Chapter 205: Chapter 205: He’s Always Surrounded by Won
Yin Hehe ultimately had no choice but to leave the man alone.
She returned to her desk and continued with her work until late into the night. Feeling a bit sleepy, she lay down on the sofa still dressed.
The room was serene.
Before long, even breaths could be heard coming from the sofa.
But just then, the man lying on the bed stirred. All one could see was him turning over, his dark, inky pupils opening in the dim light of the room.
How utterly indifferent!
In such cold weather, to see him sleeping on the bed for so long without knowing to cover him with a blanket.
He got up.
He went to the washroom to splash his face with water, and upon returning, expressionless, he went to the sofa and picked up the woman.
“Hmm…”
Her body was suddenly suspended in midair.
The woman, who was in the midst of sleep, showed signs of waking in alarm.
But quickly, the man holding her pulled her into his chest with his strong, powerful arms, his warm body temperature transferring to her. She curled up like a kitten that had found safety.
And contentedly fell back asleep.
The corner of the man’s mouth curled slightly as he placed her into the bed.
“Buzz… Buzz…”
“Hello?”
He looked at the phone ringing in the middle of the night, displeased, and answered.
Xu Guannan: “President, I’ve just received news that the Prosecutor’s Office has set the date for the court session.”
“When?”
Xu Guannan imdiately responded.
“The day after tomorrow!”
The day after tomorrow?
That was quick. It seed Shangguan Jianying had also noticed Jian Zhongzhou had left and made a swift return, hadn’t he?
“Understood. You don’t need to handle this matter. Leave it to this woman,” he said.
Standing by the window, after hearing the news, the man surprisingly did not give any further instructions.
Xu Guannan paused: “You an… Mada? Leave it entirely to her?”
The man nodded: “Mhm.”
Xu Guannan: “…”
For a mont, he didn’t know what to say on the other end of the phone.
Because, in his view, this decision was indeed a bit too risky and hasty—it was the man’s life at stake!
Xu Guannan hung up the phone.
—
The following day.
When Yin Hehe woke up, she found herself in bed, her mind sowhat foggy.
“You’re awake?”
The familiar and deep male voice sounded.
She was startled.
Turning her head to look, she imdiately saw the man sitting with his legs crossed in the wicker chair. At that mont, the morning sunlight stread through the window and fell on him, as if casting a halo around him.
His profile was perfect.
So handso it almost didn’t seem real.
“How did I end up… in bed?”
“Oh.” The man raised his head from the book, sweeping a languid, tired glance over her.
“I carried you there. It’s cold, and if you got sick, there would be no one to fight this lawsuit for ,” he admitted forthrightly.
Yin Hehe stiffened.
After a while, she awkwardly climbed out of bed, ready to wash up in the bathroom.
“I’m not that fragile, but still, thank you,” she said.
The man did not continue the conversation.
However, seeing her limp into the washroom, he picked up the cell phone lying beside him.
“When will the doctor arrive?”
“Any minute now.”
“Also, order so breakfast up here. Add lots of chili,” he instructed, still holding the phone.
Xu Guannan was stunned.
The president actually wanted chili? Didn’t he have a stomach problem? For so many years he had avoided spicy food.
Why the sudden urge for chili?
The man ended the call.
Just then, Yin Hehe, having tidied herself up, ca out of the washroom and saw him still seated there. Hesitating for a mont, she approached him.
“When will you return to the hospital?”
“?”
The man lifted his head to look at her.
Yin Hehe explained, “You are out on bail for dical treatnt, so you definitely need to stay at the hospital.”
“Oh…” the man finally understood.
However, his complexion turned very ugly, and he showed no intention of getting up.
“But I’m not sick, Lawyer Lan, the hospital slls bad, and I’ve had enough of it five years ago. Can I not go?”
He actually didn’t want to go.
Yin Hehe was taken aback, looking at those beautiful, dark eyes filled with grievance and pleading as they gazed at her.
In an instant, her heart softened.
“But if you don’t go, where will you stay? With your situation, the Prosecutor’s Office could co to investigate at any ti.”
“Why not just live with you?”
Unexpectedly, the man blurted out another line.
In an instant, Yin Hehe’s entire face turned red beneath her makeup mask.
“What are you talking about? How can you live with ?”
“Why not? You’re my lawyer, and staying with you would make the Prosecutor’s Office feel more at ease, wouldn’t it?”
“…”
“Besides, we were already living together in Shengfei Bay, so why set boundaries now?”
The man seed to notice the flush beneath her cheeks, adding such a sentence nonchalantly.
Yin Hehe was completely blocked.
Her face, in a place he couldn’t see, was so flushed she nearly bled from embarrassnt.
The “living together” he ntioned obviously referred to Shengfei Bay.
It wasn’t exactly living together; they were in the sa building, on the sa floor, right next door!
Yin Hehe turned and walked away.
Minutes later, as she packed the docunts she had organized the night before and was ready to head out, soone knocked on the door from outside.
“Knock knock knock—”
“Coming!”
She had to go over and open the door.
As soon as she opened it, she was greeted by the man’s assistant, Xu Guannan, standing at the doorway.
Behind him, he brought two others.
“Miss Han, this doctor is here to see your foot, and Miss Jian, she…”
“Sister, my na is Jian Rou. I heard you’re the one representing my cousin in court. This morning I went to that famous old breakfast shop in the east of the city especially for you and my cousin, I bought a portion for the two of you, and it’s still warm.”
Standing at the door, Jian Rou, upon seeing Yin Hehe, imdiately flashed a surprised smile and held up the breakfast she had brought high.
Yin Hehe was stunned for a few seconds.
“Thud!”
It was then that the sound of a teacup being slamd down onto the table ca from behind.
Soon after, a man enveloped in chilliness approached.
“Xu Guannan, are you tired of working or what?”
Every single word.
The man was filled with intense murderous intent!
Xu Guannan instantly went pale.
“President, my apologies, it’s just that I…”
“Cousin, don’t bla Xu Guannan. It was
who followed the doctor here. You didn’t co back all night, and I was worried about you, so I bought breakfast to bring along. If you don’t like it, I’ll leave right now.”
The girl was very clever.
Seeing the man suddenly beco so furious, she quickly guessed the reason and imdiately, her charming little face fell.
She quietly shrank back at the doorway.
Yin Hehe watched silently.
Not until the man behind her, with a face full of grimness, moved to close the door directly, did Yin Hehe finally smile.
“It’s okay, co in, Miss Jian. I’m actually hungry, thank you so much.”
To everyone’s surprise, she actually reached out and took the breakfast from the girl’s hands.
The man’s pupils contracted in a flash.
Xu Guannan broke out into even more of a cold sweat.
What was this woman up to?
“Don’t ntion it, sister. Let
help you inside. Your foot is injured, so don’t exert yourself.”
Jian Rou was ecstatic.
Her smile blood again as she ca in and warmly reached out to support Yin Hehe’s arm.
Yin Hehe glanced at her.
After a mont, she nodded in agreent, under the increasingly cold scrutiny of the man behind her.
