"Alright." Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan, his gaze and demeanor filled with utmost tenderness.
Ye Wanwan really went back to the bedroom, crawled into bed, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Shen Yi had been following closely behind Ye Wanwan since just now, fearing that she might bump into something or fall somewhere because she was too tired.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan fell asleep almost immediately after lying down, Shen Yi couldn’t help but show an indulgent smile.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly, carefully closed the bedroom door, and turned back to the living room.
Shen Yi had a lot of work to deal with today, but he didn’t want to leave Ye Wanwan alone and go to the company, so he simply had his assistant Chen take his place at this morning’s meeting.
Later, he had Assistant Chen bring the documents that needed his attention to the apartment, planning to work from home that day.
He also asked Assistant Chen to stop by the supermarket on the way and buy some fresh vegetables and fruits.
Shen Yi went back to the bedroom twice in the middle of everything. Seeing that Ye Wanwan was sleeping heavily, he didn’t disturb her.
Since she would only be staying here for a few days, there was no need to make her adjust her jet lag. Whenever she wanted to sleep, he would let her sleep well.
However, by eleven in the morning, Shen Yi stopped working, came out of the study, and started preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Even though Shen Yi was as careful as could be, preparing lunch inevitably made some noise, especially when he was chopping bones.
Perhaps because she had slept for a few hours, Ye Wanwan, who had had enough sleep, vaguely heard some noise.
When she opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar environment, she was somewhat puzzled and stared blankly for several seconds before gradually waking up.
Hearing sounds nearby, Ye Wanwan listened for a while to confirm it was noise from inside the apartment, then she threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
When Ye Wanwan came out of the bedroom, she immediately saw the man wearing an apron and cooking at the open kitchen counter.
"Didn’t you go to the office for work?" Ye Wanwan wondered why Shen Yi was still here.
Shen Yi, who had been seriously working on the food, looked up when he heard her voice and saw Ye Wanwan coming out of the bedroom.
"Awake?" Shen Yi smiled at Ye Wanwan, "Just in time for lunch soon."
"Didn’t you go to the office for work?" Ye Wanwan asked again.
"Hmm, there wasn’t anything particularly important to deal with. I had Assistant Chen bring the documents here." It wasn’t easy to see Wanwan, and he really didn’t want to leave her.
With a hint of guilt, Ye Wanwan said, "Did I get in the way of your work?"
"Of course not," Shen Yi answered without hesitation.
Then Shen Yi saw Ye Wanwan standing not far away, but her feet were bare, without any shoes on.
"Wanwan, go put on your shoes," Shen Yi reminded her.
Ye Wanwan looked down at her bare feet, thought about why she hadn’t put them on, and then honestly said, "The shoes went under the bed, I couldn’t reach them."
Ye Wanwan had been too sleepy when she went to bed and hadn’t paid attention to such details, likely kicking her slippers under the bed at that time.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi stopped chopping vegetables and walked towards Ye Wanwan.
When he reached Ye Wanwan, he first cradled her face and gently kissed her lips, saying fondly, "Silly girl."
