Chapter 725 - He Slept with Her (2/2)
Since she could not fall asleep, she would pray for Nan Zhi every night.
Seeing Mu Sihan bring Xiaojie over, comfort appeared in An Feng’s eyes.
Xiaojie looked like Nan Zhi, which was why An Feng kept feeling like Nan Zhi was still with her whenever she looked at Xiaojie.
After Mu Sihan left, Xiaojie dragged An Feng to bed, his small hands holding tightly onto An Feng’s hand. “Grandma, Pretty Zhizhi only went to a very far place, and we can still see her in the future, don’t we?”
An Feng caressed Xiaojie’s pretty face, nodding. “Yes, but that will be a very long time later.”
Xiaojie leaned into An Feng’s embrace, giving her warmth. “Grandma, if you miss Pretty Zhizhi in the future, Xiaojie can come back to accompany you, alright?”
An Feng’s eyes welled up, her tears almost falling again.
Throughout all these years, the best thing Nan Zhi had done was to have such a good son.
She nodded, her heart still sad, though she was comforted as well. “My baby Grandson, you’re Grandma’s little angel.”
With the boy accompanying her, the long nights did not feel that miserable and hard anymore.
…
At one in the morning, a loud engine rang outside of the Qiao family castle.
Qiao Yanze got out of his car in a drunken stupor.
He had placed all of his attention on his work in the past month, but the result was that there were drinking sessions from time to time. After every drinking session, he would drink until he was completely smashed.
Someone else who had not slept yet was Xiao Ying.
Qiao Yanze was in a bad mood, his body and heart exhausted from what had happened, but Xiao Ying would take care of him with all of her heart everyday.
Madam Qiao did not like this Xiao Ying at first, because she was soft and looked too pretty, like a vixen. She was worried that Xiao Ying would seduce Qiao Yanze.
However, she seemed to have thought too much into it. Xiao Ying had handled and taken cared of Qiao Yanze’s daily matters flawlessly. She was detailed as well, and did not seem to do anything out of line.
After Xiao Ying heard the sound of the engine, she ran out.
Seeing the drunken Qiao Yanze, she hurriedly supported him. “Young Master, I know that you’re sad, but it’s not good for you if you continue to drink like this!”
Qiao Yanze glanced at Xiao Ying, a lazy smirk on his lips, though he did not say anything.
After helping Qiao Yanze to his bed, Xiao Ying ran downstairs to make a cup of sober-up tea. When she returned to Qiao Yanze’s room, he had fallen asleep on his bed.
He was not rowdy and did not act up when he got drunk. Instead, he became very quiet.
Xiao Ying sat by the bed, calling softly, “Young Master, wake up to drink the sober-up tea. If not, you’ll get a headache tomorrow.”
Qiao Yanze’s eyelids moved, but he did not open his eyes.
Xiao Ying put down the cup, before she reached out to push him slightly. However, she did not expect for her wrist to be grabbed by his scorching hot palm instead.
With a strong tug, he pulled her onto him.
Smelling her, his voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e from the alcohol. “What perfume did you spray on? It’s calming and relaxing.”
Xiao Ying was panicking a little. “Young Master, I didn’t spray on any perfume…”
Qiao Yanze stared at Xiao Ying’s watery, deer-like pitiful eyes, his eyes darkening as he hugged her. Suddenly, he flipped them around to press her under him.
…
In the morning, when the first hint of sunlight shone into the room, Qiao Yanze opened his eyes habitually.
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be a soft and pet.i.te body in his arms.
He looked down immediately at the woman in his arms who was still in deep sleep.
He immediately felt a strike of lightning in his brain!
