And there he stood at the door, watching Ye Wanwan hysterically lose her mind, his eyes brimming with exhaustion.
Shen Yi, as an outsider, frowned as he observed everything before him.
When Shen Yi saw Ye Wanwan crying like a child, yet the "him" in the scene didn’t step forward to embrace her, Shen Yi felt both heartache and rage within him.
All Shen Yi wanted to do was to walk up quickly and hold Ye Wanwan in his arms, then tell her he loved only her!
However, Shen Yi couldn’t embrace anything, everything before his eyes was like an illusion, visible but untouchable.
All Shen Yi could do was watch Ye Wanwan cry helplessly.
When Shen Yi awoke, he could only think of the dream as ridiculous, what a complete mess of things.
He shook his head, casting aside the nonsensical dreams, and got up to prepare for work.
But during work, when Shen Yi saw the female secretary who had knocked on his door the night before, his face darkened as he looked toward her supervisor.
The supervisor was frightened by Shen Yi’s gaze, and remembering the phone call from the secretary the night before, he kept apologizing, promising there would be no repeat of such an incident.
After work ended, Shen Yi declined the evening’s dinner invitation, taking Assistant Chen and heading back to Beijing first.
After all, Shen Yi was still affected by that strange dream from the night before.
He was worried that Ye Wanwan, alone at home, might overthink things.
But by the time Shen Yi arrived at the airport to return, and then at Bihai Bay Villa, it was already deep into the night.
The villa was quiet, and when Shen Yi arrived, only a servant was on duty.
Shen Yi told him not to worry, changed his shoes, and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, Ye Wanwan was fast asleep. Shen Yi leaned over the bed to kiss the corner of her lips, then tiptoed to freshen up.
After he had finished freshening up, Ye Wanwan was still asleep, so Shen Yi lay down in bed, holding her as he fell asleep.
Ye Wanwan awoke, her eyes groggy as she opened them and immediately saw a familiar face before her.
She was initially stunned, then quickly regained her senses, calling out excitedly, "Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi, a light sleeper, woke up as she called out. His eyes still closed, he reached out to touch Ye Wanwan’s head, his voice slightly hoarse, "Awake?"
"When did you come back?" Ye Wanwan was surprised.
Shen Yi hadn’t been back before she went to sleep last night, now to open her eyes and see him was definitely a midnight return, but she couldn’t help asking.
"Came back at midnight, you were asleep, so I didn’t disturb you," said Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan had already propped herself up, half-leaning beside Shen Yi, "Then why didn’t you come back today?"
Shen Yi fell silent for a long while. Why didn’t he come back today?
It was probably because of the dream where Ye Wanwan was crying so helplessly, and he was unable to comfort her.
"Haven’t explained in person about the night before last, I was afraid you’d worry on your own at home," Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at Ye Wanwan, and said seriously.
Even though he had explained everything clearly at the time, even though Ye Wanwan had said she absolutely trusted him, just the thought of Ye Wanwan crying so sadly in the dream made Shen Yi unable to bear it.
He didn’t want Ye Wanwan to be as sad as she was in his dream, no matter when, he had to explain it well to her.
Just a few more words of explanation was all it was, why make her so sad?
