Chapter 834: Chapter 834 I’m Really Afraid I’ve Overslept Because I’m Tired Chapter 834: Chapter 834 I’m Really Afraid I’ve Overslept Because I’m Tired After dinner, they finally returned to their room. Luo Qiao took some clean clothes and entered the bathroom, taking her time before emerging.
When Luo Qiao came out, Lu Yichen came over to help her dry her hair. Only then did Luo Qiao notice that Lu Yichen had already taken a shower, and she quickly asked, “Where did you take a shower?”
Lu Yichen chuckled softly, “If I waited for you to finish, the daylilies would have gone cold.”
Luo Qiao’s face flushed instantly. She was already rosy-cheeked from the shower, which made her even more tempting, like something one longed to bite. Now even her neck was red. Dressed lightly after her bath, her graceful neck and the visible collarbones fueled endless fantasies.
Luo Qiao noticed that his hand slowed down while drying her hair, so she looked up. Just seeing her appealing pink lips was irresistible for Lu Yichen, and he leaned in for a kiss unconsciously.
He had closed the doors and windows when he came back, leaving only the bedside lamp on. As Luo Qiao felt dazed from the kiss, Lu Yichen picked her up and carried her toward the bed.
Luo Qiao held onto Lu Yichen’s neck, her heart pounding wildly as Lu Yichen said huskily and passionately, “Qiaoqiao, thank you for marrying me.”
He gently placed her on the bed and tenderly kissed her again, finally getting his fill…
The gentle spring breeze coaxed them into a light sleep, romance quietly spilling throughout the room. After a night of love, the two lay entwined in sleep.
Worried about oversleeping and causing a delay, Luo Qiao didn’t want to wake up late on her first morning at her in-laws’ house and become the subject of jokes.
Lu Yichen’s internal clock woke him at the usual time. He watched the sweet-sleeping woman in his arms, recalling last night’s beauty and gently kissed her brow, whispering, “Baby, I love you.”
Luo Qiao, ever vigilant, was awakened by his small movement. Startled at first, she slowly realized she had gotten married yesterday. Hearing Lu Yichen say, “You’re awake. There’s still time. If you’re sleepy, sleep a bit more, I’ll wake you when it’s time.”
Lu Yichen knew he had worn her out a bit too much last night, and they hadn’t slept much. Luo Qiao turned her head to meet Lu Yichen’s gaze and asked, “What time is it?”
Lu Yichen glanced at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, “It’s almost six.”
Luo Qiao adjusted her position, stretching her arm around Lu Yichen’s neck, “We can’t sleep any more, we have to get to the library by eight, I can’t break a promise.”
After she finished speaking, Lu Yichen teased, “Are you sure you can get up at eight if we keep hugging like this?”
Realizing the urgent situation below, she panicked and quickly let go, attempting to roll away. Lu Yichen pulled her back with a laugh, “We might not have time for food, but surely for a little soup.”
As he was about to kiss her again, Luo Qiao quickly covered her mouth, giggling while dodging Lu Yichen: “No way, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”
Lu Yichen held her, a smile on his face, “I don’t mind.”
They continued their playful struggle on the bed for twenty minutes, and Lu Yichen held her, his voice hoarse, “Qiaoqiao, stop moving, let me hold you just a little longer.”
Ten minutes later, Lu Yichen still hadn’t let go, and Luo Qiao, a bit frustrated, punched him, “Are you ever going to stop?”
By the time they made it to the front yard, it was already 7:10 AM. Gu Qianru, seeing them coming, greeted with a smile, “Come have breakfast. Aren’t you supposed to go to the library for the new book signing today?”
Lu Yichen replied seriously, “No rush, we’ll make it. Take your time eating, I’ll drive you there.”
Luo Qiao first greeted Old Master Gu, who was reading the newspaper, then sat down to eat, “Aunt, do you want to come with us for some fun?”
Gu Qianru laughed, “I’d better not. Just the two of you go.”
She really wanted to go to see her niece-in-law shine during the event, but the couple had so little time to themselves; she couldn’t be insensitive.
After eating, Luo Qiao went back to her room to touch up her makeup, change clothes, and grab her bag. Then, she and Lu Yichen left the house together. But by the way they walked—oh well!
Those who had been there knew!
When they arrived at the library, it was still before eight, but there were already quite a few people waiting. Tiong Qiufeng, seeing Luo Qiao, joked softly, “I was afraid you’d be too tired and oversleep.”
