And that night passed without incident.
...
The next day.
Qiao Xi had not yet woken up when she first heard Beibei's talking and her knocking at the door outside.
"Sister Xi, aren't you up yet?"
"It's about time."
Shen Dang flung the covers off.
The moment Qiao Xi opened her eyes and saw his movement, she immediately said, "What are you doing?"
Shen Dang's handsome face held a hint of confusion and impatience, "I'm opening the door for your assistant."
Qiao Xi glared at him, "You're going to open the door like that?"
Shen Dang's gaze fell downwards, taking in his current state.
"I'll go, you stay put, and don't come out from under the covers."
Qiao Xi opened the door for Beibei, who was leaning on the doorframe, "I'm up, just give me a few minutes."
"Sister Xi, I have something to tell you—"
She unconsciously started to step inside but was blocked by Qiao Xi.
Beibei paused, as if she'd realized something, and whispered quietly, "Is Brother-in-law here?"
