C35 Push Her Hand away

He was the first to speak, his voice sounding hoarse and lazy, as if he were in the morning.

"... "Good morning." Their gazes met, and Qiao Mu's mind went blank. She opened her mouth, but was barely able to find her voice.

How long had he been awake?

Qiao Mu didn't know.

The only thing she could tell from his sober, calm gaze was that he didn't seem to be angry. The terrible anger from last night had all disappeared.

So she was' safe '?

However, nothing happened.

In this kind of stalemate, Qiao Mu could feel the light in his eyes gradually fading, and even more so, his instinctive desire as a man.

"I …" Qiao Mu panicked, her eyes darting to and fro as she blurted out, "I'm hungry!"

His dark eyes paused.

Her voice seemed to prevent the last bit of his consciousness from being devoured, but he didn't immediately let go. His hand still remained on her body, and his eyes didn't conceal the primitive desire in them at all …

After a long time.

He finally put down the cluster of flames, loosened his hands, and said with a voice that was both patient and husky, "Let's sleep in the guest room tonight."

"Alright." Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly climbed down from his body.

"I mean I'll go." He frowned and corrected him with displeasure. As he spoke, he got out of bed and walked straight into the bathroom. He slammed the door, and soon there was the sound of a shower.

Qiao Mu sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a little muddle-headed.

For one thing, she couldn't believe it: was this night over? Nothing happened?

Secondly, Tang Beiyao took the initiative to go to the guest room to sleep? In "some ways," he had really let her go, hadn't he?

He seemed easier to talk to than before.

However, in the following days, could she only use Tang Mansion?

Qiao Mu pursed her lips as she felt complicated in her heart …

• *

She didn't have much luggage. She had been moved to this room yesterday.

Her cell phone was on the bedside table. Qiao Mu subconsciously picked it up to check the time and found an email on the screen — it was from the company's email, sent by the supervisor last night.

The content of the email was simple and it was also very commercial. The main point that was stated was: Qiao Mu, congratulations on successfully turning the situation around!

Qiao Mu stared at her phone in a daze.

Correction?

This news was truly sour and astringent to her … And at this time? Fate really loves to joke around with people! Was it possible for her to go back to work in H City?

But she was unwilling to give up just like that!

Gritting her teeth in hesitation, she finally grabbed her phone and got out of bed before heading to the bathroom. She didn't even bother to put on her slippers and step on the long blanket with her bare feet. Soft and cool, like her uncertain heart.

She stopped in front of the bathroom door, took a deep breath and raised her hand — —

"Knock!"

It had only been two knocks, but the bathroom door was already opened with a swoosh, its speed catching everyone off guard. Qiao Mu was shocked and subconsciously covered her eyes.

"What's the matter?" His deep voice came from in front of him.

"I... I wanted to talk to you. " She had only wanted to stand outside the door to speak, but who knew … Qiao Mu embarrassedly covered her eyes as her cheeks flushed red.

Tang Beiyao laughed.

Seeing her at a loss, his mood improved. He took the initiative to take a step forward and swiped her small, blindfolded claws away, "Speak."
