She finally looked up and met his deep, dark eyes. “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see me?”
He looked into her dark, starry eyes but didn’t say anything.
After a while, he hugged her. “It’s late. Go to sleep.”
She was once again in his arms. For the first time in a long time, she felt safe and comfortable.
Leaning against his chest, she could not help but ask, “So, where have you been then?”
“At Xiangyi’s.”
“…” She couldn’t react because she was surprised.
Xiangyi’s?
He slept in Xiangyi’s apartment during that period of time?
He was the CEO of Di Zun Group and president of C Country. How could he stay in his subordinate’s apartment?
Why?
He could have slept in a five-star hotel, couldn’t he?
“Why did you sleep at Xiangyi’s place?”
“…” Well, Shi Yuting couldn’t just say that he slept there because he didn’t want her to suspect that he had been cheating on her.
And what had transpired proved that he made the right choice.
It was a good thing he didn’t stay at a hotel, or he would have really got tangled up with Manli.
“Just sleep,” he said softly and closed his eyes.
Zuo Weiyi did not say more as she listened to his steady breaths. She even forgot to leave his arms.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, Shi Yuting got up to buy breakfast. When she woke up, it was already 8:20 in the morning.
By the time breakfast was over, it was 9:00 A.M.
He went up to the second floor to change into a suit and leather shoes.
Zuo Weiyi sat on the sofa and watched TV. She remembered him saying that he was going to discuss a business deal today, so she didn’t bother to question too much.
A piece of news appeared on TV which caught Shi Yuting’s eye as he was walking over.
[After a few months, the beautiful CEO of L Group—the focus of everyone’s attention—has finally appeared safe and sound. It also proves that the cruise ship explosion was just a false alarm.]
The host had just finished speaking when the scene on TV quickly shifted to the face of a woman with an elegant temperament.
She smiled as she looked at the camera. “Thank you for your concern for me all this time. Unfortunately, my father died in that accident. From now on, L Group will be run by me. Thank you for your well-wishes and support for me and the group.”
Zuo Weiyi thought that he had left, but she found him standing behind her instead. She looked at him in surprise, only to see his unfathomable eyes staring straight at the news on the television.
She looked at him and then turned back towards face of the beautiful CEO of L Group on the television. She was indeed very beautiful, but… surely not to the extent that he couldn’t take his eyes off her?
Zuo Weiyi’s chest started to tightened as she watched his eyes remain glued to the screen.
However, she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned back and continued watching the news.
Meanwhile, Shi Yuting fell into deep thought.
The CEO of L Group had been involved in a cruise ship explosion a few months ago?
He finally looked away and sat down next to Weiyi.
“I’m going out.”
“…” Zuo Weiyi remained silent as her pair of beautiful eyes remained fixed on the TV screen.
He did not pay too much attention to her indifference.
Instead, he stared at her for a few seconds before suddenly pulling her towards him. He quickly sealed her pink lips in a single breath before letting go.
It seemed that he always caught the other off-guard when he did it.
