Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Suddenly, An Indescribable Heartflutter

"Chu Ci, you’ve done whatever you wanted, can’t you let me sleep?" Zhao Mo Ran snapped her head back.

Her voice was slightly weary, "I’m very tired, Xunxun is too active."

Perhaps because Chu Xun was mentioned, Chu Ci’s expression softened a little. He extinguished the cigarette and spoke calmly, "How is she troubling you?"

"She’s not really troubling, just refuses to sleep," she responded, her voice tinged with a sob. She just couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t let her go when there were so many women outside he could have fun with.

Chu Ci stared into her eyes, finally satisfied, and withdrew his hand, "If she doesn’t sleep at night, she’ll naturally sleep during the day."

She felt speechless, turned her back, and whispered, "Do you even care about her? No child can go without sleep at night."

He probably didn’t have much work the next day, so he was leisurely enough to torment her, placing his large hand on her shoulder, speaking softly, "I worry about you, hmm?"

"I don’t need you to worry," she almost cried again, "You can’t even worry about all the women outside... Chu Ci, can’t you just let me go?"

His hand paused for a moment, somewhat indifferent: ’Alright, go to sleep.’

He didn’t trouble her further, but she, on the contrary, couldn’t sleep. With her eyes open till two or three in the morning, still unable to fall asleep, she turned over, and Chu Ci spoke up, "Are you going to let people sleep or not?"

She lowered her eyes, "I can’t sleep."

Saying that she got up, "I should sleep in the nursery or the guest room, you have to go to the company tomorrow."

He chuckled awkwardly, "Really considerate."

He pressed her back down, "Stop tossing and turning."

She felt a bit aggrieved, biting the blanket, "I’m not used to it."

Chu Ci touched her cheek, "Why are you still acting like a little girl, I haven’t done anything to you, Mrs. Chu? Although a noble lady must be dignified, that’s for outside, at home in the bedroom, that’s not needed, a woman being too pretentious appears boring."

"I’m not." She defended herself.

Chu Ci slowly lost patience, "Alright, you stay here, I’ll go sleep in the guest room."

He told himself this was for Xunxun, for the child to have healthy milk, she needed rest to produce rich nutrients. With that decision, he lifted the quilt and went to the guest room; yet, lying down, he felt wronged. He was her husband, he had the right, so why did she reject him?

With Chu Ci’s usual domineering style, he might storm back to the main bedroom, but he held back, lay down, and closed his eyes.

He didn’t want to see her avoiding gaze and gestures; clearly, in her heart, he was just a jerk.

Let it be.

Chu Ci felt troubled and couldn’t sleep either, so he got up and went to the nursery to see Xiao Xunxun. At least bullying the little one was more interesting than troubling Zhao Mo Ran.

But as soon as he opened the nursery door slightly, he was stunned.

His wife was there, sitting on the sofa holding the little baby, the baby in her arms eating eagerly and sweetly. Her eyes were lowered, her face exuded a gentle warmth under the soft yellow light, and she even patted the little one’s back, occasionally humming a lullaby.

Chu Ci stood frozen, staring at her as if entranced.

Once, the scene he fantasized about a thousand times appeared, imagining it was Yan Yan as the mother like this, but now it was Zhao Mo Ran, the wife he didn’t intend to love.

She didn’t notice him at the doorway, continued patting the baby, her bowed neck exposed a slice of porcelain-white skin, even her nightgown was slightly loose... Chu Ci’s eyes tightened, at this moment, he felt incredibly moved.

A feeling seldom felt before.

Yet, a touch of desolation swept through his heart at this time, it seemed he was a little late. When she feared and disliked him, he was moved and wanted to spend a lifetime with her. He found it ridiculous for both himself and her. They had been married for a year, but he had not once treated her as a true wife, she was more of a vase.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Chu Ci’s mind, in the end, he gently pushed open the door. The person inside startled, raised her eyes seeing him, spoke softly, "Chu Ci, why aren’t you asleep?"

Initially, she thought he might bother her somewhat, but he just sat beside her, saying quite gently, "Couldn’t sleep, came to check on Xunxun."

As he spoke, he touched the little one’s head, causing his wife to stiffen at his action...

He could tell she was restraining herself from pushing him away, eyes darkened, he withdrew his hand, changed the subject saying, "She looks paler, her brows a bit like mine, nose and mouth like yours, quite good-looking."

Zhao Mo Ran glanced at him, surprised, and after a long pause, she slowly said, "It’s too early to tell, isn’t it?"

His words were clearly trying to please her, but she didn’t understand why he was doing it... However, she didn’t intend to delve into it. Once Xiao Xunxun finished eating, she adjusted her clothes, carefully held the child to place in the crib, but Chu Ci said, "Let me hold her for a while."

She was surprised, looking at him. But still, she handed the child to him.

Chu Ci took her carefully, held her, and kissed her: "Does she need to eat once a night?"

She adjusted her nightgown indifferently, "Sometimes once, sometimes twice."

Chu Ci looked at the child, then gazed at her with a fiery look. She wore a champagne-colored silk nightgown, not exposing anything, yet her whole person appeared smooth and soft, especially with her long hair reaching her waist and slightly curled. One must admit, after having the child, she gained more charm, and it was precisely this charm that moved Chu Ci, making him think of lifetime commitments.

After a while, Chu Ci spoke, "That’s pretty tiring."

Then he added, "Starting tonight, let’s keep the baby in our room, easier for night feeding."

She was surprised, gazed at him.

Chu Ci held the baby, said calmly, "Let’s go back to sleep."

Then naturally carried the baby away, Zhao Mo Ran was stunned for a full ten seconds before following, "Chu Ci, didn’t you say it’s better for her to sleep in the nursery?"
