Li Shengxiao’s gaze had been fixed intently on the laptop, and even though not a single word had sunk in, he was trying to concentrate.
He had barely finished the first page, just starting to get into the zone, when the soft sound of the sleeping person beside him smacking their lips reignited the restlessness that had just subsided within him, flaring up from his lower abdomen.
Was this woman truly fearless, or did she have too much faith in his self-control?
It seemed that work was out of the question today!
“Sigh.” Li Shengxiao let out a long breath, turned off the laptop, and placed it aside. Without much thought, he turned off the room lights, and in the darkness, he scooped the girl sleeping alone on the side into his embrace. His arms were filled with softness and warmth, the scent unique to Rong Yan!
In an instant, all anxiety and irritability vanished. She was like a medicine that entered his body, making his ailments and insomnia seem inconsequential when she was with him. Sleep, which had been long absent, crept upon Li Shengxiao, and without resistance, he slowly closed his eyes…
Rong Yan took three days to recover, during which the wound on her shoulder had almost scabbed over. The healing was so rapid that Cui Jiangjing kept nagging her to have a comprehensive check-up, wondering why her body healed so well—all of which Rong Yan deftly deflected with various excuses.
During her three-day hospital stay, Li Shengxiao stayed with her, even having his secretary bring work files to the hospital during the day.
After he reviewed and signed them, the secretary would take them back to the
company.
Every time someone from his company came, Rong Yan had to hide, which made her feel like some secret mistress.
But it wasn’t Li Shengxiao who asked her to hide; she chose to do so herself.
It wasn’t until the morning of the fourth day, when she opened her eyes, that she unexpectedly found herself alone.
“Miss Rong, you’re awake… Mr. Li had an important meeting this morning and has already left for the company. He specifically ordered us not to wake you up.” Rong Yan had just washed up and come out when the entering butler noticed she was awake and quickly served her a glass of honey water, softly explaining.
Li Shengxiao had gone to a meeting? No wonder she hadn’t seen him that morning. Rong Yan wasn’t particularly surprised, after all, Li Shengxiao’s status meant a busier schedule than most, and it had been a stretch for him to spare three whole days to be with her. She couldn’t expect him to stay in the hospital forever.
“Thank you, Uncle Butler.” Rong Yan took the cup of water with a slightly embarrassed smile and thanked him politely before saying, “I understand.”
The old butler liked her and passed her a tissue while she drank, saying, “Before Mr. Li left, he instructed me to tell Miss Rong that if you need to reach him, you can call or message his mobile phone anytime, and he will respond when he sees it.”
The young master usually detests being disturbed during work, yet he’s willing to be available for Miss Rong 24 hours a day, which shows just how significant she is to him.
Rong Yan didn’t read much into it; she wasn’t aware that Li Shengxiao usually turned off his phone for work and assumed it was a normal precaution. She nodded and said with a smile, “Okay, got it.”
The old butler continued to chat a bit more before going out to call the doctor for her daily checkup.
Rong Yan was about to take this moment to check on her notebook for the promotional video that had been released earlier when her phone rang.
“Hello, Estelle.”
Ever since they parted at the film set, Estelle hadn’t contacted her in days, and Rong Yan had forgotten to notify Estelle that she was staying in the hospital..
