Chapter 334: Can’t Help But Feel Sympathy for Him_1
When Ye Junqing finished his bath and returned to the room, Ye Xingguang was already “asleep”. On the surface, she seed to be sleeping, even exaggeratedly snoring. But he knew she never snored in her sleep.
The snoring… was quite convincingly perford.
Ye Xingguang’s heart throbbed nervously in her throat, taking refuge in her pretense of sleeping and snoring. Even so, she could still sense a pair of eyes that appeared to see through her clumsy deception, making her anxious and fidgety.
Her cheeks flushed a shade deeper.
The room was incredibly quiet, so quiet that she could clearly hear a man’s breathing. Ye Xingguang could also hear her own heartbeat thumping loudly, bang, bang, bang… She wondered, could he hear it too?
Ye Junqing took out his notebook, sat on the bed, and started a video conference.
Before connecting, Ye Junqing tossed out a line, “Lower your snoring sound, or else my division managers will know I have a snoring fairy beside .”
Ye Xingguang’s snoring abruptly stopped.
Opening her tightly shut eyes, she found him sitting on the bed, laptop open for a eting. She didn’t know whether to roll her eyes in disbelief or not.
“Why are you having a eting at this hour?”
There was a nagging undertone in her voice that she herself didn’t notice.
Ye Junqing glanced at her, “Ti difference. It’s early morning overseas, and ti for etings. What, feeling disappointed that I didn’t hold you in my arms right away?”
“Disappointed my foot, I’m going back to sleep.”
Ye Xingguang turned over, her back to him, tugging the blanket over her face. What a waste of nervous energy!
However, it isn’t easy for Ye Junqing either. As the CEO of a big conglorate, he has to attend etings in the middle of the night. She couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards him.
Initially, she planned to discuss with him about Xia Yanyan’s intention to wed him using her privilege, after his eting. However, his eting lasted half an hour and was completely in a foreign language beyond her understanding. It was all because she forgot to learn more foreign languages.
In the end, she started to feel drowsy. The only feeling left was that the bed was much hotter than when she slept alone.
She wanted to move away from the heat source to cool down. However, the heat source behind her felt like a black hole, exerting a strong gravitational pull, as if it wanted to swallow her whole.
Ye Xingguang couldn’t help ntally berating herself. She was seriously done for!
After a bit of thinking, she swiftly shifted to the edge of the bed, determined to preserve her dignity.
Ye Junqing ended his eting, closed his laptop, put it on the bedside table. His dark eyes landed on the woman who was slowly distancing herself from him in her sleep. Didn’t she fear falling off the bed?
He turned off the light, reached out his long arm to pull her towards him. With a slight force, Ye Xingguang’s body involuntarily fell into his embrace. Facing the onslaught of his strong masculine aura, Ye Xingguang’s thick eyelashes trembled several tis. She didn’t know if it was because of the sumr heat, but lying in his arms, she could feel her whole body heating up, her bottom felt like it was about to combust.
Ye Xingguang forced herself to divert her attention, “Is your family persuading you to give up on and marry Xia Yanyan?”
Finally, they broached this topic. Ye Junqing was silent for a mont before admitting, “Are you worried?”
Of course she was worried; otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed back to the capital so hastily.
However, what she was worried about wasn’t Xia Yanyan using her privilege to snatch her man away. She was confident that she could outsmart Xia Yanyan. What she was worried about was his decision.
