Chapter 500: Chapter 497
His eyes hinted at a deeper understanding.
Afterward, he followed her up the stairs.
Her robe was indeed a bit too short.
After finishing sit-ups and various exercises, Wen Xian was genuinely tired. The temperature was also a bit low, she quickly kneeled on the tatami and pulled over the soft quilt, wanting to dive into bed and sleep well.
She shivered, but just as she reached out to pull the quilt over, her back was suddenly pushed.
She exclaimed, and instantly her whole body was lying there.
She hurriedly turned her head back, but the man behind her pressed on her waist, his voice low and husky, “This will warm you up.”
Kekexili was quiet. Snow fell outside the cabin from the dark orchid sky, thick as goose feathers.
Today’s snow was windless, silently falling, immersing everything in the deep beauty of winter.
Wen Xian nestled sweetly in the man’s strong embrace, sleeping deeply, her delicate and slender neck and smooth shoulders slightly revealed under the quilt.
In the arms of her man, she felt so safe, and her sleep quality significantly improved.
This was the cabin of her dreams, the man of her dreams.
She truly hoped that all this beauty could last forever.
Near dawn, the snow stopped, but the wind began to howl. Although it was three or four in the morning, it was still pitch black outside.
Just when everything seemed quietly serene, suddenly, somewhere in Kekexili, a loud bang sounded.
It was like a sound from a void dream, but it still made the man sleeping in the cabin suddenly open his eyes in the night.
The sound disappeared as if it had split from a dream back to reality, ceasing to exist.
Yet, something inside the man uncomfortably sank.
As if an inexplicable premonition had dawned upon him.
At that moment, his phone suddenly buzzed and lit up.
He quickly reached out and took it.
His phone was placed on the edge of the bed, always within easy reach for receiving messages.
Once a special forces Captain, he was conditioned to be alerted by any slight movement in his surroundings, especially at such sensitive times.
He looked at the woman sleeping in his arms, carefully slid his arm from under her neck, and then checked the message.
But upon seeing it, his hand holding the phone froze momentarily.
Then he swiftly flipped off the quilt, got out of bed, and prepared to go downstairs and leave.
Yet, before leaving, his steps paused.
Then, turning around, looking at the small woman still sleeping in the previous position on the tatami, he walked over and bent down. One hand supporting her pillow and the other very lightly pulling the quilt up to tuck it under her chin.
Finally, he gently kissed her brows and eyes, then left without looking back.
He went downstairs, quickly put on his clothes, took his car keys, and left.
Although the cabin had windows, they were all fitted with protective grills, so the security was still very high.
Moreover, he had installed a hidden camera nearby, so he would be notified if any strangers intruded.
