Once Upon A One Night Stand

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?"

She looked over with her big clear eyes and stricken Li Han speechless. What way... If it could be

solved so easily, how could he fall into the dilemma as he did now?

"Are you... going to move to live there and leave me alone here?" Shu Tian smiled wryly after saying

that. It was ridiculous enough just when she imagined it.

"No." Li Han held her little face and stopped her from wandering thoughts. "I won't leave you alone."

Listening to his promise, Shu Tian was not happy. The more he wanted to make both sides happy, the RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

more he needed to cater to the needs of both of them. Also, he would be more tired when he was

sandwiched in the middle. If he wanted to compromise, he could only run back and forth.

According to Jiang Chujing's current situation, it was impossible for Jiang Chujing to compromise. Then

the only one who could compromise was her.

However generous and considerate Shu Tian was, she didn't want her man to live with another woman.

She believed in Li Han, but she didn't know Jiang Chujing well enough.

She felt that it was just the beginning. Once Jiang Chujing moved in, there would be inevitable frictions

between them.

But in this case, if she didn't allow Jiang Chujing to move in, what would Li Han do if anything

happened to her?

There was always one side that had to take a step back and sacrifice a little. If it was for him...

Shu Tian sighed and looked up at the man beside her. She secretly made up her mind and said before

she regretted it, "If it's for the treatment, let her live here."

Hearing her, even Li Han, ever the unperturbed one, could not hide his astonishment. "Do you know

what it means to live in?"

"I know." Shu Tian curled her lips in dismay. "Although I'm unwilling to, she is your nominal sister and

has such a disease. I can still tell what is urgent and important."

"Tian..."

Shu Tian's eyes warmed up and she raised her hand to cover his mouth. "Stop talking, lest I would

want to eat back my word soon."

Li Han pulled her hand off and kissed it gently. "You can go back on your word."

"That's easy to say. I don't have any reason to go back on my word." Shu Tian stared deeply into the

man's unfathomable eyes as if to see through his heart. "Let's work together. When she gets better, we

won't have to worry so much."

Her words were like a punch to Li Han's heart, annihilating all his pessimistic and negative thoughts at

this moment. She said that they would work together and wait for Jiang Chujing to recover.

She had said that, and why should he still be dejected?

Li Han was so moved, and he reached out to hold her in his arms. He, Li Han, had never loved anyone

in 32 years. He didn't know anything else, but he knew that as long as he was alive one day in his life,

he would not disappoint Shu Tian.

When the news reached Jiang Chujing's ears, she was swift in her move. The next night, she packed

up and went to the Imperial Villa. Li Wei personally drove her there.

Before getting into the car, Li Wei took her luggage off at the North Villa. When he got to the last one,

Jiang Chujing suddenly blocked his way.

Li Wei paused and looked at the woman in confusion.

It was at this moment that Jiang Chujing made an incredible move.

She kissed him on the cheek!

Li Wei took a big step back and raised his hand to cover the place where her lips touched. "Chu,

Chujing..."
