Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 38

“Mm hmm, okay.” Yun Muqing instinctively nodded, then glared at Chu Feng when his words registered. “What do you mean, me taking advantage of you? Is there even anything about you for me to take advantage of?”

Chu Feng laughed and continued to coax the little girl to sleep in his arms. He’d cracked that joke to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

Yun Muqing laughed demurely; the atmosphere was much less tense, but her heart was still beating wildly. After all these years, since when had she gotten this close to a member of the opposite sex? And on the same bed, no less?! Sure, all this was for Duo Duo to fall asleep and nothing had happened between them so far, but how could she not think about it as an adult?

Yun Muqing tossed and turned, her gaze fixed on her phone’s time display as she prayed for Duo Duo to fall asleep and for Chu Feng to leave. This feeling was unbearable—hmm? Why was she hearing the sound of snoring? Chu Feng… was asleep? Here, of all places?!

An unmarried man and a woman, on the same bed? What was going on? Her eyes snapped open and she sat bolt upright on the bed, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. She was just about to shove Chu Feng away and make him leave when she saw the sight of him holding onto Duo Duo, and the sight of his handsome sleeping face, and Duo Duo’s sweet smile as she burrowed into Chu Feng’s arms, she hesitated.

“Chu Feng had been helping me all day, so he must be tired. Am I being too heartless if I woke him up and chased him out?” Yun Muqing bit her lower lip in hesitation. Besides, Duo Duo was right between his arms, if she woke Duo Duo up, then she'd throw another tantrum for sure.

So Yun Muqing took a deep breath and laid back in bed, then faced the other direction with frustration. Fine. I'll bear with this for my daughter. Just pretend there's a stuffed animal on the bed. A stuffed animal that would never try to touch me, Yun Muqing consoled herself internally.

Yun Muqing didn’t get much sleep the whole night, and now what remained of her sleepiness was gone.

“Duo Duo, what are you looking for this early in the morning?”

“Daddy!” Duo Duo jumped into Chu Feng’s arms and blinked curiously with her big, innocent eyes. “That’s weird, where’s my brother?”
