Chapter 489: Sleeping Here Is Not Sleeping
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao occasionally felt dazed.
He was clearly only a fourth -year student, but when she saw Huo Yichen sitting in the office and dealing with the matters in an orderly manner, she felt that it was not strange at all.
Not long ago, they were sitting in the library and laughing as they studied together. In the blink of an eye, he had become an existence that could hold up the sky.
“Are you full just by watching me eat?” Huo Yichen’s smiling voice pulled her wandering thoughts back.
“Huh?” Murong Qiao replied subconsciously.
Then, she realized that he hadn’t eaten and finally came back to her senses.
Murong Qiao took a bite of the steamed bun. “Don’t you know that beauty is delicious?”
Murong Qiao’s m.u.f.fled voice barely came out of the delicious food to reply to Huo Yichen. She sighed in her heart that this steamed bun tasted quite good.
After biting through the thin outer skin, the juice filled with freshness overflowed and came into contact with her taste buds. Then, the delicious taste contained in the hot filling bloomed, immediately filling her heart with happiness.
Murong Qiao, who couldn’t stop after taking a bite, decisively picked another one. In the end, she ate too quickly and the juice inside spilled out from her mouth and dripped onto her clothes, creating an especially abrupt and ugly mark on the pure white base.
Huo Yichen hurriedly pulled out a piece of tissue to help wipe it off, but at this moment, Ye Zhen pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Huo Yichen reach out as if to press against Murong Qiao’s chest, Ye Zhen’s mind went blank for a moment, and he even forgot what he wanted to say.
Knowing that Murong Qiao was here, Ye Zhen specially came over a little late, planning to report to Huo Yichen. In the end, he didn’t expect to b.u.mp into such a scene.
Coincidentally, he didn’t manage to keep hold of the doc.u.ments in his hand. The sound of it falling instantly attracted Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s attention.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in silence.
Am I… really not going to be fired?
This was the only thought left in Ye Zhen’s heart.
When he met Huo Yichen’s gaze, he was on the brink of tears, but he found it difficult to say anything. He didn’t know how to explain that he didn’t mean to disturb the two of them.
“Just leave the doc.u.ments here,” Huo Yichen said.
As long as the person involved didn’t feel awkward, it was not a big problem.
Ye Zhen felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly put down the doc.u.ments. However, his appearance reminded Huo Yichen of something else.
He flipped through the schedule. “Are you free today?”
“Huh?” Murong Qjao sounded puzzled.
As she was still eating, Murong Qjao could only nod in response.
In order to accompany Huo Yichen for the entire day, she was very sincere.
Huo Yichen, who understood Murong Qiao’s answer, raised his eyebrows. There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, as if he was happy.
“That’s good. Why don’t you accompany me for a meal later?” Huo Yichen recalled Jiang Wenxu’s invitation.
Regardless of whether he really wanted to talk about a collaboration, bringing Murong Qiao to eat could also warn the other party to keep an eye on Jiang Weiyang.
He believed that Jiang Wenxu would not destroy his cooperation with the Huo Corporation just to dote on his Little Sister.
Murong Qiao agreed without asking.
Unfortunately for the pitiful Jiang Weiyang, she was still trying on clothes at the Jiang family’s house and didn’t know what dog food she was going to eat in the afternoon.
“Do I look good in this?” She stood in front of the mirror and spun around. “Actually, that one just now was not bad either…”
Her words were filled with hesitation.
It had been a long time since they last met. She had to leave a good impression on Huo Yichen.
The red one was flamboyant and beautiful. It was obvious that it suited her very well, but wouldn’t this be too loud?
The blue one was also good-looking. It accentuated her figure…
Jiang Weiyang was in a dilemma. From time to time, she would ask the servants beside her for their opinions. She fantasized about meeting Huo Yichen in the afternoon.
“Young Miss, you naturally look the best in anything.” The servant smiled and echoed.
However, Jiang Weiyang probably didn’t understand a principle.
If she was not the right person, no matter how well she dressed, she would not catch Huo Yichen’s eye.
There was only one person in his heart, and it could only hold one person.
At this moment, this person was pressing him down fearlessly and forcing him to rest on the bed in the break room.
“Take a nap. Otherwise, your dark circles will look even worse.” Murong Qiao pressed against him half-forcefully.
Although it was called a break room, in fact, the arrangements here were handled by Ye Zhen. It was more like a presidential suite. Other than the fact that it was not too luxurious, it was completely a good place to rest.
It even featured the design of the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing people to stand at the side and look down at the beautiful scenery of the city.
However, the owner of this place was really not in the mood to admire it now. His attention was all focused on the person staring at him.
In the office break room with the person he loved, it was inevitable that he would overthink when he was relaxed.
Murong Qiao looked at the silent Huo Yichen. Just as she was wondering why the other party did not reply to her, she felt a pull on her arm and was brought to the bed.
A warm breath suddenly came from her neck. The hot breath sprayed on her porcelain-white skin and ears, causing a faint red color, causing an itch to spread throughout her body.
“Ah Chen?” Murong Qiao’s voice trembled slightly.
Although she was happy, this office environment was too exciting.
In an instant, countless colorful images flashed through Murong Qiao’s mind. Coupled with Huo Yichen’s face, her face instantly turned red.
Huo Yichen’s amused voice sounded above her head. “What are you thinking about?”
He asked even though he already knew the answer. When he saw Murong Qiao’s embarra.s.sed and red face, it also had a different flavor.
“Ahem.” Murong Qiao coughed dryly.
She turned her face away and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she hurriedly cleared away the strange thoughts in her mind.
Fortunately, Huo Yichen did not go overboard. “Sleep with me for a while.”
It was fine to tease her a little, but it wouldn’t be fun if he teased her too much.
Knowing Murong Qiao’s personality very well, Huo Yichen stopped while he was ahead. He reached out to hug the other party and actually closed his eyes to take a nap.
Murong Qiao hummed gloomily and p.r.i.c.ked up her ears to listen to Huo Yichen’s steady breathing. After hearing that his breathing seemed to have lightened, she slowly looked up.
In the end, her eyes met Huo Yichen’s.
??? He was pretending?
“If you’re like this, I might really not be sleepy anymore,” Huo Yichen said seriously this time.
These words made Murong Qiao’s heart skip a beat.
Without thinking, she reached out to cover Huo Yichen’s eyes, trying to hide her actions from him.
“Go to sleep!”
Her shouting voice was decisive.
If he didn’t sleep now, he might not be able to sleep again.
This time, Murong Qiao really didn’t look up. She buried herself in Huo Yichen’s arms and stopped peeking.
However, she originally thought that she would not be able to sleep, but in fact, in just a few minutes, she lost her consciousness in the familiar fragrance, causing her consciousness to gradually sink into her dream.
The quality of this sleep was unexpectedly high. When Murong Qiao woke up, she was the only one left.
The s.p.a.ce beside her was already empty. The blanket was carefully covered over her.
Realizing that she had slept longer than Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao sat up in frustration and rubbed her eyes, planning to look for him.
There was a low conversation outside. It sounded like Huo Yichen and Ye Zhen..
