BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136 Opening To Him.
"Here comes queen Victoria. She was gone to donate her blood or to have a rest." Huang Jiayi sneered.
Zhou Liying ignored her aunt and took her seat beside assistant Zhang. Mu Yuehan was silently following after her from the shadows. His eyes were fixed on her. He\'d not let her out from his sight, not after what had happened before.
"You alright? You were gone for a long time." The Assistant asked her with concern.
"I am good. I was feeling slightly dizzy after giving blood. That\'s all." She lied smoothly. "Any news about grandpa?"
"Unfortunately, no." assistant Zhang looked down and Zhou Liying sighed.
She ignored her uncle\'s family which was continuously throwing remarks at her, about her absence, calling her dirty and whatnot!
Mu Yuehan gritted his teeth in anger when he heard them.
Are they blind, can\'t they see that Liying needed some rest? They were chanting the same thing again and again like some tape recorder!
He knew Zhou Liying would need some time alone at the hospital. Besides, the Qin family was here not out of concern but to show off, to garner fake attention. So, he formed a plan in his mind to send them all away from the hospital.
"Li Tao, do work for me."
After ten minutes, Qin Yeteng received a call from her manager that tomorrow was an important shoot of hers. She needed beauty sleep before the shoot. So, she left with urgency.
Qin Yihong was the next one to receive a call from his company. There was some emergency which needed his attention.
Now only Qin Yutong and Huang Jiayi were left.
Qin Yutong left when one of the nurses informed her that it was not good for her health to stay overnight at the hospital with her condition. So, she left.
Huang Jiayi who was left behind also left. What was her use when no one from her family was here!
"Finally," Zhou Liying sighed and closed her eyes with relief. She was glad that the Qin family was gone.

"We did our best on him but I don\'t think that he will live for more than a week." The doctor informed them. "His body is old and it feels as if he does not wish to live anymore."
Zhou Liying nodded her head and took a long sigh. "Can I meet him?"
"You can. He will be conscious for some time before falling asleep due to the effect of anaesthesia."
Zhou Liying entered the room and gulped. She saw Qin Yanze lying on the bed, looking extremely weak. If not for the machines, she\'d have assumed him to be dead.
She walked toward him and took his hand in hers. Qin Yanze looked at her and opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his lips.
"I heard that you gave me blood. Thou, there was no need for it." His voice was shaky. "You should have let me go."
"How can I let you go?" Zhou Liying rebuked. "I will fight for you till your last breath. I will not let you go so easily. Call me selfish."
Qin Yanze smiled and looked at her. "I am alright now, go and have some rest. I will also rest."
He closed his eyes, and within a minute, he was asleep. Zhou Liying removed her tears and looked at his sleeping form.
She naturally ran her fingers in his hair. "I love you, grandpa. Thank you for surviving for one more day."
She spent some more time in the company of Qin Yanze. She was trying to soothe her heart, she wanted to spend some time with him, not knowing when he would be gone.
She stepped out of the room and looked at assistant Zhan. "You should go home. I will stay here."
"No, you should go. I already had my rest in the afternoon. But look at you, you look so tired and weak. You need some rest. Don\'t worry, sir is in my hands."
Zhou Liying knew there was no fighting him. Besides, she was feeling fatigued. She knew she would not be able to stay in the hospital for the whole night. So, she decided to take her leave.
**
Mu Yuehan looked at the stubborn women walking ahead of him. She was tired. She was not able to walk properly but still, she denied his help. He had offered to carry her in his arms but she denied it straightforwardly.
She was fatigued but still, she stood headstrong as if nothing had happened in the last five hours. She had just returned from the hospital but there was no line of worry on her face. It was like she was returning from her office after working overtime.
"Zhou Liying." Mu Yuehan yelled when she waved due to fatigue.
He was behind her in a second and was carrying her in his arms, in bridal style.
"I can walk." Zhou Liying tried to protest.
"And I can see that." Mu Yuehan mocked. "Don\'t forget, you were drugged. You may have taken some antidotes but the drug is still in your system. Your body is fragile and you are in a dire need of rest."
Zhou Liying sighed when she heard his authoritative voice. Much against her conscience, she leaned on his chest.
"Why are you like this? I had so many guards in past, I still have so many shadow guards, I am sure no one of them is like you. So, caring toward me." Her voice was soft, at that moment, she looked like a lost girl.
"That\'s because shadow guards don\'t have a heart. When they are given training, they are taught to spend their lives without showing any emotion. They don\'t work with hearts but with their minds. They work only when they receive orders." Mu Yuehan spoke from his own experience.
"Can I have a candid talk with you?" Zhou Liying asked and looked at him. "The one where you are no longer my employee and I no longer your boss?"
Mu Yuehan cheered in his heart when he heard her.
Was she opening up to him? Was she going to share the secrets of her heart with him? Was she going to treat him as her friend?
"Sure, but first tell me, where should I take you, penthouse or some nearby hotel?"
