When Xia Ning woke up in the morning, she felt distinctly different, for she could hear a steady, regular beat near her ears. She opened her eyes slowly. What she saw was a man’s solid chest.

With her hands embracing his waist tightly, they looked extremely intimate.

Realizing what had happened last night, Xia Ning trembled, withdrew her hands instinctively and wanted to move away.

All of a sudden, a big hand pressed her against her waist. His low voice sounded above her head, “Are you awake?”

Xia Ning looked up only to meet his serene eyes. She nodded. She tried to move aside to separate from him a little, but he obviously would not let her go.

Qiao Yu bent his head to look at her as he asked softly, “Are you tired?”

The question made Xia Ning shudder. It was because she answered this very question that she did not wake up until now.

She bent her head as she asked in a small voice, “What time is it now?”

“It’s nine-thirty.” Qiao Yu replied.

“It’s already nine-thirty?” Xia Ning exclaimed loudly. She immediately sat up with a start. By now, Enoch and Qiao Yu’s mother must have gotten up. But she and Qiao Yu hadn’t got up yet. Both of them would know what had happened last night, which was too shameful.

With her act, the blanket covering her instantly fell down. Her skin was exposed to the air, she instantly shuddered and hurried to pull the blanket to cover herself.

Next to her, Qiao Yu laughed in his deep voice, “It doesn’t matter. My mother will take good care of Enoch. She will be the happiest to know our intimate relationship.”

Xia Ning bent her head as she whispered, “It is not you that will face the humiliation!”

“I feel no humiliation indeed.” Qiao Yu set Xia Ning upright, looked at her and smiled, “I’m very happy.”

“You...” Xia Ning hit Qiao Yu angrily, “You, get up at once and go out.”

Qiao Yu seized Xia Ning’s hand, drew it to his lips and kissed it, “People say that hitting and cursing indicate love. You love me very much.”

“How can you be shameless like this?” Xia Ning glared at Qiao Yu as she tried to withdraw her hand.

“Huh, who did you say is shameless?” Qiao Yu gave her a dangerous gaze, “Then, do you want me to do something more shameless?”

As soon as Xia Ning heard this, her expression changed. She glared at him, “If you dare to make trouble, then go to sleep in the guestroom afterward!”

Seeing Xia Ning getting angry, Qiao Yu bent down to kiss her face and smiled, “I’m joking with you. If I continue to roll around with you, I will not be able to the company today.” Saying so, he immediately got up to walk towards the bathroom.

Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu’s solid back. Her heart trembling, she directly took the blanket to cover herself.

Sure enough, his beauty seduced her! Five years ago, she could not resist the temptation of his beauty. It was still the same five years later.

After a shower, Qiao Yu stepped out in his fresh clothes. When he saw Xia Ning hiding under the blanket, he was aware of her shyness. He smiled, walked to the bedside and said softly, “I’ll go to the company. I won’t come back for lunch. You can sleep longer. But remember to get up for lunch at noon.”

The person under the blanket ignored him. Qiao Yu smiled, adjusted his tie, closed the door and went out.

As soon as she heard him close the door, Xia Ning got out of the blanket at once. She looked at the large room in which she was all alone.

Staying silent on the bed for three minutes, Xia Ning directly got up and went to the bathroom. The woman in the mirror looked radiant and joyful.

Thinking about the bits and pieces of last night’s and this morning’s activities with Qiao Yu, she touched her face to discern whether she was in a drama or in reality!!
