Chapter 466: Chapter 466_1 Chapter 466: Chapter 466_1 He reached out and slightly adjusted her angle, making her rest more comfortably and quietly in his arms.
“Let’s go back to the Qiao family first. You’re too tired today.”
Qiao Xiaren hummed in response, and fell asleep instantly.
Her perfectly clear expression was truly like that of a child.
Si Limo held her right hand, taking out a jewelry box from his pocket, and from which he retrieved a pair of rings, slipping one onto her middle finger.
Their interlocked hands mirrored the pair of overlapping silver rings, providing an extraordinarily beautiful and fitting sight.
Although Qiao Xiaren did not attend, the members of the four major families showed no signs of dispersing, drinking and playing cards, turning the banquet into a night-long revelry.
The old man naturally couldn’t keep up with these young people’s frolics and returned home earlier.
When Si Limo’s car reached the Qiao family mansion, the old man was yet to return. The headlamps cut through the dark, casting a path of bright light as the electronic gates slowly opened to let in a white Bentley.
The Bentley parked in the garage. Si Limo got out first, carefully lifting Qiao Xiaren from the car.
Seeing this, Aunt Fang hurriedly led Si Limo to the second floor. The room was originally prepared for Qiao Anchu and hadn’t had time to be rearranged.
A large floor-to-ceiling window lit up the room, revealing a princess bed, a carved mirror, and a crystal chandelier casting a clear, lingering light.
As soon as the light was turned on, Si Limo laid her on the bed.
He had bought her a set of clothes on the way home. The Qiao family had previously prepared many clothes for girls her age, but Qiao Xiaren disliked them since they had been tainted by Qiao Anchu.
Qiao Xiaren opens her eyes in a somewhat bewildered state, blinking a couple of times before realizing she was at the Qiao’s, her hand lying not far from her head.
Si Limo observed Qiao Xiaren gazing at him with her innocent, blinking eyes and didn’t respond. Her exquisite figure lay on the bed, the radiance of her eyes particularly vibrant in the light.
He suddenly leaned in, his hand propped on the edge of the bed, obstructing Qiao Xiaren’s view. As her vision gradually cleared, she saw his face draw closer, his breath seemingly within reach.
Qiao Xiaren closed her eyes. Her eyelashes formed a beautiful fan, as if all the light in the room disappeared the moment she closed her eyes. Si Limo suddenly liked when Xiaren gazed at him with her eyes open. It always gripped his heart firmly.
After waiting for a long time without feeling the anticipated kiss, she instead heard his teasing voice, “Why did you close your eyes? Did you think I was going to kiss you?”
“Weren’t you curious about my abs? Today, I’ll let you feel them.” Si Limo suddenly grabbed her hand, and to her surprise, she instinctively tried to pull it back.
Of course, he did not allow her to retreat halfway. Qiao Xiaren could obviously feel his breathing becoming unstable, his gaze growing intense. She suddenly revealed a playful smirk, her brows arching slightly as she let him guide her hand.
