The study room is very quiet. Ye Ningyuan has a huge workload in a day. There are a lot of documents that need to be reviewed and reviewed. This is all the work that Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu and others have sorted out and sent to him. He still has to spend more than a dozen times a day.
I spend most of my time at work. I have been with An Xunuo recently, and I have accumulated a lot of work. In the study, I can only hear the rustling sound of turning pages.
An Xunuo was quietly reading fairy tales. Ye Ningyuan occasionally raised his eyes and asked her what she was reading and whether it was good or not. She responded obediently. If Ye Ningyuan didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either and kept quiet.
The light in the study was very bright. He turned his head and looked. An Xunuo was leaning sideways, with a faint smile on her lips. Her expression was peaceful and joyful, so quiet and beautiful. He had never known that she also had such a gentle side.
He smiled and continued to work hard.
An Xunuo yawned a little and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. She slowly put down the book. Her eyes were a little sore. She thought to herself that she would squint for a while and continue reading after a while. [
When Ye Ningyuan raised her eyes, she was already asleep.
He looked at the clock, got up and went over, carefully carried her up, and went back to her room. An Xunuo fell asleep soundly, her face buried in his arms, and she continued to sleep.
He covered her with the quilt. She had her head on one side, her breathing was shallow, and her fair face was slightly red. She was very cute when she was sleeping. Ye Ningyuan's slender fingers slid over her face, and her fingertips
The skin underneath is as soft as silk, with a faint fragrance. There is a look in his eyes that is a bit like pain, promise, when will you wake up?
Michael's death was a huge blow to her, and she has yet to recover. Coupled with the torture in the mental hospital, mental misdirection, and the effects of psychedelic drugs, they destroyed her and made her closed.
When he saw her being tortured on the surveillance video that day, his anger was far beyond his expectation. He still remembered the ease with which he could hold her when she fell.
He is still thinking, why should he save her?
Michael was killed, she was arrested, and tortured. None of this had anything to do with him. Why would he risk his life to save her?
Was it her miserable cry, or her lonely and desperate eyes, or maybe it was the few days they spent together in City A that made him consider her a friend? He laughed at himself. This time, he acted more impulsively than rationally.
An promised to him that he was a special existence. Whether he admitted it or not, this was the fact.
He hoped that she could recover soon. Although she was very well-behaved and cute at the moment, this was the other side of the promise. That strong and cold promise was the real him.
The first time he saw her cry, he felt extremely complicated, distressed and angry. How could Xu Nuo, whom he knew, cry so fragilely? She was the kind of girl who would not change her color even if the sky fell. She was so determined.
, powerful, should not be defeated by pain.
But now she is very happy, forgetting everything, carefree, and sleeping peacefully. If she wakes up, she will be in pain and despair, fearing that this is also the reason why she has closed herself off and lost everything.
He sighed in his heart, walked out of the room slowly, closed the door gently, and went back to the study to work.
"Qinglong, how is the investigation of Michael's matter?" He dialed Qinglong's internal number and asked in a deep voice.
"Boss, this matter is a bit mysterious and complicated. Please give me a few more days. It seems that several police detectives and lawyers are also investigating Michael's matter, and things have happened one after another. I only have some clues at the moment and I dare not draw any conclusions.
, I’ll sort it out for you when it’s confirmed.”
"ASAP!"
"yes!"
At three o'clock in the morning, he went back to his room to rest. He had been resting very late recently, and his companionship commitments were too long. Most of the time he worked all night, and he was extremely tired. Who knew that he had only slept for an hour when he heard footsteps at the door.
He was in a light sleep, and he could hear the slightest movement. The footsteps were very light, but he heard them clearly. Then the door was opened. Ye Ningyuan opened his eyes slightly and saw Xu Nuo hugging her pillow and her bare feet.
Walk in and close the door gently.
Ye Ningyuan frowned, what was she going to do? He pretended to be asleep and didn't make a sound. An Xunuo walked softly to his bed and put down the pillow. She was worried that it would wake Ye Ningyuan, but when she saw that he was breathing steadily
, she felt relieved, smiled cutely, climbed onto the bed carefully, lifted up a corner of the quilt, slowly slid in, and slept next to Ye Ningyuan. Feeling unsatisfied for a long time, she took Ye Ningyuan's arm, hugged her to her chest, and whispered
Said, "That's good."[
Her voice was extremely satisfied.
Ye Ningyuan was embarrassed. Because An Xunuo was holding his arm, his palm was right on her lower abdomen, and his arm was also tightly against her soft chest. The touch was very obvious, and suddenly there was a woman next to her.
, the faint fragrance penetrated into his nose like a snake, lingering, like layers of silk, trapping his heart.
How could he sleep?
"Xu Nuo, why are you here?" He turned on the switch on the bedside, and the room lit up. Xu Nuo's big crystal eyes looked at him, seeming a little confused as to why he woke up. Then, like a child who had done something wrong, he hid his face in
Between the pillows, he hugged his arms tighter, feeling a little pitiful. The words Ye Ningyuan wanted to say came to his mouth, and he circled around and swallowed them back.
"I want to sleep with daddy." An Xunuo's voice was small and soft, with a hint of grievance. "I'm scared to sleep alone in such a big house. He keeps beating me, so I can't sleep well."
Ye Ningyuan was startled and pulled her face. An Xunuo's eyes were accusatory and wronged. He was surprised, "Who hit you?"
"Bad guy." An Xunuo said angrily, "He is very bad. He makes me run and fight with others every day. When I get tired, I take a break secretly, and then he beats me. The whip is very long, and it hurts me a lot.
It hurts..."
Ye Ningyuan frowned, what on earth was she talking about? Was she having a nightmare?
"Good boy, it's just a dream." Ye Ningyuan touched her face and was surprised to feel a handful of sweat. She seemed to have really had a nightmare just now.
"It's not a dream!" An Xunuo blinked and pointed at his back, "My back still hurts."
Ye Ningyuan chuckled, "Good boy, it's just a dream. Daddy also has nightmares occasionally."
"Really?"
Ye Ningyuan nodded and promised, "The bad guy is very bad, very bad. I hate bad people and always bully me. Are you really having a nightmare? I was beaten by him just now, and I still think that when I grow up, I will kill him."
, and then plucked out his hair and beard."
"Okay, from now on daddy will help you pluck out his beard and hair. Now be good and go back to your room to sleep."
