Chapter 959: 959. Avoiding me like a plague god

Qiao Xu knew that Lu Moqing was deliberately keeping his distance from her due to the incident in the morning.

She did not pressure him or blame him, knowing that she needed to give him time to think things through.

But after giving him a day’s time, and after dinner, when it was past midnight, Lu Moqing still hadn’t returned, Qiao Xu was somewhat annoyed.

She didn’t wait any longer, and after washing up, she went to bed.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that she was awakened by the sound of a quilt rustling.

Blinking her eyes in confusion, she saw the night light on in the room. She glanced at the wall clock, and it was already past 1 AM.

"You’re back?"

Lu Moqing didn’t expect Qiao Xu to wake up at this moment. Startled as if he were caught in the act, he hesitated for a moment before nodding guiltily.

"Mhm, I’m back. Did I wake you up?"

"No, I’ve slept enough."

Qiao Xu sat up on the bed and looked at the fatigue on his face, her eyebrows imperceptibly knitting.

"Have you had dinner?"

"Mhm, I ate at the company."

"Did you finish all your work?"

Lu Moqing hesitated for a moment before casually responding.

Seeing that his answer was somewhat distracted, Qiao Xu didn’t press for more information. She yawned and continued:

"Then hurry up and wash up. Come to bed."

"Oh... okay."

Lu Moqing got up and headed for the bathroom. When he reached the bathroom door, he looked back at Qiao Xu.

Seeing that she was turning over to lie down again, he pursed his lips and stepped into the bathroom.

He stayed in there for over an hour, only coming out after confirming that Qiao Xu should be asleep by now.

He grabbed a set of clean home clothes and opened the door to the master bedroom, planning to head to the room across the hall.

Just as he opened the door, before he could step out, he heard Qiao Xu’s voice from behind, "You still planning to sleep separately from me now?"

Lu Moqing’s body suddenly stiffened. As he turned around, he saw Qiao Xu leaning against the head of the bed, her gaze coolly fixed on him.

"Xuxu, you’re not asleep yet?"

"You stayed in the bathroom for over an hour, waiting for me to fall asleep so you could leave and sleep in a separate room?"

She raised her eyebrows, her expression indifferent, showing no anger or rage.

But it was precisely this calm demeanor that made Lu Moqing’s heart feel even more restless.

He moistened the corner of his mouth, weighing his words carefully before speaking:

"I remembered I still have some work to do, and I didn’t want to disturb you in the room."

He used work as an excuse once more to deal with Qiao Xu.

At this moment, Qiao Xu didn’t stay silent like during the daytime. Instead, she threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and strode towards him.

The palpable rise and fall of her chest as she breathed proved that she was obviously angry right now.

"Lu Moqing, it’s been a day. Enough is enough."

Upon hearing this, Lu Moqing looked at Qiao Xu with some surprise. He originally thought she hadn’t noticed, but it turned out that she had seen his deliberate avoidance all along.

"Xuxu, I..."

"I know what you’re worried about, but I believe you won’t do anything to hurt me and our child."

Qiao Xu interrupted him, her eyes fixed on him earnestly as she continued:

"Lu Moqing, treating me like a plague and avoiding me like this is the greatest harm to me."

"No, wife, I don’t want to avoid you, but I’m afraid... afraid that something similar to what happened this morning might happen again. If I can’t control myself..."
