When Chen Xi Wu woke up in the middle of the night and saw the handsome face of the man beside her, she felt as if she was still dreaming.
In three years, they had never been able to sleep peacefully in bed, snuggling against each other like they were tonight.
The bedside lamp was on, warm as honey, and it caressed the two of them like a big, gentle hand.
Chen Xi Wu quietly extended her finger to draw the outline of his figure, and her fingertip landed on the crease between his brows as she gently rubbed it.
His eyelashes were thick and black, curling up to cover the warm eyes and also hide the indifference and alienation hidden deep within his bones.
After drinking the wine and consuming a lot of physical strength, he slept soundly.
He and she tossed from the carpet to the stairs, from the stairs to the big bed in the bedroom, exploring each other, never tired of it.
That was crazy!
Lifting her hand to touch his hot cheek, she kissed him on the lips before cupping her arms around his slim waist and falling asleep.
What she didn't know was that the moment she closed her eyes, the man opened them. He looked at her with soft and lustful eyes.
How long was his life? The person who was with him could not live it!
He woke up at daybreak.
He held the woman in his arms. He didn't want to get up, but when he thought about the situation he could only allow himself a small amount of greed.
Half an hour later, he gently pulled her arm away and carefully got out of bed. He picked up his clothes from the floor and picked them up all the way from the bedroom to the carpet downstairs.
He took out his cell phone and saw a lot of calls. They were all from Abby.
A trace of mockery flashed across his mouth as he dialed a familiar number. "Bring me a set of clean clothes, a set of toiletries, and a bowl of Zhou Li's health care porridge. Bring it to the apartment number 99 on Jingan Road."
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Wen arrived at Chen Xi Wu's residence with a new set of clothes in his left hand and Zhou Ji's specialty breakfast in his right.
The door was ajar. He knocked on the door and walked in.
"CEO, your clothes, toiletries, breakfast."
He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the room. He walked over to Xi's side with his head lowered.
"Mm, put the things down and wait outside."
A deep, slightly hoarse voice rang out, and Zhang Wen bowed as he left.
After a quick wash and change of clothes, he looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Passing by the living room and taking a look at the breakfast on the coffee table, he took out a Post-it note from under the coffee table, left her a note, and walked out gracefully.
Chen Xi Wu woke up, and her arm subconsciously moved to her side.
Feeling the emptiness, he quickly opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the messy bed sheets around him.
If it weren't for the smell of his pillow, the room would still be filled with yesterday's happiness. She wondered if he had even been there.
He washed up and went downstairs. As soon as he entered the living room, he noticed the breakfast on the tea table.
She walked closer and picked up the pink heart-shaped Post-it. The words that were written on it were as flamboyant as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. The corners of her mouth naturally curled upwards.
[You have to eat breakfast. If you get cold, you must take it to the microwave to heat it up.]
Imagining the concentration on the man's face as he wrote, she smiled, narrowed her eyes, and carried the breakfast into the kitchen.
As he sat in the car, he closed his eyes to rest. The morning light fell on his delicate face and covered it with a layer of holy light.
Chang looked at him in the rearview mirror, and for some reason felt that the CEO was in a good mood. It had something to do with the apartment.
Perhaps his sight was too hot, but Xi Chao opened his eyes and said lightly, "Is there a road in the rearview mirror, or is there a road on my face?"
"I …"
His cell phone rang before he could explain.
He took out his cell phone and answered. With a frown, his voice turned cold, "I'm almost at the company. Let's talk when we get back."
