Chapter 739 - 747: Are You... Going to Sleep Here?
After hesitating for a moment, he held her and went to the bathroom.
He cleaned her up, applied some medicine, and then carried her back to the bedroom.
Chu Xiaoge had of course strongly opposed him helping her bathe and apply medicine, but he was very strong, and his gaze was intimidating. She couldn’t resist at all and could only let him do it.
By the time they were back under the covers, her face was so red it felt like it was on fire!
Things she had never done in her whole life were all done today!
And what’s more, that gentle man turned out to be the very man she had admired for half her life...
This happiness came a little too suddenly.
Seeing Chu Xiaoge’s cautious curled-up figure, Shang Dongyuan’s heart was moved. He reached over and drew her into his arms.
Every time he saw her, he always inexplicably felt a sense of pity.
Chu Xiaoge’s face grew hotter as she was held by him, her big eyes filled with mist.
The happiness she had longed for, she never expected to obtain it like this.
She choked up and quietly wiped away her tears.
The lights inside the room were also turned off, with only the bright moonlight spilling in through the window, providing some illumination.
Shang Dongyuan glanced out of the window, his arm still under Chu Xiaoge’s head, drawing circles on her smooth shoulder.
Chu Xiaoge knew that he wasn’t asleep yet, probably thinking about something.
"Are you... going to sleep here?" Chu Xiaoge seemed to gather some courage, asking questions while being held by him.
"Mm." Shang Dongyuan responded with a simple hum, without further explanation, and continued his silence.
In the dark, only the sound of their breathing remained.
Chu Xiaoge knew he might not be inclined to speak, so she too followed in silence and obediently closed her eyes.
Her soft little hand unconsciously reached out, landing on Shang Dongyuan’s waist.
She carefully explored, hugging him for a while. Not feeling any rejection from Shang Dongyuan, she scooted her head closer to him, snuggling up more tightly.
Even after five years, her heart still couldn’t help but draw near to him...
Shang Dongyuan never rejected her from start to finish, and Chu Xiaoge contentedly drifted into a deep sleep.
If this was a dream, she hoped to never wake up for a lifetime.
As for the little movements of the woman in his arms, how could Shang Dongyuan not notice?
Under the shared blanket, she first wrapped her arms around his waist, then pressed her entire body against him...
He wasn’t someone who liked others getting close, but she was an exception.
Such a soft body, and such smooth and firm skin under his hand—it all made him reluctant to reject her.
People truly are strange.
For five years, he persistently searched for someone.
Yet five years later, when another person appeared, he suddenly stopped often thinking about that woman named Chu Nian.
When holding Chu Xiaoge, his heart felt quiet and at peace.
There was no overwhelming excitement; he thought he wasn’t with Chu Xiaoge because he was smitten, but because he craved this peace.
A good night’s sleep.
The two of them unexpectedly overslept.
Outside, the sun was already high in the sky.
In the side bedroom, little Chuchu rubbed her eyes and groggily climbed out of bed.
"Mommy?" she called out softly, but there was no answer.
Chuchu mumbled to herself, went to the closet to find some clothes, got dressed, and casually ran a comb through her short hair, not bothering to style it properly.
