His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 - Compromise

The two of them cuddled. The flowing sound of water from the wall-mounted waterfall fountain was slowly lulling them to sleep.

Jin Liwei reached over to switch off the lights, so that the dim golden lights from the fountain were the only illumination remaining in the dark bedroom. For the entire time during his business trip, he was looking forward to making love with his Xiulan for the first time. But now that they reunited, life threw a sh*tty curveball.

Of course, he could seduce her into making love right now, but both of them weren’t in their peak conditions. She was still recovering from her recent health scare, while he was still suffering from the lingering effects of jet lag. This was not the ideal time to make love. He wanted their first times to be special for both of them.

He didn’t want exhaustion to spoil their eventual lovemaking. That was why he needed to wait until both of them were recovered and full of vigour again.

"Liwei?"

He was about to fall asleep when her lovely voice called for him. "Mmn...what is it, baby?"

"Please don’t think badly of Yi Mei after the things she said about you earlier. She was just acting out of concern for me."

He stroked her head, running his fingers through her long, silky hair.

"She’s not unreasonable," she continued. "I don’t think she’ll try to attack you again. Both of you are important to me. I don’t want you to fight."

"I understand. Don’t worry about it," he said, kissing her head and pulling her waist for a closer cuddle.

"Thank you, Liwei."

"I would like to hear you call me ’darling’ more."

"I still think it sounds stupid."

He chuckled. "But I hope you get used to it soon."

She was silent for a few moments before replying, "I’ll try."

His hand continued stroking her hair before gradually slowing down. His eyes drooped close.

"Liwei?"

No answer.

"Are you asleep? Liwei...darling?"

"Hm?" The ’darling’ pulled him out of near-slumber. "Baby?"

"Oh, it’s okay. Go back to sleep. We’ll talk about it another day."

It sounded like she wanted to talk about something important, so he forced himself to stay awake. "It’s fine. Tell me."

"I want to say that I don’t like that you just decided to send your subordinates to guard me without speaking to me about it first."

He frowned. "You mean the escort I arranged for you earlier today?"

She nodded.

He sighed. "Baby, there were a lot of reporters and snoopers milling around the hospital area. All of them came for you. Yes, there were police officers patrolling but their only job was to prevent them from entering the hospital building, not drive them completely away from the area. If I didn’t arrange the escort beforehand to slip you out of the hospital secretly, they would’ve swarmed like locusts the moment they saw you. I sent my subordinates to ensure your safety."

"I know!" She disentangled herself from his embrace and sat up, looking down at him. Her expression clearly showed frustration. "But Liwei! You didn’t have to send so many people just to guard me. Why do you have to send an...an army to guard one person?"
