Inside room no:352

Pressing her back against the door, Ziying sighed, "Not gonna lie, they are really very clingy." Looking through the peephole, she frowned, "Are they still out—aaahhh." She yelped in shock when Chen suddenly pulled her towards him. ​​

"Do you realize what you did just now?" Pulling her closer, he smiled, "You just pulled me inside your room. Should I take it as an invitation?"

Scrunching her brows, she snapped, "What are you talking about? I am just saving your ass in front if your ex who by the way looks very—"

"Very what?"

"Bitchy," she chuckled before pushing him away. "I don't know about you but I feel like she is a little bit too interested in your dating life which is very common amongst the exes who cheat on their partners."

"What does that even mean?" Chen inquired.

Sitting on the couch, she started explaining her theory. "Now the thing is usually when, especially a woman cheats on the man, she doesn't really want him to move on and thinks that he still likes her. So today if you had told her you are still single, she would think you still like her and cannot move on because you have feelings for her."

Sitting beside her, he curiously inquired, "Okay so what now? I mean, now she knows that I have a fiancee, right?" When she nodded her head, he added, "so what happened now?"

"Now she knows you are not interested in her anymore and you have moved on."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Chen chuckled, "That makes sense. Thank you so much for saving my ass queen Ziying, I shall be forever grateful to you."

Patting his head, she smiled, "It's okay, you can treat me ice cream later when we return back."

"Why just ice cream, I shall treat you to dinner when we go back."

"Ahh Mr Chen is so kind," she beamed.

"So now, what do we do?" he inquired.

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "I guess you can sleep on the couch and I'll sleep on the bed. I mean, we can't obviously go to your room because I have a feeling that your weird ex is definitely spying on us tonight."

"Okay then—but wait, what should I wear?"

"Well, I have an oversized boyish t-shirt and boxers if you are interested."

"Seriously? You want me to wear your clothes?" Flexing his biceps, he raised his brows. "How do you think will this manly arms and thighs fit in your tiny woman clothes?"

Rolling her eyes, she got up and made her way towards her suitcase. "FYI my home clothes are very baggy and more on the comfy side so I guess you manly arms will fit in easily."

Taking out a plain grey colour t-shirt from her bag, she gave it to him. "I am sure this is gonna be okay."

Looking at the t-shirt, he chuckled, "You gotta be kidding me, I have the same t-shirt." Looking at the tag, he added, "And from the same brand. Wait a minute, you shop from the men section."

"Sometimes." giving him the boxers, she added, "I feel like men's clothes are much more comfortable."

"Ahh so you fall under the 'Steal your boyfriend's hoodie' category," he chuckled. Without waiting for her reply, he added, "I won't mind if you steal all my clothes."

"Stop with those outdated pickup lines, they sound so cheap," she commented before walking towards the washroom.

"Hey Zi, can I upload the picture we took in the reunion?" he asked.

"The one where you have your hands wrapped around my waist?" When he nodded his head, she raised her brows, "No."

"Why not? You look beautiful in that picture."

Thinking for a while, she answered, "Okay but show me the caption before updating."

Without saying anything, he uploaded the picture in his social media accounts with a read '♥' as a caption.

…..

Around midnight.

Tossing and turning in the bed, Ziying sighed and sat up straight. Looking at the couch where Chen was sleeping peacefully, she thought for a while before calling him out. "Chen, are you asleep?"

"No I am not." Opening his eyes, he sat up straight. "Are you asleep?"

Rolling her eyes at him, she scoffed, "No I am asleep and this is just me sleep talking."

"That was a very lame joke."

"And that was a very lame question."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he inquired, "Why aren't you feeling sleepy?"

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "I don't know, I was tired when we were coming back from the party but now—maybe it's because I took a shower."

"Or maybe it's because I am here in this room with you."

"Ahh yes, I think it's because you stink," she remarked.

Scrunching his brows, he sniffed the t-shirt he was wearing. "Hey, I don't stink, in fact this t-shirt smells like you."

Supporting her head with her elbow, she smiled, "I was just joking, I don't know why I am not feeling sleepy."

"Hmm me too." Glancing at the watch, he added, "It's still early, why don't we talk."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about you, like you know about my ex now tell me about yours," he curiously inquired.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she answered, "Well, it's nothing so interesting."

"Come on, tell me everything even if it's not interesting."

Contemplating for a while, she answered, "I met someone in my high school final year, his name was Jack Bilards."

Raising his brows, he inquired, "Jack Bilards of Hiachen Group?" When she nodded her head, he frowned, "Didn't he get engaged last month?"

"Yes he did." Sticking four fingers out, she chuckled, "We dated for four years but later things didn't work out so we decided to break up."

"And what exactly didn't work out?"

"Well what can I say? He wanted to get married immediately or atleast get engaged but I wanted to make my career first. I asked him to give me a year or two but he said he can't and started pressuring me to marry him. When constantly kept rejecting him, he accused me of cheating. Later he apologized but I left him. I just didn't want to be with a man who didn't support and understand how important my career is to me."

Pausing for a while, she further explained, "I don't have a brother or any other man in our house apart from my dad. My elder chose the different path and decided to nothing, I was the only one left whom my father could rely on. So I have always tried hard to meet his expectations."

Placing his hand on hers, he smiled, "You are a very strong woman whom everyones admires. In fact, women like you and Ning have an extra charm which is very special. I mean, look at Yichan, why do you think he is so extra head over heels for my sister?"

"Stop sweet talking me," she chuckled.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he hesitantly inquired, "So do you still have feelings for him?"

"Nope not anymore, I mean he has moved and I have moved on too. I just don't like sticking to the past, it will just ruin my present."

"Hmm I also follow the same thing, I have always believed that there are greater and bigger things waiting for us in the future." Looking at her, he smiled, "Life is very unpredictable."

Looking at him, she nodded her head. "It is."

Inching closer, he gently caressed her cheeks before placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

Without saying anything, she inched closer and placed her head on his chest.

Wrapping his arms around her, Chen smiled and took a deep breath before closing his eyes. Snuggling in each other's embrace, both of them fell asleep in each other's arm not caring about anything else.

…..

Next morning.

Showing him a ring, Ziying asked, "Does this ring look like an engagement ring?"

"The diamond is big, I guess it's fine. But why are you asking that?" Chen inquired.

"Well, you ex will surely ask about the ring if she sees my empty finger." Without waiting for his reply, she added, "Dad gave me as a gift last month."

Taking the ring from his hand, he examined it, "Well, it's very nice." Grabbing her hand, he slipped it inside her finger. "Ahh and it fits you too."

"Obviously it will fit me, my dad gifted it to me." Looking at the suitcase which was lying on the floor, she frowned, "Whose bag is this?"

"I asked a staff member to bring all my things here secretly, we are checking out anyway but I need to change my clothes as well," he answered.

"Alright, you should take a shower first. Meanwhile, I'll just pack my clothes." Looking at his messy suitcase, she sighed, "And maybe yours too."

"Thanks, I'll definitely treat you a sumptuous meal when we go back," he remarked before walking towards the washroom.
