Chapter 627: Someone Came (Part 2)

"It’s fine. I’ll head back tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief. It wouldn’t do for Lu Cheng to neglect his duties just to come see her.

It was already getting late when Lu Cheng went to the university to find Shen Nian. But after a romantic, candlelit late-night meal together, it was now even later.

"It’s getting late. We... should get some rest soon."

Although Lu Cheng and Shen Nian had already experienced the most intimate moments, it had always been at their home. Now, however, they were in a hotel—and a specially decorated one at that.

When Lu Cheng said this, his tone was clearly different from how he would normally say such a thing.

"Mm."

After replying, Shen Nian started toward the bedroom, but she stopped in her tracks when she saw what was inside.

When Shen Nian stood up, Lu Cheng followed suit. By the time she stopped at the bedroom door, Lu Cheng had reached it as well.

Shen Nian paused and turned around, coming face to face with Lu Cheng.

Perhaps it was the incredibly romantic atmosphere created by the hotel room’s decor, or perhaps it was how much she had truly missed Lu Cheng.

Shen Nian didn’t know who initiated it, she or Lu Cheng. All she knew was that the next thing she was aware of, she was lying on the bed, which was covered in rose petals.

And the next time she was fully conscious, she was exhausted, being carried into the bathroom by Lu Cheng and placed in a tub to soak comfortably.

When Shen Nian had first entered the suite, she hadn’t looked inside the bathroom. Only now did she realize that the situation in here was just as extravagant as the room outside.

The tub was full of rose petals, making Shen Nian feel like she was taking a flower petal bath.

Besides, the bathtub was so large it could easily fit both her and Lu Cheng.

And just as that thought crossed Shen Nian’s mind, as if he had read her thoughts, Lu Cheng actually did join her in the spacious tub.

However, Shen Nian was simply too exhausted. So, regardless of what Lu Cheng did, she lay in the tub with a clear conscience, enjoying being pampered by him.

After indulging in the comfortable soak, Shen Nian felt Lu Cheng carry her back to the bedroom. Once she was back on the bed, Shen Nian found the most comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.

When Shen Nian woke up the next morning, she was the only one in the bed.

Sitting up, Shen Nian saw a note left by Lu Cheng next to her hand.

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t have the heart to wake you. I’ve gone back to the company. I’ll come see you again next time."

Shen Nian smiled, easily imagining what Lu Cheng must have looked like that morning, leaning over to write the note.

’But this is a hotel,’ she thought. ’Is Lu Cheng really okay with leaving me here all by myself?’

The thought had barely formed when Shen Nian heard a knock at the door.

’No way. Did someone show up just because I was thinking about it?’

’That can’t be right. This is a nice hotel with good security. They wouldn’t just let a stranger in, would they?’

With that thought, Shen Nian calmed down. She got out of bed, changed her clothes, and then walked to the door to open it.
