The Fallen Consort

When Yi Ling opened her eyes, she was more relaxed. Her body felt light, as well as her head and heart. As she finished checking her body, she then noticed that there was a person laying beside her.

Though Muxin is only a part of his own soul and memories, He still needs to rest. Especially that he had been constantly worrying about his wife for the last 5 months of separation.

Muxin's white hair, white eyelashes and pale skin makes him look like from some sort of fantasy. His eyes were close and his face was only a breath away from her forehead. Yi Ling didn't know when did Muxin laid down beside her nor when did she lay on his ċhėst.

At that moment, her heart beat was racing. Yi Ling felt that this scenario was normal for them, that's why she didn't panicked. Instead she studied his face, his breathing and his heart beat. She didn't know how long she was studying this perfect specimen in front of her, only that she felt extremely comfortable and happy.

"Am I that handsome?." Muxin murmured, slowly opening his eyes.

Yi Ling pursed her lips together, as her cheeks became hot. She turn her head down, trying to act nonchalant for getting caught. Muxin chuckled, as he lifted her chin back to him.

"Ling'er.. you didn't answered me yesterday.." He pouted his lips and batted his eyes to her. He was acting like a poor husband, who had been neglected by his own wife.

Yi Ling's ċhėst felt tight, like her heart was going to jump out. His blue eyes was too mesmerizing. "Answer what?". She somehow couldn't remember which part he was talking about. They had talked a bunch of things yesterday.

Hearing what she just said, his eyes became dark for second. With a quick move, he was laid on top of her. Their face was only a couple of inches away.

"Did you really forget? or are you just playing with me?" Muxin stared at Yi Ling, there was a glint of dissatisfaction on his blue eyes.

Yi Ling swallowed her saliva. He is too close! she thought. She could feel Muxin's breath on her face and his heart beat following hers. "I must've been too tired. I'm sorry. Can you ask me again?" She made an excuse. Yi Ling really couldn't remember. Which part was he asking about?! Why is he asking like this?

Muxin sighed. It took him a huge courage, just to confess to her yesterday. It seems like his wife wasn't even paying attention to him.

"Ling'er. Will you allow me to become your husband again? I meant what I said, I love you and will always love you. You're the only woman that I love. No matter what happens, I am yours and yours alone." Muxin stared at her brown eyes, making sure she heard and understands him this time.

Yi Ling's heart skipped a beat. She remembered now. She thought that she answered him yesterday and that her actions for letting him stay beside her was obvious enough, apparently not.

"Xin'er, I..." but before she could even finished what she was trying to say, a loud voice was yelling outside.

"Mother! Father! I know you're awake! Let me in!" Minzhe yelled on top of his lungs. He was sporting his young version, so he sounded innocent.

Hearing their son yelling outside, Yi Ling's face turned red. She instantly covered her face, not daring to look at Muxin.

Muxin's face turned unsightly, as he stared at the door. He snickered as he got up, opened the door. "You brat! Can you be more louder?! Your mother is resting! Why are you shouting anyways?!"

"You have been keeping mother away for almost 3 days now!" Minzhe pouted. He tried getting in but was blocked by Muxin. "Let me see mother! Mother! Father won't let me in!"

Muxin's eyes turned darker at the sight of this spoiled son of his. He just had to spoil the moment!? His Ling'er was about to tell him something! Damn this kid! He cursed.

"Xin'er, Let Zhe'er come in." Yi Ling murmured from inside the room.

Hearing his mother's voice, Minzhe stick his tongue out to his father and forced himself in. Muxin's clenched his fist. That brat needs discipline! It had only been 5 months and he isn't afraid of me anymore?! He sneered as he closed the door.
