Zuo Qinghuan felt a mix of sweetness and bitterness in her heart. She restrained the tears that threatened to escape, as she never liked shedding tears, especially not in front of Qin Wanshu. She nestled into Qin Wanshu's arms, pressing her face against Qin Wanshu's chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of her heart. Zuo Qinghuan was afraid she would never be willing to let go of such a warm embrace in this lifetime.
"Qin Wanshu, you're truly wonderful," Zuo Qinghuan's voice gently emanated from Qin Wanshu's chest.
"Go to sleep," Qin Wanshu touched Zuo Qinghuan's head softly and spoke tenderly.
"Mm," Zuo Qinghuan responded, gently rubbing her nose against Qin Wanshu's chest. Then, she found the most comfortable position, closed her eyes, and quickly drifted off to sleep, feeling a sense of security.
Qin Wanshu saw Zuo Qinghuan quiet down and then placed her hand on her back. Tired from the day, she too fell asleep shortly after.
In the morning, Qin Wanshu's usual punctual biological clock woke her up at the usual time. Opening her eyes, she discovered their bodies entangled in a subtle embrace. Zuo Qinghuan's head remained nestled on her chest, relying on her like a child. Touched by this sight, Qin Wanshu gently brushed aside Zuo Qinghuan's somewhat disheveled hair. Despite being long, Zuo Qinghuan's hair was in excellent condition, without any split ends and no traces of dyeing or perming—its texture resembling black silk, irresistibly smooth. Her delicate face exuded an otherworldly charm; in truth, it was only when Zuo Qinghuan was asleep that she truly resembled a little fairy, Qin Wanshu thought. Such a young and beautiful face – back when she hadn't yet developed feelings for Zuo Qinghuan, Qin Wanshu couldn't help but glance at this slender person, taking a second look. It's strange, considering the handsome men and beautiful women around her, she should have grown tired of such aesthetics by now. Or is it that Zuo Qinghuan's appearance uniquely resonated with her? Suddenly, Qin Wanshu became curious about how a woman with such features would be in matters of passion. Qin Wanshu's extremely rare curiosity was finally aroused.
As if sensing someone's gaze, Zuo Qinghuan's eyebrows and eyes twitched slightly. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, finding Qin Wanshu smiling at her. She smiled back, radiant like a lotus just blossoming in the morning, seemingly still carrying the freshness of dewdrops. Zuo Qinghuan felt that the happiest thing was waking up early and seeing Qin Wanshu's goddess-like smile, enough to brighten her mood for the entire day.
“Love, good morning. Shall we continue our affair?" Zuo Qinghuan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Sure enough, Zuo Qinghuan was successful in ruining the moment as soon as she opened her mouth. That innocent face coupled with those unserious words made Qin Wanshu want to shake her head.
Qin Wanshu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you worried about getting caught?"
"Qin Wanshu will arrange everything properly," Zuo Qinghuan said carelessly, leaning over Qin Wanshu and letting her fingers wander on her body. She believed that since Qin Wanshu dared to bring her to the room for a secret affair, she surely had the ability to send her away. Even if she stayed in Qin Wanshu's bedroom, keeping her bed warm might not be a bad idea.
Qin Wanshu always felt that being praised by others wasn't a good thing, and indeed, the pressure increased when Zuo Qinghuan held her in high regard. In reality, Qin Wanshu thought that inviting Zuo Qinghuan to stay overnight in her room yesterday had some irrational elements in it. With more people coming in and out of the Qin residence yesterday, having a disguised Zuo Qinghuan didn't attract much attention. However, it wouldn't be as easy for Zuo Qinghuan to leave today. As the saying goes, it's easier to invite gods than to send them away.
"We should get up now. I need to accompany my grandfather and the others for breakfast. Otherwise, the servants will come knocking. After I finish breakfast, I'll figure out a way to get you out." Qin Wanshu restrained Zuo Qinghuan's improper hand. The Qin family had a regular breakfast time, and she had the habit of eating breakfast on time. Skipping breakfast might make her grandfather think she wasn't feeling well, and he might send her cousin or a servant to check on her.
“Mm, you go have breakfast. I'll get up in a while." Zuo Qinghuan nodded. She knew how to prioritize things. In the Qin family, things were different, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Wanshu. The Qin family, being a big aristocratic family, had its own rules. Their relationship had to remain discreet. Even if Qin Wanshu was willing to do this for her, Zuo Qinghuan wouldn't want her to. Fortunately, Qin Wanshu always had a sense of propriety and wouldn't let emotions cloud her judgment.
"You can sleep a bit more. I'll bring breakfast for you later. I don't have a spare toothbrush, if you don't mind, you can use mine." After gently kissing Zuo Qinghuan's forehead, Qin Wanshu immediately got up, went into the bathroom, freshened up, changed into a new set of clothes, and then left the room.
Zuo Qinghuan intended to sleep a bit more, but after Qin Wanshu left, she found herself tossing and turning on Qin Wanshu's pillow. Unable to sleep, she decided to get up and walked into the bathroom. Her eyes caught Qin Wanshu's toothbrush, and she felt that using Qin Wanshu's shared toothbrush was an extremely intimate act. Considering Qin Wanshu's personality, she would never lend her toothbrush to anyone. Indeed, after last night, their relationship had become even closer. Thinking about this, Zuo Qinghuan smiled faintly; she enjoyed the close bond with Qin Wanshu.

"Grandpa, I want to move to Tianyu villa for a while." Qin Wanshu suddenly spoke, feeling that if she returned to the Qin family residence now, it would be challenging to find an excuse to move out later. It seemed better to take advantage of the divorce situation to make the move.
"Isn't living here just fine? Why move to Tianyu?" Even if Qin Wanshu wanted a divorce, Qin Zheng still hoped that she would stay in the main house to accompany him.
"I want to move to Tianyu. The environment there is good. I want to change the surroundings and my mood." Qin Wanshu expressed a hint of sadness, indicating to everyone that she wasn't indifferent to the divorce.
"That's fine. Move back when you feel better." Qin Zheng cared for Qin Wanshu. From childhood to adulthood, Qin Wanshu rarely made requests, but whenever she did, Qin Zheng would fulfill them. He felt even more disdain for Han Shibin, but at the same time, he hoped Qin Wanshu would calm down and abandon the idea of divorce. So far, Qin Zheng hadn't allowed the news of Qin Wanshu's intention to divorce to be made public. He hoped his granddaughter would eventually come to her senses, but if she persisted, he was prepared to go along with her. After all, his granddaughter's happiness was the most important.
“Mm." Qin Wanshu nodded obediently.
After breakfast, Qin Wanshu had the servants prepare a sandwich and a glass of milk, then quickly returned to her room.
"How do you plan to get me out?" Zuo Qinghuan asked while eating, now concerned about whether she could leave.
Qin Wanshu smiled without answering. Since this was caused by Shi Yunyang, it was only natural for her to resolve it. While speaking, she took out her phone and called Shi Yunyang, who was still sleeping.
Shi Yunyang answered the call with a grumpy voice. If it weren't for the fact that the caller was Qin Wanshu, Shi Yunyang would have never picked up.
"Miss, you know I'm still sleeping at this hour. What's the matter disturbing my sweet dreams?" Shi Yunyang complained with an annoyed tone.
"Come to the Qin residence later and make sure to discreetly send Zuo Qinghuan back without a hitch," Qin Wanshu casually instructed.

Another night of staying up...
I always tell myself not to stay up late. No, I must strictly adhere to it in the future...
