Chapter 48 - Wanting to Kill (1/2)

The following morning, Yu Huiyin woke up to find herself alone in the bed. She could not help but wonder where Xie Jingyu was, and for some weird reason, a sense of loss was evident in her heart.

The uncomfortable feeling was hard to describe, and she quickly ignored it, unwilling to dwell on it. She did not even bother to consider why she had such emotions when she woke up alone in the bed.

Tying her hair up into a bun, she went to the bathroom, where she washed up and changed her clothes.

After this, she began walking down the hallways until she finally reached the dining room, where Xie Jingyu was seated in front of the table. One leg was crossed over the other, he held a newspaper in his hands, and a cup of tea was on the table alongside a scrumptious breakfast meal.

A smile bloomed on Yu Huiyuin's lips as she saw him, and it was as if her heart finally settled down, but then her smile turned to a frown, and her heart ached.

Xie Jingyu had black circles under his eyes; they were filled with exhaustion.

When she had gone to sleep the previous night, he had not been in the bed, and now, when she woke up, she had not seen him either. Had he even gotten any sleep last night at all?

Unaware that the culprit causing him to lose sleep was herself, Yu Huiyin felt distressed.

This distress was seen by Xie Jingyu when he raised his head and noticed that she had entered the dining room, and he was slightly puzzled. Why was she distressed? Had someone bullied her?

At this thought, his mood turned foul. Who dared bully his dearest wife? They must have a death wish!

”Did you not sleep last night?” Yu Huiyin asked, unaware that her voice contained an immense amount of worry and unhappiness.

”I did not get any sleep last night,” he said with a nod of his head. How could he possibly sleep with her rubbing herself all over his body?

No ordinary man would be able to sleep well with their beloved acting like this?

Hearing this, Yu Huiyin was distressed. ”Is work really so hard that you can't get any sleep? Did you at least drink the honeyed water I prepared for you? Are you feeling okay now? Do you have to go to the office now, or will you be able to go to bed and get a few hours nap?”

Yu Huiyin bombarded Xie Jingyu with questions, but instead of feeling frustrated, he felt relieved. So the thing that troubled Yu Huiyin was not someone bullying her, but instead her having heartache about him not sleeping.

When this thought surfaced in his mind, it was as if his damaged brain was suddenly renewed with life. His Yu Huiyin was finally starting to care about him. She was actually distressed for him!

”Don't worry,” the expression on Xie Jingyu's face was full of tenderness and affection. ”I can work without sleep. It was just one night, don't worry about me. Your honeyed water was refreshing and helped me feel much better.”
