Chapter 46 (1/2)

Nibbling on her lower lip, Cheng Liyue walked towards the bed. Glancing over at the indolent figure who had his arms folded under his head, her gaze inadvertently collided into his as he happened to look over at the same time.

Gong Yexiao looked at the conservative nightwear she had selected for herself. The milky-white color nightwear set off her fair skin. Her black tresses tumbled down around her shoulders. Dressed even in conservative clothes, it did nothing to detract from her allure. That appearance alone was enough to make men drool over her.

There was a trace of regret in Gong Yexiao's heart. This woman's figure had long been enjoyed by some other men. How many men have paid for her body?

The more he thought about it, the more evident was the derision in his eyes. His face was drawn tight.

The little boy had been waiting for his mommy to get onto the bed and did not catch the gloomy expression on his daddy's face.

Cheng Liyue disregarded the man. She lay down beside her son and wrapped the little boy in her arms, staying as far away as possible from the man so that he would not get the chance to touch her from underneath the covers.

The little fellow had been buzzing in excitement the whole day and hadn't taken a nap. He snuggled into his mommy's warm embrace as she stroked his head affectionately. Blinking his huge eyes, a sleepy expression emerged on his face.

Gong Yexiao suddenly rolled over and propped his head up on one elbow. His perfectly handsome face faced Cheng Liyue as he stared at her.

Cheng Liyue looked up at him in horror. But the little boy was about to sleep, so she was unable to say a thing. She could only let this brazen man fixed his audacious gaze on her.

Gong Yexiao's gaze began to heat up as he looked at her gently coaxing the child to sleep. Her eyelashes were fluttering with nervousness. Gong Yexiao was very amused.

He felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment when he had succeeded at setting her on edge.

Cheng Liyue was somewhat annoyed with all his staring. She turned angry. Why wouldn't he just go to sleep? Why was he staring at her? Did a flower bloom on her face?

Since the little fellow was asleep, she couldn't speak out for fear of waking the little one up.

Gong Yexiao sat up. The covers slid down to his waist, revealing his broad chest. His pecs were displayed seemingly to entice the onlooker.

Cheng Liyue could not avoid the sight of his body. Her cheeks were heating up and her lashes were quivering against her skin. She shut her eyes to stop looking at him.

She felt the bed s.h.i.+fting slightly. Taking a peek, she found that Gong Yexiao had got out of his side of the bed.

Where was he going?

Cheng Liyue thought that he must have decided to sleep in another room.

If that was the case, then she could just sleep here with her son.

However, she realized that Gong Yexiao had walked around the bed and was now standing behind her.

“It's easy for you to fall off the bed if you sleep in this position. Edged towards the center.” A husky masculine voice reached her ears.

Cheng Liyue thought that he would go to another room to sleep, that was probably why he came over to her side to tell her to sleep closer so she would not fall off the edge of the bed in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the little boy rolled over cooperatively towards the middle. Cheng Liyue edged closer to the center. This provided just enough s.p.a.ce for a person to lie next to her.

Cheng Liyue thought that he would be leaving now. But to her surprise, the man lifted the covers and got in to lie directly behind her.

Cheng Liyue instantly tensed up. Holding her breath, she cried out softly, “What are you doing?”

The man's body was fully stretched out next to hers. His broad chest was firmly pressed up against her back. She could feel his breath brushed softly against her ear and smelled the crisp scent of his body wash.
