Chapter 160 It's Really Just Sleeping
He was very calm and composed. He just walked past Lin Xige and entered the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of rushing water was heard.
Lin Xige stood there, looking up at the sky in silence.
While Mu Chaoran is taking a shower, she changes rooms? And then locks the door?
But it seems... unlikely.
Because the chance of him chasing after you and prying the door open is very high.
Besides, if she escaped tonight, what about tomorrow night?
This is not a long-term solution, unless Mu Chaoran voluntarily stops bothering her.
After thinking it over, Lin Xige sat down again.
You can't avoid the fifteenth day if you can't avoid it. She doesn't have the energy and strength to make trouble anymore. She just wants to have a good sleep, rest and recharge her energy.
Since she escaped from the old house, she was exhausted and had used up all her energy.
Five minutes later, Mu Chaoran walked out of the bathroom.
He was only wearing a bathrobe, which was loose, with water beads on his chest muscles and his hair was wet.
"I'm done washing." He said, "Wife, you can go wash now."
He said it very naturally.
Moreover, she was still in the room and didn't slip away, which made him even more satisfied.
Tonight the couple... must sleep in the same bed.
Lin Xige glared at him fiercely, walked past him, entered the bathroom, and locked the door.
To prevent him from coming in halfway and acting like a hooligan.
By the time Lin Xige finished washing, Mu Chaoran had already laid down.
He's like a...
Well, how to describe it? She's like a concubine waiting to be favored by the emperor.
The quilt only covered his chest. He was half leaning against the head of the bed, staring at her. His eyes followed her wherever she went.
Lin Xige felt her back crawling with fear just from the look he gave her.
It felt like as soon as she got on the bed, he would pounce on her and eat her till there was nothing left.
Lin Xige was taking a long time. Sometimes she went to the cloakroom to get something, sometimes she did her skin care and blew her hair, and sometimes she sat in front of the dressing table, fiddling with something.
Mu Chaoran didn't urge her and just watched her struggle.
It wasn't until she had nothing else to do and couldn't pretend anymore that she walked to the bed.
"Are you going to sleep?" Mu Chaoran raised his eyebrows and patted the seat beside him, "Come on."
Lin Xige asked, "It's time for you to go to bed too."
"Sleep, sleep together."
"I'm really just sleeping." Lin Xige emphasized, "I'm very tired."
"Of course," Mu Chaoran answered as a matter of course, "If you want to do something else, then I..."
She immediately denied it: "I don't want to!"
"I really want to." Mu Chaoran admitted frankly, "But I won't force you."
Lin Xige looked at him doubtfully.
"Honey, when have I ever forced you?" he asked, "Think about it carefully."
Lin Xige recalled carefully for a long time, and indeed, Mu Chaoran had always respected her when it came to things in bed.
If she strongly expresses her refusal, he will not force it.
But that was only before.
Now and in the future...that’s unknown.
"Go to sleep." Mu Chaoran's voice became very gentle, "I'll hold you."
Lin Xige didn't say anything else.
The moment she lay down, Mu Chaoran's chest pressed against hers.
His body was finally warm and hot.
His hand passed from her waist to her front, and then he remained still and did not move.
The bedroom was very quiet and all the lights were off.
In a trance, Lin Xige thought she was in an apartment in Su City.
Because she and Mu Chaoran fell asleep like this for many, many nights.
However, she would not turn her back to him. Instead, she would face him, nestling in his arms, and could see his jaw and Adam's apple as soon as she raised her head.
Closing her eyes, she could feel Mu Chaoran's presence more clearly.
His body was getting hotter and hotter, and his breathing was a little rapid.
It seems... he has a reaction, but he is just holding it back.
Lin Xige pretended that she knew nothing and fell asleep unknowingly in a daze.
In fact, she could sleep well with him around.
Very solid and safe.
Isn't it the same for Mu Chaoran?
During the days that Lin Xige was missing, he had not slept a full night and had woken up countless times in the middle of the night.
Feeling Lin Xige relax and her breathing becoming gradually even, he slowly moved his head closer and finally gently placed a kiss on the back of her neck.
"Goodnight wife."
Mu Chaoran closed his eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Happiness is nothing more than this.
The night time passes quietly.
I thought I could sleep till dawn, but the opposite happened.
In the middle of the night, at two o'clock in the morning, Mu Chaoran's cell phone suddenly rang.
The urgent ringing of the phone broke the silence.
Mu Chaoran and Lin Xige were both woken up.
She was half asleep and asked subconsciously, "Who's calling?"
"You sleep, I'll pick you up."
Mu Chaoran stood up quietly and walked away holding his phone.
His brows were furrowed.
Because this is his private phone number, only very close and important people will know it.
And in the middle of the night, he was suddenly called, and the ringing lasted for so long, so something big must have happened.
"Hey?"
Mu Chaoran lowered his voice very low and deep, trying his best not to disturb Lin Xige.
"Mr. Mu, something has happened to Mr. Mu. Please come to the hospital immediately."
Mu Chaoran's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately responded, "Okay."
"Boss Mu, you are really needed here, please come as soon as possible."
"I am coming over now."
Mu Chaoran responded while grabbing his shirt and walking out quickly.
After walking a few steps, Lin Xige's voice came from behind: "Where are you going?"
He stopped suddenly.
Then he looked back.
Lin Xige sat on the bed, the quilt sliding off her body.
There was no light in the room, so it was dim and he could only see her rough outline.
He almost forgot that she was afraid of the dark.
He left her alone in the room in the middle of the night. She must have felt helpless.
Lin Xige couldn't see Mu Chaoran's face clearly, she could only see his tall body standing there.
And the words he just whispered, "I'll be right there."
She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to know what happened in the middle of the night.
Because, in such a huge imperial garden, Lin Xige only knew him.
As soon as he left, she felt really insecure.
Subconsciously, Lin Xige is still very dependent on Mu Chaoran.
Mu Chaoran realized it quickly.
The matter was urgent and he ignored her feelings.
He returned to the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and looked into her eyes: "There's something going on at the hospital... I need to go there right now."
"It's Mr. Mu..."
"It's not clear yet." Mu Chaoran interrupted her, "It shouldn't be, don't be too pessimistic."
He ruffled her hair: "I'll go take a look, you continue to sleep and wait for me to come back at home."
Lin Xige asked: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, you have a good rest."
Mu Chaoran refused.
He hoped that she could stay at home peacefully and wait for him to come back.
