Huo Yunting glanced at her, sat on a chair in the dining room, and ate breakfast quietly.

In the following days, Xia Chuwei would get up early every day, prepare breakfast for Huo Yunting, and cook herself in the evening, trying her best to be a qualified and virtuous wife.

On this day, Huo Yunting worked overtime until very late. When he got home, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Huo Yunting unexpectedly discovered that the bedroom light was still on.

Xia Chuwei's routine is that she usually falls asleep on time at half past ten.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xia Chuwei, who was sitting on the bedside reading a book, raised her head and smiled at the returning man.

"You're back."

Huo Yunting looked at her, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Wait for you."

"Didn't I ask you to sleep first?"

When Huo Yunting cannot go home for dinner, he will tell Xia Chuwei in advance so that she does not have to wait for him to eat.

He knew that he would work overtime until late today, so he told Xia Chuwei in advance and asked her to go to bed first.

The clear and warm wall lamp shines with a faint light, and the woman's pretty and quiet face has an indescribable tenderness under such warm-toned light.

Under such light, even her voice became a little softer.

"You didn't say you didn't want to come back, so I want to wait until you come back before sleeping."

Huo Yunting slowly took off his coat and said calmly: "I may work overtime every day recently. You don't have to wait for me in the future. You can go to bed first."

"It's okay, I want to wait for you."

Huo Yunting's movements paused for a moment, "Don't you take a break as soon as the time comes? Are you not sleepy after waiting for me for so long?"

Xia Chuwei's voice came from behind, "Just read a book and do other things. Besides, it is only natural for a wife to wait for her husband who has not yet come home. I don't want you to open the door of the room and see

All we got when we arrived was a deserted and dark room, which felt very bad.”

He rarely went home in the past. It was indeed a bit deserted for Xia Chuwei to live alone in such a large villa.

Every time when she comes back late, facing the darkness and emptiness of the villa, does she feel... lonely?

Huo Yunting actually rarely thinks about such things, but for some reason, this idea came to him.

Huo Yunting originally had some work to do in the study, but seeing Xia Chuwei waiting for her so late, he didn't leave. Instead, he took a shower and then lay down.

In the days that followed, as Huo Yunting said, he was very busy. He left early and came back late every day, and he could not come back until after twelve o'clock in the evening.

Xia Chuwei waits for him every day, but sometimes, she accidentally falls asleep while waiting.

Sometimes, Huo Yunting came back too late and she couldn't stay up that long, so she would leave a small light for Huo Yunting.

...

Time is like running water, and a month has passed quickly.

The night was as dark as ink, and everything was quiet.

While sleeping, Xia Chuwei suddenly heard heavy and disordered breathing.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly and she opened her eyes.

She discovered that the sound came from beside her.

Xia Chuwei frowned and turned on the bedside lamp.

The dim light of the desk lamp dissipated a little of the darkness.

The man's heroic eyebrows were furrowed tightly, a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and a hint of pain appeared on his handsome face.

Xia Chuwei was startled, "Huo Yunting, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Yunting slowly opened his eyes, his deep voice becoming hoarse due to pain.

"Woke you up?"

Xia Chuwei's hand probed towards the man's forehead.

"What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"

"No, I just have a stomachache."

Huo Yunting had a serious stomach problem, and it was Mrs. Lin who told her.

Therefore, when cooking, Xia Chuwei will try to avoid spicy food.
