Chapter 80 - Sleepcrawl (2/2)

”Well, I can't be sleepwalking on the bed…so sleepcrawl,” She stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom while mumbling curses to herself.

As she disappeared from his view, his gaze landed on the pillows thrown on the other side of the king-sized bed. The corner of his lips tugged up.

After Yu Mei returned from the gym, it was past 8:30 am, and as usual Jun Zixuan finished his usual workout routine in the gym inside the penthouse. The man was wearing a simple sports attire, the top letting his strong abdominal muscles come into view, his muscles flexed with the slightest movements.

As she slumped on the couch, he walked towards her, ”Tired?” He asked looking at her red face.

She sighed, ”Just not used to it,” More like this body is not used to working out ever since birth.

”Alright, just sit here. I'll make the breakfast after taking a shower,” With that, he stood up before walking inside the bedroom.

She sighed. It was really nice to have him around, though. She could not help but wonder to herself about how she would survive without his food after their divorce.

Later on the breakfast table, she smacked her lips in satisfaction after eating the sandwich he made for her.

She smiled at him.

”What?” He tilted his head from his plate feeling an intense gaze fixated on him.

”I was just thinking. Given your looks and culinary skills, you will be a Michelin star chef. Anything you make turns out to be so delicious after all. Say, where did you learn cooking from?” In the future, she will just join the same classes to make food as good as him.

”Self-taught,'' He replied taking a small bite of sandwich.

”As if I'd believe you,” She couldn't even learn how to turn on the gas stove by herself.

”My parents separated when I was young and after that, we started living with my grandparents. But soon after, they passed away in a traffic accident. Mom was very listless after all those things. So, I had to look after them,” He nonchalantly said, taking a sip of the juice from his glass.

Did it really not matter to him or he was just pretending? ”Them?” She asked softly.

”I have a younger brother too.''

”Oh…” Just like she initially thought, there is no father figure in his life. But…”I thought…” She paused, hesitating to talk discuss this further. Although he was looking like he was not bothered by all this, but everyone who smiles isn't necessarily happy. What if deep down, he is hurting too?

”You can ask,” He asked noticing her hesitation. He was inwardly amused by how careful she was so that she would not end up hurting him.
