Seeing Xia Ning uneasy, Qiao Yu paused to recall what he had said just now. Seeming to think of something, he also became a bit embarra.s.sed instantly. The atmosphere of the room was a little stifling.

After being silent for a while, he looked at Xia Ning and said, “Are you used to sleeping on the outside, or inside?”

Although they were married for almost a year, they never slept on the same bed. So he did not know her habit. He felt ashamed now.

Xia Ning moved her eyebrows and answered, “I'll sleep inside.”

“Ok.” Qiao Yu nodded. He paused for a moment, and then said, “Go to bed and lie down.” This was what he actually wanted to say just now.

Xia Ning nodded, ignored the previous embarra.s.sment, lifted the quilt and laid inside.

As soon as she laid inside the quilt, she felt the spot beside her sinking and the corner of the quilt lifting. She looked away by instinct and laid inside the quilt slowly.

“I'll turn off the light.” Qiao Yu said next to her.

Xia Ning's eyes dropped as she answered lightly, “Ok.”

Then, the light was turned off and the man beside her also laid down.

The room was completely quiet, only the two people's breath could be heard.

Xia Ning closed her eyes but could not fall asleep. How could it not affect her that there was another person next to her?

The moonlight shone in and the room got bright. She gave a sidelong glance and seemed to see the outline of the man near her. She felt somewhat uneasy and turned to lie on her side.

After a while, the man beside her moved close to her with his hands around her waist and embraced her tightly.

Feeling the solid, warm chest behind her, Xia Ning instantly froze. She clenched the quilt tightly, seeming to endure something quietly.

“I have a press conference tomorrow.” She implicated that she wanted a good rest tonight.

“I will just embrace you. We'll do nothing tonight.” A man's low voice sounded behind her.

Xia Ning's eyes fell. Could the two hearts be as close as the intimate position?

“What is tomorrow's press conference about?” Qiao Yu's voice came again.

“I'm just going to explain my relations.h.i.+p with the Shen family.”

“Oh!” Qiao Yu answered, “If you need me to do something, tell me. Don't hide anything from me.”

Xia Ning answered, “Okay.”

The two said nothing more. Xia Ning fell asleep and turned to face Qiao Yu unwittingly.

Seeing that she frowned slightly even in her sleep, Qiao Yu raised his hand and wanted to flatten her eyebrows. But as he was afraid of disturbing her, he stopped.

He kissed her forehead softly and also closed his eyes to sleep.

When Xia Ning woke up in the morning, the spot beside her was empty. Qiao Yu had already got up. Maybe he went to work.

She subconsciously relaxed. Her relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Yu developed too fast. At least, she could not completely get used to the existence of such a person next to her during this period of time.

After tidying up, Xia Ning was about to go to the company. Zheng Ziming had called her just now to say that they had completed the preparation for the press conference.

Enoch knew that Xia Ning had brought her fresh clothes here. He also saw his parents staying together yesterday. So he seemed to no longer worry that Xia Ning would not come back. When Xia Ning went out in the morning, he waved to her and asked her to return early to play with him.

Seeing Enoch smiling, Xia Ning became tender. He was smiling.

As long as he could be happy, everything she did was worth it.
