Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 217

Chapter 217

In the bedroom, the air conditioner was set to 16°C, with a wind speed of level three. The sound of the wind was whooshing. After more than ten minutes, the two of them curled up in their own blankets.

The main light was off, leaving only the soft bedside night light. It was time to sleep. The two of them were lying on the same bed, with an invisible “divide” between them, neither of them daring to cross it.

They both thought the other had closed their eyes and fallen asleep. But they both turned over at the same time, their eyes meeting, staring at each other.

Shen Muyan’s long curled eyelashes trembled slightly, her clear, bright eyes cold and distant. Lu Qin looked at her stunningly close face, with skin so delicate it seemed ready to break with a slight touch, and his heartstrings were tugging.

Suddenly, Shen Muyan remembered the scene described by her strategist, Fang Ya — something about slowly getting closer, lips meeting, exchanging tongues…

In a flash, the rich woman’s fair cheeks turned red. Her usually cold face became unexpectedly soft and alluring. It was like magic.

Lu Qin was stunned, looking at her.

Is she hot?

The thought of turning the air conditioner temperature higher disappeared. Wrapping herself tighter in the blanket, Lu Qin spoke, “Let’s sleep, it’s getting late.”

“Mm.”

They both turned over again, facing away from each other and closed their eyes. Both adults, at times, the attraction between them was obvious. They both knew full well what would happen, but when it came time to take that step, they both hesitated.

It might be that their minds had become open, but their actions were still reserved. They both kept their distance and fell asleep in a haze. The room’s temperature remained unchanged.

While sleeping, their pores opened, and they both grew colder as they slept.

Instinctively, their bodies moved closer, seeking warmth. It was natural and harmonious…

The next day, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room. Lu Qin woke up slowly. His arm was slightly sore and numb. Looking down, Shen Muyan was curled up, her head resting in the crook of his arm, her silky hair spread across his chest.

Her delicate arms wrapped around his waist, one slender hand skillfully rubbing his abs. She was still asleep, lazily and obediently like a Persian cat. Her smooth, delicate legs had entwined with his, like a perfect fit.

This position…

Young Lu Qin was already unsure how long he had been trying to keep his composure. He reached out with his free hand to grab the air conditioner remote, turning the temperature up and reducing the wind speed to avoid catching a cold.

Now…

What to do?

Lu Qin didn’t dare move, afraid to wake the sleeping beauty. This position was undeniably comfortable and wonderful, but it also tested Lu Qin’s patience. One wrong move, and it would be explosive.

…

“Daddy~! Mommy~! Wake up, the sun is up~!”

The little one, who had gone to bed at 9 PM, was up at 6 AM, full of energy. Jiang Qin was in the kitchen making breakfast, and the little one ran to the third floor to find Lu Qin and Shen Muyan.

The sound was so loud that it startled Lu Qin, and Shen Muyan was also woken up. In the chaos, Lu Qin hurriedly pulled his hand out. Just as he was about to get up, his body lost balance. Because their legs were still tangled together, like two serpents.

In a sudden twist of fate, Lu Qin braced himself, landing directly on Shen Muyan’s now-awake, cold beauty.

A hint of awkwardness appeared in Lu Qin’s eyes.

Was this action and position scripted? Why did it happen at this exact moment?

Shen Muyan felt the weight on her stomach and was a little uncomfortable. Her eyebrows furrowed. She even faintly felt the presence of Young Lu Qin.

Her beautiful face instantly turned red.

“You… what do you think you’re doing?”

Taking advantage while she was asleep? That’s too much.

Did she even feel it in her sleep?

Just then.

Click!

The bedroom door was pushed open.

Clop-clop-clop.

The little one ran a few steps, then stopped.

“Mommy and Daddy, what are you doing?”

What does a child know?

She blinked her clear, big eyes.

Shen Muyan and Lu Qin, now fully awake, hurriedly separated and started adjusting the blankets. But they realized there was only one blanket.

The two of them tugged at it, and Lu Qin let go, picking up the other air conditioning blanket that had fallen to the floor. They both sat at the head of the bed, smiling at the little one.

Lu Xiyao: “???”

“Mommy and Daddy, what are you doing?”

“Wrestling.”

Lu Qin suddenly had an idea and said a word that wouldn’t confuse the little one.

“Yaoyao, your mommy and daddy are still sleeping, don’t disturb them!”

Jiang Qin, having noticed that the little one wasn’t in her room or the bathroom, came upstairs to look for her. This little troublemaker really didn’t know when to stop.

When the door opened, the little one had already woken up the “couple.”

“Grandma, Mommy and Daddy aren’t sleeping, they’re wrestling on the bed!” The little one innocently said.

Oh my god!

Seeing Jiang Qin’s strange expression, both Lu Qin and Shen Muyan were frozen in shock. Jiang Qin’s eyes sparkled with amusement. She patted the little one on the head and looked up at Lu Qin and Shen Muyan,

“You two should restrain yourselves a little.”

“Yaoyao, let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”

“Let your mommy and daddy continue… wrestling.”

Jiang Qin was experienced and could imagine how the two had been burning with desire the previous night, surely exhausting each other. Waking up in the morning still not satisfied, and continuing.

Although the young ones had plenty of energy, she couldn’t help but remind them. Lu Qin and Shen Muyan were already mentally fried. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was so awkward, they could probably carve a mansion with their toes.

Lu Qin and Shen Muyan tacitly chose silence, getting up, dressing, and washing up…

When they went downstairs for breakfast, Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin had finished their private conversation. When they saw Lu Qin and Shen Muyan, they smiled knowingly.

“Up already? Come have breakfast.”

The most terrifying misunderstandings are the ones that are impossible to explain. Jiang Qin even peeled two boiled eggs for Lu Qin and poured him a large glass of milk.

Eggs and milk are rich in protein…

Lu Qin ate them all with a stiff neck, already eager to leave, and hurriedly excused himself, claiming he had to go set up the breakfast stall.

After Lu Qin left, Shen Muyan adjusted her emotions and calmly ate her breakfast.

Jiang Qin, smiling, patted the little one’s head.

“Yaoyao, you’re going to have a little brother or sister soon!”

Pfft!

Shen Muyan nearly spit out her milk.

“Mom, what are you saying in front of the little one?”

Shen Muyan was mortified, wanting to find a hole to crawl into. The little one stared for a moment, then excitedly said, “Really? Mommy~! Am I going to be a big sister~?”
