Sleeping in the Same Bed
"Your Excellency, the old man has appeared." The internal line was connected and a rigid voice came from the communicator in his earlobe.
Adam's dark red eyes darkened and his voice was incomparably cold. "Send me a picture of the old man."
"Yes."
Soon, a document was sent to his computer. The moment Adam opened it, his eyes suddenly turned cold and his hands trembled slightly. He stared at the screen and his lips curled into a cold smile.
"I really didn't expect it to be him!"
Intermittent images suddenly appeared in his mind.
Among the bodyguards protecting Prince Rovino, a middle-aged man brushed past him with a terrifying aura. That scene left a deep impression on Adam.
Then, the image changed and Rovino's car fell off a cliff. The car was destroyed and he died.
Everything happened too quickly. It was unimaginable that the wise and powerful Rovino would be plotted against one day and the consequences would be so severe.
When Adam arrived with the rescue team, the car had already been salvaged from the sea but there was no one inside. A few days later, Rovino's body was found on the other side of the beach. At that time, his body had already festered and was being eaten by fish. Freya and the infant Lilith were nowhere to be found.
To Adam, who swore to protect Rovino's family for the rest of his life, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
At that time, he saw the middle-aged man's figure flash by again. After joining the J Organisation, Adam investigated the execution team responsible for killing Rovino. Almost everyone involved in that incident was killed by him but the mastermind, the middle-aged man, was nowhere to be found.
Adam had searched for more than ten years, but that man seemed to have disappeared into thin air. And now, he had found traces of this man once again.
Although more than ten years had passed, he could still recognize the man at a glance.
Momo's father was also the mastermind behind the murder of Qiao Qiao's father, Rovino.
"Hahaha … I really didn't have to put in the effort to get it." Adam looked at the blurry figure on the computer screen as if he was possessed. His eyes were burning with passion as he squeezed out word by word through gritted teeth. "After waiting for so many years, I can finally avenge Her Highness!"
The word 'avenge' was said with great force through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, in Qiao Qiao's Holy Glory Palace.
Because of the hand that suddenly reached over and the sound of steady breathing that came from behind her, Qiaoqiao's sleepiness immediately disappeared.
Is this person asleep? Otherwise, with his current attitude, why would he touch her? He probably couldn't wait to hide.
The hot breath behind her stimulated Qiao Qiao's back. She felt as if there was an electric current running through her body, making her hair stand on end and giving her an indescribable feeling of numbness. Qiao Qiao didn't know that sharing a bed with He Shaochen would make her react so strongly. His breathing lingered in her ears and she listened carefully. She became more and more energetic and didn't want to sleep at all.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. As expected, sharing a bed with He Shaochen, who had yet to recover his memories, made her feel very uncomfortable. She shouldn't have been so careless.
She couldn't help but move to the side, hoping to calm herself down. However, whenever she thought of him behind her, her heart beat faster and faster.
As long as she could still hear his breathing, as long as she could still feel his hot breath, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She could only let her imagination run wild. Then, she leaned against the edge of the bed and came into contact with the cold air outside the blanket. It seemed that this was the only way she could calm herself down. Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh. She was extremely nervous here, but the person involved didn't have this problem at all. What was going on?
Gradually, Qiao Qiao fell asleep in a daze.
Because she was lying on her side on the edge of the bed, her sleeping posture wasn't very good. Her body shook and under the influence of gravity, she rolled off the bed …
Just as she was about to touch the ground, a large hand quickly pulled her back and wrapped her in the blanket. He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but sigh. If he had been a little slower, this woman would have rolled off the bed.
She was clearly an adult, so why did she like to roll around in her sleep like a child? If she really fell, the child would definitely be in trouble.
Through the pale moonlight, He Shaochen carefully looked at Qiao Qiao's face.
The corners of her eyebrows were curved, slender and beautiful. Her eyelashes were long and curly, fluttering like butterfly wings from time to time. She had a small and cute nose, perfectly curved lips, and white jade-like cheeks under the moonlight. He could even see the fine hair on her face. She was without a doubt the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Such a beautiful woman should be carefully cared for like an exquisite utensil in a museum, and not tortured every day in different ways.
Qiao Qiao couldn't sleep because He Shaochen was by her side, and He Shaochen couldn't sleep either.
Staying by her side, he just wanted to take her into his arms, or even knead her into his bones. He Shaochen couldn't sleep as he smelled the faint fragrance on her body. He carefully observed her through the moonlight, so entranced and fascinated. In the end, he was no longer satisfied with just looking. Instead, he slowly reached out and carefully touched her cheek.
Starting from her thin eyebrows, he traced the outline of her face bit by bit, and finally stopped at her pale pink lips.
He wanted to get closer to her. He wanted to be closer, even closer.
When He Shaochen came back to his senses, he was already kissing her lips. His pupils suddenly contracted, and then he opened them again. When he found that she hadn't woken up, he let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but bitterly smile. What was wrong with him now?
He had clearly decided to reject her, but he couldn't help but lust after her beauty.
He took a deep breath, and then let go of her. Then he turned his back to Qiao Qiao and forced himself to sleep. If this continued, he would definitely lose control.
The next day.
When Qiao Qiao woke up, He Shaochen was no longer by her side. She reached out and touched the side. It was cold. It seemed that he had been up for a while.
Qiao Qiao didn't know what to feel at the moment. She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. Then she got up and summoned her maid. She asked, "Have you seen Mr. He?"
"Mr. He woke up an hour ago. He should be running in the morning now."
"Running in the morning? How come I didn't know he had such a habit? " Qiao Qiao murmured. Suddenly, something rang in her mind. Then she asked, "Is he going to the side palace?"
