Nian Xiaomu got a rude shock!
She was so taken aback that the sleepiness within her disappeared without a trace as she suddenly jumped up from the bed. Rus.h.i.+ng forward, she reached out and hugged Xiao Liuliu’s soft and tiny body.
She scooped her up and got back into the bed.
“Xiao Liuliu, listen to me. You daddy is still busy with work. Be obedient and sleep with Pretty Sister. I’ll go and coax your daddy once you’ve fallen asleep, okay?” asked Nian Xiaomu as she pursed her lips nervously.
Xiao Liuliu was well-convinced.
She laid down beside Nian Xiaomu swiftly as she pulled the blanket and covered it up to her chest.
“Xiao Liuliu shall sleep first. Pretty Sister will go and accompany Daddi later!”
Nian Xiaomu finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Liuliu had finally gone to bed.
She followed suit and laid down as well.
Xiao Liuliu entered her embrace immediately. Just like a ball of cotton candy, her soft and tiny body nestled against Nian Xiaomu’s chest.
Very quickly, her breathing grew deep and even.
She fell asleep soundly.
As Nian Xiaomu stared at Xiao Liuliu’s rosy pink face, she couldn’t help it and gave it a kiss.
It was said that daughters resemble their fathers. Indeed, Xiao Liuliu’s facial features were a photocopy of Yu Yuehan’s.
However, the two of their personalities were completely different.
It was unknown who she got her quick-witted and shrewd expressions from.
Seeing that Xiao Liuliu had fallen asleep and that no one would be able to open the door for Yu Yuehan, Nian Xiaomu finally couldn’t take it anymore and yawned.
Just when she was about to turn in, she realized that she was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
She was still on guard the previous second and afraid of having to see that person. However, he appeared in her mind incessantly at this very moment.
She had locked the door to prevent him from entering. What could he be doing now?
Did he return to the study room to sleep or did he head to the study room to work overtime?
Or could he be drinking alcohol alone in the living room out of anger…
The more Nian Xiaomu thought about it, the more vexed and upset she felt.
After laying on the bed for quite a while, she was no longer sleepy.
Afraid that she would wake Xiao Liuliu up due to her tossing and turning, she simply got up from the bed and returned to her own room after covering up Xiao Liuliu with the blanket.
She gently made her way to the entrance and opened the room door silently.
Tilting and moving her body sideways, she exited the room.
Then, she closed the room door slowly and carefully…
She completely failed to notice the tall and slender figure who was not too far away from her and was leaning against the wall.
With folded arms, he tilted his head up slightly and pressed himself against the wall.
He stared at her with a darkened and faraway gaze.
The corners of his lips curled into a sinister smile when he saw her coming out of Xiao Liuliu’s room.
He strolled toward the unsuspecting Nian Xiaomu.
At the instant that she turned around, he scooped her right into his arms!
“AHHH!!!” Nian Xiaomu’s shrieks were swiftly sealed inside her mouth.
Before she could even catch sight of the door to the room, she was brought into the master bedroom, pressed onto the bed, and picked clean by a particular someone.
In the end, she cried softly and begged for mercy.
–
Nian Xiaomu dragged her exhausted body into the office the next day.
Everyone around her casted concerned gazes at her.
“Manager Nian, what’s the matter with your back?” The secretary walked forward and reached out to hold her.
With a blus.h.i.+ng face, Nian Xiaomu explained and said, “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I’ll head to my office myself and rest. I will be fine.”
Before the other colleagues could probe further, she supported her back hurriedly and entered her office at lightning speed once she finished her sentence.
Following which, she shut the door.
She slammed her b.u.t.t right into the office chair and ma.s.saged her aching back.
She cursed Yu Yuehan silently in her heart.
Just when Nian Xiaomu finally returned back to her senses after a long while, the secretary entered the manager’s office to make a report and came in carrying a few doc.u.ments.
“Manager Nian, the method that we used last time was really efficacious. Apart from our department, the clients from the other departments have also become more well-behaved. This is the latest report on the collaboration project. It is twice as good as what we had expected it to be. I even heard that all of the managers from the other departments want to find a chance to thank Manager Nian.”
