âHuh? Yeah, thatâs the one. What about it?â
The squab joined with the medicinal cuisine, he didnât need to think to know what had been added to the medicine!
His gaze swept over the young womanâs skin, flushed with a hint of pink, as he pursed his lips and asked, âDid you drink it too?â
âI did, I drank mine earlier, the rest is yours.â Rong Yan didnât think too much and readily admitted that she had drunk it.
âYou should drink it quickly, it really doesnât taste good when itâs cold.â
Mrs. Lin had personally simmered it, and she didnât want this kind gesture to go to waste.
ââ¦â
Did she actually know what kind of soup this was!
Rong Yan indeed hadnât considered that Lin Zhiya would brew them Supreme Revitalizing Soup, especially such a strongly fortifying type. Seeing the distinguished man still hadnât reacted, she couldnât help but urge him again, âWhy arenât you drinking?â
Damn it! Li Shengxiaoâs eyes gradually darkened, holding the bowl, he pursed his thin lips, tilted his head back and drank down the soup.
After setting down the empty bowl, his Adamâs apple moved as he tugged at his collar, âIâm going to take a shower!â
âOkay.â Rong Yan watched him finish, stretched her stiff neck, feeling much more comfortable in her stomach and not as overwhelmingly full as before. She naturally said, âThen Iâm going to bed first.â
She wasnât being squeamish; after all, tonight they could only squeeze into one room, and there was only one bed. To be on the safe side, there was just one blanket on the bed. She couldnât possibly just make do on the sofa without covering up, could she?
Whether it was her making do on the sofa for the night or Li Shengxiao, theyâd probably catch a cold.
Her suggestion was purely out of consideration for the special circumstance, nothing more, but her words fell on Li Shengxiaoâs ears as an outright invitation!
Damn, since when had the collar of this shirt been so tight? He hadnât noticed before.
The handsome man, annoyed, undid a button, breathed a bit easier with a grunt, and then went into the en-suite bathroom.
âSplash splash splashâ¦â
Soon after, Rong Yan could hear the sound of water from inside.
She stretched lazily, really feeling beat, walked over to the gray bed, pulled back the blanket, and climbed in first.
It had been a long time since Li Shengxiao stayed here, but as soon as Rong Yan got into bed, she could still smell his unique scent on the sheets and blanket.
That faint Dragon Sandalwood scent mixed with mint invaded every cell, seeping in everywhereâ¦
â¦
Fifteen minutes later, the sound of water from the bathroom gradually stopped.
âClickâ, the bathroom door opened from the inside, and the distinguished man came out wearing a bathrobe, his ink-black short hair still damp, his hawk-like eyes profound, his thin lips tightly pressed, his strong jaw set firmly. He walked to the side of the bed, intending to check what the little woman in the bedroom was up to, but unexpectedly, at a glance, he saw the person under the covers closing her eyes, sleeping sweetlyâ¦
His lower abdomen had been tense right from the start, even slightly aching, and at the sudden sight of that peaceful sleeping face, Li Shengxiao felt a thumping sensation in his temples.
She⦠had actually fallen asleep!
She had no psychological pressure after making him drink that bowl of pigeon soup and fell asleep?
A heavy weight suddenly pressed on Li Shengxiaoâs chest, and the feeling of being struck made his handsome face go dark, and his head began to ache.
She couldnât be intentionally playing him, could she?
The breathing of the girl under the covers was regular, not seeming to be pretending to sleep.
Li Shengxiaoâs temples throbbed again, his thin lips becoming a straight line! He really wanted to wake up the person sleeping soundly on the bed, but looking at her sleeping face, he damnably couldnât bring himself to do it!
