The entire bedroom suddenly became quiet, and the lights were dim.
Dongfang Liuyun could hear the sound of the door closing when Qi Lei left the room, and the water in the bathroom was ready.
After washing her face, she could feel the cold on her face which made her realize that she was not dreaming. Everything that happened today was real and not an illusion…
In spite of everything, she did not feel terribly emotional. She felt like she had been prepared to do this a long time ago.
After washing her face several times, she stopped and walked to the bathtub beside her.
However, she was not the only one going through emotional turmoil.
In the study, Qi Lei finally had time to rest after sending a doc.u.ment to the person-in-charge via email. He slowly leaned back in the chair and turned it around leisurely. It was dark outside and as he looked at the courtyard that was dimly lit, his eyes seemed oddly dark.
He did not know if it was right or wrong to have done what he did, but he seemed to have a certain expectation for his future now. It might be because he had lived alone for too long and for a moment, he felt that if someone were to appear in his world, it seemed like it would be good.
He really hoped that Dongfang Liuyun was the one who would be his muse.
With a deep breath, he could not help but reach out for the cigarette pack. He took one out and lit it. As he puffed out leisurely, the faint smoke instantly filled the air with the scent of burning tobacco…
Dongfang Liuyun did not know how much time had pa.s.sed, but she finally got up when she realized that the water had gone cold. She finally left after cleaning up.
Qi Lei was the only one who lived In the Grand Lake Villa. Although there were several spare rooms, there was only one large bedroom with a huge bed. The style of the house was changed to a European design last month, so it looked luxurious, warm, and clean. It was a vibe that Dongfang Liuyun liked.
Dongfang Liuyun was not tall and had a slim figure. Qi Lei’s bathrobe was very large on her since he was almost six feet tall. It would normally reach his knees, but when she wore it, it came down to her ankle.
When she came out of the bathroom, the bedroom was still empty and Qi Lei was nowhere to be seen.
Dongfang Liuyun thought it over and finally gave up finding Qi Lei. She combed her long hair and then went to bed. She was really tired because she was overworked some time ago and her body was overwhelmed, so it would take a while to recover.
She could sleep just as well in a bed that was not her own, but she was a light sleeper.
Therefore, when she was sleeping, she could still vaguely hear the door being opened even though the footsteps of the person walking in were very light. She soon heard the sound of water in the bathroom, and then…
She heard the faint sound of rustling from the other side of the bed. Soon, she could feel that the other side of the bed had sunken a little.
She was still a little groggy but cautious. She wrapped herself in half of the blanket tightly like a coc.o.o.n.
She did not sleep in this position because of him. Qi Lei did that quite often as well. He would wrap himself tightly with the air conditioner on in the bedroom so that the temperature was low. He could not fall asleep otherwise without the blanket because he would feel completely exposed, and it made him feel extremely insecure, which he was not used to…
He carefully slipped beneath the blanket. The blanket was very big, so even if she had wrapped herself with a large portion of it, he could still cover himself with it.
After taking a bath, he was wide awake, and so were his senses. He had just gotten into bed and could immediately smell a fresh and elegant scent.
It came from her.
They both slept on their backs. Her breathing was shallow, which made him think that she was asleep. When he moved his body, the woman beside him suddenly reached out and held him, saying in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I’m a little tired, so if you’re not in a hurry, I hope you can give me some time.”
When Qi Lei heard that, he was taken aback. He sat up and looked at her under the dim wall light, only to find that she still had her eyes closed, but he could tell from her trembling hand that was holding on to his wrist lightly.
She was nervous…
Qi Lei could not help laughing out loud when he saw this. His dark eyes were filled with joy. When he saw her expression, he grabbed her slender wrist with his hand and teased, “What if I’m in a hurry?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not reply, but she silently opened her eyes and met his deep gaze. For a long time, she did not say anything and continued to close her eyes in silence. The bedroom was suddenly silent. It was as if the conversation earlier was just casual chatter.
Qi Lei could recognize her exhaustion from her expression, so he smiled and lowered his head to kiss the back of her fair hand lightly before tucking her hand back into the blanket.
“Don’t worry. Although I’m not some pure-hearted man, I’m not going to force a woman, especially you who have just become my wife. Rest early and we’ll go pick our rings tomorrow.”
She could still hear his faint, hoa.r.s.e voice and feel the slight warmth that seemed to linger on the back of her hand. Dongfang Liuyun was actually still in a daze, but she stayed quiet with her eyes shut as she remained motionless.
After a long time, she did not notice any movement from the person beside her. It seemed like…
At that moment, she opened her eyes and met Qi Lei’s deep gaze. After she thought about it, she responded, “Okay.”
He raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards as he looked at her quietly with his clear eyes. After thinking about it, he said in a gentle tone, “Then, I’d like to have some rea.s.surance first. Today’s our wedding night after all.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at him and did not say anything. However, after a while, she closed her eyes again.
Qi Lei let out a light cough and he leaned in silently. His thin, cool lips gently pressed against her rosy pink lips.
It was as soft and elegant as he had imagined, but he also tried his best to control himself.
Just a taste…
