Chapter 20 Staying For The Night

Xiao Ye stood at the side and glanced at Chi Yaoxi. He unwillingly made an ‘oh’ sound as a form of agreement. “Who’s that man?” Xiao Ye couldn’t help but ask after pondering for a long time. “What kind of cake is he bringing over so late at night?”

Chi Yaoxi smiled guiltily and immediately cut him off. “Don’t ask anything you shouldn’t ask. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

Xiao Ye remained silent and went to the room to grab a blanket and pillow before throwing them onto the sofa.

Chi Yaoxi looked at him in surprise and asked doubtfully, “Why are you still here so late at night? Why did you bring out the blanket and pillow?”

“What do you think? Since you’re here, do something and play your part. Be a guardian angel. I’m afraid that strangers will knock on the door in the middle of the night. I’ll stay behind to protect you.”

“Aiya, who needs your protection? You should go back and rest.” Chi Yaoxi directly walked to the sofa, pulling Xiao Ye’s clothes, making him stand up.

Xiao Ye laid on the sofa but did not move. His face was expressionless and he had mixed feelings in his heart. His mood fell to rock bottom.

Who exactly was the man who delivered the cake? He was wearing a suit and leather shoes. One look and one could tell that it was from some high-end brand. He was stern, cold, and rude. Just his appearance was okay. His relationship with Chi Yaoxi was not ordinary.

Especially when he’d exchanged a glance with him earlier. It was obvious that he was hostile towards him, and even provocative. This caused Xiao Ye to feel very displeased in his heart, and he faintly felt jealous.

When Chi Yaoxi reached out to pull him up again, Xiao Ye simply lay down on the sofa and covered himself with the blanket.

“You don’t have to chase me away. I’ll stay on the sofa tonight. We haven’t finished discussing the investment. Besides, I’m feeling sleepy now. I came to look for you right after I got off the plane. Can you think about me for a while? We’ll continue the discussion tomorrow after I wake up.” After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he lay down and closed his eyes.

Chi Yaoxi was speechless. She could only let him lie on the sofa and wash up to sleep.

The next morning, Sister Ming came to talk to Chi Yaoxi about the script. The moment she entered, she saw a man lying on the sofa. Sister Ming widened her eyes in surprise. Who was this? The man had his eyes closed and was still sleeping. Sister Ming stole a few glances at him. He was really handsome. His facial features were well-defined and his nose was high.

After seeing him, Sister Ming was stunned. Who was this man? He was very different from the man who married Chi Yaoxi last time she saw him. What was going on with this Chi Yaoxi? How many times had she told her to pay attention to her image and influence in times of need? Yet, she had brought the man back to her room and stayed overnight! This was preposterous. Sister Ming looked up and saw Chi Yaoxi. She walked out slowly, brushing her teeth as if nothing had happened.

Sister Ming was so angry that Chi Yaoxi was stunned. She glared at her and said in a low but unusually strict voice, “Explain to me what’s wrong with this man?”

“Er…” Chi Yaoxi was very embarrassed by Sister Ming’s question. She quickly explained simply, “It’s a friend, a friend. He just returned to the country and is staying here for a night.”

Sister Ming was angry and frustrated. She had expected better from Chi Yaoxi. Frowning, she pointed at Chi Yaoxi and said fiercely, “You continue on with this. There’s nothing you don’t dare to do! I think the media will catch something big sooner or later!”

It seemed there was no way to discuss the script together. Sister Ming only came to take a look and left the room angrily. Chi Yaoxi rubbed her head, knowing that she had done something stupid again.

Looking at Xiao Ye who was still sleeping, Chi Yaoxi tugged at his arm. “Wake up, it’s morning! Someone will come later!”
