Chapter 150 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 18

Xue Lin"s bandage was removed two weeks later. She has a habit of not listening to the doctor and the nurses. She often walked whenever she was alone.

Not only the nurses but also Ge Chen was helpless when she didn"t obey the doctor"s order. In the end, D. Wei Qing was forced to take her bandage off two weeks earlier with Ge Chen"s permission.

Xue Lin was humming a song while driving her car. Ge Chen was sitting beside her. There was a hint of a smile on his lips. Soon they reached their home and were greeted by all the servants.

Xue Lin warmly talked to everyone and then went upstairs. After a cold shower, she jumped to her bed. "Ah, paradise."

What can be more comfortable other than one"s own bed?

Ge Chen also took a shower and came out with a white towel around his waist and another one covering his head.

Xue Lin took a glance and quickly averted her gaze. Though she did so, she couldn"t forget the droplets of water rolling down his muscled chest. "d.a.m.n it! Why do I have such sinful eyes?" She buried her face on the pillow.

"Do you want to ride on the boat?" Ge Chen asked after putting on clothes.

"Yes, I would love to go there." Xue Lin answered without looking at him. She was afraid this time she would see something that would take her straight to h.e.l.l.

"All right, let"s go."

Xue Lin carefully looked at him. Seeing her acting like a vigilant bunny, Ge Chen held back his laughter and said, "Do you want me to go there naked?"

"What?! No!" Xue Lin"s white jade-like face turned red instantly.

Ge Chen laughed and went out and Xue Lin flowed after him while glaring at him.

As usual, he rowed the boat and Xue Lin looked at the wonderful scenery. Her eyes landed on Ge Chen who was calmly and elegantly rowing the boat. His inky hair flattered in the wind and his black collar moved from time to time, showing his perfect collarbone.

He has a perfect feature that can make any woman drool over him.

Sensing her gaze, he glanced at her. "Do you want to say something?"

Xue Lin straightened up and shook her head. "Nothing at all."

Ge Chen"s eyes flickered with amus.e.m.e.nt. He said, "You have been looking at me for six minutes and twenty five seconds."

"Geez, do you have to count that?" Xue Lin frowned to hide her embarra.s.sment but it couldn"t control her blood flow that made her face turn red easily. She didn"t want him to know that she was attracted to his beauty. Therefore, she said, "I wish to learn how to row a boat. When I see you rowing a boat it seems like it"s easy to row."

He invited her, "Do you think so? Come over here. I"ll teach you."

"Thank you, *sensei." Xue Lin stood up and carefully walked toward him. However, the boat was sinking on his side. She stopped walking. "Err… I think I will learn later."

"It"s all right. I"m here. You won"t drown in the lake." Ge Chen stretched his left hand.

Xue Lin looked at him in the eyes. The pair of grey eyes were locked by another pair of grey eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath and walked forward. She reached out her right hand and touched his left hand.

Ge Chen swiftly pulled her toward him.

Xue Lin gasped and fell on his body. The boat swagged violently and water splashed. She grabbed him tightly. After the boat stopped moving, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don"t do that!" She almost had a heart attack.

"My bad," Ge Chen politely apologized. However, he wasn"t apologetic at all. If he didn"t do that, would he be able to hug her small body?

Xue Lin carefully sat up straight showing him her back. Her back touched his st.u.r.dy chest. She could feel his warmth even though they were wearing clothes. Her body stiffened.

Ge Chen sensed her discomfort but he didn"t move away. He put his free hand on her shoulder and said, "Relax." His tone was friendly and peaceful. Only hearing his voice could make her stop thinking about anything else. He put the wooden paddle in front of her and she grabbed it.

"Grab here," he taught her how to grab it, and then together, they rowed the boat.

Xue Lin was too busy to learn how to row a boat. So, she didn"t notice where they were heading. When the area was going dark and chilly, only then she looked around. "Where are we going?"

Anyone else would get frightened going to a place like that. However, Xue Lin didn"t feel anything because she thought as long as her husband was with her, nothing could go wrong.

Ge Chen answered, "We are going deep."

"I can see that. Are we going to the mountain area?"

"There is something I want to show you." They rowed the boat for a while. Xue Lin got tired and stopped rowing. Ge Chen took her to deep forest. He tied the boat to the wooden fence of the deck. He held out his hand.

Xue Lin took his hand and came to the deck.

"Are you cold?" Ge Chen asked.

"It"s chilling here but I can handle this much." Xue Lin answered.

Hand in hand, they walked in the road. They went deep into the forest. None of them talked and enjoyed the view. The trees in this area were taller than the trees around the house. Though this area was in a higher position, sunlight hardly entered. As a result, even though it was noon, the forest was dark.

Seeing a watchtower, Xue Lin asked, "Are there any guards in that watchtower?"

Ge Chen answered, "Of course, there are three guards in every watchtower. They have to keep an eye for the people who trespa.s.s and try to hunt down the animals."

As he spoke, they heard a howl of a wolf.

*Sensei a j.a.panese word that means "teacher"
