C46 She Really Didn't Give Him Anything!

Shen Geyao felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her at her own words. In the past, she would never have dared to say something like that, but now she had no choice. If she didn't explain herself clearly, this jerk might really get the wrong idea.

Thinking back to the scene earlier, her face flushed again. He had actually tried to do that! Thankfully, just like that night, she couldn't handle it, and he finally stopped. Even though nothing really happened, being pinned down by him was still painful.

It seemed like Liang Chenyu was convinced by her explanation, his cold demeanor softening a bit. He appeared to be getting sleepy again, his face resting against her. But this time, it felt different.

Geyao was dying of embarrassment, but once this devil was on top of her, there was no moving him! "Ninth Master," she whispered, giving him a gentle nudge.

"You really didn't give it to him?" Liang Chenyu's voice was a bit hoarse and drowsy. Even though he was on the verge of sleep, he couldn't let this go.

Geyao sighed, wishing she could just kick him off her, but he was immovable! "I really didn't. Didn't you already check?" If she had been with another man, would it have been so difficult for him?

Finally satisfied with her answer, Chenyu's large hand settled on her waist, giving it a gentle squeeze.

As Shen Geyao almost couldn't resist fighting back, he suddenly flipped over, rolling off her. Stretching out his long arm, he pulled her tightly into his embrace and closed his eyes. "Don't move, let me sleep for a bit. I'm exhausted."

Shen Geyao wanted to sleep too; she was utterly worn out! But they couldn't sleep like this! Although the couch in the room was large enough to comfortably fit both of them, her nightgown was torn to shreds, and his clothes were in disarray. Most importantly, the door wasn't even locked. Anyone could just push it open and walk right in.

What if someone suddenly came in? If they saw her and the Ninth Master sleeping together, the whole house would be in an uproar. The kind but frail old lady would probably have a heart attack from the shock.

Sometimes, Shen Geyao really hated her tendency to attract bad luck. Whatever she feared seemed to happen. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Liang Xinghao's deep voice came from outside, "Yao, are you asleep?"

"I'm already asleep!" Shen Geyao blurted out in a panic.

Only after she answered did she realize she was in big trouble! Who could respond if they were truly asleep? Outside, Liang Xinghao frowned slightly, but the next moment, he smiled faintly.

It seemed like her actions tonight had really scared her. The fear was evident in her voice when she responded earlier.

"Don't worry, I'll just be a minute," he said, about to push the door open.

Seeing the door handle turn from afar, Geyao was so panicked she could hardly breathe.

"Don't come in!" She tried to escape from Chenyu's embrace, but he held her tightly like an octopus, leaving her no room to get away.

In desperation, she blurted out, "I'm changing clothes, I'm not dressed! Don't come in!"

Xinghao immediately released the door handle, refraining from entering.

Geyao was about to find an excuse to quickly send him away when suddenly, the man beside her flipped over, pinning her down again.

"Ah!" She gasped instinctively as his hand pressed against her.

Outside the door, Xinghao frowned, his fingers hovering over the handle again. "Yao, what's going on?"

He had clearly heard her scream.

Even though he believed the family's security was tight enough to prevent any danger, caution was paramount.

Geyao couldn't push Chenyu's hand away fast enough and hurriedly called out towards the door, "Nothing, I just tripped over my dress—"

She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the face so close to hers!

Chenyu kissed her! He actually kissed her!

But he was clearly still asleep, his snores so evident.

This devil, jerk! Even asleep, he was bullying her!

“Ugh,” Geyao managed to dodge Chenyu’s lips and quickly called out toward the door, “It’s late, Xinghao. Can we talk tomorrow? I’m not comfortable being with a man this late at night.”

Damn it! This jerk! Can he please move his wandering hands away?

“Ah!” She felt a sharp nip on her shoulder and almost cried out again.

Thankfully, she held it in this time!

“Xinghao, I’m dressed like this, and I really don’t want to change to see anyone. I need to sleep!”

She rushed through her words, terrified that the restless Chenyu might do something else that would make her scream.

Xinghao hesitated for a moment, not even sure why he felt the need to come in.

Thinking about it, he realized he could have just called to relay the message.

“It’s nothing. Tomorrow’s the weekend, and everyone wants to go out on the water. I just wanted to let you know we’re leaving at ten in the morning.”

“Okay, I’ll get up early. You—uh! You should go back to sleep. It’s late.”

Geyao was on the verge of losing it. She really couldn’t hold back much longer. Why wasn’t Xinghao leaving yet?

Finally, from outside the door, Xinghao replied with a simple "Okay" and turned to leave.

Geyao let out a shaky breath, her heart still on edge, only to tense up again immediately.

"Stop biting, it hurts," she muttered to herself about the troublesome man.

Drunk Chenyu was beyond words for her.

She concluded that when Chenyu was drunk, he was just like a child!

After much effort, she managed to get him into bed, cleaned his face and hands, and was about to find a spot to sleep for the night when he pulled her back once more.

It had taken her nearly half an hour to coax him into letting her go earlier.

Now, with her hand caught again, she felt utterly drained and incapable of soothing him any further.

Exhausted, Geyao sat on the edge of the bed, only to be pulled down into his arms.

If he hadn't fallen into a deep sleep after holding her, she would have been convinced he was pretending.

But Chenyu truly wasn't doing it on purpose.

This man, who usually appeared so cold and aloof, was surprisingly clingy in private.

Even in his sleep, he refused to let go, needing to hold her to rest peacefully.

Luckily, she had managed to lock the door from the inside while he let go for a moment.

With the door locked, maybe she could finally get some rest.

Shen Geyao yawned, feeling both exhausted and sleepy, almost at her limit. Half-asleep, she found the embrace beside her incredibly warm and comforting. She curled up a bit more, not quite sure when she had moved closer into his arms. Just a short nap, she thought, just a little while. Then she’d wake him up and make sure he left.
