Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 176

In her sleep, Lin Li seemed to feel as if there was a natural heater beside her, exuding an alluring temperature. That temperature was so charming that it made people unconsciously want to get close to her, hug her, and want more.
She slowly moved her eyelids and slowly opened them. The light of the morning sun shone in through the glass that didn’t draw the curtains, illuminating the entire room. This kind of brightness was a little glaring for a person who had just woken up in the dark. Lin Li subconsciously closed her eyes again, rubbed her head against the warm current beside her, and hugged it even tighter.
How long had it been since he last slept through the night? It seemed to have been a long time, so long that Lin Li had almost forgotten how comfortable it felt to sleep through the night.
It seemed that ever since Anran told her that Chengxiang had cheated on her, she hadn’t been able to sleep well. She kept having different dreams the entire night, and those dreams tormented her so much that she couldn’t sleep at all.
In the beginning, she would constantly dream of Chengxiang hugging that woman and laughing happily, while she was ignored by the side. To them, she was like air, never to be seen. She didn’t wake up, but she would always cry in her dream, because the next day, her pillow was always wet. She wanted to lie to herself that she could continue, but the truth made it impossible for her to lie to anyone, let alone herself. In the end, Chengxiang left her in front of everyone at their wedding.
After the wedding, she stopped dreaming about them, but every night, a voice would appear in her dreams, asking her why she didn’t want him, saying that he was so pitiful, so cold, and missed his mother so much. For a long time, she would wake up in the middle of the night and cry silently with the B-scan in her hand.
Later on, her father fell sick, which used up all her strength and energy. Although she didn’t have much time to think about Chengxiang and the child, she couldn’t sleep well every night because she was worried about her father’s illness. Even now, her father’s surgery had been successfully discharged from the hospital. There were still a few nights when she dreamed that her father’s surgery hadn’t been successful. She saw her mother standing in front of the hospital bed crying. Then, she woke up from the dream in a cold sweat. There were even a few times when she immediately called her parents, After making sure that they were all right, he finally felt at ease.
But last night, she seemed to have slept very well because she didn’t wake up the entire night. Those scenes didn’t appear in her dreams either. Her eyes were closed, and the corners of Lin Li’s mouth curved up slightly in a beautiful arc because she had slept well.
“Aren’t you going to get up?”
The voice came from the top of her head. Lin Li frowned slightly. The voice was very familiar, but the tone didn’t seem to match the voice, because she could hear a faint smile in the tone.
Zhou han looked at the woman who was hugging his waist tightly in his arms. She was still smiling just now, but now she was frowning slightly. Her expression changed so quickly that he couldn’t help but find it a little funny.
Holding back his laughter, Zhou han tried his best to make his voice sound as cold as before and said, ” “I don’t mind if you don’t get up, but can you please let me go first?”
Lin Li frowned as she slowly opened her eyes. A bronze ‘wall’ entered her line of sight. Her frown deepened as she slowly raised her head. Then, she directly met a pair of Obsidian-like eyes. She was stunned for a few seconds and even blinked a few times, trying hard to recall the scene from last night.
Zhou han looked at her and held back the smile that was about to come to his mouth. He said coldly, ” “Still not letting go?”
Lin Li suddenly sat up and pulled the quilt to her chest. She pointed at him and said, ” you, you, you, you, why are you on my bed! She was so nervous that she couldn’t even speak clearly.
Lin Li pulled all the blankets over, and Zhou han was only wearing a pair of loose sweatpants. His upper body was bare, and his entire body was exposed to the air.
The sudden coldness made Zhou Han’s heart tremble, but he didn’t show it on the surface. He didn’t say anything and just looked at her fixedly. The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but Twitch.
Upon seeing this, Lin Li couldn’t help but widen her eyes, and her face heated up. After she reacted, she quickly turned her back. pervert!
Zhou Han’s lips curved and he said slowly, ” you forgot everything that happened last night? ”
Hearing this, Lin Li suddenly turned her head and tightly clutched the blanket in front of her chest. Her small face was full of anger as she glared at him and sternly asked, ” “What did you do?”
Zhou han raised his eyebrows and asked, ” “What do you think I’ve done?”
“You!” Lin Li glared at him and couldn’t say a word. She clutched the quilt tightly and glared at him for a long time. She only said two words, ” you’re shameless! The tip of her nose began to sting, and her eyes began to turn red. Her eyes began to mist up.
Zhou han finally couldn’t help but laugh softly. After a while, he turned over and got up from the bed. before you want to cry, take off the blanket and take a good look. He walked towards the bathroom as he spoke.
Lin Li was stunned. After he went in, she lowered her head and removed the cup that was protecting her chest. Her clothes and pants were all there, and her shirt was the same as yesterday. She was a little confused and tried hard to recall last night ...
When Zhou han changed his clothes and came out, Lin Li was still sitting on the bed in the same position as before. When she saw him come out, she raised her head to look at him and asked with some uncertainty, ” “Yesterday ... Nothing happened between us yesterday?” 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
Taking the tie that he had hung on the closet yesterday, Zhou han half-smiled and asked, ” “Do you really want to see what happened between us yesterday?”
Lin Li quickly shook her head and waved her hand with a dry smile. no, no. Why would I want something to happen between us? nothing happened between us. Nothing definitely happened. She looked at him as if she was waiting for him to nod in confirmation so that she could be at ease.
Zhou han didn’t say anything. He just laughed and tied it. When everything was done, he looked at the time and was about to leave when Lin Li called out to him.
“Wait, wait a moment!” Lin Li called out to him and then jumped off the bed. She looked at him and wanted to ask something, but she stuttered a little awkwardly. Her hands were intertwined, and she didn’t know how to start.
Zhou han turned his head and looked at her. He asked with a faint smile, ” “What?”
Lin Li was at a loss for a long time before she asked, ” “Um, um, weren’t you wearing clothes yesterday?” She had just thought about it. She remembered that she had planned to sit on the chair for the whole night, but she could not stand the cold at night. She only lay down on the bed after seeing him in deep sleep. She also remembered that he seemed to be wearing clothes before he went to bed, although the clothes were a little small for him.
Oh, that shirt was too small and it made me uncomfortable. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I took it off again. Zhou han said matter-of-factly and didn’t tell her that he had specially put on a t-shirt yesterday because he was worried that she would be present. In fact, he was used to sleeping naked.
The corner of Lin Li’s mouth twitched unnaturally, and she scolded him for being so troublesome in her heart. The fake smile on her face remained, and she took a small step toward him. Her hand moved back and forth between him and herself, and she asked tentatively, ” that, that, did I roll into your arms by myself? ” She clearly remembered that she had tried her best to lie on the edge of the bed last night and not take up more of his bed. It didn’t make sense that she would roll into his arms in the morning!
Zhou han raised his eyebrows. He didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, ” you think I carried you in? ”
“You’re not?” She remembered that her sleeping posture was absolutely not bad! There was no reason for her to roll into his arms!
“Where do you think my hand was when you woke up this morning?” Zhou han looked at her with a smile.
Lin Li stared at him for a while before her eyes widened in disbelief. The corners of her mouth twitched as she laughed dryly. She shook her head and said, ” hehe, it’s, it’s nothing ... she blushed and turned her head away. In her heart, she scolded herself for being too careless. She actually thought he was a heater and hugged him the whole night because she remembered. She remembered that when she woke up in the morning, she was hugging his waist tightly, and his hand didn’t touch a single part of her body! This realization made her want to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She was simply too ashamed to show her face. She even regretted asking the unnecessary question. Anyway, nothing that shouldn’t have happened last night, so why was she still entangled in it?
Zhou han took a step forward and lowered his head to her ear from behind. do you think I’m the one who took advantage of you and hugged you after you fell asleep? ” He asked in a certain tone. His words were not as serious and cold as before, but more relaxed and smiling.
Lin Li didn’t say anything. The smile on her face was almost frozen. He was too close to her, so close that she could clearly feel his warm breath on her ear. She subconsciously shrank her neck.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal and noticed that her entire face was almost burning up, Zhou han pushed her away from behind and distanced himself from her. He said, ” you’re not the type that I’m interested in, because ... he dragged out the last syllable and deliberately paused, waiting for her to turn around.
Everything was just as Zhou han had expected. After he stopped, Lin Li subconsciously turned her head and asked, ” “Because of what?”
Looking at him, the smile on Zhou Han’s face widened. He squinted his eyes and looked a little evil. Then, he slowly said, ” “What’s wrong? You really want me to be interested in you?”
“I’m not!” Lin Li explained loudly and turned her head to avoid looking at him. Once again, she secretly scolded herself for having a cheap mouth.
Zhou Han’s laughing voice came from behind, ” because you’re too skinny. You’re too skinny. I don’t want to hold a bunch of bones because they’re too heavy! After saying that, he didn’t wait for Lin Li to turn around and say anything. He was in a good mood as he turned around and opened the door.
Lin Li was stunned for a while before she reacted. She turned around angrily and said to the door, ” you’re too weak. Who wants you to hug me? you narcissist!
Outside the door, Zhou han didn’t turn back. However, he seemed to be in a good mood this morning.
