Chapter 720 - There Are Some Things That I Don’t Really Put Down (1/2)

Both of them were stunned for a moment. When they heard someone walking to the attic, Xian Guiying hurriedly tried to push Qin Gengxin away, but he simply held her back, not letting her move.

Fearing that she would be crushed, he laid her down on the bed.

”Stop messing around.” Xian Guiying lightly punched his chest, she didn't dare to make too much noise.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Apparently, it was the sound of two people's footsteps, followed by the sound of a conversation.

”When Guiying said that she was going to sleep in the attic, at that time I was too busy playing with the children that I forgot to tell her that the shower inside was broken. Although there is usually someone to clean the place, the broken shower has never been repaired.”

It was Zhan An's voice.

”Madam, they should be resting by now.” Then came Nanny Cheng's voice. ”These few days, Miss Guiying has been taking care of the old general in the hospital. I can see that she is very tired, but she still persisted and happily accompanied the old general throughout the day. She is very tired; otherwise she would not have let Ruolan take care of the child for the night.”

”Well, let's keep our voices down and see whether the light is on or not. She slept without taking a shower. Guiying was always too reserved every time she went home. Even when she encounters a small problem like a broken shower, she won't tell and ask for someone's help.”

”Then... Do you want me to knock on the door?”

”Don't knock.” Zhan An whispered. ”There's no light inside, so she must be asleep.”

Qin Gengxin, who was entangled with Xian Guiying on the bed, didn't dare to move because he was afraid that people outside would hear the sound. Sensing Xian Guiying's embarrassed demeanor, Qin Gengxin suddenly smiled and chewed her sensitive ears.

She moaned softly like a kitten.

She could no longer bear this torture. However, she was afraid that Zhan An and Nanny Cheng would hear her, so she gripped the bedsheets tightly with her trembling hands.

While she was in a daze, she felt as if someone was holding her in his arms. She heard a soft murmur in her ear, ”I'm not going anywhere. Sleep well.”

Why did Qin Gengxin say that?

Xian Guiying opened her eyes in shock as she saw the dim light in the room. When she turned around, she saw Qin Gengxin was looking down at her.

”Why are you awake?” He then bent down and kissed her on the nose. ”Aren't you so tired that you directly fell asleep?”

Xian Guiying looked at him for a moment and smiled. Then she pushed his hand away and got up. ”I'm sticky and dirty. I'm going to take a shower.”

”Didn't mom just say that the shower in the attic is broken?”

Xian Guiying hesitated for a moment. ”They should all be asleep by this time. Nobody uses the bathroom on the first floor.”

With that, she got out of bed and went to put on her clothes. Qin Gengxin also sat up and said, ”It's already so late. We'll go wash up in the morning. Let's rest first.”

”No, my body is covered in sweat. It's so sticky that I can't fall asleep.”
