My Fated Companion

Chapter 4

Dingding's P.O.V.

"You know what, you like the ground? Fine, I won't call your manager, you can sleep on the cold, hard ground then." I snapped before returning to the couch and continuing to eat my takeout. I can't even enjoy a meal in peace nowadays. And it's not even 10 pm yet.

As I continued scrolling through my phone, I couldn't help but take a glance at him every so often. I can't believe he actually fell asleep on the ground. My heart softened a little when I saw him beginning to shiver. The ground is colder in general, plus, I have the AC on pretty high.

I sighed a little as I set my food down and went to him. I bent down and helped him stand up before dragging him to the bed and setting him on it. I may not like it when he's around, but I'm also not a mean person. "Get some rest, you'll sober up tomorrow and write me an apology. I'll sleep on the couch tonight." I mumbled as I threw the blanket over him effortlessly.

I headed into the bathroom and took a quick shower before removing my makeup and changing into my silk gown. "Never thought I would end up sleeping on the damn couch when I paid so much for this room," I muttered, wow, I'm in a very sour mood tonight.

I grabbed a towel and used it as my blanket since the bed hog is using the only blanket in the room. I turned down the AC because I knew that I was going to get sick. This way, I might get sick less.

Ruwei's P.O.V.

When I felt Dingding dim the lights, I opened my eyes. Yes, I can't believe my plan actually worked. I don't get drunk that easily, but knowing how smart she is, she wouldn't get tricked that easily, so I had to drink a significant amount to get the wine smell stuck on me.

The whole point of me recommending her to the TV directors is because I want to spend more time with her so she'll fall in love with me. She thinks it's a contract marriage, but she doesn't know how much I love her. I've loved her since the day I first met her in college. I didn't want her to leave me, so I proposed this contract marriage.

I thought that even though she won't love me, at the very least she'll still be my wife, and I'll still be able to see her, better than us saying goodbye after college. It was a hard decision, and I went according to the rules for 6 years, but I don't want to wait anymore, I want her in my life.

Her actions tonight showed me that she may not love me, but she definitely cares about me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let me sleep on the bed while she slept on the couch with a towel.

I got off of the bed and quietly walked to the couch. I bent down and watched her sleep for a little while. She's so beautiful. Her face is so beautiful and flawless, she looks like the most beautiful goddess ever. What's even more beautiful about her is her personality.

If she can give me a chance, I promise I will never ever let her down, never let her suffer and I'll never hurt her. I'll give her the happiness she deserves. I won't stop until this day comes.

I carefully pulled the towel off of her and scooped her into my arms bridal style. Apparently she's a heavy sleeper. I was going to place her on the bed, but then I thought, I like her in my arms, so I sat down on the couch and continued holding her.

Dingding's P.O.V.

I knew he wasn't drunk! I just played along with him to see what he had in mind. Apparently he's using this drunk excuse to get closer to me, for what, I don't know, but I guess I'm about to find out soon. Oddly, being in his arms isn't the worst feeling.

It makes me feel so protected. The reason I have such a strong personality is that I have to protect myself, so I've gotten used to always being so strong and never showing any weakness, but now that I'm in his arms, I feel as if I don't need to be as strong anymore because he'll protect me.
