Chapter 96 I'm going to sleep, be good and quiet

en kicked the bathroom stall door with her right foot. "Zhu Xiaowei, hurry up, or I'll come in and help you take off your pants!"Zhu XiaoWei was drunk and not thinking clearly, but Qiao BaoEr's voice...Gordon Hotel.

The luxuriously appointed private room, with a table laden with delectable food, saw Qiao Bao'er eating with great restraint. She put down her knife and fork, nervously picked up a glass of milk with her right hand, took a small sip, and stole glances at the man across from her.

He didn't eat anything.

Joe Bao'er hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but speak, "Jun Zhi Mu, you…" what are you going to do

She was with people at the &am;am; Group just now, and he inexplicably dragged her here. He got the manager to set a table full of dishes, but this person sat there with a sullen face the whole time and didn't eat anything.

Junzhi Mu stood behind a chair, leaning against it with a slightly furrowed brow, his expression hinting at fatigue. He glanced lazily at the abundant feast laid out on the table, as if he had little appetite for it.

Hearing her voice, he raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite him. He was acting strange today, his burning gaze unwavering as it fixed on her.

His lips twitched slightly, as if hesitating over some words.

Ding dong...

Suddenly, a crisp phone ring sounded from the side table in the room. Qiao Bao'er was startled and immediately stood up to walk over.

It must have been Zhu Xiaowei who called her.

"Hey, my phone!"

Jun's movements were faster than hers. He strode forward, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and cut the power directly, shutting it down to a black screen. He tossed it onto the sofa with his hand.

Qiao Bao'er stood aside, a little annoyed, "What are you doing! That's my friend..."

Before he could finish his complaint, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist...

Qiao Baoer was dumbfounded.

He just held her like that...

Qiao Bao'er was pushed to sit on the sofa. She lowered her head, her eyes wide open in disbelief as she looked at him.

Jun's head pillowed on her lap, his face buried in her soft abdomen, his hands wrapped around her waist. He lay on his side on the spacious sofa, then... fell asleep.

"Hello..." she blushed, calling out shyly.

He showed no reaction, his breaths shallow and drawn out, as if he were utterly exhausted and longed for a good rest.

"Shepherd of the king."

She whispered his name again.

He either didn't want to pay attention or was truly exhausted, because this man actually just used her as a pillow.

Jo Bao'er's expression was embarrassed. She glanced around the star-rated luxurious room, then looked down at the man lying on her lap, her face becoming even redder...

What is this person trying to do, saying nothing!

Her gaze fell on his profile, and Qiao Baoer felt strangely lost. She wasn't a lovestruck girl, but this man was undeniably stunning, captivating her attention with just a glance.

He's of mixed Eurasian descent with sharp facial features, deep-set eyes, and porcelain skin. His figure is also… undeniably alluring enough to drive women wild with desire, let alone his Jun Shao's noble lineage and ruthless reputation.

Such a man is actually mine...

Qiao Bao'er's gaze was a little dazed, she wouldn't forget, men like him were very dangerous.

"Joe must be very afraid of him..."

"The shepherd usually keeps her confined at home, how could he possibly bear to take her to the basement…"

Outside the room, there were faint sounds coming from the hallway. Qiao Baoer couldn't quite make them out, but she thought they sounded familiar. Just as she looked up, the door was opened abruptly.

Suddenly, their eyes met. Lu Qinan stood rooted to the spot outside the room, his eyes wide with disbelief, staring at the sofa as if he had seen a ghost.

Qiao Baoer's face flushed with embarrassment. She glanced down at Jun Zhi牧 on her leg and opened her mouth to say something to Lu Qinian, but before she could speak...

Ka—

The door to the room was slammed shut by Lu Qinan at lightning speed!

"Is anyone in here" said Pei Haoran.

Lu Qinan betrayed his conscience and blurted out a word, "No."

In the private room, Qiao Bao'er was so angry she could explode. That Lu guy, he must have done it on purpose!!

I really want to just shake Junzhi Mu awake, but…

My legs are numb!

Jo Bao'er was struggling and distressed inside the room, while Lu Qinian outside had a slight smirk on his lips, smiling rather wickedly. Thankfully, he hadn't disturbed Jun Zhi Mu.

I accidentally offended him last April Fool's Day. If I offend him again this time, it will be a sin.

Pei Haoran glanced at the door and chuckled softly. He didn't need to guess to know that Qiao Ba'er was definitely inside.

"Zhi Mu hasn't been feeling well these days, please don't disturb him." Pei Haoran said lightly, then turned and walked back.

Lu Qinnan strode beside him, muttering, "If Zhimu got sick, it was that demoness Qiao Baor's fault."

Pei Haoran had dinner with him in the lobby downstairs. "Lu Qinnan, you just need to talk about Qiao Baor'er. You have a share of the credit too. Last time, you almost got us killed by sending that fool's day text message to Zhi Mu. He thought it was real and rushed to find Qiao Baor'er. According to his assistant, he got drenched in the rain that night, and his migraine flared up again..."

Lu Qinian was holding a piece of beef, suddenly feeling deeply guilty.

Just now, he bumped into Junzhi Mu actually holding that demon woman lying on the sofa. If it were before, he would have thought he was dreaming.

Chewing thoughtfully on the small piece of beef, he no longer wore his usual smirk. He frowned and muttered, “Shi Mu seems to be really nervous about her…”

"That mysterious man in the abandoned factory," Pei Haoran picked up a glass of water and took a sip, his eyes holding a hint of seriousness. "Zhi Mu's people have been investigating for so long, but they still haven't found any information about him. It's really not simple..."

If Qiao Bao'er really dated a man like that, an unknown quantity, Jun Zhi Mu would naturally care.

But, to their surprise, he was truly… nervous around her.

Their brows furrowed, both fell silent.

He has a fever.

Qiao Baoer was inside the private room, she struggled with how to wake up the man sleeping on her legs. Her back gently pressed against Jun Zhi Mu's cheek, feeling the heat.

Junzhi's usually very healthy. He hasn't been sick besides that time he caught a cold from swimming in the river and had a fever. He seems very busy and tired lately...

"Master Jun, is your head hurting" She looked at him with furrowed brows and a face that held back some pain.

Her hand was slightly cold against his forehead. Perhaps sensing the touch, he opened his eyes. His gaze wasn't as cold and sharp as usual, seeming rather dull as he looked at her face.

Qiao Baoer felt uncomfortable being stared at. Just as she was thinking of saying something, the man on her leg sat up.

Jun Zhi Mu's body was indeed feverish, but he didn't sit up straight. Instead, he lay on his side, his arms around her neck. His body was heavy, his large head resting against her shoulder. He hung entirely on her like that.

Joe Baby was stunned and at a loss.

What are you doing!!!

If she were a child, she would think the other person was being cute, but this is Junzhim 牧!

He seemed to find her body soft and comfortable to hold. He let out a soft sigh, as if tired and breathing faintly. He held her tightly, " Qiao Bao'er," he called her name softly.

His voice was husky, " Qiao Bao'er..."

Her whole mind was buzzing, she couldn't react, only hearing that low voice softly calling her name, over and over.

A muffled voice, low and deep, as if it only wanted to call out this name, just that.

He closed his eyes again after about five minutes, as if he had fallen asleep once more.

Jo Bao'er stiffened her gaze, her face flushed now.

His body was feverish, she could feel it clearly, including his breath, the powerful rise and fall of his chest.

Qiao Bao'er was really worried that he would burn his brain out. She held back for a long time and gently shook him, whispering in his ear, "Jun Zhi Mu, we...we're going home."

Home, you and my home.he time, so she really foolishly followed him.I didn't realize I had been tricked until I got to the city.Pei Haoran said to her sarcastically, "Last time, I handled things improperly. Xiaoyi really l...
