Chapter 1281 - This Was Just A Dream (1/2)

Somehow, they were now cohabiting. Cen Xi didn’t know how she ended up having such a bizarre situation with Qiao Yanze.

He would come to her apartment after he left work every night.

After a few days together, she felt both sweet and sad.

To be able to be together with him like this was something she didn’t dare imagine. Sometimes, she would startle awake in the middle of the night, thinking that this was merely a dream.

However, when she saw him lying beside her, feeling the warmth of his arms hugging her tightly, she would realize that she wasn’t hallucinating, wasn’t dreaming at all.

Whenever she woke up, she would stare at him for a very long time.

Then, she would say in her heart, “Qiao Yanze, I like you. I liked you when you were still Qiao Sen. I really, really like you.”

However, she couldn’t bring herself to say it to him.

Although he would come every night and do the most intimate things to her, he never specified their relations.h.i.+p and she never asked either.

She knew that this kind of relations.h.i.+p would never last.

When she said that it hurt, he didn’t force himself on her. Instead, he called Tang Xi.

After finding out that he had asked Tang Xi if there were any medication to relieve a woman’s swelling and pain, Cen Xi felt really embarra.s.sed. She had reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h his phone. However, he leaned in straight away and kissed her.

When Tang Xi heard the questionable sounds from the other end of the call, he instantly hung up.

However, he still did what Qiao Yanze had gotten him to do. Half an hour later, Tang Xi’s a.s.sistant sent an ointment that was supposed to relieve the pain the next day.

After Cen Xi got the ointment, she went to the shower to apply it as Qiao Yanze followed her into the bathroom. Seeing him behind her, Cen Xi glared at him with a flushed face. “Get out!”

“Can you apply it yourself?”

A few minutes later, she laid on his shoulder as her white teeth bit down on her lip, her long lashes fluttering nonstop.

Seeing how she was acting, he chuckled softly. “I’m just applying an ointment. Why do you look like you’ve been ravished?”

Cen Xi’s clenched fists. .h.i.t his shoulders hard.

“Alright, let’s go to sleep.”

She remained on his shoulder, not wanting to move and merely opened an eye. “Carry me.”

Noting her flushed ears, the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed. In the end, his long arm reached around her and carried her to the bed.

Cen Xi laid on his chest, staring at his handsome jaw as sweetness and fear crawled within her.

How long would this nice time together continue for? In the past few days, she never mentioned anything from the past to him. She never mentioned her older sister and what happened to the Qiao family…

However, if any of these were mentioned, the sweet and peaceful life they had now would be broken.

She knew.

She knew that very well.

…

It was the weekend.

Qiao Yanze went nowhere and merely stayed in Cen Xi’s apartment. He had gotten his a.s.sistant to bring a laptop over and was currently sitting on the sofa working.

Cen Xi made some delicious food and brought the dishes to the sofa. As he couldn’t spare the time to eat and got her to feed him.

While she fed him, someone took the initiative and their actions became more intimate. They ended up not eating much of the food.
