"Oh! I’m much younger than you."
"You’re twenty-seven, I’m twenty-one; you’re thirty-seven, I’m thirty-one; you’re forty..."
"Shut up and go to sleep."
"I’m not sleepy, I don’t want to sleep."
"Aren’t you always yawning at home every day?"
"Yeah! But now I’m not at home, so I won’t yawn..."
"Stop talking nonsense, you need to sleep even if you’re not tired!"
Shen Cheng said she wasn’t sleepy, but being held in his arms and closing her eyes, it took less than a minute for her to fall asleep.
By the time they returned to the mansion, night had already fallen. Shen Cheng took a shower and came out, receiving a call from Sun Yan.
When she heard Sun Yan say that Xia An’an was sued by Mo Qingxin and given a six-month sentence, she simply responded with a light "Hmm," and then casually asked, "What about her man?"
Sun Yan cleared his throat, "Her man, well, he was taken down by your man, Young Madam. Rumor has it, he’s gone bankrupt."
Shen Cheng slightly raised her eyebrows, "When did this happen?"
"Oh, there’s one more thing."
"Tao Tao went to the police station to see Xia An’an this afternoon and got hit by a car coming out. She’s really cursed; no harm done to her limbs, but she got serious facial injuries, disfigured."
"Hmm, serves her right."
"This family, once they encounter trouble, everything goes wrong for them, so miserable."
Shen Cheng sat down on the sofa, drying her hair, and asked, "Why, do you feel sympathy?"
"... I don’t know how to write sympathy."
Shen Cheng didn’t say anything more, just hung up the call.
Before her hair was completely dry, she put down the towel and leaned back onto the sofa.
Shi Yu got out of the shower and seeing her sitting on the sofa deep in thought, with her hair still damp, his handsome face turned gloomy on the spot.
He strode over, sat down beside her without saying a word, and draped his towel over her wet hair, starting to dry it.
His expression was dark, clearly in a bad mood.
Shen Cheng was used to this and even liked the look of concentration on his face when he dried her hair. She leaned her head to the side to look at him, the corners of her mouth curling up into a smile, "From now on, after I wash my hair, you’ll have to dry it for me."
Before he finished drying her hair, she leaned on his shoulder.
However, the man’s expression seemed somewhat unpleasant, his gaze was dark and brooding, and when she had just leaned on his shoulder, he used his hand to push her away.
He stood up, dominantly grabbed her hand, and pulled her to the bed, then took out a hairdryer to dry her hair.
After blowing it for a while, he turned off the hairdryer and put it back in its place.
Shen Cheng turned to look at him, "What’s wrong?"
He sat down beside her and continued to dry her hair with the towel.
Shen Cheng kept her head turned, watching him for a long while before she saw his sexy thin lips part slightly.
He uttered these two words coolly and indifferently.
Shen Cheng didn’t say anything, just snuggled up to him and said softly, "I love being pampered by you."
"Mhm, I’ll pamper you for a lifetime."
Shen Cheng hooked her lips into a lighter smile, "I like being indulged by you."
"Mhm, I’ll indulge you for a lifetime."
Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the night, a smile lingered on her face.
She never thought that one day she would become so dependent on a man.
Being pampered by him, indulged by her, it felt so good.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms like that...
In her drowsiness, she felt him carefully lay her on the bed, then he wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
He held her tightly, enveloping her in his embrace, making her sleep even more soundly.
