Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 304 - 304 Haixiao Needs Beauty Sleep!

Wang Haixiao purposely yawned to let her hear and then entered his room. He didn't close his door and went to wash up. When he walked out and laid down on the bed, as per habit, he opened his phone and checked the stock market.

'I should invest more or it will be difficult to live the next month… she also needs money.' As the man thought, he invested thrice the amount. 

Wang Haixiao was confident in his mastery and proficiency. But the man didn't notice that his justification for investing so much albeit the risks was that Ji Yanli would be short in money for shopping if he failed to earn more.

But contrary to his worries, Ji Yanli didn't squander any more money on useless shopping till the time they lived here.

Wang Haixiao couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he struggled. He tossed and turned throughout the whole night. 

When it was 3 o'clock, he woke up and walked out. He was dazed to see that Ji Yanli was still busy completing her assignments. There were bowls and mugs beside the table. The girl made all preparations and was ready to remain awake the whole night.

He walked to her and said in concern, "Stop now. At least sleep for an hour."

But the woman didn't answer back. She was busy reading an article to get some motivation and to get some new ideas.

Wang Haixiao couldn't stand still when he saw her haggard appearance. He sat down beside her and consulted, "Let's discuss your matter. It will be done soon by this way."

Ji Yanli slowly raised her eyes and saw his face. Even though there was a spark of wrath in her chest, she didn't let it out. 

'Sigh! I don't blame you for sleeping while leaving me behind.' Ji Yanli didn't hold back and hurriedly gave the other person her tasks. 

While Wang Haixiao was busy scrolling around her words, Ji Yanli put her head on the back of her palm and closed her eyes. Some yawns escaped her pale lips.

Instantly, she dozed off into dreamlands.

"Yanli, I think you should…" Wang Haixiao stopped whispering when he saw the other party had fallen asleep. He hesitated to wake her up and sat beside her without making any disturbance.

His eyes adored her eyelashes which quivered for some reason. He reached out to rub the frown on her temple. 

Ji Yanli felt an unbearable itch on her skin and shook her head scarcely, avoiding his touch. Wang Haixiao took back his hand in lightning speed and thought. 'Is she awake?!'

But Ji Yanli didn't open her eyes. He was relieved. 

Ji Yanli was a heavy sleeper and he remembered for a long time.

Wang Haixiao took her arms and lifted her. In a princess carry, he wanted to take the person in his room so that she could rest but...

Ring~ Ring~

Wang Haixiao's entire body froze in its position. He hurriedly looked down and sighed in relief, "She didn't wake up." 

While murmuring in heart and feeling lucky, the man wanted to go forward with his plan but then... 

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

Ring~ Ring~

RING!!!

Wang Haixiao felt the impulse to drop the woman on the ground and then go back to smash her phone in tiny particles.

Right then Ji Yanli opened her eyes. She blinked her orbs and muttered in a daze, "Why are you carrying me?"

"Why else, to sleep with you." Ji Yanli's dizziness vanished. She remembered that her assignments didn't finish. 

In a panic, she asked as she tried to get down, "How much time has passed since I fell asleep?!"

By her huge reaction, Wang Haixiao felt that her whole world depended on his answer. 'If I say the morning has come?' But the man dismissed this thought because he knew that he would be hit countless times for joking.

"Not even five minutes." In the end, honest words came out.

Believing his answer, Ji Yanli patted her chest in relief. "Luckily… I don't want to get reprimanded by that old professor." 

The next moment, both of them squatted down as they started a chat about her tasks. Because of Wang Haixiao's assistant, Ji Yanli was able to finish it by the deadline.

When it was time to leave for the uni, before leaving the apartment, Ji Yanli clasped his face and gave him a deep kiss. 

"Thanks for the help, Haixiao. Tonight, I will make you dinner even if I burn down the kitchen." Ji Yanli smooched him a few times before she flew away. 

Her class was an hour before him so she had to rush always while he would be left behind to do the rest.

Wang Haixiao didn't move from his place as he tasted the sweetness from his lips. He turned around and went inside to take his backpack. The man forgot the latter half of Ji Yanli's words or else he wouldn't have been so relaxed.

After locking the door, he also left for the uni but he didn't expect that Ji Yanli was stuck with the car. 

"What's wrong?" The man rushed towards the car. Ji Yanli replied with uncertainty, "It's not moving. Something is wrong with the car!" 

Wang Haixiao understood her trouble. He walked around the car and saw that his one tyre didn't have air. 

"Oh, God! Yanli, Get down. We will have to hail a taxi to go today." 

Ji Yanli stopped fighting and stepped out. Even though she wished to be calm, her face betrayed her feelings as anxiety and worry were written on it.

In the end, she barely escaped the scolding of the professor as she got into the class in time. When she sat down on her seat, a whistle came from behind.

"Hey Lilia, have you done your assignment?" Hearing the voice which had the tinge of inquiring and interest, Ji Yanli immediately turned alert. 

With a swollen face, she turned around and sighed, "Ah, Ben. What to say? I was so busy playing around that only when the professor reminded us yesterday, I recalled it."
