After Shen Ruo Bai finally felt comfortable, he hugged her who was about to faint and humphed, "You're throwing a tantrum at me for no reason, and you're even abandoning me for no reason?"

Just as his body was recovering, he pressed her down on the desk again.

Shen Ruo Bai had been busy working at the company for half a month, and the company's loss of a few hundred million had finally been reaped, along with more than a billion dollars. Xie Yan was so happy that he almost jumped down from Shen Ruo Bai's office on the top floor.

Xia Jing agreed with no modesty at all and expressed that behind every successful man, there was a woman who silently sacrificed herself.

Su An An was speechless for a moment.

Ever since Xia Jing had received that message from him half a month ago, Xia Jing had not received any message from him, nor had she tried to find out anything regarding him.

Nearly half the day had passed, and the weather was still sultry.

After eating lunch, Xia Jing went to the flower room in the backyard. Although she took a few books from the study, they were the same as usual, she just threw them to the side and did not open a single page.

She hadn't liked reading since about half a month ago.

The flower room was very quiet, and the surroundings were also very quiet. Xia Jing was originally a person who liked peace and quiet, she really liked this kind of environment. Although she looked a little lonely, she still felt a lot safer here.

Shen Ruo Bai was busy with work, after all, he didn't have that much time to accompany her.

Seemingly sighing, Xia Jing tilted her head slightly, leaned on the rattan chair, and slowly closed his eyes. The faint sunlight shone through the sparse green leaves and onto a pure white dress. The person with his eyes closed looked up at the sky, appearing exceptionally elegant and refined.

Time leisurely passed between his fingers. When Shen Ruo Bai came in, the sunlight had already crawled along the white dress onto Xia Jing's face.

His expression was still as cold as ever, as he quietly stared at her sleeping appearance. Half of his handsome face was covered by a layer of light, making it hard to clearly see his expression. He didn't speak for a long time.

When Xia Jing woke up, she felt that something was blocking her head.

She was shocked, and when she raised her gaze, she discovered that Shen Ruo Bai was standing in front of her.

He retracted his hand and explained, "The sunlight is not suitable for sunbathing. I'll help you block it."

Then he bent down and took away the books he had closed, and sat down beside her.

"Did I sleep long?" Xia Jing tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.

"Sister Fu said that you came at a little time, at most two hours. It wasn't very long." With one hand, he lazily supported his head while with the other, he hooked a strand of her hair and twirled it around her finger. It was rare for her eyes to just stare at her hair in such a proper manner. The light inside of her hair was dark and indistinct.
