Boss, Can I Hug Your T.h.i.g.h?

When Hana woke up, she saw Lu Xiao Tian working on his laptop.

"Hey, why did you not wake me up?" Checking her phone, it was already 11 in the evening. They ate at around 7:30 and ended at 8:30. Her place was just around the area, so the travel time would not even exceed 30 minutes. With that, she was sleeping and he waited for almost two hours.

"You slept peacefully, and I felt bad waking you up." Hana noticed he looked too tired and got bothered with it.

She thanked him for sending her home and asked him to wait for the meantime then went inside her place. She planned to make him a coffee to awaken himself before going back to his place as she was afraid that he might get into an accident due to exhaustion.

Although she thought that it would be bad to give him caffeine during this hour and it might cause him not to fall asleep, it would still be better than nothing.

At the time she went back with a tumbler, she saw Lu Xiao Tian massaging his forehead. She felt really guilty and told him to drink the coffee while it's hot and go home after that so he could rest.

Waving him goodbye, she entered her place and made sure everything was closed.

She was overwhelmed with the kindness being shown to her and felt guilty at the same time. She was not sure if that's his true personality or if he had any other intention.

She did not want to look bad, but one of the reasons she was too accommodating to him was for the sake of getting her job done. It might look like that sometimes she wanted to jump onto him however, that's what she always wanted to do to other guys she liked hence there was nothing special to it.

It was a horrible feeling to learn that her action was like a user. With that, she was planning to pay more attention and show him some care.

If he was being nice because he fell in love with her, which she doubted it would even happen, she was not sure how she would handle it. Reading a lot of romance novels made her think of these useless stuff...

Just as expected, she woke up the next morning with her body aching. Also, she forgot to massage her body before sleeping. Even though they only did some basic stretching, it still caused her muscles to spasm.

She tried getting up be she couldn't, with that, she called Secretary Liu to tell her she would not go to the office and would just work from home.

Hana also asked Father Shen to have someone to accompany her. She really could not move around hence her only option was to stay on her bed while working. However, some miscellaneous stuff such as cooking should be done by someone else as of that moment.

Father Shen got worried when he heard her daughter's situation and came instead of asking someone. Like Hana did, he brought his stuff and decided to accompany his daughter while also working from her place.

"What happened to you?" Father Shen said while preparing the food he brought.

"I went to the gym yesterday with Lu Xiao Tian and he taught me some basic self-defense. Since I'm not really used to it, as you can see, I'm in pain now." Father Shen wanted to laugh but stopped, thinking that his daughter might get mad at him.

"I'll help you for now until you get better." Hana did not reject him. So long as there was someone who would to attend to her needs, she was okay with anyone. Nevertheless, a family member was still better than someone random.

After Father Shen took care of Hana, he went to the living room and called Lu Xiao Tian to reprimand him.

"Ah Tian, why did make my daughter overworked yesterday? Now, she could not even step out from her bedroom." Lu Xiao Tian chuckled when he heard that.

"I did not. I just taught her some basics. She was just not used to it." He explained to Father Shen that Hana was not regularly exercising that's why it happened.

After hearing out Lu Xiao Tian's explanation, Father Shen talked with him for a while before saying goodbye.

"Wait."

"Yes?" Father Shen was not sure if there's anything Lu Xiao Tian needed to add.

"Is it okay to visit her?"

"Aren't you busy?" Lu Xiao just started handling their company and there might be a lot of stuff to be worked on.

"It is still manageable. Is it possible this evening?" Luckily, Father Shen knew Lu Xiao Tian since the latter was still a child, so he agreed with him. If it was any other guys, he would reject them instantly. His daughter was too precious to be closed with those parasites.

Hana worked for the whole day without going out of her bedroom. Her father was there to help her with her food and other stuff, so she was able to focus more with her job and finished everything before her shift ended.

She instructed Secretary Liu to make sure to move all her scheduled meeting that got cancelled because of her stupidity to exercise on a weekday. Well, though it was suggested by Lu Xiao Tian, she still agreed with it so she was also at fault.

Noticing it was already late in the afternoon, she attempted to get up and go downstairs. Thankfully, the pain level was now lower though her t.h.i.g.hs were still swelling and with that, she needed to move carefully.

She wanted to go towards the living room since she got bored staying in her bedroom. She tried to get down one step at a time and felt a tingling sensation due to pain. 'Ugh, why did I even think of going downstairs. Why am I even abusing my body? Am I becoming too stupid?'

Reaching the last step, she heard her doorbell rang. Father Shen was just around the kitchen, so he was able to overhear it too.

Seeing that his daughter was having a hard time, he went to the door immediately.

"Ah Tian, please make yourself comfortable. I'm going to Ah Yue to help her." Father Shen returned to the living room then led his daughter to a sofa.

Hana was just about to sit when pain hit her because the muscles in her t.h.i.g.hs got outstretched. She could not help but yelped and stand again to ease the tension.

Lu Xiao Tian saw the whole fiasco and found everything to be amusing. He went to the kitchen and placed the food he brought then went back to the father-daughter to ask if they needed his help.

"Do you know anything that could elevate the pain?" Father Shen looked at Lu Xiao Tian to get some advice. He got really anxious when he saw his daughter getting teary-eyed and could not even sit properly.

"I can help massaging her muscles to make it relax."

When Hana caught his words, she got embarrassed.

"Where is it painful?" Catching her reactions, Lu Xiao Tian inquired immediately. He reckoned that she felt too sore and needed some help.

Hana did not answer him then stared at her father. Noting the she got his attention, she told him to just get her a pain reliever medicine.

"Ah Yue, it is bad to consume that kind of medicine. Just let Ah Tian massage your muscles."

"Dad…" Detecting that there was something wrong, Father Shen asked about it.

Hana motioned Father Shen to go near her and whispered, "Dad, it is my t.h.i.g.hs that hurt the most."

When he heard his daughter, he could not help but to cough then turned his attention to Lu Xiao Tian.

"Ah Tian, never mind that. Can you please get some pain reliever? It is in the medicine box near the kitchen counter."

Even he felt embarrassed to let a man to massage his daughter on that part. With that, he just decided to straightaway retract his previous words and instructed Lu Xiao Tian to get the medicine.

Lu Xiao Tian did not inquire any further seeing the duo's reaction. He just went to kitchen as he was told.

"Ah Yue, why did not tell me about it." Father Shen was so ashamed when he said that.

Rolling her eyes, Hana stated as a matter of fact, "Dad, you did not ask about it."
