Chapter 2176 - 2179: Who Is Precious Heart’s Big Boss? 19

"Eat slowly." Sheng Sheng took a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth, "Be careful not to choke."

"Milk."

Sheng Sheng handed the milk to her mouth. Maimai took a gulp and then buried herself in her dinner again. She was really starving, having skipped both lunch and dinner. She wasn’t sure if it was because she was hungry that it tasted so good, or if Sheng Sheng’s cooking was just genuinely delicious, but she devoured everything on the plate like a whirlwind.

"Still hungry?"

"Burp..." Maimai let out a burp and shook her head, "I’m full."

Sheng Sheng smiled without saying anything, intending to take her upstairs to rest. Maimai wasn’t sleepy and insisted on staying in the living room to watch TV with Hua Hua. Sheng Sheng stayed with her for a while but left slightly disappointed as he found no opportunity to coax her back to the room for some cuddling.

"So, how did you two make up again?" Hua Hua asked gossipingly.

Maimai beamed, "Sheng Sheng wasn’t cheating on me. That woman’s name is Chao Sisi, and she’s his cousin."

"Oh, Sisi."

Maimai pouted, "She went too far, making me misunderstand like that."

"That girl has always been a handful," Hua Hua said, "I told you not to be so impulsive. Were you embarrassed?"

Maimai rolled her eyes, got up, "I’m going back to my room for some beauty sleep, hmph, can’t be bothered with you."

In her dreams, Maimai turned over, but her mind was unusually alert as if she’d taken a stimulant, and she couldn’t fall asleep. She picked up her phone and dialed his number, acting coy, "I’m insomniac again."

"Should I sing to you?" After two or three months of Maimai’s training, Sheng Sheng’s instinctive response to her saying she had insomnia was to keep her company with a chat or lullaby her to sleep.

The night was so quiet, and her work for tomorrow was scheduled leisurely. Sheng Sheng didn’t want to chat the night away and wanted to coax her to sleep directly.

Maimai lowered her voice, "I want you to hold me while I sleep."

"..."

Maimai bit her lip, listening intently, her face burning.

Lying in bed, Sheng Sheng couldn’t stop grinning, "Move in and sleep with me, I’ll hold you every night."

"Sure."

Sheng Sheng perked up, "I’m serious."

"I am too."

Sheng Sheng sat up instinctively, well-drilled. Checking the time, he said, "Pack some things; I’ll drive over to pick you up now. Actually, you don’t need to pack anything. I have clothes and toiletries here."

Maimai burst out laughing, "I’m just teasing you. Who would go over to your place to sleep in the middle of the night?"

"You rascal, how can you joke about such things? Do you know you almost gave me a heart attack? Women are so exasperating—teasing a man and then not following through."

"Tomorrow then."

"Hmm?"

"Let’s talk about it tomorrow," Maimai turned over with a tinkling laugh, "But isn’t your cousin living with you? It might be inconvenient for me to stay there."

Maimai spoke sourly. She couldn’t help it; she was vengeful by nature. Because of the call earlier in the day, she didn’t like his cousin!

"I’ll find her a place tomorrow and send her off. You can come over to sleep tomorrow night, it’s settled."

Maimai made a V hand gesture, mission accomplished. Successfully ousting his cousin, she was in great spirits.

"But your cousin will surely resent me," Maimai pretended to hesitate, "thinking it’s because of me that she got kicked out."

"The little girl wasn’t willing to stay at mine anyway; she’s a handful. There’s a villa in the suburbs. If I move her there tomorrow, she can invite her friends to stay over and will be overjoyed. Why would she resent you?" Sheng Sheng said, while in his mind, he imagined holding her and making merry every night, his whole body buzzing with excitement.
