Chapter 500: 500. It’s going to take his life

Unable to help himself, he gently ran his hand through her soft long hair and said hoarsely, "I’ll die if you say any more."

Drunk Qiao Xu couldn’t fully understand his words. Lu Moqing put down the spatula, coaxed her like a child, and led her out of the kitchen.

"You go and wait for me in the living room, I’ll bring the food out for you when it’s ready, okay?"

This time, Qiao Xu was obedient. After Lu Moqing led her out of the kitchen, she sat quietly on the sofa without going back to the kitchen to join in the fray.

Lu Moqing returned to the kitchen and dared not linger too long, as there was a "time bomb" sitting in the living room, and he couldn’t trust her to be alone for an extended period.

After ten minutes, the noodles were cooked.

Lu Moqing served the noodles and noticed the eerie silence in the living room. His heart sank, and he quickly ran out of the kitchen towards the living room.

He saw Qiao Xu sitting on the floor, holding a cushion and leaning against the sofa, sound asleep with her head buried in the cushion.

Seeing this, Lu Moqing’s heart finally settled, and he sighed helplessly. He walked over, carefully picked her up, and let her lie on the sofa.

In just a short while, she fell into a deep sleep, perhaps because she had exhausted all her energy.

He sat down on the floor beside her and looked at her sleeping face quietly, his gaze overflowing with tenderness.

When she was drunk, she wasn’t too noisy but still restless, always doing unpredictable and ridiculous things.

Recalling Qiao Xu’s performance in front of him tonight, the drunk Qiao Xu was like a clueless child, starkly contrasting with the cold, distant, and sophisticated Qiao Xu when sober.

She would act cute and be charming in front of him and hope for his praise like a child.

A single compliment from him would make her eyes shine with happiness.

During their three years of marriage, Qiao Xu must have been like this.

If he paid attention to her, she would be happy for a long time, with his words lingering in her mind. But what about when he ignored her?

She wouldn’t express her discontent as freely as when drunk; instead, she would silently hide her sadness.

Thinking about the neglect and pain he had brought her during those three years, Lu Moqing’s heart ached terribly.

He leaned down and gently kissed her face, noticing her unconscious frown, which then relaxed again.

He didn’t wake her up, but went to the kitchen and put the noodles into an incubator.

It was just past seven o’clock in the evening, and he guessed that his wife would wake up after a short sleep.

And when she woke up?

Lu Moqing laughed bitterly at himself. Once awake, she would return to being that cold, indifferent Qiao Xu.

She would no longer be the Qiao Xu who had questioned him about going out to find Little Demons or the one who expectantly waited for his compliments after drinking a cup of honey water. She would not call him ’husband’ anymore, praising him for being amazing: Qiao Little Fairy.

As Lu Moqing thought about it, his mood became somewhat low.

Looking at Qiao Xu, who was lying motionless on the sofa, sleeping soundly, Lu Moqing couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her little mouth again. He then fetched a small blanket from upstairs to cover her and quietly kept her company.
