Chapter 19.1

One must remember not to lose oneself in success, otherwise, you might end up hurting yourself unintentionally.

After taking a bath, Su Qian put on her pajamas, and repeated this sentence in her mind.

The mirror reflected her rosy cheeks and messy, soft hair. Following down, there was her slender swan neck and delicate collarbone. She was wearing the silk camisole pajamas that she wore to bed every day.

But thinking about the situation she was about to face, Su Qian had to put on a cotton robe outside, and wrapped herself like a dumpling.

Before going out, she took a deep breath, hoping that Jin Lie would continue to maintain his unyielding character and not really come to her room to sleep.

Su Qian opened the door and walked out, her feet like white pearls stepping on the soft carpet. She held her breath and looked around, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Jin Lie really didn’t come!

Thinking about it, how could he easily give in with his character? After all, “she” once had crooked thoughts about him. There should be some shadows left in his heart.

Su Qian jumped onto the bed with ease, took off the cotton robe as if she were pulling away a shackle, and threw it out after spinning around like a cowboy lassoing a cow.

The glass door of the balcony opened, and Jin Lie, who walked in, caught the clothes flying towards him.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Su Qian looked at him in shock, then quickly pulled up the quilt to cover herself.

“You, why are you here?!”

“Sleep.” Jin Lie casually threw the bathrobe onto Su Qian’s head.

She pulled it off in one go, not noticing that her movements were too big, and the strap slipped off her shoulder, “Have you forgotten what I’ve done? Aren’t you afraid I’ll do it again?!”

Jin Lie’s eyes flickered, and he calmly looked away, “Can you beat me?”

He tugged the corner of his mouth coldly, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in you.”

Su Qian thought to herself, of course, I know you’re not interested in me. The setting in the book is not only are you not interested in me, but after I betrayed you, you provided evidence to send me to prison. Jin Lie’s true love is the white moonlight far away, and she is just the cold rice that is hard to swallow.

Although she had been prepared for a long time, hearing Jin Lie say this over and over again, as a once universally admired beauty, she still felt uncomfortable.

You can hate me, but you can’t question my charm!

People tend to be radical when they are angry. Su Qian lifted the quilt in one go, proudly raised her chin, and put on the bathrobe slowly under Jin Lie’s gaze.

His gaze didn’t change from beginning to end, and his face was as cold as ever.

Su Qian raised her eyebrows, held her clothes tightly, walked up to him, and expressed her doubts, “You… do you really have a problem?”

Not to mention anything else, just her hot figure and appearance, probably even a gay man would exclaim “Sister, you’re so hot!”

And as for Jin Lie…

Su Qian’s gaze slowly moved, this person from “top” to “bottom” can be said to have no reaction at all.

Jin Lie sneered coldly.

He took a step forward, bent down, and said word by word in her ear, “I am interested in women, just not interested in you.”

After saying that, he walked into the bathroom to take a bath.

Su Qian: “……”

Does that mean she’s not a woman?

What a great insult!

She stared at the closed bathroom door, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Women can accept men not liking them, but they absolutely cannot accept them despising their looks.

She got up angrily and walked to the full-length mirror, looking at herself carefully and seriously.

“This chest, this butt, clearly they are the best among women!”

Tch, this stinky men really have no taste!

Su Qian glanced at the two pillows on the bed, opened the wardrobe resentfully, and took out a brand new quilt from inside and threw it aside.

Go sleep on your marble bed!

Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and Jin Lie came out with a damp aura. Compared to Su Qian, he was much more unrestrained. His bathrobe was loosely draped over his body, even the belt was not tied. His abdominal muscles, glistening with moisture, shone so brightly that they could almost blind others.

This includes Su Qian.

“You look like you want to eat me.” He said as he towelled his hair and raised his eyebrow slightly.

Su Qian came back to her senses, scoffed and said, “Where does your confidence come from?”

She pointed to the quilt and pillow on the side of the bed and said, “This is yours, hurry up and take it away.”

Jin Lie glanced at her, threw away the towel, and spread the quilt on the other side of the bed by himself.

Su Qian: “What are you doing?”

“Making the bed.”

She obviously saw it, she wasn’t blind, “This is my bed, you go sleep on the floor.”

Jin Lie patted the pillow, and said naturally, “I can’t.”

“Why?”

He sneered: “I’m not in good health.”

“……”

What’s your bottom line? ! You can even admit such a thing just to sleep on a bed, how can you be so flexible?

Su Qian patiently analyzed the pros and cons for him, “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for us to sleep together? Please consider your own innocence!”

“I know you’re afraid you can’t control yourself and take advantage of me.” Jin Lie lifted the quilt and sat on the bed, “If you want to sleep, you can go to sleep.”

This damn man, why is he as difficult as a rolling pin!

Su Qian gritted her teeth, “Didn’t you dislike sleeping with me? You just said you weren’t interested in me, could it be that your words don’t match your heart?”

“I’m sleeping on the bed, not on you. Can we turn off the lights now?” To avoid being entangled in her illogical reasoning, Jin Lie decided to end the topic.

Su Qian took a deep breath and said resentfully, “Fine, sleep then, but don’t regret it!”

She lifted the quilt, got into bed, and turned off the light with a snap.

The room was pitch black, with only two steady breaths.

Perhaps because there was an extra person next to him, Jin Lie, who had been lying down for a long time, still had no sleepiness. He turned his head to look in Su Qian’s direction. Her breathing was even, as if she had already fallen asleep.

What a big heart.

Jin Lie twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly felt a soft thing gently scratching his calf. One after another, the flirtatious intention was self-evident.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and the scene of their wedding night emerged in his mind. He sat up and lifted the quilt, but unexpectedly saw a fluffy thing.

“……”

Jin Lie picked up the blueberry and stared at it in the dark. Blueberry seemed to sense the danger, and meowed at him with a milky voice.

Its voice was soft and a bit pitiful.

Su Qian suddenly turned over, and as if disturbed, she frowned.

Jin Lie covered Blueberry’s mouth with his palm, gently got off the bed, and put it back in the cat nest.

“If you come up again, I’ll pluck all your fur.”

“Meow——”

“There are no small fish snacks!”

Blueberry’s big eyes were round, and it meowed again, then curling up in the cat nest when it was being scrutinized.

This thing seemed a bit cute.

Jin Lie stroked its head gently with his fingertips, the little guy yawned sleepily. He curved his lips and said, “Sleep well.”

Then he quietly returned to the room.
