Chapter 374: Sleep together
Ruby was prepared for Xiehan to coldly say no and walk away, so his words took her by surprise. It took a while for her to recover from her shock and when she did, she started racking her brains for the right words to use to break this kind of news.
Unlike all the other times, he waited patiently for whatever she had to say. On one hand, he had a feeling that it really was something important, or else she wouldn’t keep bugging him despite what had happened before. On the other hand, he knew that if she didn’t speak up today, she would still look for him later.
"What do you want to say?" He probed when a few minutes passed in silence.
She took in a deep breath, then looked around briefly to ensure that no one was around. Although they were probably the only people awake at this moment, she was still not fully assured. The walls had ears. "If it’s not troublesome, could we talk later? It’s something... no one else should know."
Afraid that he might misunderstand her, she quickly clarified, "It’s about Ji Feifei, and if you’re afraid that Lanni might misunderstand our meeting, you can tell her. But only her."
Xiehan had an interesting expression. Why did she look so panicked? He suddenly had the urge to say something to reassure her, but he didn’t in the end. He simply nodded. "Let’s talk about it tomorrow."
"Mmh." She retreated to her room happily. She was bound to have a sleepless night from anticipation.

That night, Ruby was not the only one having a sleepless night.
A while ago, Cheng Yu was shown to her room by Lin Jian, the jerk.
Knowing that the man before her was an idiot, her first reaction was to glare him down sternly. "You better not do anything fishy."
