40 Liar

" You don't need to check in on me tonight, I feel fine. " Wang Yong calmly said to Zhi Ruo in the gigantic hallway.

" Okay. " Zhi Ruo calmly answered, " Goodnight then. "

Zhi Ruo felt a little tinge of sadness but quickly dismissed it, ' You are a grown woman, what are you feeling sad for? He is an adult now! He doesn't need you anymore. '

" Goodnight. " Wang Yong answered and walked towards his room without hesitation.

Zhi Ruo also turned to her room and got into bed.

After a slight feeling of discomfort, Zhi Ruo forced herself to fall asleep and closed her eyes.

...

Contrary to usual where she would feel extremely freshened up after a good night's sleep, Zhi Ruo felt extremely tired and easily irritable.

Sitting at the table together, the two men immediately noticed her tiredness.

" Ruoruo, you didn't sleep well yesterday? " Zhi Chao asked as he scooped a bowl of porridge for his sister.

" Yeah... " Zhi Ruo groggily answered as she slowly ate her porridge.

" What happened? " Zhi Chao inquired.

" Nothing much, I was just thinking about some stuff. " Zhi Ruo casually lied. There was no way she could admit that she felt weird sleeping without Wang Yong and was a bit lonely as he was almost always with her since she transmigrated over. Now she had to fill the gigantic cold bed by herself.

Wang Yong didn't say anything but still immediately understood that something off. He himself didn't have the best of sleep yesterday.

" Dad and mom are coming back this afternoon, are you going to the airport to pick them up? " Zhi Chao said.

" Yeah, I promised them. " Zhi Ruo answered while taking a few secret glances at Wang Yong.

She wanted to know if he was like her and didn't sleep really well without her but seeing his healthy-looking face, she was a bit disappointed. ' Seems like he really doesn't need me anymore. Wasn't he the one that said he couldn't sleep without me? Hmph! Liar...' * reference to chapter 32

" Wang Yong, how about you follow me today? Since my sister is going to the airport for a while, you won't be able to learn as much. " Zhi Chao proposed.

" Okay, thank you. " Wang Yong lightly responded.

...

Zhi Ruo had another meeting with her staff and after collecting all the necessary information and collaboration needed, she launched the new project. With the new project, Zhi Ruo's workload increased and her whole entire week was filled including her weekends.

Zhi Ruo sighed as she looked at her schedule and felt like she was really unsuited to be a CEO and that she should change her career.

During the afternoon, as promised, she went to pick up her parents at the airport who came back from a business trip.

Sitting in the car, Hui Yin was bombarding Zhi Ruo with questions, " What? He already recovered his memories?! "

" Only a part of them. " Zhi Ruo calmly answered.

" Still, isn't it a bit too early?! It's been barely a month since he got injured! " Hui Yin exclaimed worriedly.

" The doctor is very proficient in his field and Wang Yong has a phenomenal recovery speed. I read that it usually takes one to three months depending on the patient. It's not out of the ordinary for him to quickly reapproach his real age. And he was also the one who wanted to regain his memory early too. " Zhi Ruo explained.

" Does he have any trauma or issue right now then? " Hui Yin asked.

" He didn't say anything and the doctor only gave advice and cautions. "

" Does he still sleep with you? " Zhi Duyi frowned.

" No, he is sleeping in his room. " Zhi Ruo wanted to laugh. This dad of hers was very protective.

...

Coming back at the villa, Zhi Ruo brought back her documents to work at home and immediately went into her room.

After exhausting all the brainpower she had, Zhi Ruo decided to take a break and continued to test the new program she made.

Eventually, the sun disappeared and the maid, Lea, called her down to eat.

At the table, Hui Yin was worriedly asking Wang Yong about his health who politely answered with a light smile.

" Stay here as long as you want. " Hui Yin gently smiled.

" Thank you, auntie, " Wang Yong responded.

" No problem. "

After getting to know Wang Ying better, Hui Yin started to really like him. Not only was he a very handsome boy, but he was also very smart, caring and sensible. In the back of her mind, Hui Yin secretly hoped that if he stayed longer Zhi Ruo and Wang Yong could cultivate feelings and eventually marry.

After her daughter refused the previous engagement, Hui Yin was a bit scared that her daughter would end up alone. It's true that she was very young, beautiful and successful but seeing how cold her daughter was to outsiders and how she was always working, she started regretting a bit cancelling the engagement but if Wang Yong and Zhi Ruo hit it off...then it would be very good.

As the family harmoniously interacted in the living room where Hui Yin and Zhi Duyi was giving out souvenirs from their trip, the doorbell rang.

One of the maids opened the door and Zhi Ruo asked who it was.

" Who is it? "

" It's young master Li. " the maid walked in the living room with Li Cheng.

It took a few seconds for Zhi Ruo to remember who it was, ' Ohhhh...Its little ice cube...What is he doing here again? '

" It's nice to see you again, Mme Zhi, M. Zhi, young master Zhi and Miss Zhi. " Li Cheng calmly saluted.

" Hi, Mr. Li. How may we help you tonight? " Zhi Ruo who was sitting on the couch spoke in a cold voice.

" I am sorry to bother you so late at night but I wanted to talk to Wang Yong. " Li Cheng kept a natural smile, seemingly not at all bothered by Zhi Ruo's cold treatment.

" You guys know each other? " Zhi Chao asked curiously.

" Yes, I didn't recognize him at first as it has been a few years but now that I know he is my childhood friend, I would like to meet him. " Li Cheng explained.

Zhi Ruo frowned as she heard him speak.

" Someone called for me? " Wang Yong calmly walked out of the kitchen with a glass of milk for Zhi Ruo.

" Mr. Li said you guys were childhood friends. " Zhi Ruo accepted the glass as she told Wang Yong.

" Thank you. " Zhi Ruo held the warm cup of milk and sweetly smiled, looking like a cute cat. By reflex, Wang Yong rubbed her head with a light smile.

Li Cheng was extremely confused by their interactions and felt that his friend had betrayed him.

" Wang Yong, do you remember me? It's me, Li Cheng. We were good friends in high school. " Li Cheng walked toward him.

Wang Yong coolly looked at Li Cheng. Their gazes clashing.
