteps, he opened the apartment's door and entered in. As he stepped in, he saw Mei Xiu sitting on the couch with a teary face and Li Ji sitting on the opposite couch.
Hearing the door being opened, Mei Xiu quickly turned her gaze and seeing Zhao Tian, her eyes quivered in emotion.
"Tiannn." She quickly stood up and hurried near him. Hugging him tightly, she buried her face on his chest, her once controlled tears again bursting out from her eyes like a dam.
Feeling her trembling hands desperately clinging on him, Zhao Tian hugged her back and sighed in his heart.
Li Jie stood up from his seat and thought of leaving knowing that they should be left alone and Zhao Tian is the only one ho can console Mei Xiu now.
Before leaving he patted Zhao Tian's shoulder and Zhao Tian nodded back.
"Tiannn... *weep*" Tears streamed down Mei Xiu's face as Zhao Tian tenderly placed a comforting hand on her head, as he knew how important her grandmother is to Mei Xiu as she is her only family and she was working hard to treat her.
Zhao Tian moved and sat on the couch. Seeing this, Mei Xiu also sat on his lap side ways hugging him very tightly.
Mei Xiu continued crying, tears dampening down her cheeks as they wet Zhao Tian's shirt but he just continued patting her head, providing comfort and solace in his presence.
A little later, she raised her head from his shoulder "Tian... grandma, she is gone." She muttered, looking at his blue eyes.
Zhao Tian sighed in his heart, seeing her face red and her hair sticking to the tears in her face as she looked devastated.
He gently raised his arm and brushed the wet hair out of her face "I know, Xiu... it must hurt you a lot."
"I may sound rude... but crying won't bring back Grandma. You could only accept her death."
He gently wiped away the tears with his hand "And I am sure Grandma won't like you crying because of her."
Mei Xiu nodded her head "Y-Yeah, I won't cry... Grandma won't like that." She whispered, gently wiping away the tears that had gathered on her cheeks.
As she spoke, she tried to force a smile, but the memories of her grandmother flooded her mind, causing her lips to quiver uncontrollably, and Zhao Tian gently pulled her head placing it on his shoulder.
Mei Xiu closed her eyes and stayed silent, relishing his presence and the warmth emanating from his body.
A little later, she opened her eyes and glanced down at his shirt, drenched with her tears. "Tian, your shirt..."
"Don't worry about that. How do you feel?"
Mei Xiu gave a subtle nod, still on his shoulders, and spoke "I am good."
"Did you eat anything?"
