He tried again and was certain that the door had been locked from the inside.

  Who else was in the room besides Shen Fanxing?

  Her face darkened and she pursed her lips tightly, looking a little scary.

  She looked down at her watch. It was already ten o’clock.

  At this time, that little woman must be asleep.

  He stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He couldn’t figure out how he had offended her to the extent that he couldn’t even enter the room.

  In the end, he turned around and left with a straight face.

  Bo Jinchuan returned to the study and sat on the sofa for a long time. He was deep in thought about what had gone wrong before tonight.

  –


  She wanted to wait for Bo Jinchuan to knock on the door, but she fell asleep.

  With something on her mind, she woke up in the middle of the night.

  Her heart felt empty. Subconsciously, she knew that Bo Jinchuan lived under the same roof as her. Yet, she wasn’t by his side when she slept. She felt an indescribable sense of loss.

  Sighing softly, she turned over to continue sleeping, only to fall into a warm and familiar embrace.

  Her heart skipped a beat as she stared at the man beside her.

  Bo Jinchuan had already washed up and was lying beside her. When she fell into his embrace, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

  Shen Fanxing blinked and took a long time to react. “I… remember locking the door…”


  Bo Jinchuan opened his eyes slowly and stared at her. His hoarse voice sounded above her head.

  “Have you slept enough?”


  That voice sounded…


  It was obvious that she was saying, “If you’re done sleeping, let’s have a good chat.”


  Shen Fanxing’s eyes darted around before she closed them. “I’m so sleepy. I’m about to fall asleep. Huhu…”


  After saying that, she made two obvious calls, making Bo Jinchuan not know whether to laugh or cry.

  But now was not the time to settle scores with her.

  Feeling a little helpless, he planted a kiss on the top of her head and pulled her into his embrace before continuing his mission of sleeping well at night.

  –


  When Shen Fanxing woke up the next day, she accidentally turned around. When she smelled a familiar scent, she paused.

  “You’re awake?” A low and hoarse voice sounded from above.

  Her eyelashes fluttered, and the next second, she closed her eyes again.

  Not getting a response, Bo Jinchuan stared at the top of her head for a long time. His lips twitched and he reached out to pull her back.

  The hand on her waist patted her gently as though it was coaxing a child to sleep.

  For a moment, Shen Fanxing felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

  Not long after, she felt the hand on her waist gradually stop. He placed his hand on her waist and held it gently. Not long after, she felt his large palm grip.

  Bo Jinchuan was pinching her waist.

  She froze instantly and her body tensed up. Her breathing also became lighter.

  When Bo Jinchuan’s slender fingers tugged at her clothes, she couldn’t help but shiver. She wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.

  If the man knew that she was awake at this time, she would definitely not be able to escape the debt of locking him outside the door last night.

  Firstly, why didn’t this man take advantage of her before settling scores with her?

  For example, he could press her down and kiss her…


  This possibility was absolutely feasible.

  But that was based on the premise that she had woken up, right?

  Why was she still unable to breathe despite not waking up?

  Shen Fanxing had been holding her breath carefully since the start. Now that she was kissed, her breath was taken away.

  Bo Jinchuan gave a low chuckle.

  “Ignore me when you’re awake, okay?”


  Shen Fanxing widened her eyes as she stared at the man’s handsome face. Her face flushed red.

  ‘I… was going to continue sleeping.’


  Bo Jinchuan stared at her with his pitch-black eyes. His gaze swept across her red and moist lips. Her collar was tilted and her exquisite collarbones were exposed.

  Suddenly, her throat felt dry and burning. Her eyes darkened.

  “Since you’re awake, let’s settle the score first before sleeping.”


  Shen Fanxing pursed her lips. See? She knew it.

  “What’s there to settle?”


  Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why did you lock me out last night?”


  “No. If I locked you out, why are you here now?”


  Seeing her playing dumb, Bo Jinchuan smirked and said, “I opened the door with the spare key. Did you not expect that?”


  Shen Fanxing gritted her teeth secretly, but her face was full of smiles. “Of course I did. You prepared this house back then. I know you have a spare key, so it’s obvious that I didn’t lock you out on purpose last night. Perhaps I was careless…”


  Seeing how open she was, Bo Jinchuan couldn’t help but laugh. “So you really didn’t argue with me yesterday?”


  “Why should I argue with you?”


  Bo Jinchuan smiled and reached out to grab her hand. He pressed his forehead against hers.

  Shen Fanxing took a deep breath and asked nervously, “What… are you doing?”


  Bo Jinchuan pecked her cheek lightly, his deep voice rough.

  “Fanxing…”


  The word made Shen Fanxing feel numb all over.

  She gulped and her eyelashes fluttered as she looked at the man.

  “… Yes?”


  Bo Jinchuan’s kiss was warm and moist.

  “I don’t feel well.”


  Shen Fanxing’s hair stood on end.

  “I’m not feeling well… What should I do?”
