Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1497  Waiting To See her Face

Ming Lan looked utterly shocked as she moved her gaze from her mobile on the floor and then towards the man who had just stepped out of the bathroom while drying his damp hair with the small white towel.

He looked at the shocked looking woman in front of her with a questioning gaze as he didn't know what happened and then looked at the mobile which was on the floor, a few feet away from both of them.

He walked forward to get the mobile but before that Ming Lan acted at a speed of bullet train and kneeled on the floor with her hand covering the mobile screen while Wen Zac reached there as well.

She awkwardly raised her head to look up at him and offered him a forced smile, "I-I got it." She already pressed the side power button on the mobile to turn off the screen.

"Let me check if it's broken?" he offered as he had clearly heard quite a loud sound of mobile dropping while stepping out of the bathroom.

"Ah, N-No. It's a good brand..and…mobiles for this brand are sturdy. Rest assured," she said and picked up the mobile.

He offered her his hand and she accepted without a delay to get up from the floor.

"Are you sure you don't need to check your mobile? We can get a new one," he offered again.

"I am sure. I had dropped it so many times and it also has protection cover, so nothing happened," she said and immediately put that mobile on the centre table and changed the topic to divert his attention from her mobile.

"I will get a night dress for you," she walked towards the wardrobe.

Wen Zac nodded as he went to the mirror while Ming Lan pulled out the night dress for him which she put on the bed and went to sit on the couch. Her gaze was on her phone which she had kept on the center table in front of her but she didn't dare touch it when Wen Zac was around. She knew the moment she would unlock the screen, that erotic video would be the first thing she would see on her mobile screen.

'I will delete it once he is not around or he falls asleep.'

She saw Wen zac putting on his pajamas after taking off his bathrobe and moved her gaze away but she glanced at him once in a while, acting as if she was not aware of what he was doing.

When he was standing in front of the mirror, drying his hair, unknown to her she started to look at the handsome man in front of her. She remembered the talk Wen Zac had with her brother and Lu Lian about how bold life he was living when he was in the states.

'Night clubs? Striptese? I wonder what kind of woman…maybe women… he had been with?' her gaze followed his lips, 'Uhm.. did he kiss them the way he kissed me?' A tinge of jealousy rose in her mind as she thought of him kissing some other women. She observed the back view of his standing form, clad in night pajamas, 'Did they hold him or he held them closely like he did with me. Did he like to be with them so much? Were those women so special to get his attention and get into his bed? Did he enjoy doing it with them….wait…my thoughts are taking a worse turn. I need to stop.'

Just then Wen Zac finished and turned around as it was time to get into bed. Ming Lan immediately averted her gaze from him even before he could look at her.

"It's late," she heard him.

Ming Lan looked back at him and nodded, trying to figure out what he wished to say or what he wanted that night.

"Get in the bed," he said as he himself got in the bed. contemporary romance

She blinked a few times. 'Just like that? Is he planning for it tonight?' She stood up from the couch with much effort and walked towards the bed as she looked at the man who was sitting in bed, waiting for her to get there.

Her heart, picking up the pace, her senses turning alive than ever, she got into the bed and heard him. "It's late. Sleep well."

"Huh?" she looked at him to know what he meant and he looked back at her, "It's getting cold these days so make sure to cover yourself well."

She nodded and lay down on her side of the bed while Wen Zac covered her with the blanket and got in as well after turning off the light and keeping only the night lamp on.

She stared at the ceiling, 'That's it. I thought he….' she gulped, 'It's better this way. But I can not sleep like this.'

"Good night!" she said and turned to her side, facing her back to him.

She didn't hear him wish her back and she thought he must be sleepy to do so. A time passed by quietly in that silent room where her own heartbeats were clearly audible to her in that silence. There was no movement from the other side of the bed for long.

'Is he asleep? Seems like it. He looked really tired,' she concluded.

She decided to turn around and check on him even though he was asleep already. She turned around slowly, making light movement so she would not disturb him, only to meet with a gaze which was already staring at her.

She was taken aback as the pair of sleepy and tired looking eyes were staring at her silently.

"You didn't sleep?" she asked hesitantly.

"I was waiting to see your face before I close my eyes," he replied calmly, in a sleepy voice.

She could see his eyes were really tired and he looked sleepy to hold it back anymore but he was….she had no word to say. His words touched her heart but it pained her to see she kept him awake like this.

She felt like apologizing, "I…."

"Good night, Lanlan," he said and closed his eyes.

Ming Lan simply looked at him and said no more words, worrying to disturb his sleep. She observed his calm but tired looking face and could not help but move closer to him and then move her hand towards his head to caress it. She wished to comfort him and make him feel better so he could sleep nicely.

A light smile painted on his lips for a brief moment as if he sensed what she was doing and drifted to calm sleep. He had not slept for past two nights straight and could finally have some moments of peaceful sleep.

Ming Lan continued to caress his head, till she herself fell asleep.
