Li Shengxiao settled in, and Rong Yan had no choice but to continue playing the role of his devoted caretaker, preparing his bath water and brewing his porridge, changing his bedding.
Fortunately, she had bought extra sets of sheets and duvets during her last big shopping excursion; otherwise, he would have had to sleep in her dog’s bed tonight!
Rong Yan had a thing about smells.
Apart from her darling Little Bao, she didn’t want her bedroom tainted with any male’s scent!
After changing the bedding, Li Shengxiao had finished his porridge.
“You wait, I’ll take care of it,” Rong Yan said as she saw him getting up and hurriedly scurried over, instinctively snatching the bowl from him.
While pushing him forward, she said, “Leave all this to me. You’re a patient; go and rest. I’ve already made your bed with fresh linens; make do and sleep for a bit. Doctor Cui will come to pick you up after he’s done with his work.”
“What about you?”
Li Shengxiao was wearing a light silver silk pajama set. Such a flamboyant color could easily give off a nouveau riche vibe on someone else, but on him, it perfectly complemented his distinguished aura. The term ‘casually handsome’ must have been coined to describe this man!
Rong Yan had seen this man’s peerless beauty countless times on television, but seeing him face-to-face was still somewhat breath-taking.
He was just too fuckin’ good-looking!
It was downright criminal!
She quickly averted her eyes, pushing him inside while saying naturally, “Of course, I’m going to tidy up the room. After you’ve slept, I’ll clean up the kitchen. The clothes in the washing machine aren’t done yet. I probably won’t sleep until later; you go to bed first. I’ll call you when Doctor Cui arrives.”
Li Shengxiao watched her flitting about like a little wife, deeply imprinting the image on his mind. His pale lips pursed into a straight line as he watched her walk back to the living room with a towel in hand.
Two hours later, Rong Yan finally finished hanging the last piece of clothing on the rack. She stretched with abandon, feeling sore all over.
Damn, I’m exhausted!
After doing a few simple stretching exercises to loosen up her muscles, Rong
Yan headed toward the bedroom…
Wonder if the person inside has fallen asleep yet?
She gently opened the bedroom door. The room was pitch black, silent except for the sound of breathing, appearing as though he had fallen asleep.
Tiptoeing over to the bed, Rong Yan reached out to grab her phone.
Just as she was cautiously stretching out her hand, the sound of someone turning over in bed next to her sent a jolt of fear through her, and she froze in place.
When the sound of turning settled into steady breathing once more, she let out a long sigh of relief.
That scared the life out of her; she thought she’d woken him up…
As Rong Yan picked up her phone, ready to retreat, something unexpected happened—she didn’t even realize she had disturbed the man on the bed, but he suddenly seized her accurately in his sleep!
Fuck, what’s going on?!
With the phone in hand, Rong Yan tried to quietly slip away, but the grip on her was firm as if clamped by iron tongs, inescapable.
She tried several times without success and finally gave up, leaning over and whispering into the ear of the person feigning sleep, “Li Shengxiao, are you asleep? My hand…”
Before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled into a whirl, tumbling down onto the man!
Rong Yan was completely stunned.
The sleeping person seemed to mistake her for a large pillow, making a muffled noise and furrowing his brow as if he was about to wake up.
His arm was around her waist, the heat searing against her skin, especially since his breath was strangely warm on her face..
