When she arrived downstairs, she saw him placing the dinner that he had bought on the dining table.
He looked up when he heard footsteps and saw her standing at the doorway to the dining room.
He walked over and held her hand without waiting for her opinion. “Have your dinner.”
Zuo Weiyi knew very well that as long as it was something this man wanted, he would get it no how much she retaliated.
Resistance was futile!
He pulled her to the dining table and sat her down. Today’s dishes were very light.
As soon as she sat down, Zuo Weiyi saw a bowl of her favorite big wantons on the table. The aroma permeated the entire dining room.
It was the one from the south of the city. He actually went that far to buy a bowl of wantons?
“I’m leaving to discuss a business deal tomorrow. You stay at home obediently.”
Zuo Weiyi was still eating when she heard what he said. She paused for a moment without answering him. Then, she continued eating.
After dinner, Zuo Weiyi took a shower. Not long after lying down on the bed, she felt sleepy.
Recently, she had not been sleeping enough.
Just as she was about to sleep, the bathroom door opened. Her body stiffened as she held onto the blanket.
Where was he going to sleep tonight?
She was hoping he would go to bed as she turned sideways. But she heard the door open then close.
Zuo Weiyi turned her head towards the door, only to realize that Shi Yuting had already left.
The whole bedroom floor had fluffy carpeting, muffling out the approaching footsteps.
The night was getting darker.
Zuo Weiyi woke up from her sleep, but did not open her eyes. She just felt uncomfortable in her current sleeping position and wanted to shift.
She did not know what time it was, but door opened just as she was about to find a comfortable position.
She frowned. It couldn’t be anyone else but Shi Yuting.
So she pretended to be sleeping soundly.
Soon, she felt movement next to her on the bed.
This was the first time he slept next to her ever since his mother’s accident.
Zuo Weiyi remained quiet and continued pretending to be sleeping soundly.
She suddenly felt his breath on her face.
She started to blush and her heart skipped a beat…
After all, they were a married couple!
Then, she felt a soft and warm sensation on her forehead.
It was…his kiss.
He gently planted a kiss on her forehead and stared at her sleeping face for a long time, so long that even Zuo Weiyi could feel his burning gaze.
She was surprised and a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
When his mother was in trouble and he hardly returned home at night, she remembered sensing someone standing by the window and caressed her face.
At that time, she was deep in sleep. By the time she opened her eyes, there wasn’t anyone in the room so she thought it must have been a dream.
He thought that she was asleep and that she had been sleeping very soundly for the past few days. She didn’t even notice the door opening and closing when he occasionally came back.
But now, he realized that her thick eyelashes were moving slightly as he continued to stare at her.
“Did I wake you up?” She was startled when she heard his deep and sexy voice from above her.
She had been discovered.
Well, she might as well open her eyes. However, she did not look up at him. Instead, she kept her eyes lowered.
“Did you…” she paused for a moment before continuing, “once come home in the middle of night during the half a month after Mother’s accident?”
After a long time, he said, “Yes.”
