Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 170

"Yes." He told the driver to go back to Imperial Villa.

She was slightly surprised. "Aren't you going to the company?"

"Not now. I'll rest for another two days."

"How about your work?" He had been in the hospital for more than a week. For the first three days,

Zhang Bikun did not come. But after that, he had visited him every day and usually stayed for the whole

morning to report the work.

"Don't worry. I can arrange remote meetings at home. It won't be affected." He had rarely taken a leave,

and he was in a relaxed mood after having just reconciled with Shu Tian, acknowledging the existence

of Jiang Chujing. The only thing on his mind was to be with her to compensate for neglecting her

previously.

He fixed a burning gaze on her face, which she could endure for only seconds. Then she became

uneasy, touching her face. "Is there something on my face?"

Amused by her reaction, he put her onto his thigh and pressed his warm lips against her ears. A wicked

grin crawled up the corner of his lips. "I'm thinking why you are so eager to get rid of me."

His breath tickled her. She tilted her head aside. "It's a concern about your business. How could you

blame me for that?"

He pinched the soft area around her waist and made her scream. Therefore, he lifted the soundproof

panel to stop the sound from transmitting to the main driver's seat. "Say why you are so concerned."

This position...

She knew exactly what was on his mind and intended to return to her seat with no reply. As he moved

a little bit, he wrapped her shoulder. "I warn you, don't move. Or you'll be responsible for whatever

happens."

Why should she be responsible?

Her eyes told him that she was frightened and extremely nervous, and he didn't mean to intensify it.

"Stay in my arms for a while. I won't do anything else."

He picked up her little hand in his palm and pecked it with his lips lightly.

His movements made her heart pound rapidly. The skin he had kissed seemed to be burning, and she

felt weak and fell on his arm.

The car drove steadily, and he did do nothing else to her.

Today Shu Tian had tied up her hair, a slightly loose bun hanging on the back of her head. A few

strands of hair near her ears fell causally on her neck. Her face was the size of a palm and looked so

charming. He was spellbound.

He had met all types of women, stunning, sharp, cold, and gentle, but none of them had struck him.

She was beautiful, bathing him in the spring breeze. She was unique, impressing him at his first sight.

In particular, her bright eyes were full of life, prompting his dormant heart to beat again.

"You look gorgeous." He chuckled and pinned the hair around her ear.

The sudden praise made her blush, and she did not dare to look at him in the eyes. "Why did you

suddenly praise me?"

He did not expect to be asked this in this sweet atmosphere. He thought it was because he had rarely

talked in this way.

"Tiantian, thank you." He was thanking her for taking so care of him in the hospital, as well as for

forgiving his past.

She was embarrassed to face his outspokenness, thus hiding covering half of her face in his chest.

"Thank you for your patience. No matter what happens, we'll be honest with each other, okay?"

"No problem." He pressed her against his chest to make her hear his quickening heartbeat. "Trust me

and never doubt my love. My heart only pounds for you."

He was desperate to have her know how much he loved her after a narrow escape of breakup.

She wagged her head. "Sure, I know it."

Love was absolutely not a thing maintained by one side. He loved her. She strongly felt it. Or else what

could have made a person like him give so much except love?

She knew it all.

Li Han gave her a meaningful look. "There's one thing you don't know."

"What is it?"

"Secret."

She was stunned and raised her head to see a mysterious face. She muttered with her girlish

arrogance, "As you like."

However, she was terribly curious about the matter under the pretense, and she intuitively felt that it

had something to do with her. After all, he had no experience in love and was not skilled in concealing

his emotions.

But what could it be?

She stopped questioning him but kept wondering about it in her mind.

[...]

It was almost dinner time when they arrived at the Imperial Villa. Meals at the hospital had been quite

simple, and Shu Tian had taken whatever had been available.

The thought of cooking annoyed her much, but the aroma of dishes surprised her nose as she opened

the door.

She looked down into the room, a tinkling sound originating in the kitchen.

Her heart went to her throat instantly, and she turned to look at Li Han behind her. "There is someone

at home!"

The news didn't disturb him at all. "Just go and take a look."

Her nerve steadied. She found four dishes and a soup on the table on her way to the kitchen. They

were fried parsley and shrimp, braised cabbage, steamed beef breast, stewed cordyceps flower and

chicken, and a crucian carp and tofu soup. Not only did they look delicious, but also the smell that

floated into her nose tempted her.

She entered the kitchen with amazement, and a short female figure came into her eyes, who wore an

apron in front of the stove. She was plump and had a face full of soft features. Shu Tian found some

silver hair on her black head.

The woman paused for a moment seeing her presence, but she quickly greeted her with a smile. "Are

you Miss Shu?"

Shu Tian was still in her amazement and replied, "Yes, I am. How about you?"

"Mr. Li hasn't told you yet?" The woman hastened to wipe off the water on her hand by the apron. "I'm

the new servant. My name is Li Lanfang. I'm 55 years old."

A servant?

Hadn't he said he would not have liked extra people at home? Why did he hire a servant?

She shook her hand politely. It felt a little rough, probably due to years of work. Then she smiled and

said, "Nice to meet you, Nanny Li. Hope it is not hard work to take care of the home."

She was moved by her politeness after she had worked for many rich families. No hostess had ever NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

given her so much respect. Before she came here, the manager of the service center had warned her

to be cautious because the employer was a big shot. She didn't expect the hostess to be so modest

and approachable.

She answered with the same politeness, "It's my duty. Miss Shu, please wait outside. The kitchen was

full of oily smoke. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Okay."

Out of the kitchen, Shu Tian went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor. No one was in

the room, but the door of the cloakroom opened. She was in such a hurry that she didn't knock on the

door, only to see Li Han take off his shirt and his naked upper body.
