Xia Ning woke up the following morning, feeling completely wasted. The spot next to her was empty. She then recalled hearing him say goodbye when she was half-awake.
Both of them went a little wild the previous night and the activity lasted until after midnight. She had to beg him in tears to make him stop.
When she saw the love bites all over her skin, Xia Ning sighed in resignation. She still had an event to go to. How was she supposed to cover those marks up?
Xia Ning left her room after she got dressed. Lu Chuan was already waiting for her outside.
He looked her up and down. "Ready to go?"
Xia Ning found his look rather odd. She quickly checked herself, then asked, "What is it?"
"Nothing. We only have one event to go to today and I thought you can take some rest here tonight and go back tomorrow."
Xia Ning didn't know what to say. For some reason, she felt that there was more to his actual words.
