When Ye Ning woke up the next morning, it was the sound of a flushing toilet that disturbed her rest.
Upon hearing the sound, her thick, long lashes trembled slightly and her eyelids slowly fluttered open.
In the instant she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling above her, one she hadn’t seen in a long time. Her freshly awakened mind momentarily froze, but once she regained her bearings, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly glanced to the side.
She remembered falling asleep last night being held by that man. So now...?
Fortunately, the glance she cast revealed no one beside her, just a deeply sunken couch cushion that hadn’t bounced back and a blanket tossed carelessly to the side that was somewhat chilly. That person was long gone.
Seeing this, she immediately sat up from the couch, ready to hastily leave this place. Just at that moment, a small Baozi was carried out of the bathroom by a tall figure.
"Mommy, you’re awake?"
It was Xiaobao, already dressed, and when he saw her sitting up on the couch, he quickly broke free from Daddy’s arms and sprinted over with tiny legs.
Seeing him, Ye Ning quickly opened her arms to catch the little bun: "Awake, has my darling gotten up too?"
"Uh-huh, we’re all going to school. Mommy, will you take me to school?"
Ye Ning found herself at a loss for words!
It’s not that she didn’t want to take him, but she hadn’t gone home all night, and Li Shu must be worried to death by now.
Ye Ning felt unsure of how to answer this child.
Luckily, at that moment, the man who had carried him out of the bathroom came over as well. Seeing the child clinging to his mother, he said, "Mommy has to go to work. Daddy will take you today."
The little one, hearing this, pouted his mouth but had no choice but to agree.
Ye Ning felt relieved and could finally exhale deeply.
As she got up from the couch, she watched the man who had just saved her from an awkward situation go to the kitchen’s refrigerator to fetch milk for the kid. Remembering what happened last night, her face flushed red.
She was terrified he would say it was she who insisted on staying over and sleeping together last night.
So after standing there for a while, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Well... last night, I intended to go home, but you were sick, and... I ended up taking care of you and just... fell asleep here!"
Heaven knows what she was trying to explain!
Ye Ning was so angry and upset that she wished she could bite off her own tongue!
Fortunately, the man was busy fetching milk for the child and didn’t notice her expression. Hearing that she stayed because she was taking care of him, he lowered his gaze to the milk carton and twitched slightly.
"And then you felt cold sleeping, so you snuggled up to me?"
"When I woke up, you were laying completely on top of me!"
It isn’t summer yet, how could he be pulling such a stunt with June’s frost?
Ye Ning glared at a face as if she’d taken great advantage of him, feeling so angry her neck turned red: "What are you babbling about? Last night it was clearly you who pulled me to sleep. You got muddled and pulled me up."
"Really? Why don’t I remember?"
"Didn’t I tell you, you were muddled? You were babbling nonsense, talking nonsense all night long!!"
