Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Die Together

Sure enough, it was the time-consuming factor.

Qiao Rui felt that he was simply too much, intentionally keeping people awake.

By the time she finally managed to escape him, she was already a bit tired.

After turning off the light, Qiao Rui complained irritably, "Dancing with Mr. Pei is far less relaxing than dealing with a dozen hooligans outside."

Pei Liyan laughed, speaking with satisfaction, "That is truly an honor for me, being able to tire out Miss Qiao is quite a skill, isn’t it?"

Qiao Rui was instantly speechless, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "Indeed, it’s your honor to make me feel exhausted, Mr. Pei."

"Seeing that you’re still able to chat, you’re not that tired. How about another dance?" Pei Liyan said.

"No more." Qiao Rui instantly refused. "I don’t want to end up losing this elderly life of mine, I have to save some energy for tomorrow’s mental battles!"

"Alright then." Pei Liyan reached out and embraced Qiao Rui. "Sleep now!"

Qiao Rui found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes to sleep.

But in the middle of the night, Pei Liyan really couldn’t fall asleep, he found it impossible to sleep.

Because his wife was so restless during sleep, rolling around on the bed and even sprawling across him, completely treating him like a mattress.

This made Pei Liyan feel extremely helpless, being pressed by such a soft body indeed made it difficult to sleep.

If he could still sleep, then he must be Liu Xiahui.

Just like now, at this very moment, being treated like a soft bed cushion by Qiao Rui, he helplessly realized a truth.

This girl’s strength hasn’t been fully drained.

Only when her energy is thoroughly exhausted does she sleep honestly, if not,

she still has some energy left, which is why she is so restless during sleep in the middle of the night.

By three in the morning, Pei Liyan still hadn’t fallen asleep because Qiao Rui was still treating him like a meat cushion, curling up on his body, sleeping soundly.

Pei Liyan couldn’t sleep and couldn’t bear to wake her up, so he could only endure it like this.

Finally, at five o’clock, Qiao Rui turned over and slept on her side again.

Pei Liyan regained his freedom and was ready to sleep.

Who would have thought, clearly being extremely sleepy, should have quickly fallen asleep.

But he couldn’t sleep, the more extremely sleepy he was, the harder it was to fall asleep.

Pei Liyan looked again at the culprit beside him, lying on her side, sleeping soundly.

He could no longer hold back, lowered his head and pulled her over, ready to make some mischief.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched Qiao Rui, he was suddenly kicked hard, and only heard Qiao Rui shout loudly, "Who is it?"

Pei Liyan clutched his belly, standing by the bed, not speaking.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he simply couldn’t say anything, it hurt too much.

The light clicked on.

Qiao Rui saw the man under the bed at a glance, stunned for a moment, and said, "Mr. Pei, what are you doing awake at this ungodly hour?"

Pei Liyan then sat on the edge of the bed, not speaking for a long time, but it was clear that at this moment he was particularly gloomy.

Qiao Rui could roughly guess the reason, chuckled awkwardly. "Well, I’m sorry!"

"Why are you so restless when you sleep?" Pei Liyan finally spoke. "You turn over all night, treating me like a meat cushion, moving back and forth on me, making me unable to sleep!"

"Which is why I said to sleep in separate rooms!" Qiao Rui said matter-of-factly.

"No matter what, you have to compensate me!" Pei Liyan frowned and said, "I haven’t slept at all until now."

Seeing this, Qiao Rui immediately got off the bed, "Then I’ll quickly go back to the guest room, so you can have a good sleep."

"Come back!" Pei Liyan shouted in a low voice.

Qiao Rui walked forward without looking back, Pei Liyan got up and stood, walked quickly over, grabbed her, and brought her back.

Qiao Rui exclaimed, "So you didn’t want me to go to the room next door?"

"Just married and you want to sleep in separate rooms, how do you suppose we’ll spend the rest of this long life?" he asked sternly.

"Just keep sleeping in separate rooms, what’s there that we can’t get through, sleeping in our own rooms improves sleep quality." Qiao Rui said as if it was the most natural thing.

"Dream on, if I can’t sleep well, you shouldn’t think about sleeping either, I’ve figured it out, you won’t sleep properly if you’re not tired." He said as he placed Qiao Rui back onto the bed.

Qiao Rui was pinned beneath him, saying, "Who said I wasn’t tired, I almost got exhausted last night, and as for why I can’t sleep steadily? I simply don’t know."

"It’s alright, as long as I know." Pei Liyan wasn’t angry with her anymore, he turned off the lights and continued his business.

In the dark, Qiao Rui thought about how the man had held back all night, turns out it was for this, she couldn’t help but chuckle, breaking the mood.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Liyan whispered in her ear.

Qiao Rui said, "How do I feel like this is an excuse you made for yourself? I shouldn’t be that bad at sleeping."

Pei Liyan was taken aback but decided not to pay attention to Qiao Rui anymore, continuing busying himself with his matters.

Qiao Rui later said, "I really wonder how you’ve managed these years?"

"If you keep talking, neither of us will be sleeping tonight!" Pei Liyan seized the opportunity to threaten.

Qiao Rui laughed. "No worries, I’ve slept enough, not sleeping afterward won’t matter, but for you, it might be more exhausting!"

"Stop talking to ruin the atmosphere!" Pei Liyan said.

"I’m not ruining anything, I just think your way might lead to overwork and exhaustion." Qiao Rui’s voice had a smile in it. "Staying up all night is harmful to the body, indulging even more so!"

"Girl, if there’s a death it’ll be together." Pei Liyan was entirely unyielding, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t change his mind.

Qiao Rui knew there was no escaping, so she simply stopped speaking.

She glanced out the window, the sky behind the curtains was starting to brighten.

It was hard for this man, having stayed up all night, enduring until now.

When the man finally calmed down, Qiao Rui looked at his sleeping face beside her, smiled slightly, got up from bed, and left the master bedroom.

She returned to the guest room, lay down, and looked at the news on her phone.

Fortunately, there wasn’t any significant change.

Then she replied to a few messages, and only then did she lie down to sleep.

As she was sleeping comfortably, suddenly felt someone approaching her, Qiao Rui alertly opened her eyes and in the next second, her leg kicked out.

Having prior experience, Pei Liyan was particularly cautious this time.

He evaded Qiao Rui’s attack and said, "Waking up early to find my wife gone, shouldn’t I come to find you? Is this the treatment I get?"

"Ha! I was just being considerate!" Qiao Rui said with a laugh. "Afraid you wouldn’t sleep well, so I voluntarily came to the guest room."

Pei Liyan reached out to carry her, took her back to the master bedroom, and returned with her slippers, then lay down beside her.

Qiao Rui glanced at the clock, it was eight o’clock.

He seemed energetic, only having slept a few hours, he regained his energy and spirit, truly an extraordinary talent.

Qiao Rui chuckled and said, "Mr. Pei, did you sleep well?"

"Mm!" Pei Liyan nodded, "Not bad, that’s enough sleep."

Qiao Rui leaned closer, wrapped herself around his neck, and said, "Then do me a favor!"

Pei Liyan looked down. "If there’s anything you can just tell me!"

Qiao Rui said with a smile, "I wouldn’t dare order you, just asking for a favor."

Pei Liyan: "Speak."
