Chapter 9

Xiao Zhan's P. O.V

...

The weather is kinda weird here nowadays. winter is already here but the rain has been coming on and off for a couple of days now.

The wind is freezing cold.

I stayed in my apartment for whole morning.

As much as I want to see yibo I don't want to face him now.

But since I left my phone I need to head back to mansion soon.

I waited for night to come before going to mansion so that I don't have to face him. .....____________

It was around 10 at night. When I reached mansion. I was making sure not to face yibo.

The front Door was ajar, so I get in. the house was dark. Only light coming from was kitchen's light.

Not even a single maids and servants were around.

It felt weird. I looked around kinda scared.

Walked through the hallway.

Suddenly felt the presence of someone else at the swimming pool.

I really was scared. Anything could happen in such a big mansion when no one is around.

Thankfully it was just yibo.

Sitting there alone.

I slowly went near him.

There was a small glass table beside him with a huge cake sitting on it.

What's going on here?

"Xiao Zhan" he said without looking at my direction like he's been waiting for me.

"What's going on why are you alone here ? Where are the maids?" I asked.

"What's the point of keeping them when there's not going to be anyone in the mansion." He blurted out. He sounds mad for some reason.

"Yibo-I... I just went to my apartment-"

What am I even trying to explain? There's nothing to explain.

" You seems mad for some reason. Wanna talk about it?" I asked instead.

He only shake his head 'no'

"Then what's with the cak- ... wait is it your birthday?" I asked suddenly feeling bad.

He stayed silent for a while before saying.

" I send the maids home for the night. For the first time I wanted to celebrate my birthday with someone else. I figured you wanted to be left alone for some reason." He said Making me feel guilty instantly.

I sighed.

I set beside him.

"I guessed you called. I'm sorry I didn't know it's your birthday. Also I left my phone here so I didn't know if you called me or not." I explained.

He stayed silent.

" I guess I really needed time for myself. To clear my head. I'm really sorry." I added.

He still said nothing. I saw him pouting a little bit.

I guessed this tough guy also wants to be cared sometimes.

I reached out to hold his hand.At the moment I don't care what he might think about it.

"Happy birthday yibo. I know it's almost the end of the day but I'll make it up to you tomorrow." I said. " And how about this you can ask for anything you want from me and I promise to fullfill it no matter what. off course money is exception since you're the one who's like my sugar daddy." I added.

This time he chuckled a little bit before saying"I'll save it for later"

I'm having a bad feeling about it.But at least he smiled.

"So wanna go inside now it's cold here" I said.

"I love to look at the stars from here" he said looking up at the sky.

His eyes were sparkling with the reflection of water and moon.

I can't help but look at him.

I feel like I'm falling.

"Yibo.....do you have someone you love?" I asked without realizing it

"Yes." He replied still looking up. Probably without realizing it too.

Which actually is hard for me to hear.

"Was that your childhood friend?" I asked again.

This time he looked at me.

" Not her. I already told you before. But It might have been her tho, if I already doesn't have someone I love. I still remember the first time I saw that person. We ate lunch together at the park. That person was too kind" He replied back

" Don't worry tho. I am not going to confess or date that person yet, I mean I can't date them unless they want me too" he added.

I smiled half heartedly. Not knowing what else to say anymore.

There was a pain in my heart making it more obvious for myself that I really like him.

I knew it. It's not like he would love me just because he takes care of me.

Our marriage is just like a contract only.

.....************

Next day:

Just like previous night. I send the maids off before the night fall.

I decided to cook everything by myself to make it up to yibo for yesterday.

I texted him saying

' come home soon little Bobo. I'm cooking for you

~ zhan '

When everything is done I decorated dining a little bit with candles and rose petals.

"Perfect. Now all I have to do is wait for dear husband" I said to myself as I light on the last candle.

It seems like a date night but at this point I don't care.

I never even thought once that I'll do this much for a guy.

......**********

When I opened my eyes. Yibo was there in front of me.

"Had a good nap?" he asked me.

"It's your fault I fell asleep" I glared at him.

He smiled.

"Sorry had a lot of work today" he explained.

"It's alright, I'll heat everything up quickly" I said while getting up.

"Where are the maids?" He asked.

"Send them all off, because I wanted us to be alone" I replied.

'alone' I heard him whispered.

.

._____.

.___

"Cook for me everyday" he said while enjoying the food I made.

"No" I replied instantly.

"Okay." He said without even requesting for more.

"Well.... maybe I'll cook once in a while" I said back.

He smiled.

Ahh my heart.

....When we're done eating.....

."Here" I handed him a little box wrapped in gift wrapper.

.

He opened it. And smiled.

It was a small necklace with bull pendant.

I got up from my seat and went to sit next to him.

"I'll put it on you." I said before picking it up to put it on him.

.

..After putting it on him I was about to get back up when suddenly yibo grabbed my hand.

I looked at him. He looked back at me.

His stare was intense.

Why?

" Do you have any more surprise for me?" He whispered/asked.

My heart started to beat faster. I can't be so close to him anymore. I can't handle him anymore. ...."Yi- Yibo...do you wanna try dating me?" I asked unsure.

He looked at me with shocked eyes.

My God why did I even asked that?

" I- I know it doesn't make sense. Forget it" I said again feeling all the blood gathering at my face.

Yibo was still grabbing on my hand tightly. I was so embarrassed at what I just blurted out so I tried to get away from him but this time yibo pull me closer to him before kissing me hard.

I frozed there.

After a while...Yibo broke the kiss to look at me and said.

"Then I'll count it as our first date zhan ge" he smirked before sipping on another glass of wine.

Now I get it why he's being like this.

I completely forgot about his drinking habit. Damn!

His grip suddenly became tighter.

He cleared the dinning table with his right hand then pushed me on the table before kissing me again.

Surprisingly he's super strong. I tried pushing him for a while before giving in and kissing him back.

Our tongues started playing with each other in rythm.

Never thought I would like kissing a guy but here I am.

We kept on going until we both were a complete mess.

Then yibo suddenly stopped.

"Sorry Zhan ge" he said before rushing upstairs.

Leaving me there breathless...I got confused.....He suddenly got sober up or what?

Will it be more awkward to face him next day?

Will he remember?

Are we really going to date?

I mean we're already married?

...A/n : thanks for all the support and love. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. :))
