9.A warm embrace

He put his arm around her delicate shoulder and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

"Okay. Good night." Su Ci softly said good night to him.

...

Su Ci thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep, but when she opened her eyes the next day, it was already six o'clock in the morning. Su Xue had told her that she had to get out before six o'clock and not sleep for even an extra minute! She was late!

Su Ci moved, trying to get up, but she found that she was still sleeping in Fu Nancheng's arms. The man's strong arm was wrapped around her slender waist, and the two of them were snuggling closely together.

Su Ci's eyelashes fluttered, and she carefully backed out of his arms. But as soon as she moved, Fu Nancheng woke up. The man's voice was filled with the drowsiness and laziness of just waking up. He tightened his arm and hugged her even more tightly in his arms. "Why are you awake so early? Stay with me and sleep a little longer."

He had always been tortured by insomnia. He didn't expect that he could sleep so well while holding her. She was soft and fragrant like jade in his arms, and he wanted to hold her and sleep for a while longer.

Su Ci didn't dare to sleep any longer. She could feel that Su Xue was already waiting outside the door with a fierce look. "I'll get up first. You can sleep a bit more. I have to do the housework."

Fu Nancheng closed his eyes and hooked the corner of his lips. "Aren't there enough maids in the house? Do you, the young mistress, still have to do it yourself?"

He had always thought she was Su Xue, but she wasn't.

"I really have to get up." Su Ci broke free from him and sat up.

As she withdrew from his arms, Fu Nancheng also lost all his sleepiness. He slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes had regained clarity. He looked at the slender figure. She quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed, and left the room.

Fu Nancheng furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. He didn't understand why she left so quickly, as if she was in a hurry. She even refused to stay with him and sleep a little longer.

...

When Su Ci put the scar back on her face and came out, she saw Su Xue with a gloomy face. Su Xue pointed at the time and scolded, "Su Ci, it's already five past six. Why did you sleep with my husband for an extra five minutes? Is my husband's embrace so warm that you're reluctant to leave?"

Su Ci seemed to have been hit right on the mark. In fact, she usually got up very early and was never a person who liked to sleep in. But Fu Nancheng's embrace was broad and warm. This morning, she had clung to him like an octopus.

"Since you don't trust me so much, then don't let me sleep with your husband next time."

"…" Su Xue was almost exploding with anger. She hadn't slept all night last night. Just thinking about Su Ci lying in her husband's arms made her insanely jealous. But she had something more important to do. "What perfume are you wearing? Hand over the perfume."

Perfume? Why did both Fu Nancheng and Su Xue ask her what perfume she was wearing? Su Ci raised her slender eyebrows and took out a bottle of perfume. "Here you are."

Su Xue's pupils shrank. It turned out to be a CC perfume! CC is a top international luxury perfume and skincare brand. They say that you can tell a woman by her scent, and the fragrance of CC perfume can bewitch people's hearts. It's known as the "straight man killer", and there's no man who doesn't love its smell.

CC launches its limited-edition perfume every quarter. Every time this happens, the noble ladies and socialites in Yecheng will rush to buy it. They would even fight tooth and nail to get a bottle of CC perfume.

The bottle of perfume that Su Ci took out was the limited-edition "Spring Encounter" of this quarter from CC. She had begged her mother for a long time but still couldn't get a bottle. But Su Ci actually took out a bottle so easily.

"Su Ci, how did you get this CC perfume?"
