Chapter 2096: Mother-in-law, You Good
To see how he and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya were like at home usually.
Han Zhuoling wiped his face with his hand to make himself wake up fully.
He propped his upper body up. He saw that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was still sound asleep, with one side of her shoulder and elbow exposed above the covers.
There was even a red mark on her shoulder that was left by him.
As if she felt a little chilly, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya hid her fair elbow beneath the covers.
Her lips were full and reddened, even looking a little swollen from having just been kissed by him.
It was as tender as a piece of jelly.
Han Zhuoling lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.
Afraid that he would wake her up, he did not dare to use much strength.
Seeing s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s eyelashes flutter scared him so much that he quickly moved back.
Who would have imagined that the great First Young Master Han actually had such careful and delicate moments?
Luckily, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was not awoken by him. After her eyelashes fluttered a little, she then continued to sleep.
Han Zhuoling heaved a sigh of relief. It was rare that he woke up early on a weekend, so he went for a one-round morning jog before coming back.
The moment he came back, he realized that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had already woken up.
Han Zhuoling was still sweaty all over. He did not even care about wiping himself first but walked towards her and asked, “Why are you awake?”
“When I was asleep, I was trying to find you, but it was empty, so I woke up,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said. She had already washed up. Even if she felt a little sleepy earlier on, she was fully awake now.
She did not put on makeup; her face looked fair and clean. “This timing is perfect. You can go and shower, I’ll prepare breakfast.”
Han Zhuoling nodded, then asked again, “You woke up so early, but aren’t you sleepy? You slept a little late last night.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya thought to herself, “You make it sound as if I was the only one who slept late.”
Did he not think about who it was exactly who’d tired her out until midnight before letting her sleep?
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him without hesitation, to let him understand that feeling.
Han Zhuoling touched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows with his finger and laughed.
This little girl, she felt no pressure scolding him at all now.
Seeing how she was not being all formal with him made him especially happy.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya thought to herself, “Why does this man feel a little dumb early in the morning?”
He actually looked so happy when she rolled her eyes at him.
In Han Zhuoling’s eyes, it was as if s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s thoughts were written all over her face. She did not hide her thoughts at all.
He laughed as he lowered his head and kissed her. “I’ll go bathe.”
Han Zhuoling went to bathe and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya started preparing breakfast.
Anyway, there was enough time today, so s.h.i.+ Xiaoya prepared plentifully.
Han Zhuoling came out after bathing. His bath towel was still hanging on his head. He rubbed his wet hair with the towel as he walked into the kitchen and saw that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was not done preparing yet.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya then said, “I will be done in another ten minutes or so, you just wait for a while more.”
“There’s no rush.” As Han Zhuoling said that, he then slowly walked back to the living room while towel-drying his hair.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was in the kitchen, so she naturally could not see that after Han Zhuoling walked into the living room, he picked up his phone and made a call.
“Mom, it’s me, Zhuoling,” Han Zhuoling said.
Even if s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was there, just hearing what he said, she would think that he was speaking to Lin Liye over the phone.
But in actual fact, the person on the other end of the phone right now was Du Yiqin.
“Zhuoling.” Du Yiqin was shocked. Why would Han Zhuoling call her?
Han Zhuoling checked the time. It was almost 9 AM. He asked, “I’m not disturbing you from your sleep, right?”
“No, I woke up early with your dad.” Du Yiqin got used to it quite fast and just used “your dad” directly to refer to s.h.i.+ Guanzhong.
This move actually stunned Han Zhuoling for a moment.
Mother-in-law, you good!
