Chapter 946: Chapter 564: Difficult Pregnancy Lessons—Did Xixi Really Take Action? (Part 3)

There wasn’t much skin exposed, but from this angle, her graceful curves were clearly visible.

Summer clothes are mostly thin, and when she leaned over, that bit of flimsy fabric in the middle seemed to offer no resistance, always making one feel a kind of eager closeness of skin.

She had just gotten out of the car, still cool all over, but Qi Zeyan was different. He had already been waiting outside for nearly two hours, with the hot weather making him feel sticky and warm all over.

In this season, still wearing a mask, it suddenly felt hot and difficult to breathe.

After all, Qi Zeyan was just a normal man. Even if he didn’t have much interest in a woman, suddenly being so close like this, it was hard to avoid some normal physiological reactions.

He slightly averted his eyes, clenching his jaw.

Was he being a bit of a beast, actually staring at his own assistant?

Should he perhaps start dating someone?

Ruan Mengxi also didn’t expect to have closer contact with him in this way. Her body was a bit stiff, not daring to move recklessly.

Until everyone gradually reached their floors, and they arrived home, the air conditioning blowing in their faces, Qi Zeyan finally felt much more comfortable.

"I’ll go make dinner. I’ll call you when it’s ready." Ruan Mengxi naturally took on the task of cooking.

She was in a good mood, already washing the rice and steaming it, and preparing to stir-fry vegetables.

Qi Zeyan originally thought to help her a bit, but he was still bothered by what happened earlier. With a muffled grunt, he went back to his room, closing the door behind him.

But upon returning to the bedroom, he found a more troubling issue...

The air conditioner in his room seemed to be broken, completely not cooling.

During the dog days of summer, relying on the air conditioner to survive, if this thing is broken, doesn’t it just want his life?

What kind of bad luck was this?

Ruan Mengxi saw him walk out of the room and gave him a glance.

"My room’s air conditioner is broken."

"What?" In this weather, if the air conditioner breaks, it’s fatal. Ruan Mengxi didn’t think much, put down what she was doing, and went into his room. Indeed, it wasn’t running.

It was a wall-mounted air conditioner, and she stepped on a stool to check it carefully.

"Call someone to fix it." Qi Zeyan frowned. What was she planning to do? Surely she wasn’t going to try fixing it herself?

"Wasn’t it fine last night? How did it suddenly break?" Ruan Mengxi cut the power and directly opened the air conditioner’s outer cover. Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow slightly. To be honest, he didn’t even know how to open the cover, but Ruan Mengxi had already raised her hand and started inspecting it.

Qi Zeyan stood next to her, also looking up to check the air conditioner.

"Just bought a year ago, how could it break..." Ruan Mengxi was still muttering when suddenly a burnt smell came from the kitchen. Ruan Mengxi’s pupils shrank, "I forgot, my food..."

She seemed to have entirely forgotten that she was still standing on a stool. With a slight turn, her body wobbled and she directly fell off the stool.

Qi Zeyan was standing right next to her and instinctively reached out to catch her, but the immense impact hit them, and the two of them fell to the floor together.

The world spun around...

Ruan Mengxi’s breathing was rapid and uneven:

Tang Xiaowan, I think I really knocked him over.

Tang Wan was currently at home working on some Cyan Feathers, still talking to Jiang Jinsang about the two of them.

"I really didn’t expect he’d lock the door while sleeping. There are just two people at home, who is he guarding against?" Tang Wan propped her chin, looking at Jiang Jinsang, "Fifth Brother, do you think he knows Xixi’s thoughts?"

"Probably not." Jiang Jinsang was sorting and tidying the parenting books on the bookshelf, "According to his character, if he liked her, it would have been well-known by now."

Tang Wan pursed her lips, "Why did you suddenly think of tidying up the bookshelf?"

Jiang Jinsang always paid attention to cleanliness, never letting dust accumulate on the bookshelf, and usually didn’t need much organizing.

"I’m tidying up some books to send to Old Huo. I think he really needs them."
