CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 353: HIS SCHEMES

Li Tingyan looked at Nianyang’s awkwardly blushing face and knew that she was thinking about that night they had shared a bed in the county.

Thinking back, he had indeed gone too far that morning, coaxing her into alleviating him, no wonder she now feared being alone with him, which was not a good sign.

Li Tingyan’s dark eyes shifted, and he didn’t mention anything about Nianyang sleeping with him, instead, he reached out and grabbed the pillow and quilt from her hands.

"How could I let my woman sleep on the sofa? You sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the sofa."

Nianyang was stunned, "But you’re so big, I’m afraid the sofa won’t fit you..."

Li Tingyan thought to himself this was exactly the effect he was going for, and he went straight to the sofa, lay down, curled his legs, and said, "See, it fits."

Nianyang watched this big man constrained on the sofa, feeling somewhat reluctant, but knowing it was impossible for him to give up his spot on the bed, so she said no more and slowly got into bed.

"Wifey, I’m turning off the lights."

"Okay..."

The room went dark, Nianyang lay in the soft bedding, the mattress beneath her was newly bought, making it particularly comfortable, yet she couldn’t fall asleep.

Because she thought about her man sleeping on the hard sofa, in the cold weather, without heating, how uncomfortable must it be for his tall frame to be hunched up?

Moreover, Li Tingyan had to go to work early the next morning, they often had to go out to sea, facing many dangers, so the company had set up a training base. When not out at sea, all sailors had to go to the base for physical training and to learn emergency measures.

It’s very demanding, and he only gets to sleep four or five hours a day, what if he sleeps on the sofa and feels uncomfortable all day tomorrow?

And with the temperature so low at night, what if he catches a cold from sleeping?

Oh, one must admit that the saying love makes people dumber is true; Nianyang completely forgot that her man was a tough, iron-willed man!

During brief stops in stormy weather, he’d slept on anything from a sofa to a stone pit, a concrete floor, even tree branches, and had even soaked underwater in special situations, so how could he be so fragile as to catch a cold?

The more she thought, the more uneasy she felt, that her man was suffering on the sofa to accommodate her, while she lay comfortably in bed?

Is this something anyone could do?

Nianyang sat up stealthily in the dark, looking towards the sofa, "Ah Yan, um, the sofa is too small, you’re uncomfortable sleeping there, come sleep on the bed..."

Li Tingyan was silently counting when his wife would relent, and just as he counted to one, he heard her words, his sharp black eyes glinting with a victorious smile in the dark.

He knew it, he knew she’d feel sorry for him, she couldn’t possibly leave him alone, and he had someone who cherished him.

Li Tingyan sat up, his voice deep, "But we’re not married yet, do you mind?"

Nianyang’s voice was small, "We’re going to get married and sleep together eventually, let’s just consider it early adaptation."

"Since you said so, then I’ll come up."

The man’s presence was overwhelming, and Nianyang quickly curled up in the blanket with her back to him, feeling the spot beside her sink significantly, her heart tightened slightly.

Though this wasn’t their first time sharing a bed, why did Nianyang find it so exhilarating?

Perhaps it was because this was truly their shared home?

"Wifey, this bed is really soft..."

Li Tingyan said softly, immediately extending his long arm to pull his curled-up little wife into his embrace from behind.
