Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 182

When Li Han returned to the villa, it was almost eleven o'clock. As he had expected, she was waiting for him. Pushing open the bedroom door, he found the wall lamp was on, and she slouched on the bedside with a stack of documents in her hand. It was the case she was in charge of. By the side, her laptop was on, and he could see the text in the word document read "Final Report".

The woman who said she would go to bed only after he came back had already fallen asleep unconsciously. Her head slouched and her neck was bent in an extremely uncomfortable position.

Li Han walked closer and took the stuff away from her hands. He leaned over to protect her neck as he slowly laid her down on the bed. He didn't intend to wake her from her rest, but she was still awake.

Shu Tian vaguely felt someone moving her, so she opened her eyes in a daze, only to see the man's sexy jaw. She subconsciously reached out her arm to wrap around his neck, then she asked in a muffled voice, "What time is it?"

"It's almost eleven o'clock." Li Han pulled the quilt over and covered her. "Sleep properly when you're drowsy. Does your neck hurt?"

"I promised I would wait for you. Fortunately, you didn't come back very late." Shu Tian didn't let go of her arm as she leaned over to rub his neck affectionately like a kitten. "Are you hungry?"

Li Han's heart was bubbling with warmth hearing her question. For many years, he had been looking forward to having someone ask such a simple question when he came back from work. His tone softened. "I'm not hungry. Didn't you cook noodles for me tonight?"

"Oh yes, I forgot." Shu Tian rubbed her eyes. It seemed it had become a habit for her to care about whether he had eaten.

"Go to sleep. I'll take a shower." Seeing that she was so sleepy, Li Han could not bear to say those words to her. He never procrastinated in his work, yet it was the first time he hesitated.

Shu Tian grabbed his hand. "Go and change your clothes. I'll turn on the tap for you. You should take a good bath and relax after a tiring day."

As she spoke, she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed. Li Han pressed her shoulder, his eyes bloodshot. He didn't go to the company today, and his hair was casually combed. Fortunately, his slightly long bangs were lying on his forehead, just enough to block his eyes, so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Normally, Shu Tian would never take the initiative, but today... Her heart ached at the thought of what had happened in the North Villa.

Especially at this moment, the way he sat by the bed with his head slouching made her heart almost stop beating.

"Li Han." Shu Tian called his name seriously. "Do you have something to tell me?"

After six months together, they knew each other well enough. If it was normal, he would not have shown such a heavy look when he returned home. There must be something unusual and troubling that made him wear such a wary expression.

Li Han didn't expect her to be so sensitive. He didn't want to tell her tonight, but when she started the topic, he had to answer.

"Tian." He felt his throat annoyingly dry, and every word he said hurt like a blade cutting into his vocal cords. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth with difficulty. "The attending doctor in A Country suggested that Chujing should move in with us."

The smile on Shu Tian's lips froze. She wasn't unhappy, but it was just... a little unexpected.

She thought this was over, but she didn't expect there would be any follow-up.

Shu Tian was a little flustered as she had never thought that it would trouble him so much.

So he handed over the decision to her now?

Did she have a choice?

Shu Tian didn't know. She just didn't know how to answer him, and even comforting words stuck in her throat.

Li Han perceived the bewilderment and embarrassment in her eyes and stroked her delicate face with his big palm. "Tian, if you don't agree, I can think of another way to compromise."

"What way?"
