Chapter 160 - 159 Complicated Bai Zhiqing (2nd Update!)
Time trickled by, and Lu Tianxing’s breathing was even and orderly in the room. Bai Zhiqing also felt her eyelids fighting each other as a strong wave of sleepiness surged up, but she dared not fall asleep easily. Who knew whether Lu Tianxing was really asleep or just pretending? If she were to fall deeply asleep, wouldn’t she be falling right into Lu Tianxing’s trap? Even her grandfather supported him, so if anything happened, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
Bai Zhiqing vigorously rubbed her temples, feeling utterly drained. Today, because of the company client data leakage, she had been busy to the point of dizziness and was mentally exhausted. She wished she could just close her eyes and sleep right then.
However, Bai Zhiqing dared not sleep. She was afraid that once she did, Lu Tianxing would reveal his ferocious fangs.
Another hour passed.
The intense drowsiness attacked her like waves, and finally, Bai Zhiqing gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and stealthily got out of bed. She tiptoed to Lu Tianxing’s side, waved a hand above his eyelids, and finding that Lu Tianxing did not notice, she gently pushed him and called out twice. Seeing no reaction from him, she finally let out a long sigh of relief and tiptoed back to the bed to carefully lie down.
The whole process was quiet and cautious. Even the slightest noise terrified Bai Zhiqing so much that she dared not move until she was back in bed. It was then that she silently cursed herself for being too suspicious.
Unknown to Bai Zhiqing, as she returned to the bed, the ever-asleep Lu Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eagle-sharp eyes. In fact, he had noticed Bai Zhiqing approaching him earlier but had chosen not to open his eyes, understanding very well that if he did, he probably wouldn’t get any sleep that night.
It’s best not to provoke a woman in a fury.
Lying back down, Bai Zhiqing realized for the first time that sleeping, a skill humans are born with, was incredibly difficult to surrender to, as if it had lost its magic, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. She turned over, looking at Lu Tianxing who was close at hand, and her mind was flooded with thoughts.
