That evening, after Ni Sitian finished showering and returned to her room, she stood by the bed, stunned for a moment.

Yesterday, Xu Tingchuan was in the same bed with her, holding her and rubbing her stomach. Now, in this big bed, she's all alone.

He had only left that afternoon, but she felt as if he had been gone for a long time, and she felt a little lonely.

She sat back on the bed, reached out and took Xu Tingchuan's pillow, hugged it to her chest, rested her chin on the pillow, and stared blankly for a while.

Although Xu Tingchuan rarely spoke when he was at home, the two usually occupied one side of the bed and did their own things.

But as soon as she turned her head, she would see him.

Now, not only does the house feel empty, but my heart also feels empty.

Has she become a little too dependent on him?

Ni Sitian sighed softly, shook her head, and decided not to think about it like a resentful woman in her boudoir anymore. She then reached for the book on the bedside table and opened it.

I opened the book, but my gaze remained fixed on one page, lost in thought.

She put down the book, hugged her pillow, and rolled around on the bed.

Finally, he sat up, head drooping, and sighed again.

She suddenly remembered the comics that Xiang Zhilan had sent her.

Ahem, Xu Tingchuan will probably be back in about a week. Should she brush up on her knowledge beforehand so as not to embarrass herself in front of him?

Thinking of this, Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed slightly.

She found the key, opened the drawer, and pulled out the comic books from a pile of condoms.

She turned to the page she had looked at last time; the protagonist's first attempt had failed.

Then the plot unfolds, focusing on the daily trivialities between the couple, and their constant attempts every night.

However, I haven't been able to get in yet.

Ni Sitian was somewhat surprised. Was the male protagonist in the comic book too useless, or was it just that the first time was difficult for a boy?

Xu Tingchuan wouldn't do that, would he? Besides, he's thirty-one; it's unlikely this is his first time.

Also, he looks very strong, with a powerful back and waist. He doesn't seem to be all bark and no bite, does he?

Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed again when she thought about how she saw him almost ecstatic that day.

She flipped through a few more pages and finally saw that the male and female protagonists had made substantial progress!

However, the female protagonist looked like she was in a lot of pain.

Fortunately, the male protagonist's story ended very quickly.

She breathed a sigh of relief for the female lead, and thinking that she might suffer the same fate a week later, she secretly prayed that Xu Tingchuan's time would be shorter.

Just then, the phone rang.

She was startled, and guiltily closed the book first. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a video call from Xu Tingchuan.

She quickly hid the book, smoothed her hair, and sat up straight before answering it.

She swiped to open the video call and saw Xu Tingchuan's face. Feeling extremely guilty, she forced a dry laugh: "You've arrived?"

"Yeah, I just arrived at the hotel." Xu Tingchuan noticed Ni Sitian's face was so red on the screen and asked, "Why is your face so red?"

"I just did some exercise," Ni Sitian casually offered as an excuse.

Xu Tingchuan noticed that a corner of the pillow behind Ni Sitian was sticking up, wondering what was hidden underneath.

When Ni Sitian noticed that his gaze seemed to be fixed on the pillow, she quickly moved her body to block it and swiftly changed the subject: "Which district do you live in? Can you see the night view of Victoria Harbour?"

Xu Tingchuan smiled, not intending to expose her little trick. He stood up with his phone in hand, walked to the window, and held the phone up so she could see the view behind him.

"So beautiful." Ni Sitian was a little excited and a little envious: "I've never even left Yihai City."

"Do you want to come? I'll have Secretary Xue arrange a flight for you," Xu Tingchuan said without hesitation.

Actually, he had been thinking about it all the way on the plane since he left home that afternoon, perhaps he could have Ni Sitian come along too.
