Chapter 1058: Sharing the Same Bed, Dreaming Different Dreams

Liu Xin'ai curled up slightly, lying directly on the very edge of the bed; even the slightest movement could risk her falling right off.

Qin Yiyan's gaze flickered for a moment, and he opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

Forget it.

He was actually quite curious to see what it would look like if someone who always kept a straight face, as if she were above the common world, fell out of bed while sleeping.

Thinking for two seconds, Qin Yiyan withdrew his gaze and continued to work on his unfinished tasks.

It was just that the sound of him typing on the keyboard was much lighter than before.

The bedroom was completely quiet, with only the rhythmic sound of the keyboard.

Liu Xin'ai kept her eyes open, her gaze aimlessly watching the empty air in front of her.

This was probably... what they called "sharing the same bed but dreaming different dreams," right?

Even though they were two people lying on the same bed, they had nothing to say to each other.

A scornful curve appeared at the corners of her lips, and she felt it was somewhat ridiculous.

Immediately after, she suddenly felt the light in front of her dim, reaching a brightness suitable for sleep.

She hadn't done it, so naturally, it was Qin Yiyan.

Liu Xin'ai widened her eyes slightly, subconsciously listening to the sounds behind her.

The sound of typing on the keyboard hadn't stopped, indicating that the person behind her was still working.

Then this light...

Was it adjusted for her?

An incredible thought flashed through her mind.

Soon, it was denied by Liu Xin'ai.

She was overthinking again.

It seemed that ever since she accidentally heard those two servants saying nonsense today, she had become particularly attentive to Qin Yiyan's actions.

Every tiny movement of his would trigger her contemplation.

Forget it.

Trying to guess what a person she couldn't see through at all was thinking was,

in itself, futile.

If he were truly good to her, the two of them wouldn't have ended up unable to even be friends, and those "coercions" wouldn't have happened.

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, stopped thinking about it, and just wanted to fall asleep as quickly as possible.

Because once she was asleep, she wouldn't know anything.

Soon, her breathing became long and steady.

The movements of Qin Yiyan's hands also became slower and slower until they stopped completely; his eyes slowly looked toward the person beside him who had her back to him, a dark light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He had thought she would be too nervous to sleep.

Since she fell asleep so quickly, did that mean she actually... didn't particularly reject him?

Qin Yiyan stared at Liu Xin'ai for a while and set his computer aside.

She was sleeping quietly, without the slightest sign of movement.

Qin Yiyan thought for two seconds, lightened his movements, lay down cautiously, and then tentatively reached out to touch Liu Xin'ai's shoulder, seemingly wanting to pull her into his arms.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he touched her—

"Mmm..."

Liu Xin'ai suddenly let out a soft hum, seemingly having been woken up.

Qin Yiyan quickly pulled his hand back, an unnatural look flashing rapidly across his eyes.

He waited for a while longer, but seeing that she hadn't woken up, he finally felt a bit more at ease and reached out his hand again.

This time, before he could touch her, he hesitated for two seconds.

Then, with a straight face, he withdrew his hand.

Forget it.

If he startled her awake, it would be inevitable for the two of them to argue again.

Perhaps after she fell into a deep sleep, she might roll into his arms on her own.

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan raised his hand to turn off the light and leaned toward Liu Xin'ai's direction.

But he felt no sleepiness at all.

This seemed to be the first time since they got married that they were

lying on the same bed so peacefully.

Although the atmosphere couldn't be called harmonious, at least there were no arguments.

He didn't know why, but whenever he encountered Liu Xin'ai, he would become unlike himself.

Although he had seen all kinds of women, Liu Xin'ai, who came from a prominent family yet acted as if she had seen through the vanity of the world every day, was the first.

In this world, there were far too many people living more miserably than her.

She had merely sacrificed love, that was all.

Whenever he saw that face of hers that seemed to care about nothing, he couldn't help but want to provoke more emotions from her; whether it was laughter or anger, as long as she looked like a "living person," he felt... it was interesting.

Yes, just interesting.

And what could be more interesting than watching someone who wanted to resist but was forced to be conquered by fate?

Especially when this person... was still trapped by his side.

But he didn't want to see that Jiang Chenghao appear by her side again.

Qin Yiyan suddenly thought of something, and a flash of coldness surged in his eyes.

Liu Xin'ai's mobile phone was placed to the side.

After thinking for two seconds, he picked it up and opened the inbox.

Unexpectedly, it was completely empty inside; there was nothing left.

Did she delete the messages?

Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark glint flashing in their depths.

Compared to the existence of the messages, what he cared about more was whether she had replied.

But thinking about it, how could she possibly not reply to her sweetheart's messages?

He glanced at the back of the person who was already fast asleep, his face darkening as he prepared to put the phone down.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally tapped open the call logs.

He saw that it was also completely empty, with only a few frequently contacted numbers.

As if possessed, Qin Yiyan's fingertips could not help but slowly

move toward the "Blacklist" column.

Yet he held no hope in his heart.

How could Liu Xin'ai bear to block her sweetheart?

It should just be...

As he thought this, a familiar number instantly came into view.

It was lying quietly in the blacklist.

That was a string of numbers he could not be more familiar with.

Qin Yiyan naturally recognized Jiang Chenghao's number as well.

Everything was not quite as he had expected, leaving him stunned for a rare moment.

Immediately following that was a look of utter disbelief in his eyes.

She... had actually really blocked Jiang Chenghao's number?

Could it be because of last night...

Thinking of that unpleasant night yesterday, Qin Yiyan's expression suddenly became somewhat complex.

He had not wanted it to be like that.

But as long as it was something related to Jiang Chenghao, it seemed he could instantly lose his reason.

He could tolerate her giving him cold looks, ignoring him, provoking him, and mocking him.

It didn't matter.

Because these things would only stir his desire for conquest, making him want to see her submissive side even more.

But her eyes must not look at other men!

However, looking at it now, it seemed she finally knew how to stop making him angry?

Not bad, a good start.

Since that was the case, he didn't mind being a little better to her.

The next day—

Qin Yiyan was woken up by the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

Last night, he had already informed the domestic servants about his parents coming to stay here for a short while.

Therefore, early in the morning, everyone had already begun tidying up.

He was awake for two seconds before looking toward his side.

He immediately discovered that Liu Xin'ai was still in the same position she had been in when she fell asleep last night; it seemed she hadn't moved all night!

Staring at her for a few seconds, and thinking about how he had wondered before going to sleep last night if she would

roll into his arms on her own, Qin Yiyan suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed.

How could this woman be so boring even when sleeping?

Like a piece of wood!

Thinking this, fueled by his morning grumpiness, he simply reached out unceremoniously and pulled Liu Xin'ai directly into his arms!
