Chapter 1508 - Pot Calling the Kettle Black (1/2)

Zhai Sheng refused to allow someone else to continue occupying his bed. “My stubbornness about the bed is still better than your stubbornness about toothbrushes. I won’t back down on this matter.”

…

Now that he compared his bed to toothbrushes, Qiao Nan really had nothing else to say. “Fine. I understand.” Indeed, she would never let anyone touch a toothbrush that she had used. Once someone so much as touched it, she would refuse to use it after. “Okay, it’s already late. You’re tired too. Let’s sleep.”

Lying within Zhai Sheng’s embrace, the sleepy bug that had been chased away once again came back to find Qiao Nan. After yawning, Qiao Nan hugged Zhai Sheng’s arm as she rubbed her face against the pillow. She was ready to go to bed.

But who knew that what Zhai Sheng meant by ‘sleep’ did not mean the same thing that Qiao Nan was thinking about.

When Qiao Nan was sleepy again, a hot and thick hand filled with calluses started to lift up her clothes and found their way in.

“…”

Qiao Nan stared at Zhai Sheng in disbelief when she realized that Zhai Sheng had not stopped his movements but were increasing in intensity instead. Qiao Nan wondered in frustration if she was going to be able to ‘sleep’.

The next day, Qiao Nan was aching all over and her limbs were as limp as noodles. When she saw Zhai Sheng standing up tall under the sunlight after changing his clothes, Qiao Nan gritted her teeth in anger. “I see you’re in a good mood.” He had returned in the middle of the night. Instead of being tired, Brother Zhai had dragged her into several rounds of ‘exercise’.

The thought of this made Qiao Nan clench her jaw even harder. “How am I supposed to send the children to school today? And am I still supposed to go to work today? We’ve been married for eight years!” It was clearly something that they did on a usual basis as a seasoned couple. But during last night’s activity, Brother Zhai acted as though he had not eaten meat and almost finished her up while she was still alive.

The most infuriating thing was that the only person who had used his energy last night was Zhai Sheng. He had been in such good spirits. On the other hand, although she had been the one lying below, she no longer had any energy left to even get up today.

“I can send the three children to school. As for whether to go to work, do you want to apply for leave?” Even under Qiao Nan’s intense gaze, Zhai Sheng did not feel the slightest bit shameful. His expression was so bright that Qiao Nan really wanted to punch him. “If you want to apply for leave, I’ll make a call for you. Just have a good rest.”

“No!” They had been married for eight years. If other people knew that she had applied for leave for such a matter, she might as well tender her resignation. Even after several years of working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qiao Nan had never taken leave before. If she were to break her own record for something like that, it would be a lifetime regret for Qiao Nan. “It’s almost time. Hurry and send the three children to school. I’ll see to going to work myself.” If Brother Zhai intervened, it would only get more embarra.s.sing.

Knowing that his wife was raging, Zhai Sheng rubbed his nose and stopped bothering Qiao Nan. He obediently went downstairs and sent the three children to school. The three children were already used to their father coming back only occasionally for short periods of time each time. But every time their father returned, their mother would suddenly become very tired. All along, their mother had the good habit of waking up early. But when he was back, she would change this habit and sleep in.
