Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Xia Feiqing’s eyes were either bright or dark, and he looked at her with a sideways glance, “So, you’re planning to sleep in the study all this month?”
“… hmmm.” And what else?
“What are you afraid of?” Xia Feiqing moved a little closer to her, his eyes looking into hers.
His breath forced over, especially dangerous, she subconsciously wanted to retreat some, but the dim light, such an ambiguous atmosphere, swept her like a whirlpool. It was as if she had been struck by evil, and she was somewhat unable to move.
Lashes, fluttering, she spoke sheepishly, “I’m not afraid …”
He quirked his lips in a smirk, “Sure you’re not afraid?”
“What … is there to be afraid of?” Her voice was thin, her breathing slightly labored, “The doctor said … not that …”
This time, he was really smiling. How come he hadn’t found this clumsy woman so adorable before? A trap, casually winding herself in.
“It’s good that you’re not afraid, so sleep in the bedroom, that’s it. As you said, we can’t have that. I’ll be very obedient to the doctor and won’t eat you!”
Zhao Lanlan was a bit confused. How did it become sleeping in his room for a good reason?
“Do you want to go back to your room to sleep now?” Xia Feiqing rubbed his brows, somewhat tired, and spoke languidly, “I tossed and turned too late last night, and I’ve been busy all day today, so I’m a bit sleepy.”
Tossing around too late last night? It wasn’t even his own fault!
Zhao Lanlan couldn’t help but think of the image of the two people lingering last night, a little chagrined, and feeling dry mouth, and even more afraid to sleep in the same room with him. Only said, “You go to sleep first, I slept all afternoon today, I’m in high spirits now.”
Xia Feiqing looked at her.
Her eyes flickered, avoiding it and falling back to the TV. He grunted uncertainly, “What are you thinking?”
“… What?” She pretended to be at a loss.
“Thinking about last night when we were together?”
“…” Zhao Lanlan was a little embarrassed. When had he gotten so good that he could see through her heart?
“Don’t think about it, even if you want it, I won’t fulfill you anymore.” Xia Feiqing said playfully.
Her face reddened, “Who wants it? I didn’t … ah … what are you doing? Put me down!”
The whole person has been picked up by him horizontally. She let out a cry of surprise and punched his shoulder in annoyance, but he just let her have her way, and only reminded her in a low voice, “If you’re not afraid of waking up my mom, just be a little louder.”
“…” Sure enough, after he said this, she silenced her voice. People also good behavior, no longer toss and turn, let him so hold.
Xia Feiqing carried her to the bed, and she was still a bit uncomfortable. He asked, “Have you taken a shower? I brought your luggage over, do you want to change into a set of pajamas?”
“Uh-huh.” Zhao Lanlan climbed off the bed again and opened her suitcase.
He really wasn’t a packer and the suitcase was a mess. Those lace bottoms and corsets were thrown at the top. She was a little embarrassed and subconsciously hid her intimate clothes with other clothes.
Although they had been a couple before, however, they didn’t usually have many opportunities for intimacy other than in bed. She was still a bit uncomfortable in front of him.
Xia Feiqing sat on the bed, hugging his chest, watching her handwork with interest, “Have you really grown up there?”
“…” She simply ignored him and took her pajamas to the shower.
“Well, it should be half a cup size bigger.” Xia Feiqing’s line of sight fell on her breasts, his hand also frivolously compared to a posture. Her small face reddened, shy and annoyed, not good-naturedly took the pillow on the bed and threw him. He took it with one hand, not only not annoyed, but also ‘haha’ laughed, his laughter was refreshing and filled the entire room.
She didn’t look back and headed straight for the bathroom.
Behind him, he seemed to be in an extremely good mood, and his smile was not retracted. Until that back disappeared behind the bathroom door, Xia Feiqing headed for the bed and still felt satisfied.
He’d forgotten how long it had been since he’d laughed as openly as he had today. It was amazing how good it felt to have her there. If it hadn’t been for this time of loss, I’m afraid, he really wouldn’t have known.
Zhao Lanlan wasn’t that well-behaved. While Xia Feiqing was taking a shower, she quietly took the pillow herself and headed to the study to sleep. Afraid that he would come in again, she directly unlocked the door.
So …
When Xia Feiqing came out of the bathroom full of joy, the empty bed in the bedroom made him stay for two seconds. Not caring about his wet hair either, barefoot, he sank his steps towards the study.
A twist of the hand, and sure enough, the door was locked.
“Lanlan!” He knocked on the door.
“…” Zhao Lanlan rolled over on the narrow bed, ignoring him.
“Zhao Lanlan!” He sounded a little more serious.
She bit her lip and continued to keep quiet. Definitely don’t compromise just like that!
“The way you’ve been keeping quiet like this makes it impossible for me to determine whether you’re good or bad in there! Speak up!”
“You’re so noisy …,” Zhao Lanlan poked her head out from under the covers and deliberately muttered in dissatisfaction, “I’m sleeping.”
Xia Feiqing did not say anything more, footsteps gradually far away. Zhao Lanlan slightly relieved, rolled up the thin quilt, looking out the window at the cool moonlight, suddenly again feel in such a night sleep alone have a kind of indescribable loneliness.
I think I’m used to squeezing into a bed with Hope, so I don’t feel comfortable with it now.
Just don’t think about it too much!
She closed her eyes to keep her mind off of someone, but there was always his figure running outward in her mind, and his hearty laugh at the end …
So clear, even she was infected.
It wasn’t that Xia Feiqing wasn’t lost and frustrated. Having gotten a taste of it last night, he coveted the feeling of holding her in his arms as he fell asleep. But …
She’s real stubborn.
Then let her be stubborn, as long as she still wants to stay here and be good to him.
Xia Feiqing, from the bedside drawer, rummaged for a large key, pulled open the bedroom door, and headed for the study.
Zhao Lanlan tried very hard to put herself to sleep, but the sound of footsteps sounded outside the door again. She instantly woke up and subconsciously lifted the covers and got out of bed.
She pressed herself against the door panel and listened, making sure the footsteps stopped at her door. It seemed to be him again!
She remembered what Mrs. Xia said about tossing him around, and made a mental calculation that no matter how much he knocked on the door, she wouldn’t open it. As a result …
The door lock rattled a few times and she jawed, gripping the doorknob. She’d forgotten this was his house and he had keys to all the rooms.
The door was twisted open in a flash, and naturally she couldn’t avoid him, being the first to peek her face through the crack and look at him, “I’m all asleep.”
“Let me in.” Xia Feiqing didn’t care that much, and didn’t dare to force the door to push, worrying that the door panel would hit him.
“I’m sleepy.”
“Just said in the hall that he didn’t sleep.”
“Sleepiness is supposed to come fast in pregnant women.” Zhao Lanlan weaseled with him.
Xia Feiqing stuck his hand into the doorway and took her slender wrist in a direct grip. She was startled and was pulled aside by him. He pushed the door completely open, and without entering, he directly ripped her out of the study.
No, to be precise, it should be led out. He didn’t dare to be too rough, after all, she was now under key protection.
