Huo Beichen held onto her shoulders.
“You…”
Ning Meng turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
“What me? You’ve not been sleeping well. If I let you sleep on the sofa, you would not be able to sleep anyway! I’m different, I can fall asleep anywhere!”
Huo Beichen was stunned. He remembered that she had indeed been as fierce in the past. While he was lost in his thoughts, she had already reached the living room and lay down. Huo Beichen blinked and suddenly thought of an idea as he slid into bed, placing both his hands behind his head and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He would wait for her to fall soundly asleep so that he could carry her in… Unfortunately, before he could make his move, Ning Meng went to the toilet half an hour later in a blur, and after she came out, she did not return to the living room but instead went into her bedroom due to muscle memory, pulling the blanket open and cuddling in.
As she had just been out in the cold, her hands and feet were still quite chilled, so when she cuddled into the bed and felt the warmth of his body, she tossed around and hugged his waist. When she had finally found her sweet spot, she fell into a deep sleep once more.
Huo Beichen turned to look at her sleeping face. Her facial features were beautiful. The silhouette of her long eyelashes was cast upon her face and she had a small nose and a slightly long mouth. She slept quite well and Huo Beichen smiled in satisfaction and closed his eyes. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep as well.

The next day.
Ning Meng slept until afternoon. Upon waking up, she groggily opened her eyes and stretched. Her fingers rummaged under the pillow but could not find her phone which she usually placed there, and she sat up in a daze. After she had warmed up, she abruptly came crashing back into reality and realized that she was indeed in her bed, fully clothed.
Hadn’t she been sleeping on the sofa?!
Ning Meng looked to the side and saw that it was empty and Huo Beichen was not there. She breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the bed, walking over to the sofa. When she picked up her phone, she realized that Huo Beichen had sent her a text: [I’ve gone to work, will back at six in the evening.]
“…”
After mulling over it for a while, she replied to the text: [Okay.]
Then, she asked: [How did I end up on my bed?]
Huo Beichen: [Missus, you need to bear some responsibility.]
“??”
How was this person this shameless?
She did not reply to the text immediately and went to the “Are You in Love Today?” group chat. Zhen Shanmei had sent a text half an hour earlier.
Zhen Shanmei: [Qi Shan wore a business suit today, he looked quite handsome!]
Li Shiyao was in the middle of filming and did not have her phone with her, so no one had replied to her for quite a while.
Ning Meng sent a text: [How did the meeting between your parents and their ugly son-in-law go?]
Zhen Shanmei: [The meeting’s over now. You did not even care about me.]
Ning Meng: [? Are your parents satisfied?]
Zhen Shanmei: [Sigh, my parents kept praising me as if I was a goddess over lunch. Qi Shan played along quite well, but while we were waiting for Qi Shan to arrive, my dad sighed with relief and said that this silly boy will soon find out what an unexpected disaster will look like.]
Zhen Shanmei: [Meng Meng, is he really my biological father? Let’s exchange fathers!]
Ning Meng: [Hahahahaha…]
After she was done laughing, she ate some food. At 1 pm, the app on her phone rang with a notification and Ning Meng glanced over at it to see what it was about.
