I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Let’s Go to Sleep

Lu Wanggui entered the house with Xiang Xiaoyuan in his arms. Before he even stepped on the stairs, he saw Lu Bei walking out of the study in a daze.

He hadn’t eaten much for dinner. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. However, when he went out, he saw his father carrying his stepmother. Both of them were still wet.

Lu Bei instantly woke up. The first thought in his mind was to run!

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran back to his room. With a bang, he closed the door.

Lu Wanggui: “…”

The night was getting more and more chaotic.

He stood in the same spot for a while before carrying Xiang Xiaoyuan upstairs. When he passed by Lu Bei’s room, he paused for a moment before continuing.

After entering the master bedroom, he put Xiang Xiaoyuan down. “Go to the bathroom and take a shower. Don’t dawdle. The air conditioning is on in the room. You might catch a cold.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan reluctantly put down her arm and said, “Yes, I know.”

She obediently picked up the bathrobe on the side and walked towards the bathroom. The water on the swimsuit slid down her calves and slowly seeped into the wool carpet on the floor.

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a little distressed. That was a nice wool carpet. It could not be used if it was soaked in water. She turned her head and told Lu Wanggui, “You should take a shower too. Don’t let the water on your body wet the carpet.”

If Lu Wanggui had not understood Xiang Xiaoyuan’s personality, he would have thought that she was pretending to be drunk because she did not look drunk.

However, what she said and did made it clear to him that she wouldn’t be like this if she wasn’t drunk.

Lu Wanggui went to the bathroom in the next room to take a shower. After he quickly changed into his pajamas, he returned to the master bedroom and blowdried his hair in front of the mirror.

When she heard the noise, she turned her head to look at him. Her gaze fell on his short wet hair, and she beckoned at him as if she was greeting a little animal. “Come here, I’ll help you dry your hair.”

Lu Wanggui did not move, but Xiang Xiaoyuan did not care. She pulled out the plug and walked to his side barefooted on the wool blanket. She plugged the hair dryer into the socket at the side and stood on tiptoe to blow-dry his hair.

It was past midnight, and everything was silent. Only the sound of the hairdryer could be heard.

Lu Wanggui lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who was focused on blow drying his hair.

His hair was short and dried very quickly. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not ask him to dry her hair. She had a lot of hair and it was long and thick. By the time she dried her hair, it was already very late.

Lu Wanggui sat by the bed. It was rare that he did not read a book or look at his phone. He stared at the silk blanket on the bed and no one knew what he was thinking. Xiang Xiaoyuan put down the hairdryer and hopped onto the bed. After hugging the pillow and lying down, she let out a comfortable sigh. After tonight, she was very sleepy. She yawned and looked at Lu Wanggui sleepily.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had a pair of lively almond-shaped eyes. Her personality was becoming more and more similar to before she transmigrated into the novel.

In the past, a friend had told Xiang Xiaoyuan that she had a pair of eyes that were very good at deceiving people. If she was interested in someone, she would be very focused on the person. She would watch the person until their face was red. Her focus would give people the feeling that they were the only person in her eyes.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had many admirers and relationships. The reason why she was not called a playgirl was because she only liked one person at a time, and every time she did, it was sincere.

Lu Wanggui was calm. Of course, he would not be seduced by Xiang Xiaoyuan’s gaze. Or rather, even if he was, he could take it calmly.

He calmly raised his eyes to meet hers. His gaze was calm and unruffled. He felt that this was the end of the matter. She had come out of the swimming pool and was no longer tossing and turning. She was obediently lying on the bed, preparing to fall asleep. In that case, he could also retire.

The moment he got up, his arm was grabbed. Xiang Xiaoyuan used her elbow to prop herself up. One of her hands grabbed him and shook him. “Alright, I won’t look at you anymore. Let’s go to sleep.”

After saying that, as if to prove that what she said was true, she hurriedly laid down and pulled up the blanket, closing her eyes tightly. She had initially just wanted him to not leave, but when she closed her eyes, she felt a surge of sleepiness. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Wanggui listened to her steady breathing and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he laid down beside her with a strange feeling. In the darkness, his senses were clearer than usual. As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene in the pool appeared in his mind.

The sound of her breathing and the faint rose fragrance on her body lingered in his ears and nostrils. Along with the feeling of her hands clasped around his neck, it was deeply etched into his mind at this moment and played repeatedly.
