Sophia drank up the bowl of soup before she started to eat the other dishes.
Perhaps because of Colin's warm care, her cramps started subsiding. The sharp pain became dull and tolerable.
After dinner, they went upstairs together. After telling Sophia to sleep early, Colin went to the study to work.
Sophia went back to the bedroom and got in bed.
Because she had a long nap in the afternoon, she wasn't sleepy. After a while, Sophia took out her phone to pass the time.
When she opened WeChat, a client's update caught her attention. It read, "You can call Miss Duan as Mrs. Wen now. We're about to hit the sack now. Bye, everyone!"
Huh? That sounded familiar.
Ah. Earlier, Colin had said something similar to the press.
Sophia's heart filled with happiness as she recalled Colin's words.
When she opened Weibo, she saw that Colin's name was one of the top searches.
She clicked it. There was an article on Colin Li and his wife Sophia Lo keeping a low profile since their marriage, and how affectionate they were to each other.
There were also two photos of them included in the article. Colin's photo was taken from a magazine, while her photo was taken by the reporters when she left the company building.
Below was a new photo of the two of them together. In the picture, Colin was smiling at the camera, making him even more attractive.
Sophia checked the comments section. The netizens seemed to have various opinions about their match. Some were Leila's fans, who believed that Colin should be with her. These people were very upset that Colin had chosen someone else.
They were cursing Sophia. Some even accused her of being manipulative for not only beating Leila in the competition, but also winning Colin's heart.
Sophia was speechless.
What were they talking about?
Upset, Sophia put the phone aside and prepared to sleep.
Colin finished work and went to bed. He was displeased to find that Sophia was in her room instead of their shared bedroom. Didn't she want to sleep with him?
In her deep sleep, Sophia felt someone kissing her, then she was being pressed down to the mattress.
"Soapy." A voice called to her.
"Yes?" Sophia repl
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
are in the living room desk drawer, and you can go wherever you want."
"Oh... Thank you, Colin." Sophia meant it. She was sincerely grateful to him.
Colin was frustrated. "Never say 'thank you' to me again, either!"
"Okay! I really appreciate it!"
"Not that, either!"
"But I didn't say 'thank you, ' I said 'I appreciate it.'" The breeze blew gently, and the giant trees along the sides of the road rustled in the chilly wind. Sophia almost burst into laughter as she teased him.
On the other line, Colin also smiled. "Sophia Lo, how dare you play word games with me? I'll teach you how to talk to me when I come back home tonight."
"That's not fair! Besides, last night... Hadn't you had enough already?"
The atmosphere became intimate when she brought up the night before.
Colin raised his eyebrows. "Then I'll teach you a lesson after your period is over."
"May I object, Mr. Li?" Sophia picked up a yellow leaf that was blown to the ground by the wind and held it up against the sun. It was a heart-shaped Ginkgo leaf.
Sophia closed one eye and squinted at the sun through the small holes spattered on the Ginkgo leaf. It was sunny today, but a little windy...
"Only if you are proactive."
Sophia was speechless. That was even worse than his previous threat! Colin was sly and cunning like a fox! Sophia quickly ended their conversation. "Okay, I have to go now. Bye!"
"Alright, be careful. Call me if you need anything."
