That night, the two of them embraced in their sleep, but did nothing more.
With a beauty by my side, I had to force myself to practice the restraint of Liuxia Hui, truly a test of one's willpower.
Li Xiaoyao didn't sleep well, and neither did Zhu Xiaoyue.
When they woke up in the morning, Zhu Xiaoyue had a pair of panda eyes.
"Ah!!!!"
Zhu Xiaoyue's scream echoed from the bathroom, startling Li Xiaoyao who hurried inside, only to find her standing in front of the mirror, unscathed.
Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said, "Big sister, what are you screaming about this early in the morning?"
Zhu Xiaoyue turned to look at him, pointing at her reflection in the mirror, "Panda eyes, I've got panda eyes."
Li Xiaoyao looked and indeed, her panda eyes were quite severe—a clear sign of poor sleep.
"Please, they're just panda eyes, they'll go away in a few days," Li Xiaoyao said with a helpless face.
But Zhu Xiaoyue twisted her body and said, "No, I don't want panda eyes, it's all your fault, because of you."
Won, when they beco unreasonable, not even the king of heaven can deal with them.
"Alright, alright, it's my fault, it's my fault," Li Xiaoyao clearly understood that at tis like this, one should never argue about who's right or wrong. A man's job is to apologize, otherwise once the discussion starts, it'll never end.
Zhu Xiaoyue ca over, pouting, "I don't care, I don't want panda eyes, you have to think of sothing."
This was truly illogical, if it were soone else, they might have started arguing with her by now, but Li Xiaoyao was no ordinary man.
"It's just a pair of panda eyes, co here, I'll give you a massage," Li Xiaoyao turned and walked back to the bed.
Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him skeptically, "Can you really get rid of the panda eyes?"
Li Xiaoyao shook his fist, "Have you forgotten? I know dical techniques."
Zhu Xiaoyue's eyes brightened; she had indeed forgotten this.
"You just lie down, close your eyes, and don't move," Li Xiaoyao ca over, sat cross-legged on the bed, and gently pressed his index fingers on her eyebrow contours, while his thumbs pressed on the upper sides of her eyes.
"Okay," Zhu Xiaoyue obediently did as he said. Enjoy new chapters from empire
Li Xiaoyao's fingers were very gentle, with a current seemingly flowing through his fingertips, slowly pressing around the eyes, very comforting.
After about four or five minutes, Li Xiaoyao withdrew his hands and said, "There you go."
"That quick?" Zhu Xiaoyue sounded disappointed; she actually wished Li Xiaoyao would keep massaging.
"Yeah, it wasn't a big issue," Li Xiaoyao smiled at her, averted his gaze, and hopped off the bed.
So fifteen minutes later, both of them had freshened up and left the room to go out and find sothing to eat.
anwhile, at Zhang ng's place.
Zhang ng had woken up early today, or rather, she barely slept last night.
She was too excited. Li Xiaoyao actually ca to find her and even helped her resolve her problems.
She didn't have to marry a man she disliked; she could be with Li Xiaoyao now.
But just as she was indulging in such beautiful thoughts, the sound of firecrackers suddenly erupted downstairs.
Zhang ng was stunned for a mont before quickly walking to the window, and then she saw about twenty black cars parked in a line below.
At the very front was a BMW, and from it stepped Liu Yang, dressed as a groom, out of the car.
Liu Yang was the owner of a casino and was only 33 years old. He started as a small-ti thug, using sheer ferocity to succeed, and over a decade, he eventually amassed a fortune worth tens of millions.
Of course, that fortune wasn't clean.
Liu Yang, with a beaming smile, bowed to thank his friends who had co with him to attend the wedding, before heading upstairs with his best man.
Upon seeing Liu Yang ascend, Zhang ng's delicate and pretty face instantly turned pale.
Li Xiaoyao would co to find her; he had said so, and she had no doubt in her heart that he would keep his promise.
It must just be early, and Li Xiaoyao must still be in bed. It had to be that.
As Zhang ng was comforting herself, the door suddenly burst open, and her father walked in from outside, his expression grave as he asked, "When is Xiao Li coming over?"
Zhang ng simply shook her head without speaking.
Seeing his daughter's expression, her father realized sothing must have happened and said, "Call him and ask when he is going to co over."
Only then did Zhang ng rember that yes, she should call him.
Zhang ng took out her cellphone and dialed Li Xiaoyao's number, only to find it turned off.
The last bit of hope in Zhang ng's heart shattered with the sound of the automated ssage indicating the phone was off.
Zhang ng put down her phone and said with a bitter smile, "It's turned off."
Her father's complexion darkened. Turned off?
Li Xiaoyao had clearly stated yesterday that he would co today, but his phone was off first thing in the morning. To her father, this clearly ant Li Xiaoyao was having regrets.
Indeed, could such good fortune really happen to their Zhang Family?
An unexpected visit, followed by a no-questions-asked repaynt of two hundred thousand. Could such imnse luck really fall upon the Zhang Family?
...
Li Xiaoyao's phone had run out of battery; it hadn't been charged all of last night.
Moreover, Li Xiaoyao had no idea that Liu Yang was coming over early this morning to pick up the bride; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't still be leisurely having breakfast with Zhu Xiaoyue.
When he left the house, Li Xiaoyao gave his phone to the front desk for them to charge.
After finishing breakfast and returning, Li Xiaoyao retrieved his phone, turned it on, and saw several missed calls.
One was from Zhang ng; the others were from unfamiliar numbers, but one of these numbers was impressive, ending with five eights.
Sothing didn't sit right with Li Xiaoyao, why would Zhang ng call him so early in the day?
So he imdiately called back, but the call went to voicemail, indicating the recipient's phone was off.
Li Xiaoyao's brow furrowed at once, and he said to Zhu Xiaoyue beside him, "I need to step out for a bit, you rest well in the room."
Zhu Xiaoyue grabbed his hand, saying, "I'll go with you."
"Don't be silly, rest well in the room, I'll be back once I've dealt with the matter."
Zhu Xiaoyue knew what Li Xiaoyao was about to do; she had been prepared for it since their intimate encounter the night before.
By a successful man's side, there would never be just one woman.
This was sothing Zhu Xiaoyue had known from the start.
But when it ca to Li Xiaoyao going to see another woman, Zhu Xiaoyue still couldn't help but feel unhappy.
That's just how it is; no woman wants to share her man with another.
However, Zhu Xiaoyue didn't make a scene; instead, she tiptoed up and gave Li Xiaoyao a kiss on the lips, then blushed and said, "Be careful on the road."
In such situations, won who cry and nag will only annoy n.
A smart woman will find other ways to make a man love her a little more.
Although Zhu Xiaoyue was rather blunt, in this aspect, she was quite clear-headed.
