After quietly smoking a cigarette, Ye Cheng tossed the cigarette butt on the ground before he put it out with his foot. To him, marrying a woman he did not love but was useful was not painful, but a blessing. However, since he had someone else in his heart, it felt rather painful.
Zhuang Ning was reading a script when Ye Cheng arrived. When she saw him, she only looked at him indifferently before she returned to reading her script.
Ye Cheng knew she could not be disturbed at a time like this. He sat on the couch and silently looked at her side profile. It was said that a man was most attractive when he was working hard; the same was true for women.
Ye Cheng felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier. He was always tired, but he could only completely relax when he was with Zhuang Ning. At some point, he fell asleep and began to dream.
There was always a knot in his heart that could not be untied, and he knew it was Ye Xin.
At this time, he saw Ye Xin dressed in a white dress, looking at him coldly.
He sighed inwardly and thought that Ye Xin was truly a beautiful girl. In fact, her facial features were even more stunning than Song Ning’s. Alas, she was too spoiled. It naturally had a lot to do with how she was raised. She was pampered by their parents and him.
“You’re my brother! If you don’t stand on my side, are you going to stand on that b*tch’s side? I don’t care, you have to teach her a lesson! She took my money, but she dares to help that b*tch, Ning Xia! Brother, you have to teach her a lesson!”
Ye Xin’s words were vicious, but he only felt sorry for his sister because he loved his sister. As usual, he went along with her and asked, “Alright, alright. Tell me, how do you want me to teach her a lesson?”
Ye Xin thought for a moment before she said fiercely, “I want her face destroyed so she won’t dare to see anyone again!”
Since Ye Xin cared about her appearance the most, naturally, the most horrendous punishment she could think of was to ruin another woman’s appearance.
Ye Cheng sighed as he watched his dream self agree to his sister. “Alright, alright. We’ll let her live a life worse than death, okay? We’ll destroy her face and let her live like a street rat. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
With that Ye Xin slowly calmed down.
At this moment, Ye Cheng suddenly jolted awake when he felt the sensation of a blanket gently placed on his legs. He opened his eyes and saw Zhuang Ning.
Zhuang Ning said expressionlessly, “You’re awake?”
Ye Cheng hurriedly sat up, causing the blanket to fall, as he said, “Sorry, I fell asleep.”
Zhuang Ning sat on the couch across from him and began to brew a pot of tea.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that the way she brewed tea was really similar to Yang Li. In the past, Yang Li would sometimes personally brew tea for Ye Xin’s guests.
Ye Cheng did not take Yang Li seriously. In front of Ye Xin, it was natural that Yang Li did not have the status and treatment that managers usually had.
Zhuang Ning set a small teacup down in front of him before she said with a hint of reproach, “You’re so tired. Why don’t you go home and rest?”
Ye Cheng took a sip of the tea and looked at her. “Recently, I’ve been sleeping very poorly. I can only sleep peacefully when I’m with you.”
Zhuang Ning paused briefly before she looked at Ye Cheng and said with a smile, “Your words can easily cause misunderstandings.”
“What misunderstandings?” Ye Cheng smiled.
Zhuang Ning did not answer him.
Ye Cheng said in a low voice, “I really want to stay next to you all the time. I just want to sleep well.”
