Asking that last sentence, he looked up searchingly at Zhao Lanlan and asked again, “Have you ever really known me?”
Yes, this wife, who has been married to him for so long, claims that he cheated her out of her affections, but has she ever stood in the position of a wife for a single day to truly understand him?
“Your mind has always been hidden from me – if I really knew you through and through, I should have known that you approached me to avenge Si Ling -”
Xia Feiqing’s eyes deepened, seemingly disliking this topic. She smiled bitterly and frankly met his eyes, “For you, although deeper is not clear, but once as a wife, I at least understand you – sleep love to sleep on the right side of the position, do not like hair dryers, do not love microwave turned out of the meal, do not like celery, parsley, onions, before going to work, must drink a cup of hot coffee, coffee with milk and no sugar …”
She slowly detailed these tiny minutiae of her life, her soft, light voice resounding through the hotel room like a trickling stream flowing through his heart. In the light, her gentle little face was so beautiful that it made his heart pound.
An endless sadness suddenly arose in his heart, and intuitively, he seemed to have personally lost something very important and cherished.
“Also, your favorite magazine …”
“Enough!” Xia Feiqing suddenly raised his voice to interrupt her words, all sorts of complex emotions intertwined, causing his voice to raise slightly. Zhao Lanlan was immersed in her own topic, and was also startled by this sudden shout, looking at him strangely.
Obviously aware that he had lost some control of his emotions, he looked at her and his face eased.
“I … never mind, talking about all this now …” He was a little unsure of how to express himself, and simply didn’t take the conversation any further.
She also just realized she was talking a bit too much, “And yeah, those things really don’t mean much to us right now. It’s just that you just asked, so I just blurted out …”
“Forget it, you blow-dry your hair, I’ll go take a shower first.” Zhao Lanlan inexplicably felt a bit lost. That sudden feeling, which sprouted immediately after remembering the past, couldn’t be stopped even if one wanted to.
It’s amazing how much she can remember about two people she once thought she had few memories of, now that she thinks about it.
She fished her pajamas out of her suitcase and hurried toward the bathroom to stop herself from lingering in this mood any longer. It was uncalled for!
“Lanlan.” Walking to the bathroom door, she was abruptly called by him from behind. Her movement to push the door gave a slight lurch, and she heard him speak somberly, “I didn’t mean it that way when I interrupted you just now.”
Zhao Lanlan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, she lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, remembering her parents who were still in prison, she didn’t turn around, she only calmly said, “It’s just a very casual topic, you don’t need to explain. There was no point in the first place.”
She said it so lightly that it made his last remark seem a little redundant and ridiculous.
Xia Feiqing frowned, watching her pull open the bathroom door without looking back to go in, watching that door being heavily closed. Heart, just like suddenly by that door to the heavy clip as if, boring pain boring pain. He took the hair dryer and threw it on the bed with a backhanded annoyance, lying down with the back of his head resting on his two hands.
Staring at the ceiling, he pondered.
When he wasn’t around, Zhao Lanlan was too scared to even take a shower. Now it was better, with him at the door. However, she didn’t dare to wash too meticulously, afraid that he would blow dry her hair and leave. So, after drenching her body haphazardly and taking a towel to dry her body, she put on her pajamas and was about to come out.
When I was getting dressed, I looked in the mirror and saw my slightly bulging belly.
When wearing nothing, her belly was still a bit obvious. Luckily, she was very thin, and the loose clothes went up her body and basically hid it. But …
The baby was growing in her belly day by day, and one day she wouldn’t be able to hide it. By then, when she met Xia Feiqing on the street, how would she explain? Shouldn’t she really find another one for herself?
Since the divorce, colleagues are all enthusiastic matchmaking, although the object is no longer unmarried young talent, but the second marriage over the man is more mature and stable, accept her and the child is not a difficult thing.
Looks like …
It was time for her to really plan for her children and baby.
Without thinking any further, she grabbed her pajamas and pulled them on before heading straight out. Once outside, she was startled by the man already curled up on the right side of the bed.
He actually made this place look like home and slept under the covers in a big way. And …
Didn’t you say you were coming to borrow a hair dryer? Why is your hair still dry? Don’t you have a headache if you sleep like this?
No!
That wasn’t her concern. What she should care about is why he’s asleep here.
“Hey …,” Zhao Lanlan tapped him, he didn’t move.
She just had to raise her voice and move a little closer to him, “Hey, wake up.”
“You slept in the wrong place!”
“…”
“Xia Feiqing!”
“…” He remained still, and she sat down beside him somewhat helplessly. Look at him twice, and then look out the window. Without her voice, the whole world is unusually quiet, can only hear the ear belonging to his breathing, even and shallow, sounds very peaceful.
Zhao Lanlan suddenly didn’t want to wake him up again. With him around, she at least didn’t have to constantly be on guard against thugs coming to her room.
So lost in thought that he completely failed to notice that a hand poked out from under the covers and quietly landed on the main switch of the room’s electrical circuit. And then, with a ‘pop’, the entire room steeply went dark.
“Ah!” She shrieked in shock, her entire body subconsciously burrowing in a certain direction as she shivered and fought to pat him, “Xia Feiqing! Xia Feiqing, wake up! The power is out!”
With a tightening on her waist, her entire body was suddenly pushed down onto the bed, and in the next instant, her slender body was firmly wrapped in the warm quilt. Her frightened voice stopped at first, and her breathing stopped under the too oppressive male scent. The body, stiff, was moved like a stone before moving with difficulty.
When she came back to the situation at this moment, she reacted strongly and struggled, lifting the covers to jump out of bed. However, as if the person beside her had insight into her thoughts, he pressed down with his long arm, holding her down firmly.
“Xia Feiqing, let go of me!” Her voice raised, obviously a little angry.
“Since the power is out, go to bed!” His tone was a little stronger.
“I won’t sleep with you! Even if the power goes out, I’m not sleeping with you!” She squirmed obstinately. He was too dangerous! Danger that she had to be wary of.
Such defiance made him sink. The tone of his voice, followed by a cooler one, “Is it that even if there are thugs out here, you’re not afraid of them? Zhao Lanlan, tell me now that you’re not afraid of the thug who hasn’t been brought to justice yet, even if he shows up, you’ll be able to beat him; even if he has a weapon on him, you’ll be able to protect yourself! If you dare to say that, there’s no need for you to kick me out, I’ll go back to my own room immediately now!”
He uttered a string of words, but …
And she wilted.
