As night falls, the city remains bustling and lively.
An Jingxuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a half-undone bathrobe, gently shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. The hazy moonlight shone on his face like a veil, covering his cold edges.
Jiang Xinyue's actions hurt Qu Lingyuan, making him disappointed and angry.
What happened to Tang Xu in the past, coupled with what happened to Jiang Song this time, made him worried and anxious about Qu Lingyuan, and he even rejected these men from appearing around her.
But based on these... he still couldn't judge whether his feelings for Qu Lingyuan were family affection or something beyond family affection.
Tucking his half-dry hair behind his ears, An Jingxuan closed the curtains, went back to the bed and lay down, crossing his long legs and swinging them intermittently.
I was still thinking about what my parents said during the day.
"Don't rush to answer, we just want you to think about it."
"We don't know what Ling Yuan is thinking either. We'll have to wait and see what she thinks."
Shaking his head, An Jingxuan bit the wine glass and took the last sip, then put the glass aside, took off his pajamas, covered his head and crawled into the quilt.
It was quiet for a short while, and then there was a rustling sound, and the soft mattress sank a little.
An Jingxuan frowned, suddenly threw back the quilt and sat up from the bed: "Who!?"
In the dim light, Qu Lingyuan was kneeling pitifully beside the bed, holding a pillow. Her innocent and harmless look made the highly nervous An Jingxuan relax.
"You...why are you here?"
An Jingxuan's cold brows gradually warmed up, and the hair tucked behind his ears revealed his sharp brow peaks. His face was handsome, and his handsomeness was unreal.

Qu Lingyuan forced her eyes away from her abdominal muscles, lowered her head, and whispered, "I can't sleep. I'm scared."
An Jingxuan didn't react and tried to cover himself up. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going to sleep here?"
Qu Lingyuan bit her lip, her pupils watery: "Is it not possible?"
Who can stand this!
An Jingxuan's mind flashed back to what his parents had said during the day. He made up his mind, opened the quilt and made room for Qu Lingyuan, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep."
Qu Lingyuan didn't hesitate, threw away the pillow in her arms and got into bed.
The quilt was filled with An Jingxuan's unique scent, a clean wooden base that seemed mixed with musk, making people unable to stop.
Watching her crawl into the quilt like a kitten, An Jingxuan shook his head helplessly and lay down stiffly.
As soon as he lay down, Qu Lingyuan snuggled into his arms like a clingy pet, buried her head and took a deep breath.
She was wearing very little, and the thin pajamas could not hide her warm body at all.
"You..." An Jingxuan didn't have time to speak.
"This morning, when Jiang Song approached me, he smelled terrible," Qu Lingyuan spoke slowly, hugging his waist tightly. "He said you weren't here, and I was really, really scared."
Listening to Qu Lingyuan's words, An Jingxuan's stiff muscles slowly relaxed, and his hands, which had nowhere to put, slowly hugged her back and gently patted her on the back.
"It's okay, it's all over," he said.
"But, once it becomes quiet and I'm alone, I..." Qu Lingyuan's voice trembled slightly.
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"I won't leave you alone." At night, An Jingxuan's calm and steady voice sounded unusually gentle.
His behavior made Qu Lingyuan, the one who intended to seduce him, feel a little embarrassed.
Nodding, she nestled obediently in An Jingxuan's arms and stopped making trouble.
Once the warmth faded, the nagging desire began to make it difficult to control oneself. After all, An Jingxuan was a normal man born in the Year of the Wolf. This little white rabbit had already entered the wolf's den...
He just can't do anything!
An Jingxuan did not sleep well that night.
Early in the morning, Qu Lingyuan walked out of An Jingxuan's bedroom, feeling refreshed and stretching. As soon as she went out, she bumped into Chang Yue.
Chang Yue looked at her daughter's sleepy eyes, which looked like she had just woken up, with her eyes slightly bulging.
"You...why are you in your brother's room?"
Qu Lingyuan hadn't expected to run into her mother head-on. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and she scratched her head sheepishly: "I had a nightmare last night. I'm afraid of sleeping alone."
Chang Yue looked at her flushed face and nodded thoughtfully.
After breakfast, Qu Lingyuan and An Jingxuan went out to work together. Chang Yue then pulled Qu Zhian over to talk to him mysteriously.
"It seems like Yuanyuan slept with Jingxuan last night."
Qu Zhian pondered: "Could it be that Jingxuan listened to what we said?"
Chang Yue moved her lips, not quite agreeing: "According to what you said, it should be Jingxuan who took the initiative, so he should have gone to Yuanyuan's room, but Yuanyuan said this morning that she took the initiative to find Jingxuan."
It's so hard to guess what children are thinking.
After much deliberation, the couple decided to take the initiative and get to know their child better. Of course, face-to-face conversation was the simplest and clearest way.
Qu Zhian waved his hand: "Why rush? Wait until they come back tonight and then ask Ling Yuan. Don't waste time, there's a shareholders' meeting today."
Chang Yue raised an eyebrow and turned to walk into the kitchen.
"Sister Wang, we are going out now. I'll leave the house to you to clean up."
"Yes, ma'am."
