Indeed, he had just undergone surgery last night, and his body hadn’t fully recovered yet, but today, due to Secretary Gao’s visit, he had been almost lying there for nearly three and a half hours already. Anyone would find this exhausting.
Ye Ning took the notebook over, finally silent, and prepared to work on the small table over there.
If he was tired, then he definitely needed to rest well. If she were to type on the keyboard beside him, wouldn’t that disturb him?
Yet before she could get up, the man who had already lain down beside her spoke, "Just stay here; if there are any questions, you can ask me."
After a long pause, she ultimately complied, obediently sitting down beside him. Then, as he rested, she began to work on the emails he had sorted on the computer.
It was evident that he was indeed fatigued. After lying down, he spoke very little and instead closed his eyes slightly, quietly lying there.
Seeing this, Ye Ning tried to keep her voice down as much as possible, so as not to disturb him. Even if she encountered problems during her work, she would only create a new folder, put them aside, and handle the ones she could, so he could rest well.
As expected, with the prolonged lack of disturbance, he slowly fell asleep.
Under the soft light, the man who had been through a long day’s ordeal breathed evenly and gently, as if wearied for a long while, and soon was lost to the world in sleep.
Seeing this, Ye Ning put the notebook down, went over to turn off the lamp, covered him with his blanket, then returned to her previous spot and continued with her busy work...
The end of summer nights were already carrying a hint of coolness, and in a tranquil little village , the stillness and coolness were even more pronounced. The chirping of insects and the gentle breeze made it feel as if one had arrived in an entirely different world. Though lacking the city’s bustle and glamor, it offered a particular kind of peace and comfort.
She liked this kind of life. With no grand ambitions, a person like her needed only tranquility to be content.
Before coming out here, what she had in mind was that, after avenging her great wrong, she and her Xiaobao would leave behind the glamor that didn’t belong to them and find a quiet place to spend the rest of their lives.
On the first morning, Ye Ning was woken by the noise of the Nurse pushing the door. She raised her head from the small table and saw that it was already light outside.
"Miss An, why are you sleeping here? Didn’t I tell you that we’ve prepared a bed and blankets for you in this room?" Seeing Ye Ning sleeping on the small table, the nurse immediately asked with concern.
Ye Ning quickly shook her head and looked behind her, only to suddenly realize there was no one in the bed!
Where was Ou Mucen? Where was he?
Her drowsiness vanished in an instant, and she stood up abruptly, "Where did he go? Where is he?"
The Nurse hurriedly held her back, "Don’t worry, he’s fine. He just got up early in the morning and the doctor came to take him for a full-body checkup."
Then why didn’t she know anything about it?
As she listened, she touched her head, which was still a bit swollen and painful, and found it somewhat unbelievable.
Seeing her , the Nurse laughed, "You must have slept very late last night, look at the bloodshot in your eyes. How about this, you go wash your face first, and later you can go to the front and bring him back. We’re working now, and there are more people. I guess no one will be able to send him back later."
