Ye Lanchen froze in his actions upon remembering the last time Chu Wuyou spoke in this manner.
It was when she had instructed her darling Tang Zhimo to stop messing around.
Was that the person she was thinking about at that moment as well?
His face fell pondering over the possibility and his eyes narrowed slightly. He tightened his fingers around her waist.
He realized he wanted more from her.
The man craved not only to be the person she was with all the time when she was awake but also the person in her mind when fast asleep.
However, he knew that was probably impossible. How could she be thinking about him while sleeping when she did not even think about him during the day?
A silent sigh escaped his lips before he lowered his head to kiss her again. He wanted to kiss her awake so he would be the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.
“Ye Lanchen, bugger off. I want to sleep.” She suddenly extended her hand to whack him on the head.
It was not a forceful slap but the man paused in his action anyway, thinking that she was already awake.
However, when he turned to look at her later, he found out the woman still had her eyes closed.
This caught the man by surprise. He appeared in a daze as he watched the woman sleeping peacefully.
All of a sudden, she rolled to her side and nestled her face into his chest. She readjusted herself into a more comfortable place and dozed off again.
He froze for a couple of seconds. Then, the corners of his lips slowly curled upward into a smile.
Did this mean that Ye Lanchen was slowly replacing the position of Tang Zhimo in her heart? Therefore, he was the person she thought about in her sleep, instead of that other guy whom he still had no idea about even until now.
However, he had already instructed his men to find out more about Tang Zhimo. He would not show mercy once he figured things out…
He did not disturb the woman again. It was about seven in the evening when she finally woke up.
It was already dark outside but he did not turn the lights on.
Chu Wuyou opened her eyes and darkness was all she could register. Startled, she stretched her arms outward and sighed in relief when she found the man. It suddenly dawned upon her that something was not right. “Ye Lanchen, why are you sleeping in a seated position at night?”
He could not resist a chuckle at her words. It appeared that the silly girl was still not fully awake yet.
The man retrieved his cell phone to illuminate the room with its faint light. With that, she finally realized they were not in the hotel but the meeting room.
“The meeting is over?” She scratched her nose awkwardly as a feeling of embarrassment washed over her.
How long had she been sleeping?
“Yeah,” he replied softly without explaining further.
The bright and highly observant woman instantly realized they were the only people in the dark meeting room, not to mention that it was eerily silent on the outside too. That meant the meeting was over a long time ago.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Another wave of embarrassment filled her face with redness.
“I did, but you scolded me, asking me to bugger off,” he replied with a faint smile although curiosity filled his eyes. He wished to find out if the woman said that when she was sober or still in sleep.
There was a huge difference between the two in his opinion…
“It can’t be? I scolded you? I never do that to anyone.” She glared at him with eyes filled with disbelief.
