Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After ending the video call, Jing Yao held her cell phone in a daze.
Before Liang Xun went on a business trip, he said that it would take at least a week. It had only been four days now. After deducting the time spent on the road, it was only three days. Hence, no matter what, it would take at least three days to see Liang Xun.
How could it be that he said that he would see her soon? Jing Yao didn’t take it to heart.
After Liang Xun hung up, he removed the disguise on his face and leaned against the backrest, reaching out to ma.s.sage his temples.
Gu Yu sat in the front row. Seeing this, he said, “President Liang, why don’t 1 return the tickets and replace them with the ones later? You can have a good sleep.”
Liang Xun shook his head. “No need. 1’11 sleep on the plane.”
When the car arrived at the hotel, Liang Xun did not get out of the car and only let Gu Yu rest. Then, he got the chauffeur to bring him somewhere else.
Because of the video call at noon, Jing Yao wasn’t in the mood in the afternoon. She would be in a daze from time to time as she knitted a scarf.
Sun Jia was a little worried and even suggested that Shen Zhao sleep with Jing Yao tonight, but Jing Yao rejected her.
She had to listen to Liang Xun’s voice every night to fall asleep. How could she listen to that with Shen Zhao around?
Sun Jia went back after dinner. Jing Yao watched a movie with Shen Zhao and went back to her bedroom at eight o’clock.
She tossed and turned in bed for two to three hours before falling asleep.
She did not sleep well. She woke up at five in the morning. There was already a faint light outside that spread across the bed through the gaps in the curtains.
Jing Yao went to the bathroom and couldn’t fall asleep on the bed after coming out.
She had been waking up quite early recently, but Auntie Li would definitely be worried if she went out to see her so early. Hence, she could only lie on the bed and wait for time to pa.s.s in boredom.
She did not turn on the lights. She huddled under the blanket and looked at her cell phone.
She listened to the voice recording a few times and turned on Koi Live-Stream to watch the replay. When she was live-streaming back then, Liang Xun forcefully turned a solo live-stream into a two-person live-stream in the next few minutes. At that time, she was still shy and dissatisfied. She felt glad now.
She dragged the progress bar and watched the scene of Liang Xun over and over again.
It was rare to see Liang Xun’s face in the live-stream replay, because he had basically been looking at Jing Yao. He couldn’t hide the love in his eyes.
At that time, Jing Yao was so shy that she did not take a closer look at Liang Xun’s gaze. Now that she saw it through the screen, her heart ached and her eyes burned.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow. Yearning wrapped around her like a ball of yarn.
Jing Yao’s eyes were blurry from crying, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. She could only suppress her tears silently.
Liang Xun opened the door against the weak morning light. He did not dare to make too much noise and placed his luggage in the living room. He endured his longing and went to his bedroom on the second floor to take a shower.
He didn’t want to taint Jing Yao with the dust of running around.
After making himself refreshed, he returned to the first floor and gently pushed open the bedroom door.
The moment the door was pushed open, Liang Xun was stunned.
He thought that Jing Yao must be sleeping soundly at this moment. He could carefully hold her in his arms and sleep for a few hours.
But there was a faint light on the bed, and a soft snuffling sound.
“Yaoyao?” Liang Xun’s voice was trembling slightly as he walked to the bed anxiously.
Startled, Jing Yao looked up at the door.
She looked at Liang Xun in disbelief.
There were still mottled tears at the corners of her eyes.
Liang Xun strode to the bed and hugged Jing Yao after getting into bed. He asked in a low voice, his heart aching, “Why are you crying?”
Jing Yao buried her head in his chest and could not speak.
All kinds of emotions surged into her heart the moment she saw Liang Xun.
Shock, joy…
In the end, they all became his peace of mind.
Liang Xun leaned over and kissed Jing Yao’s head and forehead one by one.
Jing Yao took a deep breath. The faint fragrance of shower gel lingered on the tip of her nose. It was obvious.
She looked up at Liang Xun suspiciously. When she spoke, her voice was still a little hoa.r.s.e. “When did you arrive?”
Liang Xun’s gaze landed on her face. The deep love in his eyes seemed to be able to drown her.
“I just arrived. I went upstairs to take a shower. What were you looking at with your cell phone just now? Why are you crying like this?”
Jing Yao seemed to have woken up from a dream. She hurriedly retreated a little and lowered her head to look for her cell phone..
