Tong Qiao ran to the door of the nursery and stopped in her tracks. She calmed herself down and gently pushed the door open.
There was a wall lamp in the room, and the dim orange light filled the child-like room. The room was very quiet. Tong Qiao walked lightly to the crib. In the crib, An 'an was sleeping soundly with her little mouth slightly pouted. Her breathing was even and smooth, and there were no symptoms of a cold.
Tong Qiao reached out and touched An 'an's forehead. There was no fever.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with her. Why was she arguing?
Auntie Lin woke up when Tong Qiao ran to the door. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep for a while. When she felt that it was about time, she opened her eyes and said in a slightly sleepy voice, "Qiao 'er, you're back?"
Tong Qiao said a little embarrassedly, "Auntie Lin, did I wake you up?"
Auntie Lin got up from the bed. "It's okay. An 'an is not noisy now. It's still early. You should go to sleep."
Tong Qiao was still a little worried. She reached out a slender finger and placed it in An 'an's slightly open palm. The little girl seemed to feel it and held Tong Qiao's finger tightly.
Tong Qiao's fingers were surrounded by soft and chubby little hands. Her heart melted into a puddle of water. "I'm not sleepy. An 'an was so noisy last night that you probably didn't sleep well. I'll stay here and watch over her. You should go to sleep."
Auntie Lin lowered her eyes. That was a sign of guilt. An 'an drank milk in the middle of the night last night and fell asleep obediently. Lu Jinshen asked her to lie in order to trick Tong Qiao into coming back. "I'm old and don't sleep much. I can't sleep when I wake up. You look very tired. Go and rest. An' an probably didn't see you before going to bed and was a little noisy. Now that you're back, she won't make any more noise."
Tong Qiao suddenly felt very guilty. She actually left An 'an to play games all night because she was angry with Lu Jinshen. She was not a good mother.
Children were innocent when adults quarreled.
Tong Qiao leaned over and kissed the back of An 'an's hand. She said softly, "I'm sorry. Mommy won't leave you behind in the future."
Aunt Lin walked to Tong Qiao's side and patted her shoulder gently. "Go to sleep. I'm here."
Tong Qiao nodded. She thought that since Auntie Lin was awake and couldn't sleep, she might as well go to sleep first. She would take care of the children at noon and let Auntie Lin take a break.
When Tong Qiao came out of the baby's room, the sky was not completely bright. In the study, light poured out from the window.
Lu Jinshen is in the study?
What was he doing in the study at this hour?
Or did he sleep in the study last night?
Tong Qiao looked away. What did Lu Jinshen's matter have to do with her?
Arriving at the door of the master bedroom, Tong Qiao pushed the door open but did not enter. She stood at the door and looked into the room. In the dim light of dawn, she could see that the quilt on the bed was neatly folded and there was no one inside.
Only then did Tong Qiao feel at ease. She closed the door, locked the door, turned on the lights, took a shower, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Lu Jinshen saw that the lights in the master bedroom were turned off. He sat in the study for a while before arriving at the door. He held the door handle with his large hand and pressed it down. The door was actually locked from the inside!
Lu Jinshen frowned and went to the baby's room. He asked Auntie Lin for the spare key to the house, opened the door, and entered the room.
When he came to the bedside, he could hear the even breathing of the person on the bed. In the dim light of dawn, the woman's sleeping face was quiet and beautiful.
Lu Jinshen stood by the bed and stared at the person on the bed for a few minutes. He turned around and walked into the bathroom with light steps. After taking a shower, he gently lifted the quilt, got into bed, and lay down beside Tong Qiao.
He turned his head slightly to look at her. She was sleeping so deeply that she was unaware.
Lu Jinshen gathered his courage and approached Tong Qiao. He wrapped his arms around her waist and smelled the familiar fragrance on her body. His heart seemed to have settled down. Only then did he calm down, close his eyes, and go to sleep.
Tong Qiao had always been comfortable sleeping and was not used to being hugged. Even though she had been intimate with Lu Jinshen, she would still struggle out of his arms when it was time to sleep.
Now that she was being hugged, even though Tong Qiao was asleep, her brows were still furrowed. She struggled in her sleep but was unable to break free. Because she was too tired, she endured the discomfort and quickly fell into a deep sleep again.
When Tong Qiao woke up, it was almost eleven o 'clock. The sun was high in the sky, and bright rays of light shone in through the gaps in the curtains that were not completely closed.
Tong Qiao habitually wanted to stretch, but she could not lift her arms. She opened her eyes and turned her head. The first thing she saw was the man's deep and handsome face. She blinked twice. Why was he sleeping here?
When did he sleep here?
Why did she not feel anything at all?
She shifted her gaze away from his face and looked at the door. She had locked the door last night. How did he get in?
Wait a minute. None of this was important. What was important was that he was hugging her!
Hugging her!!
No wonder she felt like she was being pressed down by something last night and did not sleep well. So it was because of this stinky man.
Tong Qiao rudely flung Lu Jinshen's hand away from her waist. She was about to kick him off the bed, but just as she lifted her leg, her ankle was grabbed by a strong hand. Then, the man's deep and lazy voice floated down from above.
"Qiao 'er, are you trying to murder your husband?"
F * ck, whose husband are you?
Tong Qiao really wanted to scold him, but she held it in. She was a woman with good manners. "Who allowed you to climb into my bed? Get off! "
"Qiao 'er …"
"I told you to get off!" Tong Qiao raised her head and glared at Lu Jinshen.
Lu Jinshen exerted a little force and sandwiched Tong Qiao's leg between his long legs. He quickly caught Tong Qiao's fist with one hand and held her small waist with the other. He pressed her firmly against his body.
Just like that, Tong Qiao was firmly imprisoned in Lu Jinshen's arms.
Tong Qiao struggled with all her might. There was a huge difference in strength between a man and a woman. Lu Jinshen was also from the military and had a body of iron-like muscles. She could not break free at all.
She could only gnash her teeth and glare at Lu Jinshen, trying to pierce through him with her gaze. "Lu Jinshen, let go of your dirty hands!"
Lu Jinshen frowned. "I took a shower last night. It's not dirty."
"You've hugged another woman's hand. It's dirty no matter how you wash it."
"Qiao 'er, there's a reason for what happened last night. Calm down first. I can explain."
Tong Qiao sneered. "I asked you to explain last night, but you pretended to be mute. Can you explain now? Did you think of an excuse after thinking about it all night? Lu Jinshen, do you think I'm a fool? "
"Qiao 'er …"
"Shut up. I get angry when I hear you call my name." Tong Qiao struggled with all her might. The feeling of wanting to beat someone up but not being able to beat them was really disgusting. The anger in her heart burned more and more under Lu Jinshen's forceful confinement. "Lu Jinshen, you better let go of me. Don't challenge my bottom line."
"I can let go of you, but you have to promise to listen to my explanation …"
"You don't have the right to negotiate with me. I don't want to listen to your explanation. Let go!" Tong Qiao's eyes were burning with anger.
Lu Jinshen felt that Tong Qiao's body was trembling slightly. She was angry. She had a fiery personality. If he continued to use force, he was afraid that it would backfire.
Lu Jinshen had just let go of Tong Qiao when he felt a dull pain in his chest. In the next second, his whole body flew backward.
