Di Xingchen felt his throat tense up and his breathing became messy. He retracted his hand like he had been shocked by electricity. He turned over to have his back face her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Wei'an patted her chest and stopped coughing.
Realizing that she was silent, Di Xingchen couldn't help but turn his head, only to make eye contact with Xia Wei'an's large, teary eyes.
Her eyes were beautiful, and tears had now welled up in them because of her violent coughing. At this moment, the gaze in her watery eyes was tender and charming as she looked at him longingly. "I miss you."
He couldn't forget the disgust and repulsion she showed when he first went to propose marriage to her. He could not forget the countless crazy things she did to escape from him. She smashed the valuable items in his home, treated the servants harshly, frequented nightclubs, and tried to portray herself as a detestable and roguish girl, all to break off her engagement with him.
Even though she had changed her attitude towards him recently and said things that made him happy, he still didn't dare to come to terms with his emotions and show her affection.
He was afraid of doing something to hurt her because of his misinterpretation and end up pushing her further and further away. Hence, at this moment, he simply turned over again silently and said, "I'm going to sleep on the couch."
"No!"
Seeing that he was going to get up, Xia Wei'an hurriedly stood up and reached out to grab his robe. She said pitifully, "I came here with the intention to give you a surprise, but I almost got strangled by you. You've already caused me trauma and we're getting married in the future, so you have to get rid of my trauma."
When Di Xingchen heard this, he quickly asked, "What do you want me to do then?"
"That's simple." Xia Wei'an smiled and said, "Hug me to sleep!"
Di Xingchen's body stiffened and he looked rather confused. Xia Wei'an, who was behind him, tugged his robe. After thinking about it, he turned around to lie down on the bed, and Xia Wei'an immediately lied down beside him in satisfaction.
She placed her thigh on his waist, threw her arms around his shoulders, and rested her head on his chest.
'Right, he said he'd hug me to sleep' As such, she pulled his arm over again and wrapped it around her waist before she closed her eyes in contentment.
Snap!
Di Xingchen turned off the desk lamp, but he couldn't fall asleep.
"Why is your heart beating so fast? Is it uncomfortable?"
Hearing Di Xingchen's heart beating like a drum, she raised her head and looked at him in the dark with concern.
"It's fine, go to sleep."
Di Xingchen's tone was calm.
She turned away from him and wrapped herself in the quilt while saying in a muffled voice, "It's so warm, we'd better sleep separately."
