Chapter 32 The Difference Between Sleeping One Night and Sleeping Many Nights
"Mrs. Wu, remember to buy a pair of women's slippers, as well as bath towels, toothbrushes and other toiletries later. Just buy the same brand as me." He instructed Mrs. Wu carefully.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, shall we put Miss Xia's luggage in the guest room on the second floor?" Mrs. Wu took the suitcase handed over by Old Wu.
"Put it on the third floor. She lives in my room."
When Xiao Shiqiu said this, Mrs. Wu obviously paused, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then there was a hint of resentment in her eyes when she glanced at me. I felt a chill on my back. If she didn't look to be in her forties, I would have suspected that Mrs. Wu was secretly in love with Xiao Shiqiu.
Old Wu is the driver responsible for picking us up and dropping us off, and both he and his wife work for him.
"Usually, it's just me and their family living in this house, so the population is pretty simple."
"Are they a family?" I asked curiously. It seemed like there were more than just the couple.
"Yes, they have a son and a daughter. The son works in my company and doesn't live here on weekdays. The daughter is in school and comes back to live here on weekends and holidays." He introduced them to me as he led me inside.
"Are you alone?" I couldn't hide the joy in my heart.
"I usually live alone. My parents live in their old house in the northern suburbs. I go back during major holidays."
He made no mention of his daughter, let alone his wife.
I think my guess is correct. He must be divorced and his daughter lives with his ex-wife.
After being troubled for most of the day, I finally let go of my worries. I felt indescribably happy.
He knew what I was thinking, and to reassure me, he took me home. How could a man with a family dare to bring a woman home to spend the night?
I don’t want to think about whether I will have a future with him. At least for now, I can date him with peace of mind without worrying about him becoming a mistress.
He took me to the easternmost room on the third floor and said, "This is my room, and now it's your room too." After a pause, he added, "I'll ask Mrs. Wu to prepare a separate set of toiletries and pajamas for you. You don't have to bring anything next time you come." I felt that he was unilaterally informing me that I was living with him.
"Are you planning to live with me?" I said with a complicated expression.
"Of course not. This place is a bit far from your school, so it's not convenient for you to go to school. Otherwise, it's not impossible."
Haha, that’s quite thoughtful.
"Uncle, we've only known each other for a week, and you already think we're close enough to live together?" I was speechless. How fast was the progress bar? There's still a long way to go between dating and living together.
"You don't like it here?" He looked at me seriously.
"That's not what I meant."
"Are you tired of me? You don't want to sleep with me tonight?" He looked a little hurt.
My face flushed, "What are you talking about? When did I ever say I'm tired of you... of you?"
"So you'll sleep here tonight?" he continued to ask.
"I didn't say I didn't want to sleep." I muttered.
"Then tell me, what is the difference between sleeping for one night and sleeping for N nights?" He actually questioned me with confidence.
I was choked and didn't know how to answer.
"Since you're not tired of sleeping with me yet, you can come and sleep with me often."
What kind of vicious words are these? Coming from his mouth, it sounded like he was just asking me to come to his house for dinner often.
"Okay, don't think too much, let's go downstairs to eat."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom first."
In addition to the fact that I really need to free up some memory, I have some other ideas.
He seemed completely unaware of my thoughts and just replied good-naturedly, "Okay, no rush, I'll wait for you."
