All of a sudden, the woman, who was ready for bed, was turned over.
Her long, silky hair fanned out over the white duvet, looking especially ravishing.
“What’s the matter?” she asked in confusion.
“Come on, let’s sleep a little later.”
“It’s already past one o’clock. I’m tired.” She protested through clenched teeth.
What does he want again?
“It’s getting late. We should really sleep now. I’m feeling sleepy.”
Exhaustion filled her face, so he could see it too. He found that murderous expression of hers indescribably adorable.
“Alright. Sleep time then.”
His lips curled up into an ambiguous smirk as he pulled her into his arms. He had intended to make her wear and show off the new set of clothes he had prepared for her in front of him. However, her fatigue had made him decide to let her off for the time being.

At the crack of dawn, Ye Erruo groggily lifted her head to see her husband sprawled all over her. It was no wonder she had felt so uncomfortable in her sleep—there was dead weight pressing on her back!
His sleeping posture was ridiculously poor!
The groggy woman climbed out of bed.
The moment her feet touched the floor, though, her entire body slumped forward and she almost fell flat on her face. Thanks to the man’s quick reflexes, he nimbly hugged her in the nick of time and she avoided the fall.
“Where were you going?”
Wide-eyed with shock, she turned around angrily and threw a punch at him. “Scoundrel.”
Her grumbling voice, however, was light and fluttery and lacked any force. “Let go of me.”
His lips curled up. “Where were you going? And how am I a scoundrel? Am I a scoundrel for helping you out when you nearly toppled over?”
“You’re a scoundrel, that’s all.”
If he had slept properly on his side of the bed, would my body have gone numb? Fancy him being so unruly in his sleep when we’ve got such a big bed! What a terrible sleeping habit!
The man laughed. “Where were you going then?”
“Bathroom.”
Mo Jiangye scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.
“Out you go!” said the livid woman.
To think that one’s sleeping habits could change! He used to be very obedient when he slept. His sleeping posture would remain the same the entire night. Now, she realized that his sleeping habits were becoming so terrible that she could hardly tolerate them.
On a few occasions, she had been accidentally kicked by him in the middle of the night while she was asleep. Only God knew where those sleeping manners of his had gone.
When she came limping out of the bathroom, the man was sitting upright against the bed as he waited for her.
“What are you doing here instead of sleeping?”
Why did he wake up so early?
His biological clock isn’t set to wake him up now.
“How can I sleep when you’re in this state?”
If it hadn’t been for me, she would’ve crashed to the floor. What would I have done if she had knocked her head against the hard floor?
Her skin was so tender that a small bump was all it took to leave behind an ugly mark on her. Thus, she needed to be constantly cared for.
Still feeling quite sluggish, the woman crashed hard into the bed, preparing to sleep in for a little longer.
“Ow…” Her face scrunched up in pain as she repeated the curse ‘darn it!’ inwardly over and over again.
As his lips curled up into an evil smirk, Mo Jiangye shifted bit by bit toward her side and leaned over to ask her a question despite already knowing the answer. “What’s wrong?”
She paid him no notice and pulled the blanket over her head instead.
He reached out and slowly peeled the blanket off her before eventually scooping her up. “Where are you hurting? Does it hurt that badly?”
“Go to sleep and stop talking to me.”
