Lu Jinghan pinched Han Xi’s little face, his lips curving into a charming smile, "Is Mrs. Lu threatening me?"
"Yes, I’m threatening you. If you don’t make it clear, we’ll sleep separately from now on."
In fact, Han Xi was so exhausted from pretending. She knew he wasn’t flirting with the young girls, but she just couldn’t help teasing him a bit.
Lu Jinghan nodded earnestly, then raised his fingers to swear, "In my heart, there’s only Han Xi. If I dare flirt with any other woman, may I be struck by lightning..."
"Pfft, who let you make such curses." Han Xi hurriedly covered Lu Jinghan’s mouth with her brows furrowed.
"You’re reluctant to let me do that?"
Han Xi realized what was happening belatedly: "Lu Jinghan, you big liar, you did it on purpose, making me worry about you."
Lu Jinghan’s deep-set eyes were filled with laughter, his elegant fingers spread open Han Xi’s palm, intertwining their fingers: "Mrs. Lu is nervous about me, worried about me, cares about me... But my love for Mrs. Lu will only be more than what you have for me."
The two of them walked forward hand in hand: "Mrs. Lu must have forgiven me by now, and when we get home, we absolutely cannot sleep separately."
"Hmm... let’s see how you behave."
"Han Xi, don’t go too far."
"Is this how you admit your mistake?"
"... I was wrong, Mrs. Lu."
Who would believe that the dignified president of the Lu Group, a cold and abstinent male god, could be so obedient and compliant in front of his little wife at home?
Han Xi and her team stayed in Lin City for four days before leaving. On their way back, Han Xi almost slept the entire time. The past few days, the medical team, including her, were tirelessly treating the wounded, and they were truly exhausted.
When they got home, a light drizzle was falling from the sky. Lu Jinghan parked the car, opened the door, got out, and walked around to the passenger side. He took off his coat and draped it over Han Xi before carefully carrying her into the villa.
Sister Zhang heard the door open and quickly came to greet them: "Sir, is Madam asleep?"
"Yes, is dinner ready?" Lu Jinghan asked as he changed his shoes.
"It’s ready, all the dishes Madam likes, as per your instructions."
Sister Zhang smiled and walked over, taking Han Xi’s rain-soaked coat away.
"Hmm, keep it warm for now. We’ll eat after Xiao Xi wakes up."
After changing his shoes, Lu Jinghan carried Han Xi upstairs, laid her on the bed, and tucked her in. Only then did he go to the guest room for a shower before heading to the study to deal with work.
Although Feng Yi was at the company during the past few days they were away, many documents still piled up waiting for his review. Lu Jinghan rubbed his temples tiredly and opened his computer to process emails.
Han Xi didn’t know how long she had slept before waking up. She blinked her drowsy eyes, lazily stretched, and got out of bed.
She took a warm shower in the bathroom, changed into a comfortable cotton pajama, and lay back on the bed, where she fell asleep again.
By the time Lu Jinghan finished dealing with work, it was already midnight. He opened the bedroom door and saw his little wife still sleeping soundly. Gently, he lay on the bed, turned to her, and held the woman who had her back to him in his arms before drifting off to sleep as well.
The next morning, Han Xi woke up naturally. The dean gave the medical staff who went to support a day off, telling them to have a good rest.
