Chapter 188: Whose Little Baby Is This
After eating, Fu Mingxue went to take a shower.
Qin Wenhao washed the remaining dishes.
It was only a few dishes, so of course he wasn’t going to leave them for his mother-in-law to wash the next day.
When Fu Mingxue came out of her shower, Qin Wenhao had already cleaned everything up. He then went to take a cold shower himself.
When he entered the room, Fu Mingxue could feel the chill wafting off him.
She turned her head to look at him. "You’re still taking cold showers?"
"I always take cold showers." He ran hot and had no need for warm water.
Besides, he was used to taking cold showers, even in the dead of winter.
His gaze then fell upon her desk. ’Is she planning to study again?’
"You’re not sleeping?"
"I—"
Just as Fu Mingxue was about to nod, the man was already standing before her.
His dark eyes were like a deep, still pool.
"What are you—?"
"Can we... turn in early tonight?" Qin Wenhao’s voice was a little rough, his eyes boring into Fu Mingxue.
Deep within his dark eyes, an unusual light glinted like a dancing flame.
His desire was so blatantly, nakedly on display.
There wasn’t a hint of subtlety.
His blatant stare made Fu Mingxue’s face instantly flush with heat.
She couldn’t believe he’d just come out and say it so brazenly.
’What was she supposed to say to that?’
Just then, Qin Wenhao placed his hand on the back of hers. The scorching heat made her brow twitch.
Before she could react, he pulled her to her feet and into his searing embrace.
Just moments ago, he had been radiating a cold chill when he came in.
But now, his whole body was shockingly hot, as if he were running a high fever.
She tilted her head back. "You—"
She had barely uttered a single word before her vision was filled with his face, growing larger as he leaned down.
Then, her lips were devoured—
...
「The next day.」
Fu Mingxue woke up sore all over, as if she’d been run over by a truck several times.
Fu Mingxue cursed inwardly. ’What in the world does that man eat?’
’How can he have so much stamina?’
Just then, the door was pushed open.
In walked Qin Wenhao, in an exceptionally good mood.
When he saw her glaring at him, he knew exactly what that look meant.
He felt a little guilty, but what could he do?
’Some things are just beyond my control.’
His expression, however, remained calm. "Honey, are you getting up?"
Fu Mingxue didn’t answer, instead grabbing her watch to check the time. It was already six-thirty.
’Time wasted last night, time wasted this morning...’ She was now certain of it: men didn’t just make you tired, they really slowed down your money-making.
’And they get in the way of my studies!’
’I didn’t finish my two-hour daily study session last night.’
’That’s a hundred yuan right down the drain.’
She decided she absolutely had to get her two free hours of reading time in tonight.
’Knowledge is what’s most important.’
’Men... can go take a hike.’
She quickly got out of bed and dressed.
Qin Wenhao saw she was ignoring him, but he didn’t mind.
After all, he had been a bit of a beast—it was only natural for her to be angry with him.
He walked over to the bed and quietly folded the quilt.
When Fu Mingxue went outside, she found the two little ones were already up.
"Well now, you two are up even earlier than I am!"
She wanted to go over and play with the two children.
But considering she hadn’t brushed her teeth or washed her face yet, she stopped herself and quickly went to wash up.
When she came back looking fresh and clean, she finally went to pinch the little ones’ cheeks.
"Oh my! Whose little baby has such soft cheeks?"
"Oh, it’s my little baby! Come on, come on, say ’Mama’—"
