Chapter 25: Sharing a Bed

The bed was obviously very spacious.

Qu Xiao was very close to Shang Yan. Her posture was casual and relaxed as she half-lay, staring at his slender and good-looking fingers in a daze.

After a long while, she moved closer to Shang Yan’s side and her chin rested on his shoulder intimately for support.

Qu Xiao read two lines of text curiously, and got bored. She poked Shang Yan’s fingers like a child. “Very interesting?”

Shang Yan met her eyes and was a little puzzled.

Qu Xiao pouted her lips to signal for the book. Shang Yan shook his head and replied in a light voice, “It’s necessary for work.”

The Shang Group was involved in many fields. Shang Yan needed to constantly supplement himself with relevant knowledge and could not slack off for even just half a day.

Qu Xiao yawned lazily and turned to lie down in front of Shang Yan. She closed her eyes tiredly and muttered, “I wanna chat with you, but I don’t want to disturb you. Take your time then. Good night!”

Shang Yan looked at her peaceful and cute sleeping face in surprise. Qu Xiao had grown much more sensible.

He gently turned down the bedside lamp, afraid that the light would affect her.

Qu Xiao hugged the pillow and seemed to move slowly unconsciously. Accompanied by two short murmurs, she turned around and hugged Shang Yan’s lean and slender waist. She placed her slender and well-proportioned long legs on his body, her entire person seemed to be in control of Shang Yan as she pressed down on his body.

Shang Yan’s breathing was stagnant. He did not dare to move recklessly for fear of waking Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao’s soft and round breasts pressed down on his arm through the thin fabric. In the quiet bedroom, Shang Yan could feel her breathing and body temperature abnormally clearly. He could even feel her silhouette and smell her faint scent.

Shang Yan held his breath and lowered his head to look at Qu Xiao. The shadow of her eyelashes fell on his face, making his heart melt.

Qu Xiao’s arm was inadvertently moved away. The deep v design of the neckline of her pink nightgown made her soft breasts leap out in Shang Yan’s field of vision.

He had an uncontrollable physiological reaction. Qu Xiao’s leg occasionally rubbed around his private area. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Shang Yan’s forehead. His Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and he wanted to push Qu Xiao away to get a moment to catch his breath.

However, Qu Xiao just hugged the arm that he had stretched out. Shang Yan’s heart could not help but beat rapidly.

The sound of the clock on the wall was exceptionally clear. In the dim light, the corners of Qu Xiao’s lips curled into an evil smile…

She pretended to be asleep to try to arouse Shang Yan. However, he did not make a move on her like she wanted.

Qu Xiao was a little disappointed and slowly fell asleep.

The book was placed by Shang Yan’s bedside, and he was no longer in the mood to read it.

Qu Xiao slept extremely well. She even made a slight snoring sound.

Her red lips opened slightly. The tip of her tongue occasionally licked the corner of her lips, turning Shang Yan on.

That night, Shang Yan was awake and sleepless. He looked at Qu Xiao with a complicated gaze until dawn.

…

The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the glass window. A few rays of sunlight shone on the end of the bed.

Qu Xiao rubbed her fluffy hair with sleepy eyes. She stretched her body and sat up lazily.

She looked to her side. Where was Shang Yan?

There was warm honey water placed on the bedside. She picked it up and gulped down two mouthfuls before shuffling her slippers downstairs.

Surprisingly, she did not see Shang Yan in the dining room. Qu Xiao pulled out a chair and sat down, asking the Butler.

The Butler explained to Shang Yan, “The Ling family sent the contract to the company. CEO Shang had to go down personally to sign it.”

“CEO Shang had originally wanted to wait for you to wake up, but it was too late…”

Qu Xiao raised her head and glanced at the time on the wall clock. It was ten in the morning. She bit on a crisp piece of toast and said with a smile, “I can’t help it. Shang Yan’s bed is too comfortable.”

The Butler’s old face was slightly red. He did not want to pry into his boss’s affairs.

Qu Xiao was bored as she fiddled with her phone. She suddenly remembered that when she lay beside Shang Yan last night, his legs were very cold. It was as if he could not feel anything in his legs. The scene of Shang Yan sitting in the wheelchair made her heart ache a little. She wished she could help him.

She drank a few mouthfuls of coffee to moisten her throat, turned her head and asked the Butler, “Shang Yan’s legs… does the doctor think there is a way for them to recover?”

The Butler looked conflicted. In the past, Qu Xiao would not have cared about these things. Should he answer her?

Qu Xiao tilted her head and waited. The Butler thought about how much Shang Yan loved her and thought that she could be the one who could help him recover.

“The doctor said that the nerves in Shang Yan’s leg have no reaction to external stimuli. It’s almost impossible for him to stand up.”

Qu Xiao frowned. She patted the crumbs on her palm and said with a serious expression, “Is there a pathology report? Or a medical record book, a treatment diary, or something like that?”
