Chapter 716 Bird“s nes

Morning came to Imperial as rays of sunlight entered the windows of Yue Ling and Lu Tian's bedroom. Laid asleep on the king-size bed, Yue Ling doesn't open her eyes right away but stretch her arms and legs as she sounds a soft moan.

A satisfied smile curls on her lips as she felt she had a good night's sleep.

Forgetting that she was no longer living alone, she kicks off her blanket with one leg like a child.

"That was the best sleep ever."

She sighs with a smile and slowly opens her eyes. However, realization dawn on her, and she abruptly flung open her eyes.

How could she forget about Lu Tian?

Her left arm stretches outward and she pats the space next to her. Unable to feel anything, she turns her head only to see that the aloof man was nowhere in sight.

She furrows her brows then glances down at herself. Seeing that she was wearing her sleeping clothes, she sighs in relief.

In the past when she drinks beyond her limits, she would come home and go straight to bed. Her body is too tired, and she is too lazy to change out of her clothes.

Not only that, since she is wearing clothes, this means she didn't turn into a drunk and wild kitten who had taken advantage of Lu Tian.

However, thinking about this, her frown deepens, and she murmurs to herself.

"Did I change myself?"

Her words fell as she casually sat up. She subconsciously glances in the direction of the foot of the bed and her jaw slowly drops as she raises one hand to cover her opened mouth.

Across the foot of the bed, the almighty Lu Tian sat in a light grey accent chair with one leg crossed over the other in a four-figure. In his right hand was a piece of his work document while a tablet settled on his lap.

His dark eyes were not focused on either item but glued to her. It was as if he was calmly observing her movements.

"Good morning."

The deepness of his voice was seductive and one that can melt a woman's heart, but it made Yue Ling's widen like she was hearing something horrifying.

She robotically nods her head in a silent greeting. She didn't dare to say a word because she knew that he had seen all of her movements.

Lu Tia gazes straight at her with his usual stern expression. He calmly places the document and tablet down on a side table that was set up next to the chair he sat.

He rises from his seat and walks over to sit on the edge of the bed near her figure.

"Seems like you had a good night's sleep."

Yue Ling didn't know how to respond at all. She had woken up and forgot about his existence for a quick second. What kind of fiancé is she?

Seeing how much of a daze she is still in, Lu Tian wanted to smile, but force himself back. His right-hand reach to her and caress the side of her head.

"I already made breakfast. Go freshen up then come downstairs."

He leans forward and softly kiss her forehead then stood up from the bed to leave.

Yue Ling felt like an android who was powered on for the very first time. Her head turns as it follows his every move until he disappears out the door.

After a long moment of silence, her body goes soft and she slumps back onto the bed.

"Why did he look at me like that?"

She turns her head to look at the door with pouting lips. Something inside was telling her that he was trying so hard not to laugh or tease her, but why?

However, unable to think of an answer, she glances at the window.

The bright light that was entering inside the room shot a faint pounding sensation inside her head and cause her to groan in pain. The feeling was like hundred of tiny needles prickling her brain.

"Why am having a hangover? Just how much did I drink last night?"

She sounds a faint groan again. She had woken up feeling relaxed, so she assumed she would be fine.

However, who would have thought that after sitting up and falling back onto the bed, she would feel a wave of severe headache.

Forcing herself to climb out of bed, she groggily makes her way to the lavatory. She didn't forget to hold onto the wall for support as she continuously massages her forehead.

"I'm never drinking again. Never."

She pushes the lavatory door open and walks inside to freshen up as she needed to go to work.

Upon entering, she makes her way to the shower to turn the water on. As she passes the sink, she glances at the mirror and seeing her reflection, her entire being stiffened in place.

"Oh my God…"

Her jaw drops to the floor and she brings her trembling hands up. Holding her cheeks, her expression turns into one of pure horror.

"How could he kiss me like this? Is this why he was trying not to laugh?"

Her once wavy and long hair was so disheveled it was identical to a bird's nest. Even she wouldn't be surprised if a bird were to suddenly fly out from her hair.

And like that was not enough, her face…

She had black smudges under her eyes due to the mascara and eyeliner she was too drunk to remove. The lipstick she wore yesterday was also smeared all around her lip making her look like a clown.

As she stares in disbelief at her reflection, she thought back to how she woke up and met Lu Tian's eyes.

"Ahh… Ahhh—!!"

Her hands move to cover her face and she screams at the top of her lungs. At times like this, she wishes so badly for a hole to magically appear so she can hide in it.

She pokes her eyes out through the gaps of her fingers and seeing her horrible reflection again, her shoulders tremble uncontrollably.

'Why? Why? Why?'

Her eyes close and she sobs without tears as she wishes she could just faint like in the dramas she has seen.

While Yue Ling tries to question her embarrassment, Lu Tian was in the kitchen heating the light breakfast he had prepared for her.

He scoops the congee into a bowl and carries it to the dining table. When he heard her scream that echoed inside the house, he didn't panic and rush to check on her.

Instead, he pauses in his movements for a quick second then continues to the table. He didn't need to go to her because he already knew why she was screaming.

The corners of his lip arc up and reveals his teeth as he chuckles. He places the bowl of congee down and walks back to the kitchen counter.

After their star gazing moment, he had carried her back inside since she fell asleep. He had hanged her clothes and wanted to get a warm towel to clean her a bit, but before he could make a move, she had wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in bed.

She hugged him with so tightly that even he was surprised by her strength. He was sure that if she wanted to, she could easily knock him out cold with one punch.

However, knowing that she is drunk and not wanting to die himself, he decides to let her do whatever she wanted.

There were even a few times when he was jolted awake in the middle of the night because she was constantly tossing and turning. He had been hit a few times too, but it wasn't too painful, so he just waited until she had found a comfortable sleeping position then tucked her back in bed.

The only thing was, he didn't expect her to wake up looking like a circus clown with a bird's nest on top of her head.

Of course, this didn't make his feelings for her waver. It was more like a surprise for him to see this side of his wife.

Thinking about what happened last night and her reaction when she woke up, Lu Tian finished setting the table.

He looks in the direction of the stairs and a soft smile curls on his lips.

"Should I keep pretending that I didn't see anything, or should I tease her a little?"
