Leaning against Duanmu Que's chest, I could feel his strong heartbeat and his soft breathing. I was tired from lying in the same position, so I turned around and saw Duanmu Que's handsome face. The way he slept was different from how he usually was. He was very quiet, like a child. I studied his face carefully and was mesmerized. Actually, Duanmu Que and Han Hao weren't bad, but they had different personalities. One was quieter, while the other was colder. Just as I was thinking, he suddenly opened his eyes, which made me shiver.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Duanmu Que asked in a low voice.
"Ah? Oh. "I couldn't think of a word to answer him.
"What oh? Go to sleep." Duanmu Que said and pulled me into his arms. My face was pressed against his chest, and I could smell Duanmu Que's faint body fragrance. My hand was on his chest, and my delicate skin could feel the rise and fall of his breath. I didn't feel uncomfortable in his arms at all. It was as if I was used to it. I leaned against his chest quietly and felt very comfortable. I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt sleepy. I slowly closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep in Duanmu Que's arms.
Maybe I was too tired, but I slept too soundly. I didn't know how long I slept. When I woke up, the moon was high in the sky outside the window, and the street lights were on. The room was dark, and Duanmu Que wasn't next to me. There was a lamp on the desk in the corner, and Duanmu Que was sitting there, fiddling with something. I got up, put on my coat, and walked behind him. I stuck my head out to look at him.
"You're awake." He didn't turn around.
"Mm." I saw that he was writing something.
Duanmu Que turned to look at me. He closed the notebook and stuffed it into the drawer.
"What are you writing? Let me see. "I reached out to open the drawer.
"No." He grabbed my outstretched hand and pulled it back. I lost my balance and he took the opportunity to hug me. I sat on his lap and my hands hooked around his neck.
"Why are you so proactive this time, throwing yourself into my arms? Speak, what are your intentions?" Duanmu Que was definitely the kind of person who would pretend to be innocent after taking advantage of her. He was clearly the one who had not taken enough advantage of her, yet he still wanted to complain.
"You think too much." I let go and tried to get up from his lap. But he held me firmly in his arms and I couldn't resist at all.
Knock, knock, knock. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Duanmu Que stood up and walked over.
"Brother, it's me, Yu Xin." Duanmu Que opened the door and saw Yu Xin standing there in a white dress.
"What is it? Xin Xin. "
"Auntie Xiao asked me to call you down for dinner." When Yu Xin said this, she glanced into the room and saw me touching up my makeup in front of the dressing table. My expression was very serious.
Duanmu Que turned to look at me and said to Yu Xin, "Okay, I got it. You can leave first."
Duanmu Que closed the door and walked behind me. He quietly looked at me, as if he was thinking about something. I looked at his complicated expression and felt that this man had a lot on his mind.
"Right, I heard Yu Xin call you brother. Is she your biological sister?" I asked Duanmu Que as I combed my hair.
"Yu Xin? No. She's our family's adopted daughter. "Duanmu Que came back to his senses and fiddled with my hair.
"Adopted daughter?"
"Yeah, when she was young, her father gave us a sum of money. In order to pay off the debt, he gave her to my family. When she came to my family, she was very young, about the same age as me. So we played together when we were young and grew up together. She always calls me brother, and I always treat her as a little sister. "
"Oh." I nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh what? If I don't call you 'right', then what should you call me in the future?" Duanmu Que knocked my head with his hand.
"Call you what? Hubby? I can't say that. "I held my head and looked at him.
"You! You did it on purpose. I don't care, think about it yourself. Let's go, let's go eat. "Duanmu Que pulled me out of the room.
The two of us walked to the dining room on the first floor. There was a table full of sumptuous dishes. Duanmu Tachio and Xiao Fengya were already seated. The two of them were talking and laughing. Sitting next to Xiao Fengya, Yu Xin sat silently. Duanmu Que pulled me to an empty seat.
"Dad, Mom, we came down."
"Okay, let's eat." Duanmu Tachio nodded.
"Xiao Li, you have to eat more. I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the nanny to prepare more. Come, try this fish." Xiao Fengya casually picked up a piece of fish and put it in my bowl.
"Mom, don't give her food. She can get it herself." As Duanmu Que spoke, he picked up food and put it in my bowl. Not long after, the food in my bowl piled up into a small hill. I vigorously pushed Duanmu Que's thigh, telling him to stop.
"Lixiong, did you see that? Que 'er has grown up. He knows how to take care of his wife." Xiao Fengya smiled at Duanmu Tachio.
"Yes, Que 'er's performance is not bad." Duanmu Tachio also agreed.
I stood up, embarrassed. I picked up a prawn and put it in Duanmu Tachio's bowl. "Dad, you eat."
I also picked up a prawn and put it in Xiao Fengya's bowl. "Mom, you eat too."
I turned to look at Duanmu Que, who had an expectant look on his face. I picked up a prawn and put it in his bowl. "Here, yours."
"No, no, it's missing something." Duanmu Que put the prawn back. Then he said to me, "What's missing? Let's do it again."
I immediately understood Duanmu Que's meaning. I picked up a prawn and put it in my bowl. In a coquettish voice, I said, "Hubby, eat prawn." When Duanmu Tachio and Xiao Fengya heard this, they also understood. Everyone laughed. Only Yu Xin kept a straight face as she ate. I picked up a prawn and put it in her bowl.
"Xin Xin, eat more." I smiled at her.
"Thank you." Yu Xin didn't even raise her head as she ate.
"Xin Xin, auntie already told you. In the future, you have to call Xiao Li sister-in-law. Look at how good your sister-in-law is." Xiao Fengya stopped smiling.
"Mom, don't talk about Xin Xin. Hurry up and eat." Duanmu Que took over. At this time, Yu Xin raised her head and looked at Duanmu Que with a gratified expression.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm not familiar with Xin Xin right now. It'll be better in the future." I tried to smooth things over. Xin Xin's strange personality immediately attracted my attention. She was definitely hiding something deep inside her heart.
"Okay, okay. Since Xiao Li said so, then forget it. Let's continue eating." I looked at Yu Xin, who was sitting across from me. She looked at Duanmu Que, then looked at me. Then she lowered her head and continued eating.
