Chapter 1612: Chapter 1613: Change of Address, Young Madam
He had never treated her this well before.
This feeling made her think it was incredibly precious.
Lowering her head, a thin mist of moisture rose in her eyes, but the corners of her lips unknowingly curved into a faint smile.
This man, whether he loved her or not, as long as he was like this, she was already content.
As she thought so, her hand subconsciously lifted and, without thinking, wrapped around his waist, making Qin Feimo’s whole body suddenly tense up.
Just now, chatting with her had finally calmed the heat burning in his body, but because of her small movement, that heat seemed to flare up restlessly again.
Closing his eyes, Qin Feimo tried his best to suppress that heat and could only search for something to talk about again.
But after turning it over in his mind for a long time, his thoughts were so messy he couldn’t even find half a word, having no idea what to say.
He took a deep breath, and feeling that heat growing more and more rampant, he completely surrendered. Lifting the quilt, he said, "I’m going to take a shower."
The warm body suddenly left. Feng Jinglei froze for a moment, then poked her head out from under the covers, a bit puzzled as she watched the man’s back as he entered the bathroom.
She remembered he had just taken a shower before coming downstairs, so why was he showering again?
Blinking her dark eyes, Feng Jinglei couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought, but after tilting her head and mulling it over for a while, she suddenly seemed to understand something, and her cheeks flushed.
Could it be that he... like in the movies... was taking a cold shower because he had those kinds of feelings?
But it was still early spring, only February. Wouldn’t taking a cold shower freeze him?
Looking at that door, her heart ached for him, but when she thought of the reason he was showering, she was so embarrassed she burrowed back into the covers.
After nearly twenty minutes under the water, when he came out again, Feng Jinglei on the bed was already fast asleep.
Under the dim light, he looked down at that sleeping face from above, and his heart was calmer than it had ever been.
He didn’t love her, yet he was willing to go against his own principles to marry her—was it really just because of a child?
In the past, he had been repulsed by her. But now, his feelings toward her were different; he no longer disliked this face.
The corners of his lips lifted in a faint arc. He reached out and lifted the quilt, lay down beside her, and as he looked at that sleeping face, he unknowingly drifted off as well...
.
The next day.
A ray of sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious bedroom. Feng Jinglei woke up lazily, with a trace of contentment.
Opening her eyes, she stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar ceiling and the decor of the room. She was dazed for a second before her memory came back: she had slept in Qin Feimo’s room last night.
Although she still couldn’t quite sort out the relationship between her and him, the two of them had seemed to get along harmoniously last night. Just like he’d said, no matter what, at the very least, they were about to get married.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips unconsciously blossomed into a sweet smile that came with waking up in the morning.
"Knock, knock."
The door was lightly knocked on at that moment.
Hearing the sound, she lifted her gaze, and for an instant, she had the feeling that she was the mistress of this room.
Of course, that was just a little fantasy of hers.
"Come in."
She casually lifted the quilt, and seeing the sunlight pouring in, she felt it must not be early anymore, so she prepared to get up and wash.
The door opened, and it was Sister Axian who walked in.
"Young Madam is awake."
Feng Jinglei had just set both feet on the floor when she heard how Sister Axian addressed her, and her whole body paused.
"Young Madam?"
Sister Axian smiled, carrying a bunch of daily necessities in her hands. "The Old Madam said that you and the Young Master are about to get married, so starting today, we have to change how we address you."
