Chapter 1264: Chapter 1263: Insomnia Chapter 1264: Chapter 1263: Insomnia Zhou Shengting adjusted his posture, leaning his back against the sofa, with his distinct and slender fingers resting on his temple, his gaze fixed on the documents.
Bai Lan leaned close to him.
Out of the corner of her eye, Bai Lan noticed a trace of fatigue knitting Zhou Shengting's brow. After hesitating for a moment in her heart, she finally turned around and reminded him, “Work is important, but your health is even more critical…”
“Hmm…” While reading the documents, Zhou Shengting stroked her hair.
Bai Lan realized that when she was around, she was more distracting to his work.
So, she sat up, “If the documents can wait until tomorrow, then you should rest earlier.”
Then she got up and went back to the room.
Turning off the bedside lamp, Bai Lan tried to let herself fall asleep, but after tossing and turning, she eventually opened her eyes again.
She didn't know why, but she just couldn't sleep.
The moment she closed her eyes, memories of her time with Zhou Shengting would fill her mind, including the years they spent apart–it had been really tough.
Those fragments kept appearing in her mind.
“Am I disturbing your sleep?” Because her movements were quite noticeable, it was natural to disturb him as well.
Zhou Shengting's voice suddenly reached Bai Lan's ears.
She looked at Zhou Shengting in surprise; he had noticed her restlessness earlier, and without knowing when, he had come to her side. At this moment, he had put away the documents, and his deep gaze settled on her, lying in bed.
Bai Lan sat up in bed, avoiding his gaze; she leaned gently against the headboard and shook her head, “It's okay; you're not disturbing me. It's just something with me… I occasionally suffer from insomnia.”
Bai Lan, worried about affecting his work progress, didn't tell him that she couldn't sleep because of the night's events.
Publicly disclosing their relationship would probably mean their lives wouldn't be so calm anymore.
After all, his status was well known.
Despite Bai Lan's response, Zhou Shengting still sat down beside the bed.
A cool and pleasant scent wafted from him.
“Are you troubled? You can talk to me about it; I'll help you share the burden.” Zhou Shengting had already sat down at the edge of the bed and asked in a soft voice.
Face to face, Bai Lan could no longer avoid his gaze. Finally, she looked up at him and said, “It's nothing, just that I seem to have messed up tonight. Mom looked very angry.”
This was also why she was feeling low-spirited that night.
She had wanted to make a good impression, but things had turned out awkwardly, even worse than expected.
With Mother Zhou's prideful nature, this incident would likely nag at her for a long time.
She knew Zhou Shengting's eyes seemed to penetrate the soul, his deep gaze as if probing her thoughts, so she had no choice but to come clean with him first.
Hearing her, Zhou Shengting let out a gentle sigh; his silly wife.
Actually, it was such a trivial matter, not worth fretting over at all. He knew his mother's character firsthand; why bother taking her seriously?
He raised his hand to touch her head, then spoke with a hint of helplessness, “Silly girl, it was an accident. As long as you're fine, I couldn't be more grateful. Let the past be the past; don't dwell on it anymore.”
Zhou Shengting began to wonder if pregnant people were all this anxious, thinking so pessimistically.
Because Bai Lan wasn't like this before; at least, she wouldn't normally be so hung up over something like this.
