Chapter 450: Chapter 449: The Joy of a Short Parting Is Sweeter Than That of a New Marriage (Chapters 446-449 Combined)
"Eh? Whose suitcase is this?" Little Treasure walked over curiously, circled around the suitcase, then stopped in front of Xiao Qing, "Mommy, is it Daddy who’s come back?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing’s body shuddered, and she pursed her lips shaking her head at Little Treasure.
Not having seen anyone, Little Treasure’s enthusiasm wasn’t high, and after making a round in the house, he went back to his room for a nap with Big Treasure.
Xiao Qing stood in the living room motionless, her peripheral vision taking in the men’s shoes and the suitcase, leading to one conclusion in her mind: Lu Jinyang was in her room!
The shoes were there, and a pair of men’s shoes were missing which weren’t in Big Treasure or Little Treasure’s room, so they could only be in hers.
Xiao Qing changed her shoes and quietly walked into the open room, and indeed, there was a man lying on her big bed, to be precise, a sleeping man.
His hands were pillowed behind his head, his clothes unchanged, socks still on.
She sighed lightly; how exhausted was he to sleep like this?
In the end, she couldn’t help herself, she crouched down, removed his socks for him, propped up his head with a pillow, adjusted the air conditioner temperature and casually pulled the blanket over him.
After all this, she found that he was still sleeping, Xiao Qing turned around, grabbed her pajamas, and walked into the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom again, she found that the man still maintained that posture, which distressed her. He was sprawled across the bed, leaving no room for her to sleep comfortably. Could it be that she had to sprawl out as well?
But she quickly dismissed the idea because she simply couldn’t fall asleep lying that way.
So, she pulled up the hem of her sleep dress to her legs, tied a knot, climbed onto the head of the bed, and grabbed Lu Jinyang’s hand, dragging him towards the pillow.
Perhaps it was inertia or something else, but Xiao Qing lost her balance and fell straight onto Lu Jinyang.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah? No, nothing~" Xiao Qing felt somewhat guilty, not daring to admit that she despised his sleeping posture.
Lu Jinyang: "!!!"
Although she had already moved away from him, at this moment she sat tight next to the man, with her head towards the direction of his feet.
She sat up and nonchalantly pointed to the pillow, "Go sleep with your head on the pillow, I can’t sleep well if you lie like that."
Lu Jinyang looked at her with groggy eyes, then actually sat up and walked towards the bathroom.
Xiao Qing: "..."
Having sat still for a moment and just about to lie down, the man’s deep voice called out, "Bring my clothes in for me."
After a moment of silence, she went to the living room, opened his suitcase, rummaged through it, found a set of casual clothes, zipped up the suitcase, and went back to the room.
She knocked on the bathroom door, which quickly opened, and she immediately turned her back.
"Help me put them inside."
Xiao Qing was speechless, "Just take them yourself."
"My hands are wet."
"Dry them off and then take them."
"I don’t have a clean towel."
Xiao Qing felt as if a flock of alpacas had just flown over her head. Dammit, there were several clean towels hanging in the bathroom, she had just used one during her shower, and he had the nerve to say there were no clean towels?!
"Take it or leave it!" Having said that, Xiao Qing tossed the clothes onto the bed and lay down on the other side, ignoring him.
Saying she was ignoring him, she nevertheless couldn’t help but prick up her ears to the sounds from the bathroom, but other than the sound of water, there were no other noises.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, imagining the scene of the man soon begging her to bring the clothes in.
Who knew, she waited for quite a while but the sound of water continued without stopping. When it finally ended, she held her breath listening for any movement from the bathroom~
Suddenly, the bed beside her dipped, the blanket was lifted, and she immediately turned her head, failing to find any word from her mental dictionary to express her emotions at the sight of the man.
A multitude of words condensed into a curse.
Xiao Qing thought, if she had a weapon at hand right now, she would have not hesitated to knock him out and then see what was going on in his mind.
Seeing her face change colors, Lu Jinyang’s eyes were full of confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"!!!" You run out undressed, isn’t it just for me to see?
"Where are the clothes?" he asked.
Staring at his face, Xiao Qing pointed to the clothes next to her without averting her eyes, then said: "Lu Jinyang, you spent all that time in there, and this is how you come out?"
She thought that if he were to lift the blanket right now, he would undoubtedly be naked underneath, no question about it. Her bath towel was sunning on the balcony, and aside from dirty clothes, there was nothing else inside to cover his body.
Lu Jinyang moved, put on his upper garment, then flipped over on the bed, furrowing his brows looking at Xiao Qing, "Where’s the other one?"
"What?" Xiao Qing played dumb.
"My underwear."
