100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 443: Sleep Right Here

Back then, Gu Hangshen often picked fights for no reason, and clear-sighted people must have realized something was off about him. Yet, I was as dumb as a pig, noticing nothing and hating him with a vengeance!

Seeing Xiaoqiao suddenly go crazy and pull at her hair, Qin Yao’s expression became one of shock, "Xiaoqiao! Xiaoqiao? What’s the matter?"

"Uh... it’s nothing." Xiaoqiao held her forehead.

"I... I came across this nightgown by chance. It seems like it’s one you left behind. I don’t know if it still fits you." Qin Yao said awkwardly.

Xiaoqiao took the nightgown, "It’s fine, nightgowns are quite loose anyway. Besides, my figure hasn’t changed much compared to seven years ago. If anything, I’ve lost weight!"

Qin Yao’s gaze uncontrollably fell on her prominent features. He had witnessed her growth during puberty...

How could her figure possibly be the same!

However, seeing Xiaoqiao’s lack of reaction to the nightgown just now, Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a sense of loss.

He must be going mad. Why did he foolishly go out of his way to find that nightgown!

"Be careful when washing, there’re slippery spots, and wounds!"

"It’s okay, there’s no bleeding. It can touch water."

Most of her body was covered in bruises from pinching and scratches from fingernails. Her face had been kicked, leaving a visible wound. Otherwise, she could have hidden the injuries and gone home without raising suspicion.

Her visit to Qin Yao’s place wasn’t just for this reason. Currently, Huo Yandong was probably still in the observation phase, and they needed to play their parts convincingly.

Qin Yao helped her into the bathroom and prepared the bathwater, then composed himself and went to the kitchen to cook.

Listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom mixed with the noise of his chopping, his heart filled with an unprecedented warmth and contentment.

Qin Yao set the cooked dishes on the table and suddenly thought of something. He wiped his hands and quickly dashed back to the bedroom.

Scattered on the nightstand were colorful envelopes; small boxes for presents filled the basket, reduced to only their graduation photo, a love heart he had taught her to fold...

Xiaoqiao, drying her hair, stood in the doorframe and saw just such a scene.

Qin Yao, hopping and ducking, was hiding things, and in panic lifted the pillow to take out a photo.

Qin Yao finally let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Xiaoqiao standing there, rigid as a statue, not knowing where to hide her hands.

"Qin Yao... Qin Yao, what are you doing? Are you in there?" Xiaoqiao asked in confusion, her eyes lacking focus.

Qin Yao exhaled deeply; he was too nervous... he had forgotten she couldn’t see.

Right! She couldn’t see! She wouldn’t discover these things... frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Qin Yao opened the drawer and put the photo inside, then walked over, "Dinner’s ready, let’s eat!"

－

"How is it?"

"Mm, not bad."

"Eat more."

After finishing dinner absentmindedly, Qin Yao washed the dishes and then helped her make the bed.

"You should sleep early!"

"Mm."

"Good night."

Seeing Qin Yao turn to leave, Xiaoqiao spoke up, "Where are you going?"

Qin Yao held a pillow and quilt in his hands, "I’m going to sleep in the living room."

Xiaoqiao frowned, "You should sleep here!"

Qin Yao objected, "It’s not proper to make a girl sleep on the couch!"

"I didn’t say I’d sleep on the couch."

"Are you going back?" Qin Yao asked, puzzled.
