Chapter 605: My Heart is Cold and Thin, Only You Can Warm It
"Thank you."
Ji Weitian thought it was the assistant’s special care and expressed her gratitude.
The assistant quickly waved his hands, "This is the boss’s order. Miss Ji, if you feel tired, there is a resting room in the president’s office. I can take you there."
Ji Weitian declined.
She was waiting for Qin Nanyu to finish work so they could go back together.
She couldn’t quite explain why. When he was high and mighty, flourishing, she found him disagreeable in every way, yet it seemed only natural.
It was as if he was meant to shine brilliantly.
But when she heard he had been kicked out of his home, penniless and homeless, she should have taken the opportunity to mock him, saying he deserved it. Yet, the one who could least bear to see him looked down upon ended up being her.
Time and again, she compromised her principles for him, allowed him to stay at her house, allowed him to cling to her.
Ji Weitian shook her head, trying not to let her thoughts wander.
After all, Qin Nanyu was the biological father of her son and daughter. In a way, his downfall was partially her responsibility.
She was just providing him temporary shelter.
Once he got through this period, with his abilities, even without the protection of his family, he wouldn’t need anyone’s sympathy or care.
Ji Weitian waited a little longer, but Qin Nanyu was still not done.
She couldn’t help but yawn.
She had slept very late the night before and was constantly disturbed by Qin Nanyu tossing and turning, she hardly dared to sleep.
Working during the day and taking care of the two little ones, she was now so tired that her eyelids were fighting each other. Looking down at the magazine in her hands, she could only see rows of dizzying text.
She meant to hang on a little longer, but little by little her head nodded off and accidentally leaned against the backrest of the sofa, and she fell asleep...
Just as she fell asleep, Qin Nanyu, sitting in front of his desk, seemed to sense something and looked up at her.
He noticed her curled up on the sofa, her head resting on the magazine, and his deep, ink-like eyes softened with tenderness.
He didn’t rush over, but continued to finish his work.
Timing it just right, estimating that Ji Weitian had fallen into a deep sleep, he finally slowly closed the last document and stood up from his desk.
"Boss, do you want me to take you home?"
The assistant, holding files ready to leave, glanced at the sleeping Ji Weitian on the sofa and stopped to ask.
Qin Nanyu didn’t break his stride, simply saying, "No need, you go ahead."
Soon, the office was empty.
Qin Nanyu’s dignified figure sat leisurely in front of the sofa, propping his head up with one hand, seemingly never tiring of watching the Ji Weitian before him.
He was naturally indifferent, and in his wild youth, he always thought he would never meet someone who could catch his eye.
Who would have thought that one day, he would use every strategy at his disposal just to keep her by his side?
Qin Nanyu restrained his gaze and reached out to lift her from the sofa.
He moved very gently, fearing he might wake her.
Unexpectedly, she did not resist his embrace but snuggled deeper in dependence.
Qin Nanyu almost couldn’t move his legs.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and carried her to the resting room.
He was a businessman, shrewd in his calculations, but he still preserved his moral baseline.
He didn’t consider himself a paragon of virtue, but he was decent.
Yet seeing her lying unprotected in his bed, for the first time in his life, he wanted to be a scoundrel, to claim her for himself.
He had even prepared an excuse for himself: when she woke up, he could lay all the blame on her.
