Chapter 1280 - Tears Falling (2/2)

Being so exhausted, she no longer had the energy to think about how their relations.h.i.+p would develop or what would happen in the future. She yawned as her eyelids seemed to be fighting to close.

As Qiao Yanze leaned against the bed, he took a cigarette and a match from the bedside table. Swiping the match against the box, he used it to light the cigarette. Shaking the match to extinguish the flame, he placed the cigarette between his lips and took a breath, before he exhaled a mouthful of smoke slowly.

Smelling the smoke, Cen Xi coughed softly. “Can you smoke less?”

“Are you starting to control me already?” He looked down at her.

“I don’t have the right to control you. But I’m really sleepy right now and don’t want to smell any smoke.”

He chuckled and extinguished the cigarette. “Alright, if you don’t like to smell it, I won’t smoke.” He lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms. She patted at his arms, though he wasn’t willing to let go of her. Furrowing her eyebrows, she pouted. “You can smoke after all!”

“I won’t. It’s more interesting to talk to you.”

Cen Xi opened her mouth, biting his arm with all of her strength. In response, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head. “Go to sleep.”

The faint cigarette smell on him made her heart flutter uncontrollably.

…

The next day.

When Cen Xi woke up, the sun was already s.h.i.+ning brightly. A quick glance at her phone showed that it was almost nine in the morning.

She remembered she had set an alarm before she went to sleep last night.

As she lifted the blanket and got out of bed, she heard some noise from the living room. She opened the bedroom door to glance outside.

When she saw Qiao Yanze dressed in a black suit pants, standing in the living room and talking to someone, Cen Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

Was the person he was talking to… Tang Xi?

“Third Brother, did you scare the girl to death, staying here for two consecutive nights?”

…

Hearing Tang Xi’s words, Cen Xi felt extremely awkward.

However, the man who was only wearing pants didn’t look uncomfortable at all. “Whether I’ve scared her or not has nothing to do with you. Did you sleep with your G.o.ddess?”

“Sleep what? That woman asked for a hundred million dollars a night. Does she think she’s made of gold?”

With his eyes, Qiao Yanze told Tang Xi that he was indeed a coward, before Qiao Yanze reached out and took the bag Tang Xi was holding.

He pulled a clean white s.h.i.+rt from the bag and put it on in front of Tang Xi.
