Chapter 387 Brother-in-law
Time passed and Hinari and Zaki remained silent. Hinari continuously rubbed the man’s hair gently. Her mind was churning as she stared at him. She was trying to figure out what made this man become like this all of a sudden.
He was just fine a while ago before he went to the shower, so what happened? Did something happen when she dozed off?
Hinari was itching to know what exactly was going on but by the time Hinari finally gathered the resolve to ask him, the man suddenly went limp, indicating that he had fallen asleep.
His hands slowly fell and Hinari could only press her lips tight, speechless.
Never mind, I’ll definitely ask him when he wakes up!
Giving up on her plan, Hinari then helped the man and she slowly laid him on the bed. She looked at his beautiful face. Staring at him, she almost couldn’t resist the urge to steal a kiss from him. He was indeed her sleeping beauty, only difference was that, even if she kissed him, he still wouldn’t open his eyes.
Looking at his face, Hinari raised her hand and her finger slowly and carefully landed onto his long and straight eyelashes. He was just so beautiful that Hinari felt like she was falling in love with his beauty all over again. Sigh... this guy... how could a human looks like this? You’re way too beautiful for your own good! What the hell’s with these super thick eyelashes of yours?!
Hinari wondered if she could pluck his eyelashes and then glue them on hers so that she then had beautiful straight eyelashes too and then a soft giggle came out as she laughed at her silly idea.
Hinari was out of words to describe how good looking Zaki was that she ended up complaining instead.
However, the longer she watched his peaceful sleeping face, Hinari’s eyes eventually fell towards his lips. Damn! How seductive! Dear self, be good. Don’t even think about taking advantage of a man who’s currently sick!
Feeling seduced by the defenseless sleeping beauty, Hinari was about to steal a kiss when the vision on him tugging his hair hard a while ago crossed her mind. Because of that, Hinari’s mood immediately changed and she decided to step out of the room, to at least tell Mrs. Chen. She wouldn’t feel alright unless someone confirmed that he was fine.
Hinari then climbed out of the bed and she was about to open the door when she halted. She looked back at the sleeping beauty and the next moment, she walked again towards the bed. She then bent and kissed the man’s forehead, like a loving husband kissing his wife to sleep, before she left.
...
When Hinari reached the living room, she was surprised with the sudden commotion. She hastily walked towards the entrance door and she was surprised to see the mighty Sei standing there as a black car where Davi entered, left.
Somehow, Hinari could feel the chilling atmosphere and she couldn’t help but think something was wrong just by seeing the ice block standing there, looking towards the disappearing car.
Wait... didn’t he just go to fetch her? Why was she leaving again? D-did something happen? Oh gosh, don’t tell me they couldn’t settle their problem and that was why Davi was leaving!
Hinari gasped, because she thought that Davi was mad and that was why she left so hastily. She knew that if what she thought was true, this would surely bring a storm to the Chen family. What was even worse was that this mighty ice king might even go berserk. Oh gosh! Davi dear! Please come back!
Looking at the depressed ice statue standing there, unmoving, Hinari bit her lip and she was about to sneak away for fear that this mighty Sei might catch her peeking and vent his frustration on her by feeding her to the crocodiles, when suddenly, the man’s cold voice reached her ears.
"Wait." He said and like a startled robot, Hinari, slowly turned to face towards him.
"Y-yes. D-did Davi leave because of an important matter?" Hinari simply spouted whatever that came to her mind because of fear.
"Mm. She said there’s something very important she needed to attend to." Sei replied and somehow, hearing that she didn’t left for a negative reason made Hinari feel like a huge weight on her shoulder disappeared. Whew! Thank goodness I was wrong...!
"Ohh... I see." Hinari could only reply, afraid to spout more words for fear that she might say something that she might regret. Well, she thought that she must be extra careful before this terrifying man or else she would end up being the next meal for the crocodiles.
Hinari was about to excuse herself quickly when Sei suddenly spoke again.
"How’s Zaki?" he asked and Hinari blinked. She looked at him with questioning eyes but when she remembered him asking her to not let Zaki leave last night, Hinari could only think that he might be asking if Zaki behaved when he left.
"H-he’s good, he is sleeping." She replied and Sei nodded.
He then moved his feet and was about to walk away when Hinari stopped him.
"Uhm... but... I think he’s acting strange. When I woke up, I saw him tugging his hair really hard. I think there’s something wrong with him." Hinari finally blurted out her concern despite her fear, and Sei who was already a few steps away from her halted.
"I think his head hurt or he was still sick? I think he needs a doctor to see him after all." She continued and Sei just stood there with his back towards Hinari.
He was silent for a long while that Hinari was starting to get very nervous due to his lack of response. Gladly, after another moment, he finally turned to her and he spoke.
"I’ll call the family’s doctor to come check on him." Sei then said and Hinari’s face immediately brightened.
"Thank you so much Mighty--- uh, I mean, Mr. C-chen !" she exclaimed as she smiled when...
"From now on, call me big brother-in-law." Sei said as he turned his back and walked silently. Leaving Hinari dumbfounded. W-w-w-w-what did I just hear?!!
