———-

The dark night turns to day as the sun rises into the sky to welcome the people in Imperial a good morning. Soundly asleep in her king sized bed, Yue Ling’s brows knit together before she wakes up. Unlike her usual morning, she did not stretch, but sat up.

Her beautiful face was one of downhearted as her bluish green eyes stare straight ahead into nothing. Unknowingly to her, a bead of tear slowly slid it’s way down from her eyes.

"Woof....."

Inu looks worriedly at his mommy. He had heard her cry while sleeping. The way she looked was like one who was trapped in a very sad dream.

Yue Ling breaks from her trance and slowly turn her head. Seeing her favorite Samoyed, her lip curl into a faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

"I’m alright...."

Lifting her hand, she gently wipes away her tears. Then she rubs Inu’s soft and fluffy head. Even she did not know why she cried, especially in her sleep.

Looking around the bed, she sees that Lu Tian had already woken up. She moves to comforter and walks to the bathroom.

*shaaaaaaah*

The bathroom door closes and soon after came the water shower. Inu laid on the bed and waits for his mommy.

*shaaaaaah*

However, 30 minutes pass by and soon it came close to an hour. Lifting his head, he looks at the tightly shut door. His mommy doesn’t usually take long showers in the morning. Quickly, he jumps down from the bed and runs out of the room. As he enters the kitchen, he sees his greatest enemy calmly preparing breakfast. Going to the man’s side, he opens his mouth.

"*chomp* Grrrr..."

Feeling his loungepants being tug, Lu Tian looks down at the white fluff ball. He frowns as Inu continues to tug the end of his pants as if wanting him to follow.

"What is it?"

"Wroof! Wroof!"

Knowing he has gotten the man’s attention, Inu let’s go of the pant. He runs to the entrance of the hallway and half jumps. His front paws hitting hard against the floor.

"Wroof! Grr... Wroof!"

Lu Tian looks at Inu and he arch a brow. Getting the hint, he turns back to the stove and turns it off.

"Alright, I’m following. Lead the way."

He puts the spatula down and follows Inu to the bedroom. Stepping inside, he frowns at the empty bed. When he woke up, Yue Ling was still sleeping. He didn’t even hear her get up.

"Wroof."

Turning his head, he sees Inu sit by the closed bathroom door. The faint sound of water running enters his ears. Looking at Inu, he pout his lip.

"She’s taking a shower."

"Woof!"

Inu stayed seated in his spot. His eyes glaring up at Lu Tian as if saying, ’hurry up and open the door!!’ Sighing, Lu Tian pinch the space between his brows.

"She’s only showering. Why are you making such a big deal?"

"Woof! Woof!"

"Fine. I’ll check on her."

He reach for the door knob, but before turning it, he looks down at Inu.

"This was your idea."

"Woof."

Lu Tian turns the knob, opening the bathroom door. Doing so, steam from the hot shower slowly makes it way out. He furrow his brows tightly.

Just how long was his wife in the shower?

Not waiting a second longer, he quickly strides forward. His eyes scanning for his wife. Taking big steps, he walks in the direction of the shower.

"Yue Ling!!"

He shouts as his expression turns as pale as a sheet of paper. Sitting on the floor with her head on her knees, the shower head pours itself onto Yue Ling’s naked body.

Lu Tian quickly reach down and carries her out of the shower. He didn’t care if she was drenching wet, all he knew was that when he saw her like this, it was as if his heart had stopped. Carrying her, he walks quickly out of the bathroom.

"Tian...."

Yue Ling whispers as she feels herself being carried out of the bathroom. Her head was hurting and she felt like vomiting.

Inu quickly stands up when he sees the handsome evil peasant carry his mommy out. Not following them right away, he enters the bathroom. He tugs the white towel hanging on the rack and drags it out of the bathroom.

Lu Tian didn’t place her on the bed, instead, he sat down and put her on his lap. Seeing Inu approach with the towel, he takes it and covers Yue Ling’s naked body. His eyes never leaving her at all.

"How can you be so careless? Are you hurt anywhere?"

He spoke worriedly as he lectures and dries her. Yue Ling looks at the man and she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After she woke up from her dream, she wanted to shower to get rid of any traces of her crying. As the warm water touched her, she didn’t think she’d have a migraine while showering. She had sat down to calm her pounding head and urge to vomit.

Taking a deep breath, she smiles at Lu Tian.

"I’m fine... I suddenly felt nauseous, so I wanted to rest."

Hearing this, Lu Tian felt a little relieved, however his arms quickly hugs her and his head rest on her shoulder. He couldn’t help but think of the unimaginable if Inu hadn’t come get him. Moving from her, he touch her forehead with the back of his hand. He frown in confusion. Her temperature was normal. He looks at her and his expression dimmed.

"Let’s go to the hospital, it’s the only way we will know if you’re really alright."

"Tian, we don’t need to go to the hospital. I’m not sick, silly."

Yue Ling quickly grabs the towel and wraps it around her body. She finally remembers that she’s naked. Turning from Lu Tian’s lap, she stands up and walks towards the bathroom again.

Seeing where she was heading, Lu Tian frowns as he follows after her.

Lu Tian: "Where are you going?"

Yue Ling: "Shower, I didn’t get to wash my hair."

Lu Tian: "What if you get nauseous again?"

Yue Ling: "I’ll be fine. It’s just a quick shower."

Not waiting, she enters the bathroom and close the door. She was feeling much better now, so washing her hair should be fine.

Outside the door, Lu Tian pursed his lip at the tightly closed door. Hearing the sound of water running again, he frown. He is still worried about his wife. Looking down at his still bandage right hand, he thinks of something.

His lip curl into a small smile, then as quickly as it appeared, it disappears. Turning his head to the side, he looks down at Inu.

"I need to shower too."

Not caring about the Samoyed, he opens the door quietly and sneakily enters the bathroom. To make sure he and his wife didn’t get disturbed, Lu Tian didn’t forget to quickly close the door.

"..."

Inu stare dumbfounded at what just happened. He scoffed in annoyance and turns to leave the bedroom. As much as he didn’t like the evil peasant, the man wasn’t all that bad when it came to genuine feelings for his mommy.
