Chapter 486: What Xiaoshi wants
Xiaoshi hummed in agreement even though it was uncertain whether she had heard his suggestion. She was drifting off to sleep.
He peeked at her and embraced her dotingly. "Go to sleep."
When she was asleep, he pulled away while trying not to wake her up, sliding off the bed.
"Xichen..." Her fingers clutched his shirt clingily as though worried that he was leaving.
"I’ll be right back." He promised and kissed her forehead, then headed out of the room.
When she woke up, she looked around and sat up with a jolt. "Xichen?"
She didn’t get any response, so she rushed out of the room only to see him setting the dining table.
"You scared me. I thought you had left for some emergency again." She clung to his back, making the apron around his waist loosen up.
He turned around to hold her in his arms. "I promised to come back, didn’t I? I was going to wake you up in a moment." He explained to his girlfriend who looked like she was afraid of losing him.
"I know I sound selfish but I wouldn’t want you to put your life in danger. But then again, you’re a doctor and will probably need to do so once in a while." She purred against his chest.
He tousled her hair to coax her. "Do you want me to quit my career? I can do that if you ask me."
