The Spoilt Wife’s Happy Life with the Commander - Chapter 43 - Sleep with You

Chapter 43 Sleep with You
Lin Qing was shocked very much. She pulled the bath towel around her tighter, probably afraid that Mu Li would rush into the bathroom. She said, “I… I’m not wearing anything…”

Her words were truly worrying.

Mu Li placed his hand on the doorknob. Through the glass, he could vaguely see the outline of Lin Qing.

She stood behind the door, motionless.

Mu Li pondered for a moment and withdrew his hand.

“I’m going to turn on the hot water. Stay still.” Mu Li gave her an instruction before leaving.

Lin Qing stood there and let out a long sigh of relief.

On the way back, she thought a lot and figured everything out. Finally, she came to a startling conclusion: she had fallen in love with Mu Li.

Given that she had thought about it calmly before getting this conclusion, Lin Qing felt it was very reliable.

But—

What should she do?

After she understood her own mind, it seemed she could no longer look at Mu Li as calmly as before. Every time he glanced at her, Lin Qing didn’t dare to look up because she was afraid of being found out.

She also knew that if it went on like this, Mu Li would find it out eventually.

Therefore, she was caught in a dilemma.

“Achoo!”

All of a sudden, Lin Qing sneezed.

She seemed to have caught a cold.

Mu Li had just turned on the hot water and returned. When he reached the door, he happened to hear the sneeze, so he knocked on the glass door again.

“Lin Qing, open the door.” He wanted to see if Lin Qing was okay.

However, Lin Qing made up her mind that she would never open the door.

Seeing Lin Qing didn’t respond, Mu Li was about to knock on the door again, but he heard the sound of water flowing from inside.

His mouth twitched. Did this woman take pleasure in ignoring him?

Depressed, Mu Li went downstairs and continued to watch TV.

When Lin Qing got out of the shower, her hair was still dripping and fell over her shoulders in wetness.

Mu Li threw a towel at Lin Qing, which landed in Lin Qing’s arms perfectly.

“Dry your hair, or you’ll catch a cold.” As he spoke, he looked up at Lin Qing.

However, Lin Qing only nodded and didn’t look at him. She turned around with an awkward expression and started to dry her hair.

“Why are you avoiding me?” Mu Li saw through Lin Qing’s minds at a glance and asked coldly.

“Avoiding you?” Lin Qing pretended to be calm. “I’m not.”

After saying that, she returned the towel to Mu Li and pouted. “Okay, done, I’m going to sleep.”

“Lin Qing,” Mu Li raised his eyebrows and reminded her, “it’s only four o’clock in the afternoon.”

Lin Qing closed her lips and showed a regretful look. She smirked, “Well… I didn’t sleep well last night. So I need to catch up on my sleep.”

Mu Li found this reason was really interesting.

He thought for a moment, then got up from the sofa and walked towards Lin Qing. “Okay, I’ll sleep with you.”

“What?” Lin Qing’s jaw dropped open. She was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth.

When she realized what was happening, Mu Li had held her hand and led her to the bedroom.

The two of them were lying on a large bed. The woman in the cream-white pajamas with baby bears printed on the front was lying on her side close to the bedside, while the man in the shirt with cuffs rolled to his elbows occupied most of the rest of the bed.

“Weren’t you going to sleep? It’s already been half an hour, why are you still awake?” From time to time, the man would raise his eyebrows and remind the woman.

The woman would curl up her body and take a peek at the man, then continued pretending to be asleep.

Mu Li had already read most of the book that was placed at the bedside. Now, he closed the book and put it back, then turned to lie on one side with one palm supporting his own head, sizing Lin Qing up.

Although her eyes were tightly closed, her eyeballs were moving around under her eyelids.

Obviously she was not asleep.

“Are you sleepy?” Mu Li pretended not to see that scene and asked with concern.

Lin Qing squinted her eyes and nodded heavily.

Mu Li revealed a thoughtful look and offered her an idea. “In this case, I can teach you a method of falling asleep quickly. Do you want to know it?”

Lin Qing acted like she was sleepy and was eager to know about it, and she nodded again.

Therefore, Mu Li placed a hand on Lin Qing’s waist under the thin sheet and unexpectedly pulled her closer to him.

Lin Qing was startled. She raised her head suddenly and happened to look into his dark and deep eyes.

She was speechless for a moment and just allowed Mu Li to hold her.

“In this way, you can fall asleep very quickly.” Mu Li did not forget to whisper leisurely in her ear.

In this way…

It was more difficult for her to fall asleep.

It seemed that she had really forced herself into a dead end this time.

Lin Qing was extremely regretful and shuddered.

Mu Li raised her chin and found she looked weird, so he asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Lin Qing shook her head. She bit her lip and did not answer.

She did…

She did feel a bit uncomfortable.

However, she thought it was because Mu Li held her, which made her feel too nervous.

After a while, Lin Qing held her breath and said, “Well… I’d just sleep on the other side…”

She whispered as she was about to move. Not surprisingly, Mu Li stopped her.

“Didn’t I just say I’ll sleep with you?” Mu Li slowly emphasized the second half of the sentence.

Lin Qing’s body trembled.

What great virtues or merits did she have so that she could have the great Army Commander Mu sleep with her?

Nothing at all. So she continued to find a way to get free. “It’s a little cramped here, I’d better sleep on the other side. You offered to sleep with me, but I shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable, right?”

She felt that she made an excellent point and liked it to herself silently.

But Mu Li raised his eyebrows. “Since you feel it is already very cramped on this side, why would you want to go to the other side that is more cramped?”

Lin Qing turned her head and had a look. True, there was no room for her to draw further back.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Qing was regretting, Mu Li pulled the thin quilt away from her body. He waved his big hand and threw most of the quilt to cover his own body.

“My quilt…” Lin Qing reached out to grab it, but it was already too late.

Therefore, half of the quilt over Lin Qing was gone and her back was exposed.

At this time, Mu Li opened his arms generously. “I know it’s a little cold out there, I’m quite reluctant to do so, but you can hug me.”

Lin Qing moved towards him a bit, deliberately avoiding his hug.

Even so, Lin Qing did fall asleep after a while. She was not sleepy at first, but with Mu Li lying by her side, she was relieved and gradually fell sound asleep.

In the end, she was still held by Mu Li into his arms.

Mu Li lowered his head and looked at Lin Qing who was breathing evenly. He was very happy in his heart.

Lin Qing slept for a long time, waking up only once.

There was a very strange feeling in her body. It made her feel very uncomfortable that something was burning hot for a time and then was freezing cold for another. So she closed her eyes tightly, and then shrank her head a bit and leaned into Mu Li’s arms.

Mu Li didn’t believe this was an action that was done by Lin Qing, so he stared at her.

He saw that Lin Qing tilted her small head and leaned against his chest. She was breathing warmly and evenly on his body.

Then, she stretched out her slender arms and hugged him.

When Mu Li tried to speak to her, she fell asleep again.

Afterwards, Mu Li got up and cooked something while Ling Qing was sleeping. He wanted to feed Lin Qing some food, but Lin Qing was too lazy to move.

He had no choice but to give up.

And there was only one reason why Lin Qing was so listless—

She was having a fever.

Mu Li discovered it at midnight. This result did not surprise Mu Li at all.

Earlier, he took the temperature of Lin Qing by feeling her forehead. It was a little high. He tried to feed her some medicine, but she snorted and pushed the medicine away.

“I don’t want to take medicine…” Lin Qing said like a spoiled child with a nasal voice.

“Be good, take the medicine and you will be fine.” Mu Li was exceptionally gentle. Because he wanted to coax her into taking the medicine.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qing declined and buried her head into the bed sheet.

Mu Li had to give up.

Right now at this moment, he brought a glass of warm water and sat on the bedside again. He handed the tablets in his palm over to Lin Qing.

“Lin Qing, get up and take the medicine,” he said gently.

Hearing “take the medicine” again, Lin Qing muttered to protest, and opened her slightly reddened eyes.

“I don’t want to take the medicine…” Her dry lips were a little pale, and her voice was hoarse.

Mu Li didn’t intend to let Lin Qing act willfully this time. He put the glass at the bedside, then supported her up and made her lean against him.

Mu Li put the tablets directly at Lin Qing’s mouth. “Be good, take them.”

Lin Qing had an expression full of reluctance and pain on her small face. She stubbornly shook her head.

Mu Li had no choice. He put the tablets into his own mouth.

Lin Qing probably glanced at him and saw this. She was very astonished. “What… What are you doing… Taking medicine in that way is harmful to your health… Spit them out, quickly…”

Even though she had such a bad fever, she was still worried about Mu Li.

Mu Li lifted her little face. Then he leaned his mouth closer to hers and kissed her lips.

Lin Qing was still conscious. Mu Li’s sudden move upset her.

She wanted to push Mu Li away, but she was too weak to do that. She could only let him hug her and kiss her pale lips.

If he continued, he might get infected.

Lin Qing was so anxious that she was about to resist him, but suddenly she felt that there were several tablets in her mouth.

It turned out that Mu Li was trying to use this method to feed Lin Qing the tablets.

Lin Qing wanted to spit them out, but it was too late.

Lin Qing frowned. Her whole face knitted together, and she finally swallowed the tablets reluctantly.

As she swallowed those tablets, she vaguely heard a gentle voice coming from above her head, “That’s my good girl.”

The voice was way too pleasant to the ears. It was full of the warmth like the sun and made Lin Qing smile.

Mu Li put Lin Qing back to lie in the bed again and carefully covered her with the quilt. This time, he got a thicker quilt for Ling Qing. Lin Qing felt warm and tucked the quilt under her chin by herself.

Seeing that she was feeling better, Mu Li prepared to stand up and get her a glass of water. When he was about to move, Lin Qing grabbed him by the hand.

“Don’t leave…” She snorted and held his hand tightly.

Mu Li touched her forehead. It was still very hot. So he sat down by the bedside and let her hold his hand.

He didn’t move all night.

Early the next morning.

Lin Qing’s fever was gone, but she was still lethargic. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and sleepy, and she was fatigued.

And…

She blinked her eyes. She also pinched herself to make sure that it wasn’t her delusion. But what she saw was the same picture.

Mu Li was sitting by the bedside, whereas she was grabbing him by the hand and lying on Mu Li’s legs.

What’s more, when Lin Qing wanted to pretend to be asleep, she found that Mu Li was looking at her with his deep eyes.

“Mu Li… Heh heh…” Lin Qing smiled awkwardly. She tried to let go of his hand secretly.

Unexpectedly, Mu Li turned over his hand and captured hers.

“You were very open when you’re sick…” Mu Li revealed a thoughtful look. He lowered his head and stared at her.

“Huh?” Lin Qing was stunned and didn’t have a clue what he meant. “What…what did I do?”

She always had a strong feeling that something unpleasant or dangerous was going to happen in this strange atmosphere.

Mu Li pulled his lips into a smirk. “If you hadn’t been in sickness, I would have refused you offering yourself.”
