Chapter 534: 534. There’s no way to pretend to be asleep anymore

After standing in place for a long time, she finally took her eyes off the door of the study and got up to lie down on the bed.

She did not want to recall Lu Moqing’s lonely expression just now, but when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with his disappointed and sad face, as well as the faintly reddened eyes, which made her heart chaotic.

From time to time, Lu Moqing’s voice came from the study, and he seemed to lower his voice for fear of disturbing them.

However, because it was night and connected to the master bedroom, Qiao Xu could still hear his voice while lying down like this.

The meeting was still related to the government project in San Francisco, and it seemed that the trouble was not small, and the other party was determined to fight against Lu Moqing.

Thinking about this, Qiao Xu felt a little worried.

Could it really be settled in two days?

Qiao Xu lay in bed without any sleepiness. When Lu Moqing asked her whether she would miss him earlier, she thought that she probably would.

She found that in just a few days, she had grown accustomed to his presence.

Even if he were flirty as hell in front of her, it seemed much better than him suddenly leaving.

About two hours later, the sound in the study stopped.

Then there was the sound of Lu Moqing coming out of the study.

Qiao Xu didn’t know what she was nervous about, and immediately turned her body and pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.

The door of the study was gently opened, and Lu Moqing came out from inside.

It seemed that he paused at the door for a while, then came toward the bedside.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Qiao Xu felt nervous and closed her eyes even more tightly.

Lu Moqing came to the bedside, and his tall body blocked the moonlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows outside.

Qiao Xu didn’t know what he was going to do. After a while, a sigh came from his mouth, and he bent down to pull the quilt over her gently.

Qiao Xu thought he would leave next, but after waiting for a while, she felt his breath getting closer.

The next second, she felt him lie down beside her from behind and held her tightly in his arms.

Qiao Xu’s body stiffened noticeably, and Lu Moqing felt it too.

He looked down at the woman in his arms who had her eyes closed and eyelashes trembling slightly, knowing that she hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

He pursed his lips, leaned down to her ear, and whispered, "I’m sorry, I hurt you too deeply, making it impossible for you to trust me, it’s all my fault."

Qiao Xu didn’t expect Lu Moqing to say such a thing, and her body stiffened even more.

She knew that Lu Moqing had discovered she wasn’t asleep, and it would be hard to feign sleeping any longer.

So she opened her eyes, moved out of his arms a little, turned to face him, and after thinking for a moment, asked:

"Aren’t you mad at me?"

Lu Moqing thought she would continue to pretend to sleep, but didn’t expect her to open her eyes directly and ask him such a question.

"You really want a daughter, don’t you? I took contraceptive pills. Are you not mad at me?"

Qiao Xu asked again.

This question had been on her mind for several hours.

Since he discovered the contraceptive pills, the expected outburst didn’t happen, nor did the expected scolding.

In short, none of the reactions she expected from Lu Moqing happened. Did he... really not blame her?

At the bottom of Lu Moqing’s eyes, there was a faint smile. He did not answer her question right away. Just when Qiao Xu thought he would not answer, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her slightly open lips.
