He had suffered so much in the past hour, but she was so generous that she could still fall asleep without him!
âYou heartless little thing.â
In the end, he couldnât bear to blame her, especially when he saw her hand still protecting her stomach even after she had fallen asleep. The helplessness in his eyes turned into deep gentleness and love.
He carefully turned over to the other side and gently pulled her into his arms.
The woman in her sleep frowned uncomfortably, but after smelling the familiar smell, she shrank into his arms without resistance and found a more comfortable position to sleep.
Amused, Nian lie planted a kiss on her cheek. Then, he hugged the most important person in his life tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until five in the afternoon.
Ning Qing had been sleeping very comfortably, but when she opened her eyes and saw the manâs face, she was still confused for a long time.
Didnât she ask him to leave?
Why was he in bed?
Ning Qing woke up and propped herself up. She was a little grumpy after waking up and wanted to kick him off the bed.
However, when her gaze fell on the dark circles under the manâs eyes, she couldnât bring herself to do it.
She knew that he had a lot of things to do recently. He had to play and protect her while he was busy with work. It was almost impossible for him to rest well.
âForget it, Iâll let you lie down for a while.â
She left this sentence behind mercifully, slowly got off the bed, and carefully closed the door.
On the bed, the manâs handsome face was buried in the pillow. His drooping eyelashes were long and thick, which could not hide his exhaustion and loneliness.

As the night fell, Nian Yu jolted awake from his bed.
Ning Qing was sitting on the sofa with a tablet in her hand. She was watching a show. When she heard the commotion, she asked, â youâre awake? â
â......â
There was no sound.
She held the grape in one hand and stuffed it into her mouth. She did not look up at him, but she could hear his rapid breathing.
After a while, the man still did not move.
Ning Qing frowned. why are you in a daze? â
Messy footsteps were heard, and then she was hugged tightly from behind.
The manâs strength was very strong. He wrapped his arms around her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
He was trembling.
Ning Qing had no choice but to put down the tablet. She grabbed his arm and asked gently, â whatâs wrong? did you have a nightmare? â
âYingluo, yes.â
Nian lieâs voice was hoarse, and his breathing grew heavier with each breath.
Knowing that she was still around, his heartache and despair receded like the tide.
Ning Qing twisted her neck, but she couldnât move it. She said helplessly, â I canât breathe.
Nian lie woke up with a start and released her.
Ning Qing touched her neck and turned to look at him. He was dejected, panicked, and a little at a loss, as if he was wondering if she was still angry.
She sighed and patted the seat beside her. come and sit.
Nian lie hesitated but obediently walked over and sat down.
She leaned on his shoulder and showed him the tablet. what do you think of this? â
Nian Xiâs eyes were not clear. He followed her fingers and looked at the screen in a daze.
There was a drawing of a ring on the surface. It looked like it was half-drawn and unfinished, but the whole thing was simple and elegant. The body of the ring was engraved with complicated patterns. Upon closer inspection, it was almost the same as the one on ning Qingâs hand.
Nian lieâs entire body trembled, his dark eyes deep.
Ning Qing laughed. weâre getting married. I canât be the only one wearing a ring. Otherwise, if you go out naked, people will think that youâre single and give others the right to seduce you.
â......â
âSince youâre already married, you should be more self-conscious.â
He was stunned. Ning Qing grabbed his hand and turned it over and over, looking at it carefully.
