Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
When Lu Hualiang returned, he saw Xia Weibao leaning against the headboard, her head tilted, sound asleep.
The phone in her hand had slipped onto the blanket.
This sleeping position made him feel a pang of heartache.
He tread lightly over to her, wanting to lay her flat.
But as soon as he touched her hand, Xia Weibao woke up.
In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Hualiang's face.
She smiled slightly, but she was too tired, making the smile seem a bit weak.
"Hubby, you're back."
She spoke, picked up her phone to check the time, and it was already half-past three in the morning!
"Why so late?" Xia Weibao was somewhat displeased; no matter how busy, he shouldn't go without sleep.
"There were some things to deal with. Why aren't you lying down to sleep?"
"I was waiting for you."
Lu Hualiang felt a wave of heartache, "Waiting for me to do what? Didn't I tell you that I'd be back late these days, for you to sleep first?"
"I missed you."
