Chapter 703 - 713: Stalemate (8)
After taking a shower, Qiao Mo sat on the sofa in the living room sulking, constantly contemplating whether she should pack up and leave.Since there’s no place for her to stay, should she go out and make do for a couple of days?
But looking at the pitch-black sky outside and thinking of his cautiousness, she exhaled softly, ultimately unwilling yet reluctant.
In the end, she went into the bedroom, grabbed a quilt and planned to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
"Xiao Mo." Fu Nancheng called out to her, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Qiao Mo didn’t look back, halted her steps, and said coldly, "If I wake up in the bedroom tomorrow morning, I’ll pack my things and leave immediately."
After speaking, Qiao Mo went to the living room without turning back, remembering to close the bedroom door.
After all, no matter what, a tiger is always a tiger; even if it retracts its claws, it is still a tiger.
She didn’t want to argue with him over this, especially since she was somewhat afraid of going out so late, but she was also afraid he would repeat his old tricks, like before, and carry her back to bed when she was asleep.
Inside the bedroom, Fu Nancheng heard her blunt warning, his face extremely dark. He sat alone at the desk, sulking, aware of his own wrongs, and dared not provoke her anger further.
Seeing no movement in the bedroom, Qiao Mo gradually felt settled.
She wrapped herself in the quilt, watching TV, but her mind kept replaying his words today.
Should she trust him?
Did he really have his own difficulties?
Yes, he must have his own difficulties...
Thinking this way, Qiao Mo’s mood improved a bit, the heavy stone pressing on her chest seemed to shift slightly.
The TV was on, who knows how long had passed.
Fuzzily, a figure suddenly squeezed in, carrying a scent of freshness, together they squeezed onto the narrow sofa.
The soft sofa immediately sank a huge chunk, becoming extremely crowded.
"Fu Nancheng... what are you trying to do again!" Qiao Mo opened her somewhat sleepy eyes, a hint of anger in them.
He gently kissed her eyelids, "Be good, sleep."
"I won’t sleep with you." Qiao Mo said, trying to sit up, a bit angry.
He didn’t let her get up, held her tightly, the space on the sofa was indeed small, but lying down together was honestly too crowded: "It’s cold at night, don’t stir any more. I promise I won’t touch you, okay..."
His voice seemed to have magic, Qiao Mo’s emotions gradually calmed down a bit.
But she still kept her eyes open, feeling uneasy, losing her previous sleepiness.
Seeing her regained some spirit, he whispered softly in her ear, "Yesterday I was a jerk... until the baby is born, I promise not to touch you again."
Seeing her still silent, Fu Nancheng whispered again, "If I can’t keep my promise, let me be struck by lightning..."
Qiao Mo felt a tightness in her chest, interrupted coldly, "Are you going to let people sleep or not!"
He was slightly stunned, seeing she didn’t drive him away again, held her tighter, whispering softly, "Xiao Mo, I love you."
Qiao Mo’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, listening to his whispers by her ear, gradually closed her eyes.
The sofa was very crowded, both lay on their sides.
He could clearly feel her curves, and she leaned against his chest, only feeling very warm.
Having stared at the computer for too long during the day, Qiao Mo was very sleepy, coupled with her recent sleepiness, she soon fell asleep.
She didn’t know when it started, her picky habit of recognizing beds seemed to have been cured, and as long as he was there, she could always sleep peacefully and soundly.
