Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Waking Up in the Same Bed in the Morning
His body still carried the fresh scent after a shower, and she faintly remembered being so exhausted last night that someone seemed to have helped her wash.
Suddenly, the phone started vibrating again, and Rong Yan snapped back to reality.
Oh no, the alarm she had set was going off again.
If she didn’t get up now, she would be late for today’s advertisement shoot.
Rong Yan couldn’t afford to stay in bed any longer and tried to pull away the arm that was draped over her waist.
“Hmm?” Probably because she disturbed his sweet dream, the person sleeping murmured a displeased groan.
Thinking he was awake, Rong Yan’s movements grew more pronounced. “Li Shengxiao, let go of me, I need to get up.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to wake the light sleeper. Li Shengxiao, abruptly woken from his rare good sleep, felt a slight pain at his temple and his mood soured as well.
However, opening his eyes to the sight of the small woman in his arms, any annoyance from being woken up instantly vanished into thin air.
Especially after recalling what had happened last night and the confession-like words Rong Yan had said to him, his mood improved even more.
He rolled over and pinned the little woman, who was trying to escape his embrace, beneath him, his handsome face still wearing the look of someone just awoken. He took her lips, biting them softly like a feather, then released her and said, “Morning.”
Rong Yan’s lower lip felt as if it had been stung, and caught up in such early morning intimacy, her blood rushed to her head, nearly throwing her breathing into disarray. “Morning.”
She collected herself, remembering the pressing matter at hand, “Li Shengxiao, can you let go of me, I need to get up. I have an advertisement to shoot this morning, and it’s going to be too late if I don’t get up now.”
If at first he was a bit groggy, the man now fully awake had a predatory gleam flash through his eyes. However, upon hearing Rong Yan’s plea, he subdued the desire of the morning. His gaze swept over her slightly swollen lips that had just awoken before he suddenly lowered his head and sealed her lips. Only after an invasive kiss did he let go of the small woman beneath him, took a deep breath, and with restraint, released her before getting up first.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
Mornings were always the hardest time for a man to control himself, especially since she was sleeping right beside him.
A warmth flowed through Li Shengxiao’s abdomen, and a throbbing started at his temple; he quickly got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water filled the space.
Rong Yan had no idea he had dashed off for a cold shower first thing in the morning; she thought his cleanliness obsession had kicked in. It was his habit to take a bath before bed and have one first thing after waking up. She got out of bed too, ignoring the soreness in her waist and legs, changed clothes, went to wash her face, brushed her teeth, and splashed water on her face.
It was only when she looked in the mirror that she saw her pitiful state.
Having slept too late and been too exhausted from last night’s activities, the dark circles under her eyes seemed ready to take flight. Fatigued, her face was as pale as wilted vegetables. With such a complexion paired with the dark circles, it was unbearably heart-wrenching to look at. Rong Yan pinched her face in the mirror, and seeing the reflection mimicking her, she confirmed it was indeed her in the mirror.
“Crap!” Rong Yan howled in dismay and quickly rummaged for foundation and concealer. She fiddled with her face, covering up the dark circles and applying some blush to make her face look somewhat normal. Once assured the person in the mirror was presentable, she reluctantly left the bedroom.
