Xie Chongwen nodded slightly, "I had some bad experiences when I was a child, which caused me to be afraid of thunder even now."

Lu Qiuyue didn't say anything and just stared at him blankly.

Xie Chongwen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and was afraid that his image in Lu Qiuyue's mind would change, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Do you think I'm useless?"

Lu Qiyue quickly shook her head and denied it. "No, I'm just curious. Mr. Xie, who is considered to be omnipotent in everyone's eyes, is actually afraid of thunder in private."

Lu Qiuyue was only surprised, without any hint of sarcasm.

Xie Chongwen sighed silently, "I know this kind of thing is hard for me to talk about, but we have already obtained the marriage certificate, and I don't want to hide anything from you."

Before they knew it, Xie Chongwen was already sitting in front of the bed. Lu Qiuyue was still immersed in her concern and did not notice his actions.

Lu Qiyue didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement with Xie Chongwen's words, "Since you are so scared, stay here and sleep together tonight."

The corners of Xie Chongwen's mouth curled up, but it was quickly suppressed. His expression became subdued and reserved. His eyes glanced out the window from time to time, with a frightened look.

Lu Qiuyue couldn't help but think of herself when she was a child. It wasn't that she was born not afraid of thunder. When she was very young, she went to her father Lu for care because she was afraid of thunder, but was driven into a dark utility room by her mother Meng Yanjuan, who locked the door.

That night, the thunder and heavy rain drowned out Lu Qiuyue's miserable voice.

She couldn't remember how she fell asleep that night. Anyway, she fell seriously ill after that night. From then on, she didn't dare to speak out her fear even if she was afraid.

Even if she said it, no one would feel sorry for her, and she might even become a laughing stock.

The fear that Xie Chongwen kept talking about evoked many memories for Lu Qiuyue.

Her eyes were full of comfort as she looked at Xie Chongwen.

Xie Chongwen misunderstood her meaning and took off his coat and prepared to go to bed, but was stopped by Lu Qiuyue.

"Mr. Xie, your bed is downstairs."

Xie Chongwen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't you say we should sleep together?"

"I mean sleeping in the same room, not on the same bed, and you already have a bed on the floor." Lu Qiuyue couldn't bear to sleep in the same bed with a man.

She is not mentally prepared yet.

Xie Chongwen smiled awkwardly, immediately took off his coat and returned to the floor.

Lu Qiuyue quickly fell asleep on the bed. A lot of things happened to her throughout the day and she was exhausted.

Xie Chongwen just lay on the bed, his dark eyes fixed on the person on the bed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Although they didn't sleep in the same bed, they were in the same room and he could see the person he cared about just by looking up. This kind of life was something he had never dared to imagine before.

Lu Qiuyue... Xie Chongwen couldn't remember how many times he repeated this name in his mind before falling asleep.

The next morning, the dawn broke and the sunlight shone through the windows onto the people in the house, waking them up from their sleep.

Lu Qiuyue slept soundly that night and stretched. Before she had time to adjust to everything, suddenly, a pleasant voice abruptly rang out.

"Good morning." The man's voice was mellow, powerful, and very pleasant to the ear, which immediately drove away all of Lu Qiuyue's sleepiness.

She subconsciously followed the sound and saw Xie Chongwen sitting in front of the window. He was sitting casually on a chair, flipping through a book in his hand, but his eyes were only on her. The man in the backlight was shining.

Lu Qiuyue had known for a long time that Xie Chongwen was a famous handsome guy in the circle, and had also seen his stunning face in some magazines. However, even though photography technology was becoming more and more advanced, it was still impossible to capture two-fifths of Xie Chongwen's handsomeness.

He is so handsome that words cannot describe it.

When Lu Qiuyue thought about being stared at by such a handsome man while she was sleeping, her face inexplicably felt hot.

"Good morning, when did you get up?" Lu Qiuyue avoided Xie Chongwen's gaze and asked curiously.

"It was half an hour ago. I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly." Xie Chongwen answered every question he asked, without throwing any of Lu Qiuyue's questions aside.

Lu Qiuyue had an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was a wonderful feeling to be cared for by others. She had seldom had such experience before. However, she could get complete care from Xie Chongwen.

It turns out that every action of a well-educated person can make people feel at ease.

Lu Qiuyue was very happy, at least her life with Xie Chongwen would not be in dire straits.

Lu Qiuyue looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before work started, enough time for her to have a meal before going to the company.

"Mr. Xie, aren't you going to work?"

Xie Chongwen closed the book in his hand and stood up. "I'm waiting for you to have breakfast together. After breakfast, I'll ask the driver to take you to your workplace, and then I'll go to work."

Xie Chongwen arranged everything properly.

Lu Qiuyue was flattered. She was suddenly cared for in such meticulous ways that she didn't know how to respond for a moment. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to hide.

She is good for nothing, so why could she receive such caring care from someone like Xie Chongwen?

Once again, I sigh that well-educated people are so easy to get along with.

"No need to be so troublesome. I can just take the bus there after dinner. Mr. Xie, just go about your business and don't pay too much attention to me." Lu Qiuyue was deliberately distant.

Xie Chongwen looked at her deeply. Could it be that he was too enthusiastic and scared her?

"Do you really not need me to ask the driver to take you to work?" Xie Chongwen asked again.

Lu Qiyue waved her hands quickly, "Really, no need. Mr. Xie is very busy, you should just focus on your own things. We can just continue to lead the same life as before."

Xie Chongwen pondered for a moment. Lu Qiuyue's refusal didn't seem fake, so he didn't want to continue to be in a stalemate.

"Then go downstairs to eat first."

"I'm going to wash up first."

Xie Chongwen went downstairs first. Mrs. Li had already prepared breakfast. There were several kinds of breakfast on the table, all of which were ordered by Xie Chongwen early in the morning.

Mrs. Li was curious. Usually, Xie Chongwen only needed a cup of coffee and a sandwich at home. This was the first time he ordered so much for breakfast like this morning.

From the perspective of someone who has experienced this, there should be more than just her and Xie Chongwen in the room today.

Hearing footsteps coming up the stairs, Mrs. Li immediately put down the work in her hands and looked around curiously, but she only saw Xie Chongwen coming down the stairs alone, with no one behind him.

Mrs. Li finally couldn't hold back her doubts anymore, so she impulsively stepped forward and asked curiously, "Sir, why are you the only one coming downstairs? Where's the other one?"

Xie Chongwen frowned slightly, his eyes full of curiosity, "Mrs. Li, how did you know that I'm not the only one upstairs?"
