Chapter 349 - Why Are You Running Away?
These days Chen Lihua has been serious with her training and at last, she managed to complete her shooting training plus taekwondo beginner\'s class.
She has been feeling too exhausted these days, so Liu Longwei let her pause her taekwando classes for the mean time. It wasn\'t easy shuffling from the hospital to the shooting ground, and then the taekwondo classes, plus the games she has been learning how to play.
Chen Lihua promised to learn how to throw darts, play the pool, play bowling and some other games she didn\'t was interested in learning.
"You look tired and haggard these days, you need to take a long rest." Liu Longwei advised Chen Lihua as they engaged in their morning run exercise.
"I\'m fine. The training made me discover how weak I was, and now I am set to make things right." Chen Lihua said in disagreement.
"I didn\'t tell you to quit with the training, I am only telling you to pause it and take a break. I don\'t want you looking like I am not taking care of you, an instead abusing you." Liu Longwei insisted.
"Alright, I will listen to you, but I will only rest for a few days." Chen Lihua said in a smile.
Liu Longwei returned a smile and continued running with her as their car followed behind them.
Not too long, Chen Lihua suddenly slowed down, and then she came to a stop. With a hand on her head and the other stretched out, she called out to Liu Longwei. "Darling....."
Liu Longwei stopped running and turned to look at her. And when he saw not looking too well and with a hand on her head, he immediately rushed towards her to take her outstretched hand.
"Sweetheart what\'s wrong?." Liu Longwei asked while supporting her, as he lead her back to the car. Meanwhile, a bodyguard came out from the front passenger seat to open the backdoor for them.
"I just suddenly felt dizzy, help me to take a sit, and pass me the bottle of water." Chen Lihua requested.
Liu Longwei helped her to sit in the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, before uncapping a bottle of water and passing it to her.
Chen Lihua took the bottle from him and drank half of the water content before returning it to him. Liu Longwei capped the bottle and put it inside the car as he asked her worriedly.
"How are you feeling now, do you still feel dizzy?."
"Thank you, I am much better now." Chen Lihua replied as she relaxed her back on the car seat with a small towel that Liu Longwei passed to her in her hand. She wiped her sweat with the towel.
"You need proper rest. The training really took a toll on you." Liu Longwei said.
"Yeah it sure did." Chen Lihua said in agreement this time around.
"Do you want to take a day off from the hospital today?." Liu Longwei asked with his hand resting on the car door.
"I don\'t think so, since I only have to be in the hospital for four hours today, starting from 10:00 AM. So I have enough time to rest at home and watch my body". Chen Lihua replied after much consideration
"Not bad, Let\'s go home, so you can have your breakfast and start taking a rest." Liu Longwei said, closing the car door.
He got into the car from the other side. He helped Chen Lihua to fasten her seat belt before fastening his.
"Turn up the heater." Liu Longwei said to the driver before they drove off.
Back home, Chen Lihua had a sumptuous breakfast instead of the usual light breakfast she normally requested for.
"I must say that I\'m quite surprised that you cleared the plate which is unlike you." Liu Longwei said in surprise and took a sip of coffee from the mug on the table.
"I don\'t know why, but I kind of felt like I didn\'t eat at night. Secondly, I like oats a lot with enough sugar and milk." Chen Lihua replied happily.
"Since you like it this much, then you should have it more often." Liu Longwei suggested.
"I will." Chen Lihua replied, as she used the table napkin to wipe her mouth before drinking some water.
"So, what are your plans for today?." Chen Lihua asked with raised brows, there was a silly smile on her face.
"I will leave for work at the same time as you. I have a meeting with my managers and Board of Directors. Thereafter, I have a video conference in the evening, but that will be when I come home. Do you need me for anything?." He asked.
"Not really, I just felt like spending time with you in a warm and cozy bedroom. But there is no problem since you will be occupied throughout today." Chen Lihua said her mind without hiding her thoughts.
Liu Longwei stared at her with narrowed eyes and a playful smile on his face. Chen Lihua felt disturbed with that look, so she asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?."
"It\'s rare for you to open up to me about your feelings. So for you, I will push back the video conference, I will move it forward to tomorrow\'s afternoon." Liu Longwei revealed with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Thank you." Chen Lihua replied embarrassingly as she stood up to leave the dining with immediate effect.
"Are you running away because you are shy?." Liu Longwei called out to her before standing up to follow her.
"Who said anything about being shy?." Chen Lihua asked back without stopping in her steps.
"If you are not shy, then why are you running away?." Liu Longwei teased.
Chen Lihua stopped in her steps and turned to say to him with a shy smile on her face that was barely noticeable. "What is wrong with you, can you take a minute off from embarrassing me?. I am not running away, I am going to rinse my mouth, and then lie on the bed to take a rest as you suggested earlier, do you have any problem with that?."
"No Ma, you can go." Liu Longwei replied with a smirk on his face that meant that he didn\'t believe a word she said.
Chen Lihua understood that very well, and that was she rolled her eyes at him before walking away in a hurry.
