Ye Wanwan had no objection, and as the sky gradually darkened, she followed Shen Yi out the door.
Hand in hand, the couple strolled through Riverside Park where a gentle breeze wafted by and flocks of pigeons flew overhead.
They seemed like the most ordinary husband and wife in the world, supporting each other.
Shen Yi was swamped with work and couldn’t find much time to spend with Ye Wanwan, having passed all his work to Assistant Chen the day before. Still, he had to go to the office today.
But Shen Yi seemed to have been too beastly last night, having worn Ye Wanwan out. She was still deeply asleep, showing no signs of waking up any time soon.
Shen Yi got up early to prepare breakfast, then went back to the room to wash up. After getting dressed, he approached the bed where Ye Wanwan was lying on her side, sleeping soundly.
Looking at her sweet, obedient sleeping face, he couldn’t help but reveal a tender smile, bending over to kiss her on the lips.
Ye Wanwan, disturbed in her sleep, pouted and frowned slightly, looking displeased.
"Sleep," Shen Yi gently adjusted the quilt for her and soothed her in a soft voice before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.
Shen Yi exited the apartment to find Assistant Chen already waiting outside.
"Good morning, Mr. Shen," said Assistant Chen as he opened the car door.
Instead of hurrying into the car, Shen Yi looked at Assistant Chen with a pleased smile and said jokingly, "You’ve worked hard, Assistant Chen. Not only handling work matters but also arranging surprises for me in private."
Assistant Chen also smiled, "It’s all part of the job."
"Wanwan said she promised to give you a raise," Shen Yi said as he stepped into the car. Before closing the door, he added, "Tell HR, after we return to the country your rank should be promoted."
"Thank you for the promotion, Mr. Shen," Assistant Chen’s face was all smiles, which was much more rewarding than a previous double bonus.
When Ye Wanwan woke up, she was dazed for a while before remembering she was at Shen Yi’s place.
She frowned and glanced around the bedroom, seeing no sign of Shen Yi. Clearly, he wasn’t there, but she faintly remembered him mentioning he had to go to the office today.
Ye Wanwan sighed, picked up her phone from the nightstand, and saw it was already past ten in the morning. Shen Yi had sent her a WeChat message telling her he’d gone to work and that breakfast was in the kitchen.
Ye Wanwan yawned, casually placed her phone beside the pillow, and closed her eyes, seemingly falling back asleep.
About ten minutes later, Ye Wanwan opened her eyes, turned over, and hurriedly got out of bed to go to the washroom.
After freshening up, Ye Wanwan listlessly left the bedroom and saw the sandwich and milk Shen Yi had prepared in the open kitchen.
Ye Wanwan sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast, continually fighting the urge to close her eyes, still looking sleepy.
Even though she had woken up so late, she seemed completely unrefreshed.
After dragging through breakfast, Ye Wanwan finally perked up a bit, sat down on the sofa, and flipped through her phone.
As if by telepathy, Shen Yi seemed to sense that Ye Wanwan was awake and sent her a message.
"I will finish work soon and come back to take you out for lunch," said Shen Yi.
