Chapter 108

Shu Tian almost drowned in bitter tears. Her heart was pounding violently with a sharp pain. She felt NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

panicking and helpless, especially when she saw the photos on the phone that were like the last straw

for her.

She had never done these things before. But nobody would believe in her explanation, except Li Han.

Therefore, Li Han hid everything from her, because he wanted to solve it by himself. However, besides

bringing endless pressure to himself, his approach didn't work at all.

The Li family would not believe her, nor would the public do.

She didn't want to make any bad impact on his family, career or reputation.

As Shu Tian was crying, a slight sound came near her.

Before wiping her tears from her cheeks, she instantly stood up and turned her back with a seized

heart.

It wasn't until the man stood behind her that he stopped his footsteps approaching. He put his hands on

her shoulder gently. A few seconds later, he increased the strength.

Shu Tian's body got extremely stiff. She raised hands to wipe her face in a hurry and tried to make her

voice sounded stead. "I'm going downstairs to make a meal for you. You may go back to the bedroom

first..."

"Shu Tian, look at me."

Maybe it was the fever that made his voice sounded hoarse. Thinking of the attitude of his family, Shu

Tian didn't know how to face him at all.

Now she was... really embarrassed.

Feeling Shu Tian's resistance, Li Han could only force her to turn around. As expected, he saw a pair of

red eyes and pale lips.

They faced each other in the quiet air for a few minutes. Every second was a great torture for Shu Tian.

After a long time, the man caressed her cheek with his big palm and wiped away her tears. His voice

was gentle. "Why crying?"

Shu Tian guessed he might not hear the conversation between she and Tang Zechen, so she shook

her head. "Nothing. Just got mixed feelings for the victory for the winning trial."

"You feel unhappy?"

"No..." Shu Tian opened her mouth, but no matter how she tried she couldn't lie about her emotion, she

wasn't "happy" at all.

Just as she was in a trance, her phone was suddenly snayched by Li Han. Although she

subconsciously grasped it tightly, it was still too late. Li Han had already held her phone in his hand.

"Return it to me!" Shu Tian tried to get the phone back.

However, he had an innate height advantage, so that she could hardly touch the phone at all.

He checked all the photos, text messages, and call records with an unusually calme expression, which

made Shu Tian's breath was coming in short bursts.

He locked the phone and handed it back to her. "You're crying for this?"

Shu Tian exhaled sloghtly and gave a reluctant and fragile smile, "I don't want to talk about this with

you. I... just feel embarrassed."

Her words were like pebbles that made ripples to cut the calmness on his face. He reached out to stop

her trembling shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why embarrassed?"

"I don't want you to be in a dilemma because of me. I don't blame anyone. It's all my fault. It is me who

chose the last marriage myself. Even if being misunderstood, I have no right to complain..." Shu Tian

shook his head and almost finished speaking in a choked voice.

Under the disguise of strength, there was that extremely sensitive and fragile heart.

She was afraid that Li Han would hurt her heart, so she surrendered first.

"So? Do you want to leave me, or stay by my side?" Li Han's eyes and mind were occupied with this

delicate woman. He asked this question in a calm voice, however, somewhere deep beneath the

calmness lay an anxious soul.

Shu Tian's felt that her heart was hung in the air, as countless thoughts flashed through and

disappeared in her mind. In the end, she threw the question back to him, "Can I stay by your side?"

Li Han felt his heart being held tightly by something, which caused the pain made him wrinkled. Her

cautious tone and her veiled expectance both broke his heart in a cruel way.

He did not answer with words. Instead, he leaned down slightly with his darkening eyes.

At this moment, words were weak. At this moment, he decided to answer with a kiss, with unusual

fervour.

Shu Tian was almost melted in the kiss, so did the armor that imprisoned her. She knew how much she

loved this man.

Did she want to stay by his side?

Absolutely... Definitely...

Li Han felt much more satisfied with the slight flush on her cheeks, "Whether you like it or not, I won't

let you go."

"But your family..."

"They don't know you. They don't know me. They don't have the right to meddle in things between you

and me."

Shu Tian knew that he had the ability to choose the life he wanted. But she didn't want Li Han to

quarrel with his family because of her.

It seemed that Li Han could read her mind, he lifted her chin and looked straight into her eyes, "Shu

Tian, trust me. I can handle everything. Just stay by my side."

Shu Tian was intensely hesitated, "Of course, I will believe you. I just can't believe myself."

"This is the biggest trouble Tang Zechen can make. You don't have to worry too much." Li Han didn't

want to tell her about this before, but when he saw that she was really flustered, he explained, "Those

photos have a limited impact. My family will understand. They just need time."

"Will they understand? Even I myself..."

"They will." Li Han stopped her question by warping her with his arms. "Because I'm here."

After that, he let go of Shu Tian and went downstairs under her puzzled gaze. When he came back, he

had a cup of hot milk in his hand. "Drink it, milk will calm you down."

Shu Tian took it. Li Han was still in his nightgown with his collar open. The heat of the skin reminded

Shu Tian of his fever.

She immediately pushed him into the room and measured his temperature with a thermometer. It was

38.20 degrees celsius. Thank God, it didn't get higher.

Shu Tian wanted to change another towel for him. But Li Han wrapped her hand with his big palm and

let her sit down upon his legs, with his hairs hung all over his forehead. "Stay here with me, please."

Shu Tian looked at him without any reaction. Li Han sighedl, and carried her to the bed. The quilt was

oozing with the fragrance of Shu Tian, which made him relaxed in an instant.

Shu Tian still wanted to continue the conversation, "Li Han..."

"Shh, let me sleep for a while. Let's talk about it when waking up." He gave a kiss and immediately

closed his eyes, looked really tired.

Shu Tian couldn't bear to disturb him. The bedroom was in a silence. Looking at his handsome face

with all kinds of thoughts in her mind. The silence and the various thoughts made her sleepy and finally

sent her to sleep.

A second after she fell asleep, Li Han immediately opened his eyes, as heard her steady breathing.

The warm tenderness in his eyes had been replaced by horrible coldness.

He gently pulled his arm away from her neck to avoid waking her up. Then, he opened the door and left

the bedroom before changing his clothes.
