Chapter 1829: A Trap
Han Zhuoling was opening his luggage. When he saw Shi Xiaoya’s reaction, he then said, “Didn’t I tell you before? Before meeting you, work indeed came first in my heart. But after meeting you, work can only give way to you. You’re now the one who comes first. Of course I have to stay here and accompany my highest priority.”
“Why? You think I’m only saying this to sweet-talk you?” Han Zhuoling stopped what he was doing and stared at Shi Xiaoya dangerously.
How would Shi Xiaoya dare to admit it? She quickly shook her head and said, “Of course I believe you. It’s just that hearing it is one thing, but actually seeing you do it still makes me feel very shocked.”
Who knew if Han Zhuoling believed it or not? He took out the pajamas he’d brought along in the luggage.
“Throw my pajamas into your washing machine to wash as well,” Han Zhuoling said.
His other clothes could not be machine washed, or else he would have left it all with Shi Xiaoya.
Shi Xiaoya did not think too much about it. She did not really understand why Han Zhuoling would take out just two pieces of pajamas and ask her to wash them now.
She still nodded and took Han Zhuoling’s pajamas and threw them into the washing machine.
After that, she heard Han Zhuoling say, “Once they’re done being washed, you can just keep them with you.”
Shi Xiaoya: “...”
If she still did not understand what Han Zhuoling meant now, she would be a fool!
This man, he actually had not given up on the thought of moving in with her. He was talking in a roundabout way and slowly moving his things into her house.
As Shi Xiaoya thought about that, suddenly, her gaze landed on the slippers that Han Zhuoling was wearing.
A flash of light crossed her mind. Just when she was about to grab it, her thoughts were disrupted by the sound of her phone ringing.
She had placed her phone on the coffee table earlier on. Han Zhuoling glanced at the screen and saw the name displayed as “Brother.”
It was a call from Shi Nancang.
Shi Xiaoya answered it. “Brother.”
“Xiaoya, have you reached home?” Shi Nancang asked.
He knew roughly what time Shi Xiaoya would be back.
“Yeah, I just reached home. I’m still unpacking my stuff.” Shi Xiaoya thought to herself that Shi Nancang could not possibly want to come over.
Shi Xiaoya turned to look at Han Zhuoling nervously.
“Are you going to order takeout again tonight?” Shi Nancang asked.
“Er...” Shi Xiaoya hesitated to answer.
She was so tired after coming back. She really did not have the strength to personally prepare dinner.
She was intending to go out for a meal at a restaurant with Han Zhuoling or order in takeouts.
Shi Xiaoya hesitated, and Shi Nancang thought that he was right.
“It’s almost about time now anyway. You’ll make it in time if you leave the house now,” Shi Nancang said. “I booked a room at Sheng Yue. When you come over, we can eat together.”
The house was very quiet. As she was talking to Shi Nancang, even Han Zhuoling did not make a sound.
Shi Nancang’s voice rang out from the phone just like that.
Han Zhuoling raised his eyebrow.
He even wanted to eat alone with Shi Xiaoya.
It was fine even if they ordered in takeout.
With only him and Shi Xiaoya around, it would be good if they can stay at home alone peacefully.
Just because of this, he even forsook going to work.
Yet now, Shi Nancang wanted to ask Shi Xiaoya to go for dinner?
Shi Xiaoya said, “Brother, I just came back. Filming for the show these past two days was really tiring. And I had been traveling for almost the whole day today. I’m really too tired to go out.”
“I see...” Shi Nancang wanted to change his mind the moment he heard that.
Yet just when he was about to speak, Shen Shi’an kicked him.
Shi Nancang glared at him and Shen Shi’an quickly clasped his palms together to plead with him.
Shi Nancang could only say, “How about I go and fetch you? I’ll send you home right after dinner.”
Shi Xiaoya felt that something was amiss. “Brother, what exactly is it? Why do you insist that I have to go? Did something happen?
