When Jiang Li returned home, she saw Fu Jiuxiao sitting in a wheelchair, looking out of the door as if he was waiting for his wife patiently.
She could not help but laugh when she saw Fu Jiuxiao like this. “Who made our Ninth Master unhappy?”
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Fu Jiuxiao’s face instantly turned from dark to bright. The speed at which his expression changed made Jiang Li suspect that the Fu Jiuxiao she saw when she first entered the room was just an illusion.
What Jiang Li did not know was that it was because of that word ‘our’ that made Fu Jiuxiao pleased.
As long as the other party was Jiang Li, the things he wanted could not be any simpler.
With that thought, Fu Jiuxiao completely forgot about his previous unhappiness. He unconsciously softened his voice. “If you’re hungry, there’s food in the kitchen.”
“No, I’ll go to the study to work for a while.”
After Jiang Li said that, she waved her hand and turned to go upstairs.
Fu Jiuxiao looked at Jiang Li, and there was a gentleness in his eyes that could not be easily discovered. He did not turn around and leave until Jiang Li closed the door of the study.
Fu Jiuxiao ended the video conference and wanted to go see Jiang Li, but he saw a faint light coming out from the crack in the door of the study. “The Madam hasn’t gone to bed yet?”
The housekeeper quickly nodded in agreement. “Yes, Madam has been busy with work recently. It seems that she only rests in the study for a while when the sun is about to rise.”
Hearing that, Fu Jiuxiao frowned deeply. Jiang Li should not exhaust her body for work.
With that thought in mind, Fu Jiuxiao simply instructed the housekeeper. “Go to the storage room and take out the God-calming incense. Light it up in the study room.”
The Butler was also worried that Jiang Li could not sleep well, so he immediately went to the storage room to get the God-calming incense and lit it up in the study room.
Jiang Li was immersed in her work and did not notice anything. It was not until she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier that she realized something was wrong. “Strange, why am I so sleepy today?”
After Jiang Li said that, she could not help but feel sleepy. She laid on the table and wanted to rest for a while.
Hearing that the noise inside was getting quieter, Fu Jiuxiao quietly pushed the door open and looked at Jiang Li through the gap.
After making sure that Jiang Li was asleep, Fu Jiuxiao pushed the door open and went in. He came in front of Jiang Li and looked at her peaceful sleeping face and the dark circles under her eyes. He felt his heart ache, but his heart became softer.
Jiang Li was a strong woman, and he had always known that. However, when he thought about how she would only take off her armor and show her true self in front of him, he could not help but feel happy.
Fu Jiuxiao did not have the heart to disturb Jiang Li’s rest, but the love in his heart made him kiss Jiang Li’s forehead.
This kiss was so gentle that Jiang Li, who was sleeping, only felt a feather fall on her forehead, but it touched her heart.
The next morning, Jiang Li opened her eyes and found that she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.
She immediately woke up and sat up straight. While trying to recall what happened last night, she looked around.
Just as she remembered that she wanted to rest in the study for a while, she was caught off guard by Fu Jiuxiao’s teasing gaze.
The two of them looked at each other, and Jiang Li could not help but ask, “I was sleeping in the study, so why did I appear in your room?”
Fu Jiuxiao propped himself up and said gently, “When I woke up, you were already on my bed.”
Jiang Li was confused, but she thought that she had been so tired these days, and she might really be sleepwalking, so she did not ask further.
Jiang Li was busy with work, and she wanted to get off the bed and go back to the study. However, she was not used to Fu Jiuxiao’s bed, so when she got off, she used too much strength and threw herself forward.
“Be careful!”Fu Jiuxiao pounced in Jiang Li’s direction, acting as a cushion under Jiang Li’s body. The two of them fell to the ground together.
Jiang Li felt Fu Jiuxiao’s temperature and firm muscles under his body, and his ears were slightly burning. Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes were like vortexes as if they wanted to swallow Jiang Li and wrap her up tightly.
However, the ambiguous atmosphere did not last long. Jiang Li turned her head in embarrassment and saw the anesthetic lying on the ground. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao abruptly and asked, “What’s with the anesthetic?”
Fu Jiuxiao took a look, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. He said casually, “I’m afraid that I’ll be obsessed with you and do things to you that you don’t like. These anesthetics are for your self-defense.”
Nonetheless, Jiang Li did not believe him completely.
In Jiang Li’s eyes, Fu Jiuxiao was a very restrained person, and she respected him enough that she trusted him to not do anything bad.
Fu Jiuxiao saw that Jiang Li was still suspicious, so he changed the topic. “There’s a question that I haven’t asked you. Why did you choose to get engaged with me when there are so many unmarried people in the Fu family?”
