73 Chapter 73 : Sleep-talk (2/2)
Once her body was close enough for Hongqi's grasp, he suddenly pulled her and cuddled again. She was stunned for a while due to his sudden movements. She calmed her nervous heart before putting her attention on him.
”Are you awake?” She hoarsely asked him. He didn't answer but his hold on her became slightly tighter. He nestled on her chest and inhaled her feminine scent again. He has that perverted smirk on his face while he's asleep.
”This rogue husband is even naughty while sleeping.” Xiulan murmurs as she brushes his smooth hair. She was trying to sleep again while she brushes his hair but she suddenly hear Hongqi's silent sleep-talk.
Xiulan didn't mind what he was saying because she was trying to sleep again but for some reason that one sentence he uttered, managed to slip through her slightly deaf ears.
”Lingyu... I love you...”
*gasp*
Xiulan eyes quickly opened and she made a dramatic gasp when she heard his confession while sleep-talking. Her heart beats so fast from the sudden wild confession for his ex-lover. She quickly got up and checked his face. There were some tears coming out of the edge of his eyes.
”Oh my!” Xiulan was extremely surprised. She can't believe this man is tearing up while he confesses his love during sleep.
Of course she knows the name of his first love, Zhao Lingyu. She remembered all the names of his past lovers in case she gets to work with them. It's better to be aware than be stupid about this matter.
”So he still loves her, right? This is really complicated.” She started talking to herself since she stumbled to this very interesting sight of Hongqi tearing up and confessing while he's asleep. ”He might be having some amazing dreams about her right now. He looks sad too. Might be a dream and nightmare combined.”
Xiulan sighed from this weird situation she's currently in. It was good that she decided to have her IUD soon. Without any children, she can leave him in peace. The divorce may happen when that Lingyu woman comes back. She should ready herself once that woman is in the country.
They may have been cohabiting in peace but it can be disrupted once that woman comes in the picture. She would rather believe his confession during sleep instead of hearing his sweet nothings when he is sober.
She felt conflicted about this. She's not sure but her heart feels heavy. ”I guess the curse of the Song sisters is true.” She bitterly and pathetically smiled while she stares at Hongqi's face. She wipes his tears and caressed his face.
”Don't worry, she'll be back.” She murmurs while she lay on the bed again and try to regain her sleep. She brushes his hair and coax the crying and sleeping Hongqi.
”Once she's back, I'm going to surrender you without any fight. You waited too long for her.” She continues to brush his hair until she falls asleep with tears in her eyes too.
