Chapter 93 - Someone had done something behind the scenes (1/2)

Late at night, Southside Villas.

”Why are you still awake? It's already past midnight.” Lu Aotian reprimanded his little fiancée as he held her shoulders from behind.

”Does anyone complain when you stay up all night?” she snorted and continued arranging the sheets of paper neatly in a file.

”That's because I have to provide for the family, logically I should work hard. What about you? Who are you working this hard for?” He snatched the file from her hands and held it up high.

”Hey! Give that back.” she exploded.

”No can do.” he answered sternly with a poker face. This naughty little thing had skipped dinner just for the sake of work. It was only the first day. If he didn't keep a close eye on her, would she work all her blood out?

She tiptoed and tried to snatch it back but due to her height which was pitiably overshadowed by Lu Aotian's tall frame, she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.

”Give me back my file.” she pouted and looked like she was about to cry.

Lu Aotian had hardened his resolve and would not give in to letting her stay up even if she really cried.”I'll only give it back in the morning.” He said and took her hand, pulling her out of the study room. ”Come here, I'll sing you a lullaby.”

She pretended to be obedient and when he let his guard down, she tried to snatch the file back.

Alas, Lu Aotian had expected such a move and reacted faster by holding it high above her head. ”Be good. Girls should rest early.” he coaxed. Although his tone was that of coaxing, what he did next was the exact opposite. He opened the safe in his room, placed the file in and changed the passcode.

Wan Jia pursed her lips. Did he really think she could still remember the passcode after all those years?

”Come here.” he beckoned her over. She was still standing at the door.

”I don't want to sleep in your room.” she said in a very spoilt tone.

He glared at her.

”I mean, I want to sleep in your room....How can I not want to sleep in your bed? Your bed is the cosiest bed on earth hahaa.” she rattled and ran over with a swoosh.

Lu Aotian sighed helplessly and took her in his arms, placing her gently on the soft bed.

At the end of the day, Lu Aotian really did sing her a lullaby. She nestled comfortably in his warm embrace. That sweet mellow voice singing her favorite song lulled her into sweet dreams.

The next morning, Wan Jia woke up and found the space beside her empty- Lu Aotian had already woken up. She sneakily tried to open the safe but failed.

So she freshened up and went to take breakfast. Lu Aotian was sitting elegantly on the sofa in the living room. She intentionally avoided attracting his attention and sneaked into the kitchen to grab a fruit. She was not in the mood for breakfast either.

”Why are you being so sneaky?”
