Chapter 29 - How Could You Sleep With Him? (2/2)

But now that the weather has worsened, he didn't have any other option than to stay at home.

He walked towards the bed before taking a sit. Leaning back on the bolster pillow at his back, he was about to put the laptop on his lap when something caught his attention from the corner of his eyes.

He picked up the rose from the flower vase before looking at it intently. He stroked the petals gently with his fingers.

It has been more than 12 hours since this flower was plucked but it remained fresh as ever.

A strange expression flitted across his eyes.

…

”Little thing, wake up,” Yu Mei poked the little creature's head but it kept sleeping. If not because of its light snores, she would have taken it to be dead.

She sighed. With all the things happening around her, she didn't think she would be able to get a good night's sleep without nightmares.

She put the small thing on the bed and covered its body with the blanket. But the thing twitched slightly and she hesitated.

What if it got suffocated to death?

She lowered the blanket only covering half of its body to give its some space to breathe. She placed two fluffy pillows on either side.

”You won't fall now…” She murmured in satisfaction but her brows furrowed in the next moment.

Why did this creature appear beside her suddenly? Where did it come from?

Whatever it was….she had a feeling that it was not normal. But then again, will this small thing be a friend or a foe?

Unpredictable things as such bothered her. Neither could she throw it nor did it seem safe to keep it with her.

Sighing, she slumped on the couch tiredly.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, her phone went off.

Picking it up, she checked the caller Id before answering the call.

”Luoluo,” She lazily muttered.

”What's wrong with you? Why do you sound so exhausted?” Shi Luo shouted so loudly that Yu Mei had to distance the phone from her ear.

”Speak slowly. I am not deaf…”

”What the goddamned fuck are you up to?” One could hear the disbelief in Shi Luo's voice, ”I understand you somehow ended up becoming his wife. But you…how could you not keep your sexual urges in check? I admit his hormones can even invite an alien to sleep with him but you…you can't do that. Not when you are planning to divorce him.”

Her eyes widened slightly before her expression turned to normal, ”Luoluo, why would I sleep with him? What are you even thinking about? And what's up with your language? You need to keep it in check. If Auntie hears this then you will be done for.”

”Don't worry, Mom is not here. Anyways, you really didn't sleep with him?”

”No. Moreover, looking at my current figure, which sane man in the world would have the urge to sleep with me? Let alone this Prince Charming of a husband of mine…” Yu Mei muttered.

”You mean…”
