The room fell silent, so quiet that only their breathing could be heard. For a long time, Gu Xiaoai lay on his chest, almost drifting off in his embrace, when suddenly, Li Juefeng’s deep, magnetic voice resonated through his chest and into her ears.
“Gu Xiaoai, I can’t sleep.”
What did his insomnia have to do with her?!
Couldn’t he just go to the study and work?
Didn’t he often read documents in the study? The study was filled with materials and complex books she couldn’t understand.
She even thought about what would happen if she exposed the confidential files in his study. Would E.S. be ruined? Would Li Juefeng be destroyed?
But she would never see that outcome because, before it happened, she would surely be dealt with by Li Juefeng.
Too lazy to deal with him, Gu Xiaoai kept her eyes closed, pretending to sleep.
“Asleep?” He pinched her cheek, looking at her seemingly asleep face, and muttered in displeasure, “Damn woman, fell asleep so quickly.”
…
He’s the damn man! The rotten man! The shameless scoundrel with no limits!
Gu Xiaoai cursed him silently hundreds of times, then slightly opened her eyes to see Li Juefeng’s long, elegant hand pick up the remote control by the bed and press a button.
Immediately, the loud sound of a piano filled the room, echoing in every corner.
“Damn it,” Li Juefeng cursed under his breath, turning the volume down to the lowest setting.
Now, only a faint piano melody could be heard.
Was he lowering the volume for her, afraid of disturbing her?
Watching his actions, Gu Xiaoai was momentarily at a loss. She rarely saw this considerate side of Li Juefeng.
But as the soft piano music became clear, Gu Xiaoai suddenly lost all sleepiness.
It was Chopin’s piano music again.
Melancholic, soothing, deep…
The scene of reuniting with Chu Shixiu earlier that day replayed in her mind-the flutter in her heart when he held her, his gentle eyes, the hurt in his gaze, the mix of awkwardness and stubbornness…
Chu Shixiu had said, “I’m here to take my fiancée.”
Chu Shixiu had said, “Xiao Ai, I’ve been looking for you for so long.”
Chu Shixiu had said, “Xiao Ai, do you have a boyfriend?”
Chu Shixiu had said, “Xiao Ai, don’t go…”
…
In that instant, all traces of sleep vanished completely.
