Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Jing Yao couldn’t bear to get up, she still retreated from Liang Xun’s arms quietly when she thought of her current situation.
The moment she left, Liang Xun moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.
Jing Yao was quick. She quickly grabbed the bolster she had been hugging for a long time and stuffed it into Liang Xun’s arms.
Liang Xun relaxed his brows and continued sleeping.
Liang Xun actually brought that bolster back for Jing Yao once after work. He even told Jing Yao that she could hug the bolster to sleep if she couldn’t sleep when he wasn’t around at noon.
Just take it that he was with Jing Yao.
It was so childish. Jing Yao took the pillow and stuffed it into the depths of the cabinet.
She even said that she would never hug a bolster to sleep.
In the end, on the first day of Liang Xun’s business trip, she found this bolster because she couldn’t fall asleep.
Jing Yao knew that Liang Xun was very vigilant and would wake up easily, so she did not even wash up in the bedroom.
After leaving the bedroom, she casually found a guest room to wash.
Seeing that she had woken up, Auntie Li quickly scooped a bowl of warm porridge for her and let her eat first. She would make lunch for her later.
Jing Yao nodded and asked, “Where’s Little Zhao?”
Auntie Li said, “She went out to play. She said that Jing Yao doesn’t need her anymore.”
Jing Yao was caught between laughter and tears.
After drinking a bowl of hot porridge, she finally did not feel hungry.
Jing Yao walked towards the living room and first saw Liang Xun’s luggage in the living room. Then, she saw the cardboard box beside the luggage.
It was the box where she kept her snacks and yarn.
Jing Yao felt guilty and instinctively looked at the closed bedroom door.
It was so dark last night, so Liang Xun probably didn’t see what was in the box.
Jing Yao comforted herself. She bent down and wanted to pick up the box and hide it in a safe place.
Auntie Li walked out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She was so frightened that she hurriedly called out to her.
“Yaoyao, what are you doing? Put it down, put it down.” Auntie Li stopped Jing Yao and walked over quickly.
Jing Yao was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the box and looked at Auntie Li helplessly.
Auntie Li stood in front of Jing Yao in shock. “Where are you moving this box? Why didn’t you call me?”
Jing Yao came back to her senses and smiled. “I haven’t thought of where to move it to for the time being, but I definitely can’t let Liang Xun see it.”
Auntie Li knew the reason. She smiled and gave her an idea. “Then why don’t we move it to the balcony?”
“No.” Jing Yao shook her head. “Liang Xun sometimes goes to the balcony to make a call.”
Auntie Li nodded and said awkwardly, “This box is too big. It’s indeed not easy to hide.”
Jing Yao nodded and looked around, trying to find a suitable spot.
The last thing she saw was a sofa against the wall. It was a little far from the wall, leaving a crack. No one would notice that place usually.
“Hide it there.” Jing Yao pointed at the gap.
Auntie Li looked at Jing Yao with a smile. “To think you could think of such a place. Even if Mr. Liang finds that something is wrong, he can’t reach in.”
Jing Yao smiled slightly with a hint of smugness.
Auntie Li helped Jing Yao stuff the yarn and half-completed scarf into the gap, then took out the snacks from the box and stuffed them into the bag.
The two of them were so focused that they did not notice the bedroom door that was opened not far away.
“Did you stuff it in there to attract rats?”
“…” Auntie Li.
Jing Yao was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the word “it’s over” in each other’s eyes. They looked up with an embarra.s.sed smile and saw Liang Xun standing outside the bedroom door with his arms crossed, looking at them calmly.
Auntie Li stuffed the snacks into Jing Yao’s hand and said to Liang Xun, “Since you’re awake, 1’11 go make lunch. The porridge is still hot. Shall 1 scoop a bowl of porridge for Mr. Liang to fill his stomach first?”
Liang Xun nodded. “Thank you, Auntie Li.”
Auntie Li responded, got up, and walked away quickly.
After she left, Jing Yao was left alone, holding two bags of snacks and looking at Liang Xun.
At this moment, not to mention thinking of a countermeasure, even her mind was blank. There was nothing inside.
Liang Xun walked up to her step by step with his long legs. He squatted down and flipped through the snacks in the box, then looked up at Jing Yao on the sofa.
“They’re all Yaoyao’s favorites. Who bought them for her? He’s quite attentive,” he asked Jing Yao.
Jing Yao was silent for a moment before saying, “Little Zhao bought it for herself.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. “They are Shen Zhao’s, so what are you hiding them?”
Jing Yao said,”… 1 got a few packets from her.”
“How many packets?” Liang Xun took a closer look at the crack. It was dark and he couldn’t see what was inside, but he saw a small piece of yarn that was accidentally exposed.
He could understand why she hid snacks.. Why did she hide yarn too?
