Chapter 22 You're Not Sleeping, What Are You Planning t

at happened to him before. As long as he goes in and confronts Lu Qifeng, we will arrange for a doctor to treat his injuries. Is that alright!" There was undisguised sarcasm in his words.At this momen...Grabbing the phone from her bedside table, Qiao Bao'er glanced at the flickering screen, her expression tinged with surprise.

She pressed the answer button, changing to a lighthearted tone, "Auntie." Her voice was filled with amusement as she addressed the person on the other end of the phone.

"Bao'er, you seem to be in a good mood today."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Ruyi heard her lighthearted tone and teased with a smile, "Did Si Chen go home early to have dinner with you"

Qiao Bao'er's expression immediately fell, her face clouded with worry, as if she didn't know how to tell him about what had recently happened to her.

On the phone, Gu Ruyue felt a surge of excitement and quickly added, "Bao'er, I went to a nearby temple today and got you a fortune slip. The fortune teller said you'll marry well and won't have to suffer anymore..."

“Although it might sound superstitious, I feel a little more at ease now. When I took you away from the Qiao family, you went through a lot of hardships. You even said you would use your mother’s inheritance to help Yi Sicheng. Honestly, I was against it back then, but seeing you doing well now, as long as you are happy, I believe my sister would be happy for you up in heaven…”

I am not happy.

Qiao Bao'er's eyes immediately turned red when Gu Ruoyan mentioned her deceased mother.

"Bao'er, is something wrong" Gu Ruyue on the phone saw her silence and asked with concern.

"No, it's fine," she forced a smile and made up a lie, "I just have a bit of a cold recently."

Her aunt has heart problems and can't be stressed, so she's not planning to tell her about the divorce and pregnancy for now.

"Immediately changed the subject, "Auntie, did they give you new medicine at the nursing home Can't you come back for the New Year today..."

"I recently heard that there's a medicine abroad that might be suitable for my illness. I don't know how expensive the treatment will be this time, but Baoer, don't worry about me. It's just my old ailment, and I don't want to burden you."

"If there's anyone holding me back, it's just you, my dearest relative. Auntie, please don't leave me alone." Qiao Ba'er recalled past events and became a little excited.

Gu Ruoyan fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "Bao'er, you really don't intend to go back to Qiao's family..."

"I've cut off contact with them for years, no one would know about my past self, and I don't care."

Gu Ruoyan, hearing her firm tone, expressed a mix of admiration and resignation in her expression.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about the Qiao family anymore."

"Saying that, she gave a mysterious smile. "By the way, Bao'er, I met someone familiar among the doctors who arranged the treatment. Guess who it was..."

A click.

Qiao Baoer didn't hear Gu Ruyue's words behind her, but she warily raised her head and looked towards the door.

Jun Zhimu walked in, and cast her a suspicious glance.

"Bao'er, what's wrong" Gu Ruyue asked loudly on the phone. She always felt that she was a little strange today.

"Auntie, my phone's about to die. There are a few things I'll tell you when you get back. Goodbye, and get some rest." Qiao Baoer looked at the man in front of her, her face full of nervousness, she spoke quickly and then hung up the phone.

She hung up the phone and immediately sat up straight, looking at the man in front of her.

Junzhi Mu saw her nervous look, his face wasn't looking good. He didn't speak, he took off his coat and went straight into the bathroom.

Qiao Baoer watched as he closed the bathroom door and let out a sudden sigh of relief.

But after a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

He's showering!

This means he is going to sleep here tonight!!!

Joe Bao'er's whole body tensed up, what, what should she do

She was a little scared and immediately lay down in bed, pulling the covers over herself tightly.

But then I thought, just lying here in bed, and with me being disabled now, what if this Jun guy's animalistic desires get the better of him I'd be in serious danger...

He scrambled back up, leaning against the headboard and looking towards the bathroom, his heart pounding with apprehension.

About ten minutes later, Junzhi Mu came out of the bathroom.

He wore a light blue robe, revealing his toned chest with a few drops of water. As soon as he came out, his eyes immediately went to the bed.

"Waiting for me" He raised a handsome brow, speaking rarely.

Qiao Baoer felt a blush creep up her cheeks under his intense gaze. She must have been misunderstood!

I waited for him, but you didn't. Now it seems like I was just waiting for him to grace me with his presence...

Jun's gaze held an unreadable meaning as he strode towards the bed. Qiao Bao'er shifted her position nervously and quickly spoke, "That, uh, you, are you sleeping here tonight…"

"Husband and wife sleep in separate rooms, you want to drive me out to sleep!" Jun Zhimu stood by the bed, coldly retorted.

She knew she had a real marriage certificate with him, but...

Qiao Baoer blushed and lowered her head. How could she possibly ask her uncle to leave and go sleep elsewhere

As Jun watched, a flash of something peculiar crossed his eyes when he saw her flushed cheeks. He said, "Go to sleep for a while."

Qiao Bao'er instinctively shrank to one side of the bed, her heart pounding with anxiety.

And the shepherd lay beside her, stretching out his hand to dim the bedside lamp. He turned his head, only to see that this dead woman avoided him like a pestilence, constantly shifting towards the edge of the bed.

He warned coldly, "Jo Baby, if you dare fall out of bed and hurt our child..."

The gaze in Jun's eyes was complex as he looked at her, but his right arm naturally held her waist...

Jojo Baoer can't sleep!

Jun's shepherd slept beside her, their skin touching softly. Where they touched, she felt a tremor of fear, an urge to move away from him slightly.

But he held her tight, unable to move.

" Qiao Bao'er, are you not sleeping What are you planning to do"

His lord seemed to be rather weary, rushing through company matters and returning early. He hadn't slept in three days, his voice hoarse as he murmured beside her ear.

qiao Bao'er's face flushed.

She secretly glanced at this man from the corner of her eye. They were so close together.

Jun Zhimu closed his eyes, and under the orange lamplight, he didn't look as cold and domineering as during the day. Instead, he had a more handsome and delicate air about him. This man was truly beautiful.

Soon, his breathing became long and even, he fell asleep

Jun's head was buried in her neck, his warm breath tickling her heartbeat with each passing moment. His short black hair rubbed against her neck, causing an itchy sensation. She felt very uncomfortable and wanted to push him away, but she was afraid of waking him.

Qiao Bao'er was very worried that he had ulterior motives, keeping her eyes wide open and on guard, afraid to sleep.

But she stayed up until about 1 a.m., her eyelids drooping so heavy she couldn't even remember when she had last slept.

In the spacious bedroom, a round moon cast its cold moonlight through the floor-to-ceiling window. The window was not completely shut, and the curtains swayed gently...

It is early February now, and the Spring Festival will be here in a few days. The heater is on inside, but a slight night breeze still blows in from the window, carrying a hint of chill.

The woman in bed frowned slightly, her body instinctively shrinking back. As if by instinct, she moved closer to the warm body beside her.

Jun Zhi Mu felt her approaching him proactively and suddenly opened his eyes.also headstrong, always preferring soft words over hard ones.Seeing her like this, Gu Ruqing was greatly surprised and immediately flared up in anger. " Qiao Wenyu, you've taught my daughter to be lik...
