Chapter 770: Pretending to be asleep

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

“Eaten, eaten.” Xia Feiqing answered perfunctorily, only asking, “Where’s Lan Lan? Sleeping?”
“Went in early, probably already asleep at this moment.” Mrs. Xia thought and added: “Today the whole day mood is quite low, may be because you travel did not say with her, she is angry at this moment.”
Xia Feiqing smiled bitterly, “No, she’s not that petty.”
The truth is, it’s not a matter of being petty. Rather, … she would not care at all about his whereabouts.
“What do you understand? Pregnant women are the most emotional and can’t tell you what they’re angry about and you’re still in the dark.” Mrs. Xia said.
“It won’t.” Xia Feiqing said, “Mom, you go to sleep, I’ll go in and check on her.”
“Uh-huh.” Mrs. Xia naturally didn’t disturb their world of two, wrapped up in her pajamas and went back to the bedroom again.
Inside the room.
Zhao Lanlan wasn’t actually asleep. She heard their conversation even more clearly.
Xia Feiqing concluded that she would not be angry, then, if she really angry, it means petty? But …
Is she really too cheap?
Being so cold to him on the phone today, if she said she wasn’t angry, even she wouldn’t believe it. Or is it true that pregnant women are too emotional?
His footsteps, step by step, approached, and the dim lamp on her bed turned off, curling up and closing her eyes to pretend to be asleep. The door to her room was pulled open from the outside, and the intrusion of a masculine scent throughout the room caused her to tense up at once, her heart beating unusually fast.
***
What’s wrong with her?
“Sleeping?” A low, tentative voice asked. He gently unscrewed the bedside lamp.
The edge of the bed sagged slightly and he sat down on the edge. She was sleeping facing inward, her slender back facing him. Xia Feiqing half bent down and looked at her side face out of concentration from above.
The whole little face was shrouded in the dim light, especially white, like a petal of beautiful cherry blossoms.
Xia Feiqing emotionally reached out to lift the hair spread out on her cheeks, his fingers touched her face, and the faint warmth made him unable to resist lingering.
Fingers couldn’t help but rub over her cheeks, the bridge of her upturned nose, and down …
It landed on her soft red lips.
He was beginning to miss the taste of her. Lips and tongue so soft, so sweet …
What to do?
He suddenly wanted to kiss her.
The last few days had been all about holding back, forcing himself to fulfill his promise to her and not cross that line. But this was kind of a real test for him.
Especially, after coming back from a day away, even more desperate to kiss her and be close to her …
With a thought, he bent his head, his lips leaning closer and closer to hers.
She suddenly turned around and opened her eyes. In those eyes, there was no confusion at all, they were crystal clear. And, looking at him just like that at the moment, there was clearly a hint of panic.
She was simply pretending to be asleep!
At that moment, Xia Feiqing was like a person who was caught red-handed being a thief, his entire body shook for a moment and froze there on the spot. Somewhat embarrassed.
Two people’s lips, only an inch apart.
He had eyes that deep, staring straight at her like he was trying to melt her whole being.
Breath held, she felt like she was going to suffocate. Had she known this would be the case, it would have been better for one to pretend to be asleep!
She was rambling, wondering how to break the situation between the two at the moment. But then he breathed heavily and suddenly bent his head down for a heavy kiss.
In fact, his reason was constantly reminding him to back off, not to kiss, but that desire in his body took over in an instant.
“Mmm…” The kiss, as sharp and ferocious as a storm, caused Zhao Lanlan to gasp low in shock.
Thinking she was going to refuse, he cupped her face in his hands and once again caught her lips directly and fiercely.
Zhao Lanlan was immediately dazed by the kiss, her eyes slowly closing. Her body gradually became weak, and she could only helplessly climb onto his arm.
But …
This person, just like a fierce beast, how to kiss her can not kiss enough like. From the heavy demanding kiss just now, it gradually turned into a lingering sucking, and then turned to send his tongue into her sweet sandalwood mouth to depict her neat shell teeth …
She gasped, her eyes moistening from the kiss.
Xia Feiqing temporarily let go of her tongue, but his lips were still fondly pressed against hers. The tips of each other’s noses, touching each other’s.
For a long time, she was still panting, her hand always tugging at his collar, not letting go.
Half propped up, he asked, regarding his lust, “Why are you pretending to be asleep?”
The voice, low and husky, was unmistakably ambiguous and alarming in the dim light.
She couldn’t answer and could only look at him with half narrowed watery eyes. It was this one look that made his body tense up and burn, and with a heavy gasp, he gave an ambiguous light bite on her lips, “What’s the tantrum with me?”
“I didn’t …” she bit her lip lightly. It was already a little red and swollen from that one kiss he had just sucked on it, like a tantalizing peach.
“Do you care?” He asked suddenly. The two men were still so close, their breath intertwined with each other’s.
“What?” His clueless words left her completely baffled. Eyes wavered, adding a bit of confusion.
“I was traveling and didn’t tell you in advance. Do you care?”
Her hand, slowly loosened from between his collar. Eventually, she averted her face a bit, and his to avoid it. Pulling the covers over herself again, before answering, “Originally … you were under no obligation to talk to me.”
Xia Feiqing couldn’t help but laugh.
She was curled up again, her back to him.
Despite what she said, but, wasn’t she responding to his question just now with her body? She was genuinely angry, and, well, pissed off.
Xia Feiqing said nothing and stood up.
He’s leaving?
The bed bounced back up, and Zhao Lanlan’s heart tightened for a moment. However, in the next instant, only his tall body was seen coming around to this side of the bed.
She was surprised when he leaned over and scooped her right out from under the covers. And then the lithe body was placed in his lap.
Her heart missed a beat and she forgot to even struggle as she was wrapped up in his warmth.
“Tell me if you care. Next time, I’ll be the first to talk to you.” Xia Feiqing separated her and let her sit on his lap, the two of them sitting face to face.
This pose …
Zhao Lanlan was disorganized. She didn’t even care to listen to what he said, her body tensed up and she only cared about distancing herself from him.
“This time, it’s me who’s wrong, I’ll apologize first.” Xia Feiqing opened his mouth seriously, his large palm rubbing her slender waist carelessly, but his eyes were always fixed on her, “I originally wanted to say … to you but, I think you probably won’t care. Or rather, you wouldn’t even want to know my whereabouts either.”
Zhao Lanlan bit her lip in chagrin.
