The next morning, Chi Xiaoyu woke up very early.
Upon opening her eyes, she found that, unlike before, Gong Beiming hadn't left early while she was still asleep.
Even in his slumber, his other hand still rested on her waist as they remained in an embrace, intimate and affectionate.
In the faint morning light, his delicate features were flawless, and his long eyelashes concealed his closed eyes.
At this relaxed moment, he bore none of the cold severity and authority of the Big Boss during office hours; he resembled the handsome, sunny boy next door.
She couldn't help but extend a finger, gently tracing his cherry blossom-like lips…
He suddenly opened his eyes, his piercing gaze making his face instantly serious.
"Chi Xiaoyu, what did you sneakily do to me?"
Chi Xiaoyu was caught red-handed, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Helping you wipe off your drool, you were drooling everywhere just now!"
Finally, she found a reason to retort.
