Chapter 1791: Come Here
At some point, Little Moon had run to the bed. While they were talking, he took aim at the black bag and bit it.
The two of them were attracted by its actions and looked at it.
“Moon, don’t bite it…”
These were all Li Mo’s things. If they broke, he would go out in the middle of the night to buy another set for her…
She couldn’t take it anymore.
She reached out to take it, but Little Moon stuck his butt out and fought with Xu Qingzhi.
Without any warning, Xu Qingzhi tore the thin bag into two.
The things inside scattered all over the bed.
Xu Qingzhi paused and hurriedly reached out to pack up the items. However, before her hand could touch them, it stopped in mid-air.
Looking at the pile of things, her face suddenly turned red.
She curled her fingers and found herself in a dilemma.
She didn’t know whether to take it or not.
No wonder the cashier said that.
So that was the reason.
A familiar aura suddenly pressed down on her. Her heart skipped a beat and she saw a long arm sweep past her.
Looking over, she realized that the well-defined hand had already picked up one of the boxes.
After that, his aura faded and he stood up. After looking at the box for a few seconds, his expression changed.
Xu Qingzhi’s face flushed red. Now that there were only the two of them, her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw this unbearable sight.
But the situation couldn’t be calmed down easily.
When Li Mo realized what these things were, he subconsciously looked at Xu Qingzhi.
Her face was flushed and her eyes flickered. She turned her head to the side, revealing an ear and neck that were dyed red.
Li Mo’s gaze trailed down her slender and fair neck. Her exquisite collarbones were exceptionally obvious because of her movement.
Perhaps because Li Mo’s gaze was too unconcealed, Xu Qingzhi’s heart raced. Her eyes darted around before she suddenly stood up and picked up the bag beside her.
“I’ll go downstairs to put these things away.”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and walked past Li Mo. A faint fragrance swept past him and his eyes narrowed slightly, allowing her to escape in panic.
He was the only one left in the room. He turned to look at the bed and his lips twitched.
Back then, he had taken almost everything on the shelf. There were several brands and even different design categories. He had taken two boxes of everything. Now, there were at least a dozen boxes.
The supermarket cashier’s words sounded again.
She had just gotten pregnant, so she had to control herself.
Frowning, he took a bag that had just been emptied and put away the things on the bed.
Then, she bent down and sat on the bed. She took out her phone and fiddled with it for a while.
Two minutes later, he threw his phone on the bed and stood up silently to go to the bathroom.
Xu Qingzhi had just bought a glass of water, bowls, and slippers downstairs. She heated a glass of milk and sat at the dining table, not daring to go upstairs.
She didn’t know how to face Limo.
Why would he take so many of those?
What… was he doing with those things?
She didn’t dare to think about it. She held the glass and took a sip of warm milk.
Blinking, she stroked her burning cheeks with the back of her hand.
Finally, she picked up the cup again and finished the milk. She reached out to fan herself.
So hot…
She dawdled for more than twenty minutes before she composed herself and went upstairs.
She hesitantly opened the door and walked in to find that there was no one inside. The things scattered on the bed had also been tidied up. When she listened to the bathroom again, there seemed to be no sound.
She heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately… otherwise, she wouldn’t know how awkward it would be.
However, she still felt a little disappointed.
Guessing that he might have gone to the room next door to rest, she sighed softly and walked to the bed. She took off her clothes and changed into her nightgown. Then, she lifted the blanket and lay down.
She checked the time on her phone. It was almost eleven o’clock.
She had planned to sleep at nine.
She wondered if she had gotten used to Little Moon sleeping beside her after spending two days with him. She looked to the side, but there was no sign of him. She reached into her cup and searched for a while, but there was nothing.
Did the little guy fall in love with Limo and sleep with him?
But did Limo want it?
Forget it, it had a kennel too.
Not long after Xu Qingzhi laid down, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning.
She shuddered and the little bit of pajamas that she had painstakingly put on disappeared in fear.
However, when she thought of the two people in the room, she tightened her grip on the blanket and closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep.
Li Mo changed into his pajamas and walked in. He saw that Xu Qingzhi was already lying on the bed. Her body was tilted slightly and she was facing the window. The blanket was pulled up to her chin.
He walked to the other side of the bed and stood there for a few seconds before bending down to lift the blanket and lying down naturally.
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled slightly, and her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. Her heart pounded wildly.
It was too comical for her to pretend to be asleep.
She gritted her teeth and buried her head deeper into the blanket.
“Do you want to suffocate yourself?”
Li Mo’s low voice suddenly sounded. Xu Qingzhi paused and pretended to be asleep.
She opened her eyes slowly and saw Limo’s face.
Her pupils constricted from the strong impact. She pursed her lips and moved away from Limo.
“You…” she began awkwardly, “why aren’t you next door…”
Li Mo frowned. “How many times do I have to say it? This is my room too!”
Xu Qingzhi nodded. “I know, but… are you sure you want to sleep here?”
Li Mo’s voice was deep and cold. “This is my bed too.”
Xu Qingzhi paused. Sleeping on the same bed as Limo was really the second time in her life.
Even though they were legally married.
It could also be said that the legal couple had never lived a life that a legal couple should have.
The only time they slept under the same roof was when they slept in separate rooms.
She wasn’t used to it. In fact, she was more nervous and uneasy.
She was used to living alone and had never gotten married. To her, it was just a change of residence.
Now that Li Mo had suddenly barged into her life, she was caught off guard and completely disrupted her rhythm.
She hesitated for a long time before sitting up slowly.
“Then I…”
“Xu Qingzhi, I don’t want to argue with you now, but if you don’t behave yourself, you can sleep in the courtyard.”
“…” How was she restless?
“Lie down,” the man said again.
Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and comforted herself that she had to recognize herself. She was now Limo’s wife. It was only right and proper for her to sleep on the same bed as him.
In the end, she lay down. However, the first thing she did was to find the remote control and turn off the lights in the room.
The room darkened and there was only a dim night light beside her.
That was the night light she had prepared to prevent herself from accidentally hitting the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Without the bright lights, she felt much better in the dark.
There was no sound for a long time. Just as Xu Qingzhi was about to calm down, Li Mo’s low and hoarse voice sounded again.
“Move over here.”
Xu Qingzhi was shocked and didn’t move.
“If you move any further, you’ll roll to the ground.”
“… Can… can you not speak so suddenly in the future…”
As Xu Qingzhi spoke, she reached out to touch the side of the bed. Indeed, she almost fell to the ground. If she fell asleep at night and didn’t know, she would turn over and there would be no doubt…
She had some lingering fears. After weighing the pros and cons, she moved to the middle of the bed.
Li Mo only snorted at her “suggestion”. “Haven’t you always been bold? Now, I can scare you just by breathing?”
Xu Qingzhi pulled the blanket tightly and said, “I’m not used to it…”
Li Mo was speechless.
Li Mo didn’t say anything else. Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and shrank into the blanket. Under the light of the night lamp, she could vaguely see Li Mo’s handsome face in the darkness.
She had always been a superficial beauty. If not for Limo’s face, she wouldn’t have noticed him back then.
That was to be expected.
When she opened a door and stepped in, her second foot would naturally follow suit. Then, she would walk further and further into the “deep alley”.
Sometimes, feelings were really emotional.
Once she reached a certain level, she would lose control and not follow reason.
If someone asked, what was the most willful thing in the world?
She thought that it must be something like feelings.
The dim light reflected on his well-defined face. In the past few years, he had walked out of school and taken over the huge Li Corporation. His years of experience had made him more stable and cold.
If only she had withdrawn herself earlier.
However, there were some things that she couldn’t get and she had to covet. As time passed, it became an obsession.
Her lips twitched slightly. She had never dared to imagine that one day, she would really look at this face from such a close distance.
She adjusted her head to a more comfortable position and stared at Li Mo’s face. In the end, her eyelids fluttered and she gradually fell asleep.
After a long while, when he sensed that the breathing beside him had stabilized, the man slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes were hidden in the darkness, but his gaze landed on the face of the woman who was already sound asleep.
This face… was really a disaster.
She was so annoying even when she was asleep.
Raising his hand, he gently brushed the hair away from her nose.
She was a young lady who had been nurtured since she was young. Even her sleeping posture seemed to have been specially trained.
His fingers accidentally brushed against the tip of her nose. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head slightly. Her body moved a few inches towards him.
Her unique fragrance was even clearer now.
His mind wavered slightly as he looked at the body that was almost buried in his arms. It was… a pity.
—
In the morning, Xu Qingzhi was woken up by an alarm.
Usually, she wouldn’t force herself to wake up too early, but today, she had to wake up early to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Frowning from the noise, she closed her eyes and fumbled for her phone. However, her hand felt warmth.
Something was swaying in front of her, and even her head seemed to be moving.
Xu Qingzhi opened her eyes abruptly and saw Li Mo’s frowning face.
She gasped and before she could react, Li Mo opened his eyes.
“…”
She was resting her head on his arm, her entire body in his embrace. More importantly, her hand…
His fingers curled unconsciously. Sensing something, he lowered his gaze to look at her.
After pausing for two seconds, he reached out to lift the blanket…
Xu Qingzhi didn’t even have time to retract her hand.
At this moment, she felt even more ashamed.
It was normal if she didn’t sleep well at night and fell asleep in his arms.
But, her hand… How did she manage to reach into his pajamas and touch his chest?
Li Mo stared at him for a long time before looking up at him.
“Xu Qingzhi.”
His voice was still hoarse from waking up.
“Huh?”
“You’re taking liberties with me so early in the morning?”
Xu Qingzhi blushed and quickly pulled her hand out of his pajamas.
“I just woke up too. This was definitely done unconsciously after I fell asleep last night. How could I… be a hooligan…”
Li Mo snorted and said, “The things you do unconsciously at night are really different. You can even dig your hands into other people’s clothes.”
Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched. “Unconscious means unconscious. Anyway, I can’t do anything about it…”
Li Mo stared at her.
She stared back at him.
She had a clear conscience.
After a long while, Li Mo’s eyes shifted to their positions.
Xu Qingzhi was still lying on Limo’s arm.
If others were to see the two of them now, they would definitely be convinced that they were a loving couple.
Xu Qingzhi also realized the situation and an unnatural look flashed across her eyes.
The alarm on her phone rang for the second time. She took the opportunity to sit up and find her phone. She turned off the ringtone and got out of bed.
With her back facing Li Mo, she tidied her clothes, looking embarrassed.
What exactly happened last night?
She had always been well-behaved when she slept.
Why did she end up like that with Limo the next day?
Could it be that she had really missed him for too long, so she sleepwalked and groped him at night?
Her lips twitched. If that was the case, Xu Qingzhi, you’re really hopeless.
Closing her eyes, she rubbed her stomach out of habit and went to the washroom.
When she came out again, Li Mo was no longer there.
She was in a hurry, so she didn’t think much of it. She hurriedly tidied up the bed, dressed up, and went downstairs. She added dog food and water to Little Moon before rushing out with her keys.
Limo’s car was parked at the entrance.
