959. Avoiding me like a plague god

Qiao Xu knew that Lu Moqing was deliberately keeping his distance from her due to the incident in the morning.

She did not pressure him or blame him, knowing that she needed to give him time to think things through.

But after giving him a day's time, and after dinner, when it was past midnight, Lu Moqing still hadn't returned, Qiao Xu was somewhat annoyed.

She didn't wait any longer, and after washing up, she went to bed.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that she was awakened by the sound of a quilt rustling.

Blinking her eyes in confusion, she saw the night light on in the room. She glanced at the wall clock, and it was already past 1 AM.

"You're back?"

Lu Moqing didn't expect Qiao Xu to wake up at this moment. Startled as if he were caught in the act, he hesitated for a moment before nodding guiltily.

"Mhm, I'm back. Did I wake you up?"

"No, I've slept enough."

Qiao Xu sat up on the bed and looked at the fatigue on his face, her eyebrows imperceptibly knitting.
