Chapter 1740 - The Night of Insomnia
Cheng Weilai looked at his back, wanting to say a word of thanks, but she realized that she had thanked him way too much today. No matter how much he thanked him, it wouldn't be comparable to giving him a substantive return.
But what could she do? If she had no money, if she had no power, Cheng Weilai could not help but think, if she lived here, then from today onwards, she would have to take responsibility of cleaning up this house!
And tomorrow, she thought, was the Double Day.
Cheng Weilai took a bath, then laid on the bed. In her heart, she could finally relax.
She no longer had to worry about her Grandfather and Uncle forcing her to marry Kang Huiyang.
She would never let her family bother him, she thought.
Duan Siye laid on the bed with his arms crossed. It was already the wee hours of the morning, but he was not sleepy at all.
He couldn't help but think about the girl in the guest room. It was a strange feeling to have a girl in his house, and it also seemed to strike a chord with his heart.
The dim yellow light from the lamp illuminated a small space. The man on the large grey bed wore dark silk pajamas embroidered with silk, which made the man's face seem much more profound.
At the age of thirty-one, Duan Siye had already lived through most of his life, but the life before him was one of busy work, and he had never considered matters of relationship. Right now, he had succeeded in his career, and the company had steadily risen, but his life still seemed to be lacking. His mother had left, his sister had gone to work abroad, his father and grandfather had also lived in the countryside, and in his life, he really did seem too lonely.
In this world, no one was born to enjoy loneliness, because in the human heart, there was an instinct for love, for warmth, for loneliness, which often made him feel empty, as if most of his memories over the years had been in the business world, holding meetings and meeting guests from all over the world, winning projects that were completed, projects that needed further improvement.
In the past, he had raised a toast. Now, success had become his habit, but no one shared it.
Duan Siye recalled the past few years, suddenly, Cheng Weilai's figure appeared in his mind. The night he first saw her, at the banquet, she was dressed in a red dress, holding a cup. His face was filled with hidden bitterness, making him feel sorry for her.
The more Duan Siye thought about it, the more he felt his chest and lower abdomen tighten, as if a strong wave of thought had surged up, causing him to immediately sit up.
He shook his head, shaking off the deep thoughts in his mind. However, he couldn't shake them off. Instead, his heart was attracted to the girl who was living in the guest room.
Duan Siye squinted his eyes, got up and walked towards the direction of the small pub, took out a bottle of strong alcohol, added a spoonful of ice, poured the whiskey in, and drank it. In fact, he did not reject the desire in his heart. This was a thought that normal men had. He was just curious, why was it this girl who aroused his thoughts?
She looked six years younger than him. Was he really older? That's why you like a girl who's six years younger?
Over the years, he had seen too many women in the business world, and those women were easily obtainable with a wave of his hand. However, he had no interest in them.
Now, however, he was beginning to have sentimental thoughts about a woman who had just entered his life.
On the other hand, Cheng Weilai was so tired that he slept soundly, because over the past few days, she was so tired that he needed strength to breathe. Tonight, when Duan Siye had helped her reject the marriage, her heart had relaxed, making his even more sleepy.
Only, she did not know that on this full moon night, the man in master bedroom could no longer sleep.
It was still because of her that he couldn't sleep.
Abroad, in hotels, at this moment, it was already 11: 00 PM. After finishing lunch, Duan Shu Xian had some time to rest. Tao Zhen was already a little old, so she wouldn't accompany them shopping.
Duan Shu Xian and Guan Yue made an appointment to come out. Behind Duan Shu Xian, there were four bodyguards who had hidden themselves into the crowd to protect them.
This was something that Duan Shu Xian hadn't discovered in the past few days. These bodyguards had very subtle abilities and definitely wouldn't disturb her life.
They were sent by Xi Jingchen, and had very low profile as they entered the Exhibition Exchange. They were guests, waiters, and their goal was to protect Duan Shu Xian and her people.
And her main target was still Duan Shu Xian.
Duan Shu Xian and Guan Yue were dressed in low-key attire as they walked down a very old street. This was a place where many tourists liked to explore old treasures, Duan Shu Xian was also thinking about giving Xi Jingchen a present this time, so she had to carefully select one.
Duan Shu Xian and Guan Yue walked into a shop to choose a pen from. Duan Shu Xian walked to a pen shop and looked at the hand-carved pen in front of her, it was extremely beautiful. She thought of the pen she'd given him at school the last time, as if he'd been using it all the time, and this time she still wanted to give him a pen.
Duan Shu Xian hoped that the gift she had given him would be able to stay by his side, by his side, and be of use to him.
Duan Shu Xian bought another pen for him. After that, she went to look for some gifts for her parents and her grandfather.
These days, she had been counting the days. She didn't think that her feelings of separation would be so bitter. Coupled with the jet lag, Duan Shu Xian felt a sense of panic. She would be able to see him in two days.
"Big Sister Duan, what's your boyfriend doing?" Guan Yue curiously and casually asked.
Duan Shu Xian was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "I'm not sure exactly what he did either."
"What?" You didn't ask around! "Then is your boyfriend handsome!?" Guan Yue was also a Young girls, and the two of them had been very close these few days.
"Pretty handsome." This must be the truth! Furthermore, Xi Jingchen is not only handsome! He was handsome with a certain temperament, a great deal of charm, and a great deal of elegance.
Guan Yue couldn't help but look at her enviously. "It's really good, now I don't even know where my boyfriend is!"
"This is a matter of fate. Take your time, don't rush. You're still young." Duan Shu Xian comforted her.
This was how she had walked over. She believed that fate had decreed that she should not force her way through.
The person who should have appeared might have met him at a corner.
Early morning.
At home.
Cheng Weilai woke up early, found a place to store the mop, and started to clean from the main hall.
Due to Duan Siye not being able to sleep last night, he drank some wine later and allowed himself to fall asleep. When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock.
He rubbed his temples as he walked down the stairs. He saw that there was a shadow moving outside the window of the hall. He had to take a look.
So it was Cheng Weilai wiping the glass with a cloth. Duan Siye was startled, why did she start cleaning up?
Cheng Weilai had already made the clean hall even cleaner, so she had a sense of accomplishment.
When Duan Siye walked out of the garden, he saw Cheng Weilai stepping on a chair, stretching his arms and wiping the windows on the high ground.
"Have you had breakfast?" Duan Siye squinted his eyes and asked her.
Cheng Weilai did not know that there was someone standing behind his. When she heard the voice, he immediately turned his head.
"Ah …" Cheng Weilai's beautiful face instantly filled with fear, because she knew that he had lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.
Duan Siye did not expect that a sudden noise would scare her so much that she would fall down. He was right behind her, so he instinctively opened his arms wide to grab her.
As Cheng Weilai was jumping down from above, he had a lot of inertia. She threw himself into Duan Siye's embrace, and with Duan Siye's embrace, his body was pushed down by the force of the inertia. Suddenly, the two of them overlapped and fell on the grass.
Cheng Weilai's forehead collided with his firm chest, making him dizzy as well. Duan Siye immediately lowered his head to look at the girl in his embrace, while Cheng Weilai held his forehead and looked up at him. They were both worried about each other's injuries.
However, the two of them ignored the distance. Their faces were only half a palm apart.
The two pairs of eyes were once again shocked.
Duan Siye's gaze was fixated on the face that was right in front of him, the oval face that could be broken with the blowing of the wind, the delicate swan neck, and the flustered eyes.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he narrowed his eyes.
Cheng Weilai's beautiful face was flushed red, she quickly climbed down from his body, "I'm sorry, President, you're not hurt from the fall, right?"
