160 Mastery
After Li Miao finished washing up and went to the room to lie down, Yue Jiaojiao, who had just finished bathing and was only wearing her undergarments, followed Zhao Zhan into the study.
“You’ll get cold.” Zhao Zhan nervously took a clean outer robe and wrapped it around Yue Jiaojiao. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and carried her on his lap. “Jiaojiao, do you have something to say to me?”
His chin was resting on Yue Jiaojiao’s shoulder, and when he spoke, she could clearly feel his adam’s apple moving.
For some reason, Yue Jiaojiao’s face turned red.
Recently, Zhao Zhan had been more fond of taking the initiative in his every move.
The simple and honest man in the past was now able to flirt with her.
“Haven’t you been holding back from asking why Xiangjun came to find me?”
Yue Jiaojiao’s tiny body was in his arms. As she spoke, her fingers subconsciously played with Zhao Zhan’s hair. it was Chen Xiaolang who found the shop.
She repeated the information she had learned from Chen Xiaolang in detail, and then sighed softly, “It seems these two people were not my parents. Otherwise, they would not call me a lady. Now we’re back to square one. Either I find the nanny, or I regain my memory.”
Zhao Zhan straightened his body and changed Yue Jiaojiao’s position so that the two of them were facing each other. His voice was particularly alluring in the deep night. “We’re not back to square one. This way, at least we know that this Madam Yan has ill intentions towards you. If you didn’t realize it before, it’s a blessing in disguise now that you know.”
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but look up at him.
The oil lamp was dim, and the wick fizzled out.
“Zhao Zhan.” Yue Jiaojiao was sweet and coy. For the first time, she shifted her gaze away because of the heat in the other party’s eyes.
Zhao Zhan lifted her chin with his fingers and leaned forward uncontrollably.
He considerately protected her back.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.
In the hazy light and shadow, Zhao Zhan closely watched her every subtle expression, and a boiling heat burned in his heart.
“Zhao Zhan!”
Yue Jiaojiao purred like a cat. Her eyes were wet, and the corners of her eyes were still red. Her breathing had yet to calm down.
Zhao Zhan’s throat was dry from the look, and he covered her eyes with his hands.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly and muttered uncontrollably into her ear, “Jiaojiao.” Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously moved her body.
Zhao Zhan breathed and hugged her tightly. His voice was mixed with his breathing and was extremely hoarse. “Be good.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t dare to move and obediently lay in his arms.
After some time, when Zhao Zhan was feeling better, he looked down and found that the Jiaojiao in his arms was already fast asleep.
Li Miao was in the room, so it was not appropriate for him to go in.
Therefore, he let her sleep on him.
It was a good night’s sleep.
When Yue Jiaojiao woke up the next day, she was still in a daze and did not know where she was.
“You’re awake?” Zhao Zhan happened to enter the room with a tray. When he saw that she was awake, he put the breakfast on the table and walked over to pull her into his arms. “Are you hungry? I’ve made you some egg pancakes and porridge.”
Yue Jiaojiao, who had finally regained her senses, lay in his arms and mumbled, “Oh no, how can I go out and see Li Miao now? I’ve been in the study the whole night. What will she think of me?”
Zhao Zhan chuckled. Sensing that the person in his arms might really get angry, he hurriedly tried to fix the situation. “I explained to her that your high fever has just subsided. I was worried that you would be uncomfortable and wake her up in the middle of the night, so I left you in the study to take care of you.”
