Chapter 296

Shu Xia's face turned even redder.

She was incredibly shocked.

How could someone who looked so cold and abstinent on a daily basis be so fierce in bed?

"Alright, I'll go take a shower first." Shu Xia forced herself to stay calm.

She wrapped herself in the quilt and was about to get out of bed to find her clothes.

Qiao Muting looked at the woman's delicate and graceful back, his throat bobbed, and he said, "I helped you wash up last night."

Shu Xia's body stiffened: "..."

Was he this considerate?

Thinking of herself lying in the bathtub like a dead fish, being cleaned inside and out by Qiao Muting, she felt she wouldn't be able to face him today.

Looking at the mess on the floor, she was even more on the verge of tears.

Condoms were all over the floor.

Clothes were thrown everywhere.

Before she could finish looking, a long arm appeared around her waist, pulling her back into the quilt, and she lay perfectly in the crook of his arm.

"Sleep a little longer."

There was heavy sleepiness in Qiao Muting's voice.

Both of them were stark naked, and Shu Xia didn't dare to move, as if walking on thin ice.

However, her body was aching and exhausted, and she also wanted to sleep a little longer.

In a daze, Shu Xia's thoughts wandered; they say men are refreshed after the act, so why did Qiao Muting look so sleepy?

Was he too tired?

Was his body actually healthy or not?

Qiao Muting did not know what Shu Xia was thinking; it was rare for him to still feel sleepy after waking up, the first time in many years of insomnia. When he had finished washing Shu Xia and put her on the bed in the morning, he wanted to smoke a post-coital cigarette, but just as he took it out, he heard Shu Xia let out a faint sound of pain.

Afterwards, as if possessed, he got into bed and held her, and he fell asleep smoothly in almost a few minutes.

Before at Laozhai, just lying on the same bed had eased his insomnia symptoms; he hadn't expected that sleeping while holding her would be even better.

At the same time.

Zhang Tezhu, who was at the company, looked at the curious gazes everyone cast over from time to time, and he really didn't know what to say.

This was the first time the boss hadn't come to the company on a Monday.

In everyone's eyes, the boss was a workaholic; a workaholic had actually not come to the company on a workday.

And it wasn't for a business trip.

Although they were curious why, no one dared to ask.

Zhang Tezhu, the only one who knew the truth, looked at everyone's curious appearance and could only say that the boss needed to rest.

The boss did indeed need to rest.

Thinking of the message he received in the morning, Zhang Tezhu's not-so-restless heart became restless; he should go find a woman too!

The boss said last night was too much, and he and Shu Xia needed to rest for a day, telling him to call Gu Lao.

The words "too much" spun in his mind all day; who could understand this feeling?

——

And today, Gu Cheng, leaning on a cane, arrived at the Gu Corporation Building with some difficulty.

He wanted to see Shu Xia.

Because he went to the police station in the morning and saw Xing Yu, and after some questioning, he learned that the person who married Shu Xia was not Xing Yu.

Then, who was the person who married Shu Xia?

Was Shu Xia lying to him?

However, after he rushed over, he learned that Shu Xia had taken the day off!

He knew very well how serious Shu Xia was about work; now that Shu Xia still had that Ancient Painting of Grandpa Ding's that needed restoration in her hands, how could she suddenly rest on a Monday?

Gu Lao looked at his grandson in front of him and said helplessly, "If there's something, there's something; how can there be so many whys? I don't come when I have things to do either."

He really didn't want to tell the truth.
