It fell from his fingertips

The soft bed sank in, and outside the window, thunder rumbled and rain poured down.

Large raindrops pelted the ground, splashing up a spray of water.

Tang Luoqing was so exhausted that she fell asleep in Zhou Jinbai's arms.

Zhou Jinbai hugged the girl in his arms even tighter, raised his hand, tucked the sweat-dampened bangs behind her ear, lowered his head, and kissed the corner of her sleeping eyes, the tip of her nose, and then her lips.

He pried open her teeth, his soft tongue sweeping over every part of her lips, then licking her soft tongue and entwining with it.

Their breaths mingled, and Tang Luoqing slowly woke up. She glanced at the man buried in her, too exhausted to say a word. She only blinked her wet eyelashes with difficulty and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "That's enough, I'm really... so tired."

"But I'm the one who's been moving all the time, so why is the baby tired?"

Zhou Jinbai's hoarse voice was filled with deep grievance.

Tang Luoqing: "..."

She also couldn't understand why Zhou Jinbai, who was the one who was always exercising, still looked so energetic, while she felt completely drained and weak all over.

Something must have gone wrong.

But she was too tired to think any further, so she buried her face in the man's chest and fell into a deep sleep again.

As for the person who refuses to fall asleep, she can't control that.

Zhou Jinbai looked helplessly at Tang Luoqing, who had fallen asleep again. He lifted the covers and glanced at her, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He then kissed her on the lips, lifted the covers, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.

About half an hour later, Zhou Jinbai came out again.

He was cold and lay by the bed for a long time until he warmed up before approaching the sleeping woman and gently pulling her into his arms.

Tang Luoqing slept straight until one o'clock in the afternoon.

When she woke up, the soreness all over her body did not subside at all, which made her wonder if Zhou Jinbai had not let her go even after she fell asleep.

Then, the seat next to me was empty.

Tang Luoqing curiously got out of bed, sat on the edge of the bed for a long time to catch her breath, and then walked step by step to the bedroom door.

As I opened the door, I could faintly hear muffled sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen.

Listening closely, it sounds like Zhou Jinbai is in a meeting or on the phone discussing work-related matters.

Tang Luoqing curiously walked out the door and sure enough, she saw Zhou Jinbai in the kitchen, cooking while wearing an apron and having a video conference with the executives on the other side of the computer.

At this moment, Zhou Jinbai was wearing a white shirt on his upper body and long suit pants on his lower body. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. With an apron tied around his waist, he exuded an elegant and refined aura of restraint while cooking. The sunlight outside the window shone on him, making the whole scene look extremely aloof and noble.

Tang Luoqing leaned against the door, watching with great interest.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Jinbai, who was having a meeting and cooking in the kitchen, spotted Tang Luoqing.

He smiled, briefly discussed some work arrangements with the executives on the other end of the video call, and then hung up the video conference.

Just as a dish was finished cooking, Zhou Jinbai turned off the stove, washed his hands, came to Tang Luoqing, lowered his head, and kissed her on the corner of her mouth: "Awake? Are you hungry? Go wash up and eat."

"Um."

Tang Luoqing lifted her toes and kissed Zhou Jinbai back. Zhou Jinbai then wrapped his arms around her waist, intending to pry open her teeth and deepen the kiss, but she refused.

Tang Luoqing released Zhou Jinbai's neck, took a half step back into the room, and said cheerfully, "No, I didn't brush my teeth."

How could Zhou Jinbai resist Tang Luoqing's initiative to kiss him the moment she woke up? He hooked his arm around Tang Luoqing's waist again, preparing for a deep kiss, but was rejected once more.

"wait for me."

After saying those two words, Tang Luoqing pushed Zhou Jinbai out the door, closed it, and rushed into the bathroom.

She vaguely heard Zhou Jinbai chuckle softly as the door closed.

Tang Luoqing quickly washed up and came out of the bedroom again. Zhou Jinbai had already set out breakfast and lunch.

There was zucchini and beef soup, braised pork, pan-fried cod, and a plate of garlic vermicelli and shrimp—all dishes that Tang Luoqing liked to eat.

"You're such a virtuous woman, if one day you fall in love with someone else like Zhou Yanchen, I'll really be heartbroken."

Tang Luoqing ate her food in a cheerful mood, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

Before she could finish speaking, she realized that she had blurted out everything on her mind.

She looked at Zhou Jinbai awkwardly, and saw him seriously put down his chopsticks, take her hand, and say, "I know you won't believe me if I tell you directly that that day will never come, so... I won't say anything. You just need to watch me do it."

After saying this, Zhou Jinbai picked up a piece of silver cod for Tang Luoqing, carefully removed the only soft bone, and put it into Tang Luoqing's bowl.

Seeing that Zhou Jinbai didn't seem angry, Tang Luoqing stopped paying attention to the topic and continued eating.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Jinbai rinsed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, started the machine, and led Tang Luoqing to sit down on the sofa.

He took a file folder from the coffee table drawer and asked Tang Luoqing to open it and take a look.

Having seen a file folder once before, Tang Luoqing looked at the familiar folder in front of her and couldn't help but wonder, "What's this? It's not some kind of property transfer agreement again, is it? I already said I won't sign it."

"Yes, I didn't ask you to sign anything."

Zhou Jinbai glanced at the file folder again: "Open it and take a look."

Tang Luoqing couldn't resist Zhou Jinbai's urging, so she simply opened it, only to find the words "Transfer Agreement" immediately in front of her eyes.

"You're still saying you won't let me sign? What is this?"

"Don't rush, keep reading."

Tang Luoqing could only patiently continue reading quickly.

Skipping over the various transfer details at the beginning, she flipped directly to the last page of the document. There, in the signature section, her name was already written, and the handwriting was exactly the same as hers.

Tang Luoqing stared in shock, her eyes wide. She turned to look at Zhou Jinbai and anxiously questioned him, "Zhou Jinbai, when did I sign this? I don't remember!"

Last night.

Zhou Jinbai answered honestly.

Tang Luoqing was taken aback: "Last night? But last night I..."

She was so tired last night that she fell asleep. How could she possibly sign anything?

The only explanation is...

"You held my hand and signed it?"

Zhou Jinbai nodded seriously: "Mm."

"Zhou Jinbai, are you stupid? I already agreed to be with you, why did you make me sign this kind of document while I was asleep? Do you want to cheat on me later and lose everything?"

"If that day ever comes, then... I truly deserve nothing."

Tang Luoqing stood there, stunned.
