4683 Never Too Late to Love (90)
Unknowingly, she had overslept by this much?
Bai Sheng was extremely vexed. She saw that there were many messages in her WeChat and she opened them. Immediately after, she saw a dialog box that the team leader had sent through.
“Bai Sheng, did you do this on purpose?! Getting an outsider to apply for leave on your behalf instead of doing it yourself! The leave your husband has applied for you does not count. Today, it will be treated as absence without leave! Please come to work on time tomorrow. Otherwise, it will simply be treated as absence without leave again.”
The corner of Bai Sheng’s lips twitched violently as she clicked on the recent call log. An incoming call had indeed benn logged, but it was obvious that she was not the one who took the call.
It was him… Bai Sheng looked at Gu Chengze bitterly. He was sleeping quietly and had not woken up yet.
How could he be sleeping so much?
With the intention of teasing him, Bai Sheng lightly poked his face with her finger.
The latter frowned and raised his hand to grab her finger. He opened his eyes and looked at her, as if through a think veil of mist.
Bai Sheng did not expect him to wake up so easily. She turned around awkwardly and pulled the blanket around herself.
The scene of them being intimate yesterday appeared before her eyes again.
She…
She and this man… Had carried out that act of intimacy between husband and wife…
She tapped her forehead in frustration as her face heated up.
Gu Chengze sat up on the bed and hugged her gently from behind. He rested his chin gently on her shoulder and held her tightly.
“You’re awake?”
“Uh huh…” Bai Sheng responded. He liked her soft voice very much and leaned into her.
The scorching heat of his chest made her blush again. Bai Sheng lowered her head further.
She gripped the blanket tightly. Before she could say anything, her stomach growled.
Growl…
Gu Chengze looked up, his mind clearing up a little.
“Hungry?”
“Uh huh.”
“What would you like to eat?”
“Whatever.”
“Mmm, there are some eggs and bread at home.”
After a pause, Gu Chengze asked, “I’ll cook you a poached egg, okay?”
Although she was a little shy facing him, she still mustered up the courage to ask, “Do you know how to make soft boiled eggs?”
“Those with soft yolks?”
“Uh huh.”
“Yes, I do know how to make them.”
Gu Chengze kissed her earlobe. “I’ll make some for you.”
With that, he got off the bed.
Bai Sheng immediately covered her eyes in embarrassment and did not even dare to look at the naked man.
As Gu Chengze put on his sleeping robe, he looked at her shy expression. He couldn’t help but chuckle, but it was because he doted on her.
“Okay, I’m dressed.”
Bai Sheng lowered her hands, but she did not know where to place them. She only lowered her head and said, “Uh huh.” The blush on her face had already spread to the base of her neck.
Gu Chengze entered the kitchen. Even though there was a distance between them and the kitchen, when she heard the sound of the exhaust fan being turned on, she could imagine him in his bathrobe, cooking elegantly in the kitchen. It was rather heartwarming.
Still … What exactly did he say to the team leader to make the latter so angry?
She was already in menopause. He should have known what if he were to say anything to anger her, she’d be severely criticized upon returning to work.
“It’s ready.” Half an hour later, Gu Chengze personally brought in the soft boiled egg.
How could he not understand her embarrassment? Her legs must be extremely sore. He set up the table on the bed and placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of her.
“Don’t get out of bed and walk around. Just eat in bed.”
