Yet she dared not move, lying stiffly on the bed without any movement, only silently praying for time to pass quickly, for morning to come soon so she could be relieved.
Beside her, Gu Ningyi closed his eyes again after she lay down, and the bedroom returned to silence. But after a while, the rustling sound of Gu Ningyi turning over could be heard.
Although Dong Xin Yan did not look at Gu Ningyi, she could still feel that he had turned over to face her, and her nerves involuntarily tensed up.
However, Gu Ningyi merely turned over without any other movements, and Dong Xin Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The earlier lovemaking had nearly exhausted her, and if Gu Ningyi wanted to do anything else now, she definitely couldn’t take it, plus she had shooting to do tomorrow.
Subsequently, Gu Ningyi turned over a few more times intermittently. At first, whenever there was any slight noise from him, Dong Xin Yan would be on edge, but after a few times, he just continued to sleep quietly, and she couldn’t help but slowly relax. Having been running around all day, getting caught in the rain, and then going through an intense event, once she let her guard down, a wave of drowsiness hit her like a storm. She closed her eyes, and soon she was in a deep sleep.
Gu Ningyi seemed to be sleeping, but his mind was clear. He didn’t know if it was because the residual vibes from recent desires hadn’t faded or if the restlessness caused by Dong Xin Yan in his heart hadn’t subsided.
In any case, he just couldn’t sleep.
And Dong Xin Yan was clearly sleeping almost at the edge of the bed, maintaining an arm’s length from him, yet her faint fragrance still lingered around his nostrils, a subtle scent that only made him more irritable. Follow current novels on novel⚑fire.net
He abruptly opened his eyes, turned his head, and his dark eyes looked at Dong Xin Yan.
When she first lay down, she was tense all over, vigilant at every moment, but now she had relaxed.
Because she lay with her back to him, he couldn’t see her expression, yet he could still sense her slow and even breathing, suggesting she was already fast asleep.
Gu Ningyi gazed at her back, and the longer he looked, the more his dark eyes narrowed intensely, revealing a trace of extreme dissatisfaction in their depths.
He was wide awake, yet Dong Xin Yan could sleep so soundly? Whose territory was this after all?
He had clearly planned to keep her from sleeping well by having her stay here, yet now the one unable to sleep was himself? Does this count as reaping what you sow?
Filled with dissatisfaction, Gu Ningyi contemplated waking Dong Xin Yan, but as he reached out to her shoulder, she turned unconsciously in her sleep to face him.
Her serene sleeping face suddenly broke into Gu Ningyi’s view.
Dong Xin Yan was indeed beautiful, with exceptionally delicate features and skin that was not only fair but also tinged with a rosy hue. Her pink cheeks gleamed, and with her eyes closed, her thick long lashes cast a curving shadow on her eye sockets, so stunningly beautiful it was heart-stirring.
He wondered what she was dreaming about, as the corners of her lips lifted slightly, a subtle curve that seemed to carry an infectious power.
Gu Ningyi’s hand froze stiffly in midair.
Dong Xin Yan must be dreaming about something pleasant. Ever since the incident with Cheng Ziyang, he hadn’t seen her smile. The smiles she showed him were only forced, yet now, she smiled in her dreams.
