After struggling to keep up with Cui Ziqi's erratic thinking, Xia Wan finally realized that he was worried about her wound.
She looked at him with a smile, "But it's written in our agreement that I can't spend more of your money."
Cui Ziqi carefully and gently wrapped the gauze around her fair and delicate hands.
After changing the dressings on both of her hands, he casually tossed the medicine box under the chair and folded up the small table.
"No more than 50,000 per day."
He casually set a daily limit for her.
That way you won't spend extra money.
Xia Wan's lips curved into a wider, more pronounced smile.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Cui Ziqi frowned and looked at her, "Not enough? Then 100,000."
"That's enough, that's enough. I just remembered something else."
Xia Wan leaned closer to Cui Ziqi and asked cautiously, "The apartment has too little furniture and the lights are too bright. Can I decorate it to my liking?"
Cui Ziqi's apartment is large, but it's not very decorated.
The monotonous and cool-colored furniture made the whole room feel cold and desolate.
Last night she fell asleep under the glaring bedroom light, only to be woken up in the middle of the night by that eerily bright light.
When she groggily got up to turn off the lights, she thought that it would be nice to decorate the apartment. Maybe if she made it cozy, Cui Ziqi's heart would soften too.
Cui Ziqi has never been picky about where she lives.
Since she's making the choices, let her do whatever she wants.
He nodded.
Xia Wan suddenly rushed over and hugged him, carefully avoiding his wounds with her hands, and gently rubbed her head against his arm.
"You're the best."
The sweet tone sent a shiver down Cui Ziqi's spine, and the fluffy head rubbing against him made his blood boil.
His face flushed, he raised his hand to push Xia Wan away.
Unexpectedly, the girl let go first, dodged to the side, and pointed at his hand with a smile.
"Don't hit me. The agreement only said I couldn't kiss you, but it didn't say I couldn't hug you."
Cui Ziqi's face flushed red and then darkened.
A halo of light danced across his face, softly illuminating his strikingly handsome features, extending from his brow bone down over his straight nose and casting a half-shadow on his tightly pursed, thin lips.
When did he start hitting her?
"Add another clause to the agreement."
"That won't do. It's already been signed in black and white. You can't go back on your word."
Oh.
Cui Ziqi scoffed, "You have more than a dozen clauses in the agreement, but I only have one. Adding another clause would only make me lose out."
Xia Wan wasn't buying it.
“I asked you last night, and you insisted on having only one condition.”
Feeling wronged, Cui Ziqi crossed her arms unhappily, leaned back against the glass, and sullenly looked out the car window.
Xia Wan smiled and moved closer.
"Actually, I know you were deliberately going easy on me. Look at you, you're richer than me, more capable than me, and very kind. That agreement is nothing to you, but for me, it's my entire life for the past three months. You must have deliberately only mentioned one clause last night to put me at ease, right?"
wrong!
He didn't think that much about it!
Cui Ziqi was about to retort, but Xia Wan didn't give him a chance, and was moved by her own feelings.
"Thank you, Ziqi. Don't worry, I will stay in Haiquan Community for the next three months, spend your money wholeheartedly, and seduce you steadily. I will remember your kindness."
Cui Ziqi mechanically turned his head and met Xia Wan's sincere, shining eyes, and a chill ran down his spine.
He finally understood why he had such a bad feeling the night he signed the agreement!
"You'd better behave yourself for the next three months!"
"Don't worry, I'm the most honest and kind-hearted person!"
Xia Wan smiled and slid over to Cui Ziqi's side, ignoring his resistance, she wrapped her arms around his lean waist and buried her head in his chest.
"you……"
"I'm so tired, so sleepy. I didn't sleep well last night. I really want to sleep."
Xia Wan leaned lazily against him, slightly increasing the pressure so that he couldn't push her away.
Her playful voice trailed off, the last syllable carrying a hint of weariness.
Cui Ziqi had noticed the fatigue in her eyes long ago, and thought of how she had gotten up early that morning to make him a hearty breakfast according to an online tutorial.
In an instant, he couldn't bring himself to push her hand away.
He looked down and saw a furry head resting on his chest, deliberately avoiding his injuries.
He gritted his teeth, his fingertips feeling slightly numb.
Finally, he lowered his hand from mid-air, placing it lightly on her waist, and stopped struggling.
Lying in his arms, Xia Wan smiled triumphantly, like a kitten that had just stolen some cream, and rubbed against his chest in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
"Move again and I'll throw you down!"
The deep, magnetic voice of the man above him descended, carrying a strong sense of threat.
Xia Wan deflated and stopped moving. She closed her eyes and leaned against his broad chest, listening to the rain outside the window and the steady heartbeat in her ear. Finally, she drifted back to sleep.
...
Over the next few days, Xia Wan devoted herself to decorating her and Cui Ziqi's "love nest".
With a daily budget of 50,000, she added soft carpets, brightly colored bookshelves, beautiful oil paintings, small tables and stools on the balcony, fresh flowers and plants, and all sorts of small ornaments to the apartment.
Every day when Cui Ziqi came back, she found that the apartment had changed.
Today, the sofa in the living room has been replaced with a warm yellow, trendy soft sofa, with a light-colored rug underfoot. The coffee table has also been replaced with a light-colored solid wood irregular small table, and a ylang-ylang flower is placed in a vase on the table.
Tomorrow, there will be several more beautiful oil paintings on the living room walls, and the balcony will be redecorated with succulents of various shapes arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner.
Later, his bedroom was also furnished with soft carpets, tables, chairs, and flowers. A layer of gauze curtains was added to the heavy curtains in his room. When the wind blew, it lifted the light gauze and let in the lively breeze from the riverside.
In just one week, the apartment he used to know had completely changed.
A sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table.
Xia Wan was wearing a cotton nightgown, and a wide pink headband tucked her stray hairs behind her head, revealing her fair and lovely face.
She held her face in her hands as she watched Cui Ziqi eat.
Compared to the aristocratic children who had been raised in luxury, his eating manners were not particularly elegant, but he ate with refinement, chewing slowly and carefully, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Under Xia Wan's gaze, Cui Ziqi couldn't help but feel pressured while eating.
He glanced at Xia Wan and said calmly, "Let's eat."
Why are you looking at him?
Seeing Xia Wan's red lips move, he immediately spoke again.
"Don't talk if you're not going to eat."
He was genuinely afraid that she would say something shocking again.
Xia Wan pursed her slightly parted lips again, pouted and hummed softly, then picked up the bowl and ladled out a bowl of chicken soup.
She placed the chicken soup in front of Cui Ziqi and then changed her tone, saying, "Have a bowl of chicken soup. I've been cooking it all day."
Meeting her bright, sparkling eyes, Cui Ziqi ultimately didn't go against her wishes.
How is your injury?
Xia Wan asked.
Cui Ziqi paused in his soup-drinking motion, then pretended nothing had happened and replied casually.
"alright."
"I bought some scar removal medicine these past few days. I heard it's very effective. I'll apply it for you later!"
Cui Ziqi almost choked on the soup.
She really is... always trying to take advantage of him!
