Zhou Qin Yang never knew the way home can be so tense. Somehow the air in the car became suffocating, it was pin drops silence throughout the whole journey only the sounds of cars pa.s.s by them and the sound of the GPS. Lee Jun Ting didn't say a single word either and concentrate on his driving while Qin Yang look out the window as if something seem interesting was drawing her attention.

Lee Jun Ting drove up the driveway to her apartment then they arrived at their destination. Jun Ting look at the side and found Zhou Qin Yang asleep soundly in the pa.s.senger seat. Lee Jun Ting's was driving so smoothly that it made her close her eyes.

Time was so short when they spend their time together, Jun Ting didn't wake her up and adjust her body like it was fragile. He removed his blazer and place it over her, looking at her how she sleeps like an innocent baby. His face move closer instinctively, he could hear the sound of her soft breathing. ' Do you know how much I miss you? ' he whispers inwardly. He tuck her strands of her behind her hair. Just like a wolf looking at it's prey, ready to devour it.

After observing for awhile, he move back and step out of the car. He was afraid he might do something else. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up under the beautiful night sky. After a few puffs, a sound of the car door open could be heard. Zhou Qin Yang step out with his blazer over her shoulder, she rub her eyes like she just woke up " Why didn't you wake me up when we arrived? How long has it been?"

" Just a few minutes. I didn't want to wake you up. You had busy day today so I let you sleep." he lean against the car, he saw through his monitor screen the whole time and she didn't even take break. She somehow felt a bit refresh after the light nap.

Zhou Qin Yang frown when she saw the cigarette in between his fingers " You smoke now? It's bad for your health, you better stop it before it becomes a habit."

Lee Jun Ting not only miss her presence for the past 7 years, he had to face the pressure and burden of being a heir to the Lee Corporation. Everyday working to improve himself to fulfil people's expectation and wanting to be reliable if he ever meet her again. After his father saw his capabilities and let him took over the company with ease. He resorted to smoking to ease his stress temporarily but he knows his limit so hasn't become a habit yet.

Lee Jun Ting put out the cigarette after her advice " I got it." If Zhou Qin Yang wants him to stop then he will. Qin Yang remove the blazer from herself and hand it back to him " Thank you for sending me home. I'm sorry I troubled you"

" You never trouble me so don't apologise again." Jun Ting take the blazer from her hand. Jun Ting then added " I will pick you up tomorrow. Be ready by 8."

Zhou Qin Yang then realise the reason why he wanted to send her home is because he want to know where she lives. She sigh by the fact of this, she wanted to deny but once again she didn't because of the indescribable look he gave her with his hazel eyes.

They waved goodbye and Zhou Qin Yang walk into the lobby, enter the elevator. Lee Jun Ting watch her from behind inside of his car, he wished he had stop her and talk to her more. While Jun Ting was in the middle of his thoughts, a pair of hands stop the elevator from closing. Zhou Qin Yang run back to Lee Jun Ting's car as if she forgot something important.

Lee Jun Ting snap back to the present when a knock on the window appear. He turn to his right and saw Zhou Qin Yang trying to catch her breath. Zhou Qin Yang felt no matter what she wanted to tell him what happened seven years ago but she needed time, Lee Jun Ting didn't even ask her anything today that means he respected her. He expects her to tell him herself.

" When I'm ready, will you listen to me?" she swallows her saliva, her throat was dry from running.

He look at the woman in front of him " I will wait as long as it takes just for you"
