Chapter 373: Chapter 371: Separate Rooms to Sleep? I’m Lonely

"Disappeared?"

Chu Yan furrowed his brows, "The hospital has surveillance footage, didn’t it capture anything?"

"Nothing was captured, and the surveillance in the patient’s room even experienced a brief malfunction. By the time the footage returned to normal, the AIDS patient had vanished."

"Has the patient’s family not been contacted yet?"

"No, his household registration is from out of town."

Chu Yan had originally planned to use the Soul Searching Technique to find out who was behind this, but he hadn’t learned the Soul Searching Technique yet, and suddenly the patient disappeared.

Moreover, the process of disappearing was very strange.

He made a phone call to Qi Ling, asking Qi Ling to use unconventional methods to investigate the whereabouts of the patient.

The patient hadn’t woken up yet, so his sudden disappearance definitely meant someone had taken him away.

It was probably because the person behind it discovered he was still alive, so he was taken out of the hospital.

After hanging up the call, a hint of darkness flashed through his cold, deep eyes.

He wanted to see who dared to plot against him behind his back!

"Chu Yan."

Hearing Qin Zhao call him, Chu Yan came back to his senses and looked over at her.

Qin Zhao was standing at the bedroom door, having just come out from a bath, wearing a newly bought nightgown.

The light purple silk material clung almost to her graceful body, accentuating her particularly slender waist, and only reached her thighs, her long, fair legs appeared delicate.

Her hair was still somewhat damp, with slight droplets falling onto the nightgown, making the thin nightgown somewhat transparent.

This nightgown was previously purchased by Chu Yan, but Qin Zhao had never worn it.

Feeling him staring blankly, Qin Zhao hooked her lips, "Are you still sleeping in the guest room today?"

His handsome, cold face was expressionless, but the fingers hanging at his side involuntarily moved, itching to step forward, grab her slim waist, and carry her back to the room for this and that!

Thinking of the AIDS issue, it felt like a bucket of cold water cooled him down.

"..."

It wasn’t a matter of whether he wanted to sleep there or not!

He was ill, how could he sleep with Qin Zhao!

Chu Yan pursed his lips, silently staring at her.

His gaze almost glued to her body, he finally said with difficulty, "I should still sleep in the guest room."

"Okay," Qin Zhao said, her face showing loss and regret, "I’ve gotten used to sleeping with you, and these few days you’ve been in the guest room, I’ve felt a bit unaccustomed."

Hearing this, Chu Yan suddenly stepped forward.

He pinned her against the door frame, his eyes growing darker, "Qin Zhao, are you seducing me?"

Qin Zhao blinked, her face innocent, "Am I?"

Her expression, coupled with the thin, light purple nightgown, just really made one want to bully her. Chu Yan’s mind was already filled with various images of him bullying her.

"I just thought the dress you bought looked pretty, so I tried it on today."

"Then why do you absolutely refuse to wear it normally? Why choose this time to try it!"

"What’s wrong with this time? Are you having your period?"

"..."

Qin Zhao’s eyes carried a hint of teasing; she was doing it on purpose.

Because Qin Zhao knew Chu Yan wouldn’t touch her, she deliberately chose this time to wear the nightgown he bought. If he touched her, she would definitely kindly remind him about the AIDS issue.

Chu Yan didn’t speak and took a deep breath.

Clearly infuriated, but he could only swallow his anger.

Once he got better, he was going to make Qin Zhao wear this dress every day!

She wouldn’t be allowed to take it off until she got pregnant!

o(▼皿▼メ;)o

With a loud bang, Chu Yan angrily returned to the guest room.

"Hahaha."

Qin Zhao returned to her room and rolled around on her bed, laughing heartily.

"Chu Yan!" she loudly called out to him again, "Are you really not going to sleep with me tonight? I feel so lonely sleeping alone!"

There was no response from the next room, so Qin Zhao sighed and said, "It’s been so long since I last slept in your arms, I really miss your six-pack abs.

You always sleep in a separate room, when will we ever have children?"

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, and Chu Yan came over with a pillow in his arms.

His handsome face was cold as he tossed the pillow onto her bed.

Standing at the bedside, Chu Yan slowly began to unbutton his shirt.

Qin Zhao’s expression froze, and she quickly got up from the bed.

Damn, this guy can’t be serious, right?

Just as she was about to remind Chu Yan that the results of his HIV test hadn’t come back and that he shouldn’t harm her, Chu Yan grabbed her hand and pressed it against his abs.

"Feel it."

After saying this, he looked around the area below her collarbone.

Chu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, but his face remained expressionless, resembling a chaste and resolute man, "You can touch this once, tonight sleep holding my pillow, just pretend the pillow is me!"

Qin Zhao touched it several times, her cheeks turning a bit red.

He buttoned up his shirt and turned to leave.

"..."

Qin Zhao watched his retreating figure, and when she went to the door, she even held onto the door frame, clearly unsettled, as she tried hard to suppress something, and she silently laughed even more wildly.

Chu Yan turned back to look at her, and Qin Zhao returned to showing a longing expression.

"Can’t you take a leave tomorrow?"

"I can’t, there’s a lot going on at the hospital."

Qin Zhao, heartbroken, said, "You used to take long vacations to come see me when you were pursuing me. It seems the love has faded, you’re tired of me, aren’t you?"

"Not at all, I’ve just really been busy!"

Chu Yan tried hard to explain, worried Qin Zhao might misunderstand him.

He felt somewhat pleased, realizing for the first time how much Qin Zhao cared about him!

A sudden idea struck Chu Yan, "If you’re really feeling this lonely and want me to keep you company, how about this, I’ll go down to the supermarket and buy a box of condoms."

"!!!"

Oops, that was a close call!

She quickly told him, "I’m just complaining, don’t take it to heart! You’re so busy every day, you should rest well! If you work yourself to exhaustion, I’ll worry!

Plus, we never needed those before, I don’t like them!"

Chu Yan thought about it and saw the logic, deciding it’s best to keep his distance from Qin Zhao.

He returned to his guest room, and Qin Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She snuggled into her warm bed, ready to have a good night’s sleep.

These past few days without Chu Yan by her side, her sleep quality had improved tremendously, and she felt especially energized!

Previously, when sharing a room with him, she’d always been tormented.

She wasn’t averse to those activities, but moderation was key.

Yet, Chu Yan had a tendency to be overzealous and excessive.

Sleeping alone meant no one disturbed her at night, allowing her to do whatever she wanted, whether playing video games all night, cultivating, or practicing Alchemy—the freedom was exhilarating.

Ding-dong—a message popped up on her phone.

Qin Zhao picked it up to find that Mrs. Shen, the mother of Shen Xihe, had sent her a message.

The specific content involved a request for her to help, looking at fortune-telling and marriage matters, for a fee.

Mrs. Shen offered 500,000 yuan; having resolved the issue of the Taohua Fairy for Shen Xihe previously, Mrs. Shen now treated her with great regard, seeing her as a wise sage.

500,000 yuan for a consultation on fortune and marriage seemed a great deal.

Qin Zhao agreed.

It’s foolish not to earn money when you can.

If the client’s fortune was amiss and needed additional services to rectify it, she could make even more money!
