The man’s bandaging technique was fairly skilled. Before long, he had Lin Yixun’s knee injury neatly and securely wrapped up.
When going upstairs, Lin Yixun insisted on walking by herself. Leng Yixiu did not stop her but once they were both back in bed, the man hooked his arm around her and held her tightly in his arms.
Lin Yixun’s heart skipped a beat, her whole body tensing up. She thought the man would make some aggressive move, but who knew Leng Yixiu didn’t go any further; he simply held her without doing anything more.
Held by Leng Yixiu, Lin Yixun couldn’t fall asleep. She only thought of waiting for Leng Yixiu to fall asleep, so she could break free from his embrace.
The man seemed to sense her thoughts. He reached out a hand, his long fingers covering her eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Sleep."
Lin Yixun was slightly startled, realizing that all this time, Leng Yixiu had not yet fallen asleep. Helplessly, she could only close her eyes, continuously trying to hypnotize herself. People say counting sheep helps with insomnia, but Lin Yixun found that it didn’t work at all for her.
It wasn’t until dawn that Lin Yixun still hadn’t slept. Suddenly, the mattress beside her moved, followed by the rustling sound of clothes. She guessed that Leng Yixiu was going to the company.
Lin Yixun couldn’t help but feel relieved, thinking that she could catch up on some sleep later; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to get through the work in the afternoon. Just at that moment, Lin Yixun felt the air around her move slightly, followed by the warm breath of the man.
It was Leng Yixiu’s breath.
Lin Yixun’s fingers, hidden under the quilt, trembled slightly, but her face remained indifferent, still pretending to be asleep. She didn’t know what Leng Yixiu wanted to do, but the next moment, she got her answer.
Lin Yixun never expected Leng Yixiu to make such a move. In her mind, such intimate gestures were something only lovers deeply in love would do, but they weren’t lovers, and Leng Yixiu certainly didn’t love her.
Seeing her eyelashes fluttering faintly like butterfly wings, the man didn’t expose her. He gave her a deep glance, then slowly got up and walked towards the door.
Going downstairs, Leng Yixiu said to Sister Yi, "Miss Lin needs to sleep a bit more. Don’t wake her up."
Sister Yi hurriedly nodded, "Alright, Sir."
Leng Yixiu walked into the branch office building and met Assistant Chen in the elevator. Assistant Chen carefully observed the big boss’s face today, noting that as usual, he looked indifferent, with no other expressions, and the air pressure around him seemed normal.
How could this be? When the big boss called him, he clearly wasn’t in a good mood, so how was he suddenly in a better mood now?
Could it be that the two of them made up again last night?
Walking out of the elevator, Assistant Chen tailed Leng Yixiu into the CEO’s office.
Leng Yixiu turned around and gave him a glance, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Uh... President Leng, do you want to cancel the plane tickets to the UK?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by noⅴelfire.net
"Why would I cancel them?"
"Oh, oh, oh, not canceling is fine, not canceling is fine."
Assistant Chen nodded vigorously, secretly feeling fortunate that he had not taken it upon himself to cancel the trip to the UK last night, or else he would be in deep trouble.
However, this man’s thoughts were really unpredictable, and the big boss was even harder to fathom. As Leng Yixiu’s assistant, his own days were even more difficult.
He silently prayed that either the big boss would soon settle things with Lin Yixun or lose interest in her altogether. Otherwise, even if the big boss didn’t go crazy, he himself might sooner or later.
