The next day, Long Jinjing woke up naturally. She turned her body and reached her arm to the other side of the bed but found the space empty. Her eyes opened and saw that she was alone in the bedroom. The bedroom was dark but she could see bright sunlight streaming through the corners of the black-out curtains. She stretched her body like a cat on the bed before she froze upon realizing something.
"Oh no!"
She sat up in a panic and looked at the bedside clock. 11:36 AM.
"I'm late for work!"
She almost fell down from the bed in her hurry to get up. Fortunately, she was able to right her balance before tumbling down to the floor but her posture was still unsightly with one leg still on the bed tangled with the duvet. The bedroom door opened.
"What the hell are you doing, woman?!" Lu Zihao roared while hurrying to help her up. "Don't you know how to be careful?! You're pregnant, for fuck's sake!"
