Su Chen walked up to the door of Lin Ruoxue's room and tried to gently push it open; the door creaked open with ease.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
Lin Ruoxue, dressed in her pajamas, was lying on the bed, flipping through a magazine. However, her eyes didn't seem to focus on the magazine; she appeared somewhat distracted.
But when she saw Su Chen sneaking in, she immediately pretended to read with great interest.
"Wife, where are my things from the bed?"
It was Su Chen's first time entering Lin Ruoxue's boudoir, and he naturally felt a bit excited. Lin Ruoxue's room, like her, was simply but tastefully decorated.
"I put them away," Lin Ruoxue said deliberately calmly, "Do you want Aunt to find out we're sleeping in separate rooms?"
"Oh, I see."
Su Chen gave a sheepish smile, wishing he could slap himself for asking such a question.
"Hasn't Aunt already left?"
Su Chen didn't know what came over him, maybe it was the excitement that short-circuited his brain, for he blurted out an even more foolish remark.
"Isn't Ruohan still here?"
Lin Ruoxue hummed in annoyance, as if she was extremely reluctant to share a room with him.
"You know Ruohan is sharp. If she finds out, it won't be good. So sleep here for the next few days," Lin Ruoxue continued, her voice getting softer and almost inaudible towards the end.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Wise as always, my dear wife."
Su Chen beamed and flattered her, then he lifted a corner of the blanket, ready to crawl in, but the moment he touched the bed, Lin Ruoxue's leg shot out and kicked him off.
"What are you doing?"
Su Chen suddenly got annoyed. He was all smiles, and yet he was treated like this. It was utterly intolerable.
"What are you coming up here for?"
Lin Ruoxue clutched the blanket tightly, eyeing Su Chen with a wary expression.
"What nonsense, I'm obviously here to sleep. Didn't you tell me to sleep here?"
"I told you to sleep in this room, but I didn't say you could get on the bed!"
"Then where should I sleep?"
Su Chen was immediately puzzled and asked.
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxue exclaimed happily, then turned around, a gleaming pair of scissors in her hand.
"What are you doing with scissors? Put those away!"
Su Chen hurriedly said when he saw Lin Ruoxue holding the scissors.
"Hmph, it's a self-defense tool,"
Lin Ruoxue glanced at a certain part below Su Chen and made a cutting gesture.
Seeing Lin Ruoxue's fierce expression, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a chill between his legs.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
Su Chen quickly shook his head, immediately dismissing a certain thought.
If he were to accidentally go too far, it could impact the happiness of his latter life, which would be too much of a loss.
"Hmph, I didn't think you would dare!"
Lin Ruoxue snorted and climbed back onto the bed, carefully placing the scissors under her pillow.
Only then did Lin Ruoxue feel a slight sense of security, and with that, she turned off the light and closed her eyes.
But how could she dare to sleep with a man beside her? Even though this man was her husband.
About half an hour later, Su Chen's lengthy breathing could be heard, suggesting he had fallen asleep.
Lin Ruoxue gently turned on the lamp on the bedside table, looked at Su Chen beside her, and found he had completely entered dreamland.
"Su Chen, Su Chen."
Lin Ruoxue called out quietly twice and, seeing no reaction from him, finally let her guard down.
Lin Ruoxue didn't immediately turn off the light and go to sleep, but instead propped her head on one hand and tilted her head to carefully observe Su Chen.
Under the soft glow of the lamp, his features were sharply defined, his face chiseled to perfection, with thick brows, a prominent nose, and moderately full lips slightly pursed.
"Actually, he is quite good-looking,"
Lin Ruoxue thought to herself, but she quickly blushed at this thought, her heart fluttering chaotically, thankful that there was no one else in the room.
Lin Ruoxue calmed her emotions and again scrutinized him carefully.
Did he have something on his mind? Otherwise, why would his eyebrows be furrowed even in sleep? The sorrow in his eyes seemed so thick it couldn't be dissolved.
Lin Ruoxue suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of heartache and instinctively extended a finger, wanting to smooth away the sadness around his eyes.
