Ji Wei hurriedly reached out to stop his hand. "I... I’ll do it myself."
Sitting up from the man’s embrace, Ji Wei turned her back to him and took off her clothes.
She was only wearing a tight top, and underneath was her underwear. But sleeping with underwear on always felt a bit uncomfortable.
Ji Wei hesitated for a mont, then reached back to undo the clasp of her bra.
She swiftly took it off and stuffed it under the pillow, then pulled up the blanket and burrowed herself completely inside.
"I... I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight!" A muffled voice ca from under the blanket.
Gu Moqian stared at the bulging blanket in front of him for a while, and the corners of his lips slowly curved into a soft smile.
After struggling through the better part of the night, Ji Wei was utterly exhausted and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
That night, Ji Wei slept soundly.
Gu Moqian listened to the shallow breathing of the woman in his arms, the smile never leaving his lips. Even though the pain in his shoulder made it difficult for him to sleep.
The next morning.
Ji Wei caught the unfamiliar scent in the room and frowned slightly, but she didn’t open her eyes. Her thoughts were still scattered, and she wanted to stay in bed a little longer.
She turned over, seeking a comfortable position, and instinctively nestled closer to the warm embrace beside her. "Mmm..."
Feeling utterly satisfied in her sleep, she couldn’t help but let out a soft hum.
Then, her hand unconsciously stretched under the blanket, and it touched sothing hot and rigid.
Ji Wei froze, her entire body stiffening. As seconds slowly ticked by, the woman suddenly sat up from under the blanket.
A chilly breeze swept over her, making Ji Wei shiver all over. She glanced down at her own topless self without a bra, then turned her head and t the deep, focused gaze of his eyes.
Her thoughts cleared instantly as she took in Gu Moqian’s perfectly chiseled, otherworldly face.
She, she, she... slept on the hotel bed last night with Gu Moqian after taking off her clothes!
At the beginning, she had kept her distance—why did she end up curling entirely into Gu Moqian’s arms while sleeping?
"Awake?"
Noticing the petite woman clutching the blanket tightly to her chest with one hand, her other hand tugging at her tousled hair in chaotic frustration, Gu Moqian’s refined brows slightly arched. A low, magnetic voice drifted out indifferently.
Ji Wei was still in a whirlwind of confusion, staring blankly for a mont before she managed to start responding. Just as she was about to answer, suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Gu, it’s Dr. Liu. Is now a good ti to co in?"
Gu Moqian glanced over at Ji Wei.
Ji Wei’s body reacted quicker than her mind. In an instant, she dove under the covers, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe, leaving no gap. She even tried her best to lie flat to avoid being discovered.
About two seconds later, the woman’s hand unexpectedly poked out from under the blanket and dragged her clothes by the pillow inside it too.
Then, she froze completely still.
The little movents of the petite woman made Gu Moqian almost chuckle aloud.
Suppressing his amusent with great effort, he responded calmly, "Co in."
The family doctor, called in by Chen Ke, arrived to check on Gu Moqian’s shoulder wound to see how it was healing. "Mr. Gu, please try to avoid showering recently to prevent infection at the wound site. Any action that might strain the wound should also be avoided—"
At this mont, the doctor’s gaze flicked over to the blanket beside Gu Moqian.
The shape of that blanket looked... odd, as if soone was lying under it.
The doctor’s expression reflected mild bewildernt, but he didn’t dare to ask. He simply replaced the gauze, reiterated a few health precautions, and took his leave, closing the door behind him.
As soon as the sound of the door shutting rang out, Ji Wei cautiously poked her head out from under the blanket.
Staying under the blanket wasn’t safe—she should quickly get dressed and get out of bed!
With that thought, Ji Wei reached out to feel under the pillow.
Huh? The underwear she had stuffed there last night was gone?
At that mont, the man’s cool voice sounded beside her, "Looking for this?"
Gu Moqian dangled a strap of her flesh-tone bra in front of her, gently swaying it for effect.
