Chapter 269: Chapter 192: You Sll of Perfu_4
“I said I…”
Chen Cheng’s words seed to jam, unclear and muffled. He struggled to get up, but it was as if he had been cast with an immobilization spell, futilely moving his body before collapsing weakly back down.
“Hey, don’t move, lie still.” Seeing this, Xiao ier hurriedly pressed down on him, soothing him.
“Let introduce, Xiao ier, Chen Cheng’s wife.” Chen Cheng finally completed the latter half of his sentence, but his voice was much softer, as if he were talking to himself.
Xiao ier, upon hearing this and recalling the day she went to pick up Chen Cheng and his announcent to everyone, couldn’t help but smile.
“Really, I can’t do anything with you, drinking so much. Do you feel good?”
She stood up to pour a cup of warm water and brought over a hot towel, carefully wiping Chen Cheng’s face and hands.
“Water…” Chen Cheng felt the warm touch on his face and mumbled drowsily.
Seeing this, Xiao ier quickly brought the cup to his lips, whispering, “Here’s the water, drink slowly.”
Chen Cheng drank the water in small sips, guided by Xiao ier’s hand.
After having a few sips, he let out a comfortable sigh and snuggled into Xiao ier’s embrace.
Xiao ier looked at Chen Cheng in this state, feeling a mixture of emotions.
To outsiders, he was the all-powerful Mr. Chen, like a majestic mountain that could only be looked up to.
But at this mont, he was like a child, in need of her care and protection, which stirred up endless tenderness in Xiao ier’s heart.
“Go to sleep, you’ll feel better when you wake up.”
Xiao ier held Chen Cheng, allowing him to rest on her thighs, gently patting his arm.
However, soon, Chen Cheng’s feigned sleep was interrupted by the sound of a ringing phone.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The urgent ringtone seed particularly jarring in the quiet room.
Chen Cheng really didn’t dare to move now, Xiao ier picked up the phone from the coffee table, glanced at the caller ID, it was Wen Shulin.
“Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng?” she tentatively called out twice.
Chen Cheng slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the screen, and seeing it was Wen Shulin calling, he was caught between answering it or not.
But he knew that Wen Shulin calling at this ti would definitely be about the scandal.
So, he changed position and continued to feign sleep on Xiao ier’s ample thighs.
Seeing that Chen Cheng had no intention of answering, Xiao ier originally wanted to hang up.
But then she thought, Wen Shulin calling so late, there might be sothing urgent, so she answered the call.
“Hello?”
The previously excited Wen Shulin on the other end also paused for a second, then cald down, “Xiao Er, is Mr. Chen there?”
Xiao ier glanced at the “soundly sleeping” Chen Cheng, and said in a lowered voice, “He’s drunk too much, just fell asleep.”
“Drunk too much?”
Wen Shulin imdiately caught on.
Xiao ier asked, “Is sothing the matter, Sister Lin?”
“It’s nothing much. Well, Xiao Er, let him give a call back when he wakes up tomorrow,” Wen Shulin said.
“Okay, I understand,” Xiao ier replied.
“You should get so rest early too, Xiao Er.”
Xiao ier humd in acknowledgnt, “Goodnight, Sister Lin.”
After hanging up the call, Xiao ier put down the phone and muttered, “What could be so urgent this late?”
She looked at Chen Cheng, who was sleeping deeply, breathing steadily without any sign of waking up.
Xiao ier sighed, it seed they could only wait for him to sober up tomorrow to ask for clarification.
However, what Xiao ier didn’t know was that at this very mont, the seemingly asleep Chen Cheng was experiencing a storm of emotions within.
Chen Cheng thought to himself, “This ti, have I guessed right or wrong?”
