From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 16 - : Unruly Sleeping Positions

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Unruly Sleeping Positions

“What am I supposed to do? You set traps for me everywhere, and now you ask me what I’m going to do?”

Qiao Yi’s grip tightened gradually, Qiao Xin’s face turned purple under her hands, and she looked like she was about to suffocate when Qiao Yi suddenly let go, and Qiao Xin collapsed to the floor.

“Qiao Xin, this is the last time I warn you, stop bothering me.”

Qiao Yi dropped those words, taking the meal that Lu Yanchuan brought and left the room.

Qiao Xin sat on the floor coughing violently and trembling all over.

The words Qiao Yi had just said echoed in her ears again and again, like little hammers striking her heart one after another.

...

“Xinxin? What’s wrong with you? Why are you so pale?”

Qiao Xin didn’t come back for quite a while after she said she was going upstairs to see Qiao Yi. Lu Ming followed to check on her, and not seeing Qiao Yi, he found Qiao Xin sitting on the floor with a horrific expression.

“I’m fine. I might have had low blood sugar just now. I’ll be okay after sitting for a bit.”

Qiao Xin avoided Lu Ming’s hand which he extended to help her up and got up by herself to sit on the bed.

A shadow passed quickly through Lu Ming’s eyes but was soon replaced with concern as he sat beside Qiao Xin, asking if she needed to see a doctor.

Qiao Xin still hadn’t recovered from the fright Qiao Yi gave her, and Lu Ming’s pestering made her want to erupt with anger, but she forcefully suppressed it.

“I’m fine. Didn’t grandpa say he wanted to move some flowers in the yard? Go and help him.”

Seeing that Qiao Xin really didn’t want to talk, Lu Ming didn’t linger and left the room after agreeing.

Suddenly, Lu Ming’s phone rang. He checked it and his face changed immediately; he hurried back to his own room.

Qiao Yi took the meal to the kitchen, ate a few bites, then asked the maid to clean up.

She knew she had to sleep in Lu Yanchuan’s room tonight; even if he didn’t say it, it was clear in her heart. She always tried to deceive herself.

The thought of sharing a bed with Lu Yanchuan that night made Qiao Yi feel all the hairs on her body stand on end.

Qiao Yi scratched her head irritably, paced around the living room a few times, and then walked toward Lu Yanchuan’s room with a face as if she was bravely going off to war.

Lu Yanchuan, hearing the noise at the door, slightly curved his lips and then continued to lower his gaze to the documents.

Qiao Yi hovered outside Lu Yanchuan’s door for a good ten minutes, unable to take that final step.

“Qiao Yi! Qiao Yi! You’re the best!”

After psyching herself up, Qiao Yi gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.

Lu Yanchuan’s room had always been decorated in a cool style, with only three colors: black, white, and gray, just like him.

The person outside finally walked in, Lu Yanchuan lifted his eyes to give her a glance without making a sound, waiting until Qiao Yi moved haltingly to the side of the bed, then suddenly put down the documents in his hand and looked at Qiao Yi.

“Who’s showering first, you or me?”

Qiao Yi was like a startled rabbit, nowhere near as cold as she had been with Qiao Xin.

“You-you-you go first!”

It’s just showering, why say it in such a suggestive tone? It’s really scary!

After Lu Yanchuan entered the bathroom, Qiao Yi finally took a deep breath and quickly walked over to sit by the bed.

Why is it that every time she sees Lu Yanchuan, her own presence seems to shrink by three points? Were she and Lu Yanchuan naturally at odds?

As Qiao Yi pondered, Lu Yanchuan didn’t take long before coming out of the bathroom.

“Your clothes! Where are they?”

Seeing a handsome man fresh out of the shower late at night was truly an overwhelming experience.

Qiao Yi instantly covered her eyes, while Lu Yanchuan gave her a baffled glare.

If you’re going to cover your eyes, then cover them properly. What’s with the big gap between the fingers?

Qiao Yi, feeling slighted, dropped her hand and openly admired Lu Yanchuan’s nearly perfect figure.

In a room with a man and a woman, the one who is undressed always has to concede first.

Perhaps it was Qiao Yi’s gaze that was too fiery, Lu Yanchuan took off the towel from around his waist and draped it over his body, blocking Qiao Yi’s view.

“Go take a shower, and then sleep.”

Why did he cover up so quickly, she hadn’t even had her fill of looking!

Qiao Yi rubbed her face and walked into the bathroom, and it wasn’t until the shower water drenched her that she realized she hadn’t brought anything with her!

“I…”

Standing under the shower, water pouring over her head again and again, she just opened her mouth to ask Lu Yanchuan to help her fetch something, but then she immediately negated the idea herself.

This was… awkward…

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door, and Qiao Yi, startled, turned off the water and embraced herself tightly.

“Third Madam, the Third Young Master asked me to bring you toiletries. I’ve placed them outside the door.”

Thank goodness, it’s the auntie from home…

By the time Qiao Yi finally walked out of the bathroom, Lu Yanchuan had already turned off the lights and gone to bed, leaving only a small night light on for Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi tiptoed to turn off the light and climbed into bed.

She thought she would definitely be sleepless all night tonight.

This thought had only circled in Qiao Yi’s mind for a moment before she fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lu Yanchuan was awakened by a kick.

His thigh was bearing a delicate little foot, and its owner was almost sprawled across the entire bed.

Qiao Yi’s blanket was thrown under the bed by herself, and her own blanket was now wrapped around Qiao Yi.

How had he not noticed that Qiao Yi’s sleeping posture was so… free-spirited?

Lu Yanchuan pressed his temples with a headache, moved away Qiao Yi’s foot, and pulled at his own blanket.

Somehow, Qiao Yi had wrapped the blanket so tightly around her that Lu Yanchuan tugged several times and it didn’t budge.

Lu Yanchuan resigned himself to picking up Qiao Yi’s blanket, and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Yi had already rolled over to his spot.

Due to Qiao Yi’s ungraceful sleeping position, her pajama pants were rolled up on her thigh, and a small part of the hem of her shirt had flipped up, revealing a little bit of her white belly.

It looked more like the pets that female employees often posted in the company group chat.

When Qiao Yi woke up the next day, it was already past ten in the morning, she had an extremely restful sleep, something she hadn’t done in over half a month.

There was only her sleeping on the big bed, with two blankets pressed underneath her; by that time, Lu Yanchuan had long since gone to the company.

“Yiyi, are you up yet?”

The voice of Old Mr. Lu rang out from outside the door, and Qiao Yi hurriedly scrambled off the bed, barefoot to open the door for Old Mr. Lu.

“Dad, were you looking for me?”

“It’s nothing, I just came up to ask if you were hungry.”

Old Mr. Lu seemed quite pleased with Qiao Yi’s disheveled appearance, and Qiao Yi’s face heated up, not knowing how to explain to Old Mr. Lu.

“Sis certainly did get a good sleep, Grandpa was thinking about sis and specifically told the kitchen to keep your meal warm!”

Qiao Xin appeared from behind Old Mr. Lu, with a sarcastic remark.

Qiao Yi didn’t want to deal with her, but she couldn’t refuse Old Mr. Lu’s kindness.

“Dad, didn’t you say Uncle Sun was coming to play chess at home today? You should go and get ready; I’ll be right down!”
