After a long time, Lu Yuchen suddenly stood up from the sofa.
The man quickly left the study and returned to the bedroom.
On the huge bed in the bedroom, Xinluo was curled up alone on the inner side of the bed, with her small body tightly wrapped in the quilt.
Lu Yuchen walked slowly to the bed, lifted the quilt on his side, and got on the bed.
Turning off the only desk lamp in the room, Lu Yuchen pulled up the quilt and lay down.
The bed was two meters wide, Lu Yuchen slept on the outside and Xinluo slept on the inside. From beginning to end, the two of them did not touch each other at all.
Xinluo didn't even know that Lu Yuchen had come back.
And so, I slept alone for the whole night.
Until the next morning.
"A-choo—"
Lu Yuchen was awakened by the sneezing sound of the woman next to him.
He opened his eyes and saw Xinluo half-raised herself and trying to reach for the tissue on the bedside table.
But because half of his body was injured, he couldn't use his legs, so he couldn't reach it.
"What are you doing?"
A man's cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. Xinluo was so scared that her upper body trembled and she almost fell off the bed.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a big hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
"I, I'm..."
"Why are you so cold?" The man suddenly interrupted her with a cold face.
His big hands moved from her waist down to her thighs, calves, and then to her five crystal white toes.
Her entire lower body was icy cold. How on earth did she sleep to make herself so cold?!
"I... I feel cold at night... and it's hard to turn over. If I stay in one position for too long, my blood circulation will inevitably be blocked."
Lu Yuchen looked at her with her head down, looking aggrieved, and was almost mad at her.
Yes.
Although it is autumn now and not winter yet, when he thinks about the time he has spent with Xinluo, he knows that she is indeed afraid of the cold.
Before, I held her tightly every night, so of course she wouldn't catch a cold.
But now…
Thinking of their current relationship, Lu Yuchen's dark eyes flashed with coldness, "If you feel cold, you can wake me up."
"I... I don't dare..." Xinluo buried her head even lower.
What was the point of her waking him up when he didn't even want to sleep with her
If I wake him up, will he be willing to hug me and warm me with the temperature of his body
The man's eyes dimmed, as if he had thought of this.
He deliberately used a cold tone to say: "Don't try to act pitiful in front of me. You are the eldest daughter of the Reddington family. You have dealt with more people and seen more methods than ordinary women. Your weak and timid appearance may deceive others, but it can never deceive me."
“I… I didn’t…” Xinluo raised her head, her beautiful eyes already filled with tears.
She was indeed no longer the ignorant girl who was rescued from the Tang family and the Lu family by Lu Yuchen at the beginning.
But no matter how tough and strong she is outside.
Whenever she was in front of this man, she would unconsciously reveal the delicate and charming look of her girlhood.
Because the man in front of her was the one who always let her act like a spoiled brat and always pampered her.
He is the only man she deeply loves in her life.
Lu Yuchen doted on her so much.
Lu Yuchen, who thought she would never have to grow up in front of him.
She only needs to nestle in his arms and act as she pleases, without having to worry about anything Lu Yuchen does.
I never expected that one day I would say such words to her.
Xinluo forced herself to hold back the tears in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand.
The Lu Yuchen in front of her was no longer the man who allowed her to let down her guard and do whatever she wanted.
"I'm sorry, I understand. I won't do this again." Xinluo raised her eyes and looked straight at him.
There is no longer that kind of sparkling water light in my eyes.
Suddenly, an inexplicable panic surged up from Lu Yuchen's heart. (To be continued)
