The Billionaire’s Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO’s Pursuit

Chopin’s sorrowful yet soothing piano music played softly…

With her eyes closed, Gu Xiaoai leaned against Li Juefeng’s warm chest, her mind filled with images of Chu Shixiu and the scent of mint that lingered around him.

Chu Shixiu, forget her…

She wasn’t worth his thoughts, and he shouldn’t play Nocturne No. 9 anymore. He wasn’t sad; he was happy, he was warm…

Tears slipped from her closed eyes…

The piano music shifted from one piece to another, all Chopin, and the melodies tugged at her heart, making it ache with a bittersweet pain.

Did Li Juefeng also enjoy listening to Chopin?

Li Juefeng and Chu Shixiu were worlds apart in personality, yet they both liked Chopin? What a strange coincidence.

Suddenly, the large hand at her waist moved, and Gu Xiaoai felt herself being gently lifted from Li Juefeng’s embrace and placed on the other side of the bed, the blanket tucked around her shoulders.

Then she heard the soft sound of Li Juefeng getting out of bed.

Li Juefeng, usually so arrogant and brash, moved with such quietness that it surprised her.

Gu Xiaoai continued to feign sleep, her eyes closed, when she felt a tug on the IV line on her hand, cutting off the cool flow of liquid into her veins…

The bed sank heavily beside her as Li Juefeng returned.

If she hadn’t been awake, she wouldn’t have noticed his movements, so light they were, unlike his usual domineering demeanor.

Gu Xiaoai opened her eyes slightly, seeing the empty IV bag discarded at the bedside, with only a soft needle left on her hand.

Her body was pulled back into his embrace.

Chopin’s piano music abruptly stopped as the music was turned off.

Li Juefeng turned over on the bed, holding her close, like a child clutching a doll…

Gu Xiaoai, facing away from him, opened her eyes wide in shock.

Li Juefeng’s series of actions left her stunned, as if struck by lightning.

She couldn’t quite grasp what she was feeling-shock, surprise, disbelief… or something else entirely?

Could it be that Li Juefeng couldn’t sleep because he was waiting for her IV to finish so he could remove the tube? Afraid she might get air in her veins?

No, definitely not.

Li Juefeng had never shown her any respect in his actions or words, so why would he be so attentive, staying awake to monitor when the IV bag would be empty for her…

The only explanation for his actions could be summed up in one word: boredom.
