Chapter 206

She asked him to help deal with the Lin Family, and she would help him massage his head to relieve his headaches.

He had been away on a business trip for the past two days, and she had been so busy that she forgot her previous promise.

She felt a bit belatedly embarrassed.

She immediately put down her phone, got out of bed, and went to knock on Qiao Muting's door.

The moment her knocking sound rang out, the door opened.

Qiao Muting was nearly a head taller than her; he lowered his head to look at her as soon as he opened the door.

And this was the first time Shu Xia had knocked on Qiao Muting's bedroom door.

Although the two lived under the same roof, they each had their own rooms and almost never went into each other's rooms.

This was the first time.

His room was just like him; the decor was the same as the style of the entire Xinghai Villa, exuding a coldness.

"Sorry, I was busy and forgot. Is it convenient for you now?"

Qiao Muting gazed at her with some inexplicable deep meaning in his eyes, said it was convenient, then stepped aside to make room and walked toward the bed.

Was this going to be in his room?

Shu Xia hesitated for a moment.

Then she thought that since he had no designs on her, what did she have to worry about or guard against?

She followed him in, open and aboveboard.

"Every time after I massage you, you fall asleep. It's perfect if you lie on the bed while I sit to the side to massage; when I'm done, I'll help you turn off the lights."

Shu Xia saw a chair nearby and placed it by the bedside at just the right height.

Just as she was about to lift that chair, Qiao Muting took it from her, "I'll do it."

"Okay, thank you."

As Qiao Muting moved the chair, he thought to himself, was she truly not afraid of entering his room, or of him doing something to her?

Was she that at ease with him?

Thinking of the possibility that she had no designs on him, Qiao Muting's eyes darkened slightly.

Shu Xia did not notice Qiao Muting's emotional fluctuations.

After she sat down, she realized Qiao Muting hadn't come over.

She turned her head to look.

Upon meeting Qiao Muting's gaze, which was even darker than the night, she was stunned for a moment.

He...

"Is there a problem?"

Why did it feel like he was a bit different from before after returning from this business trip?

He was even harder to read.

Qiao Muting looked at her deeply, "Nothing."

Half an hour later.

Qiao Muting was already asleep with steady breathing.

Shu Xia looked at the sleeping Qiao Muting and couldn't help but take a few extra looks; he was truly gifted with exceptional handsomeness.

His features were very refined.

Even though she was a woman, she couldn't help but feel envious.

When he was asleep, his entire person lacked that sharp aura, making him look like a boy next door.

She smiled; if it weren't for being deceived in love by Fu Chenyan when she was young, she might have had her soul captivated by Qiao Muting by now.

Realizing her thoughts were wandering aimlessly, she hurriedly stood up.

She stretched her arms and waist.

Then, she tiptoed to turn off the light and closed the door.

The moment she closed the door, Qiao Muting opened his eyes.

His pair of black pupils seemed deeper than the night.

He then let out a soft scoff.
