Falling for Your Bed
墨書 Inktalez
The soft golden sunlight gently spilled through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the graceful profile of a woman resting on a round soft bed. Her hair was slightly tousled, her eyes lightly closed, and her eyelashes curled delicately, making her look so beautiful that one couldn't bear to disturb her.
A young boy lay on the bed, propping his chin up with one hand as he stared intently at her sleeping face. The sunlight cast a gentle shadow across his features, and his gaze held a hint of affection mixed with an almost imperceptible depth.
At that moment, the woman's long eyelashes fluttered. The boy immediately buried his head and pretended to be asleep, leaning against her back and finding a comfortable position to nuzzle against her before wrapping his long arms around her waist.
Li Xier furrowed her brow slightly, and as she slowly opened her eyes, a flicker of displeasure crossed her face. Turning around, she looked at the familiar sleeping face, and her expression of annoyance was quickly replaced by resignation.
"Hey, Chi Mo, why are you sleeping in my bed again?!" she said, her tone tinged with exasperation.
The boy rubbed his sleepy eyes and replied innocently, "There was thunder last night... I wanted to sleep with you."
Thunder? How did she not hear it? Li Xier had always regarded him as a younger brother. When he was little, he would often climb into her bed with reasons like "I miss mom's embrace" or "I had a scary nightmare." She used to indulge him. But after he turned eighteen, she imposed a ban on him entering her room freely. Although she was now twenty-eight and could easily be seen as his aunt, there were still boundaries between men and women!
Just like now, with him holding her from behind. His warm and solid chest pressed against her back through the thin fabric of her nightgown, and she could feel the strong rhythm of his heartbeat clearly, causing her heart to race. No! She couldn't lose control just because she was an older single woman.
So she kicked back sharply. "Wow!" Someone was accurately sent tumbling off the bed. "This is your last warning! Don't just come into my bed again!"
After finishing her morning routine, Li Xier changed into a tailored professional outfit. Her hair was meticulously styled, and her makeup was elegant and appropriate. She walked in ten-centimeter stiletto heels, swaying gracefully as she signed documents along the way. Her assistant reported casually, "Another bouquet of fragrant lilies has been delivered for you today. Should we throw them away like usual?"
"No need; bring them to my office," Li Xier replied calmly.
"Understood," the assistant acknowledged.
Outside the door, waiting for news was Lan Tianling, the marketing director of Xin Yang Technology. Upon learning that his feelings were not rejected this time like before, the man in his thirties actually made a victory gesture at the entrance of Dao Yuan before driving away.
Li Xier reached for the car door but was stopped by another hand with distinct knuckles. A warm smile like sunshine was right in front of her.
"Who are you?" Lan Tianling asked.
"You just need to know that we all like the same woman," the young man said with a mischievous grin, an air of mischief surrounding him.
The Lan Tianling nodded knowingly. "So it's that little wolf dog raised by Li Xier. What? Just because you look like you haven't been weaned, you think you can compete with me for a woman?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just here to remind you that Li Xier isn't a bad person; she just has moderate sleepwalking issues. I wonder if you can handle that, old man?" The young man casually shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned against the Lan Tianling's vehicle.
"Old... old man?! What did you just call me, you little brat?" Come on, the Lan Tianling was in his thirties, not old enough to be called 'old man' by a rival!
"By the way, I've slept with Xi'er, so there's no need for you to waste your efforts trying to compete with me," the young man said flippantly.
"Slept... with..." Upon hearing that sensitive word, the Lan Tianling couldn't help but make unhealthy associations. "You little brat, don't you dare walk away! An old man's strength shouldn't be underestimated!"
Just as the Lan Tianling was about to seriously teach that kid a lesson for tarnishing his goddess's image, the young man casually walked into Dao Yuan.
"Chi Mo," Li Xier's voice called from a distance.
"Here," the young man replied.
"Do you want me to become an old maid, single for life without any man to care for me, ultimately turning into a super bitter woman?" Li Xier's tone carried a hint of helplessness and reproach.
"Of course not," Chi Mo said with an aggrieved expression. "We sleep together all the time... and besides, you were the one who touched me this morning..."
"Kicking you off the bed counts?!" Li Xier couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"Of course! It hurt so much; I almost broke my back..." Chi Mo exaggeratedly rubbed his waist.
The employees who had been eavesdropping outside absorbed every keyword—"kicked off the bed," "hurt," "almost broke my back"—and exchanged knowing glances. The boss had indeed made his move! After ten years of waiting, today was finally the day!
As a titan in the business world and a fierce presence on the battlefield, Li Xier found herself utterly helpless against the rebellious youth before her. Not only did he portray their relationship to the outside world in an ambiguous light, but his personal interests were also rather peculiar.
Since he was ten years old, he had driven away all her suitors with various pranks, leaving her to this day without even having held a male hand… (Of course, except for one particular person.)
“If you keep acting like this, we’ll…”
Just as a harsh retort was about to escape her lips, the boy’s sweetly charming smile came dangerously close to her face. “Xier, I told you that you have to wait for me to grow up so I can marry you. Now that I’m old enough, do you want to verify that?”
Huh? She couldn’t have heard him right. Had she just been flirted with by a boy ten years younger than her? What did he mean by “old enough” and “verify”? Where on earth had he learned such things?
Yet, while her heart raged internally, Li Xier’s face flushed deep red.
“Xier, you’re blushing… Are you thinking about something naughty?” His teasing voice lingered in her ears, making them feel strangely warm.
“Chi Mo, go away! I need to work! How am I supposed to earn money to support you, you ungrateful brat?!” Desperate not to embarrass herself in front of a kid, Li Xier had no choice but to feign anger and issue an eviction order.
However, the cunning boy was not deterred; instead, he boldly plopped down on Li Xier’s office chair. “Well then, if you need to work, why not sit on my lap? It’s soft and comfortable.”
If it weren’t for the fact that she had raised this little brat from infancy, Li Xier would have slapped him and called him a rogue. But now, faced with a boy who grew more shameless by the day, Li Xier felt defeated.
She hastily made an excuse about having a technical exchange meeting with a certain company and fled the scene in embarrassment.
