Chapter 420 - 398 No Office Romance Allowed
"Not speaking?" The room had always been filled with only his voice. He slowly released her from his embrace, sat up, and grabbed the medicine from the coffee table. Using his hand, he pried her mouth open and stuffed the pill inside.The bitter taste immediately made her frown deeply. She then sat up from the sofa, and Yang Hexuan handed her a glass of water. She quickly took a few big gulps.
"It would’ve been better if you had just obediently taken it earlier."
Xia Yan put down the cup in her hand and asked him lightly, "What medicine is this?"
"Cold medicine."
Upon hearing this, she lay back down, seemingly afraid he would try to get in again. She tightly wrapped the blanket around herself on both sides.
"Go sleep on the bed."
"I’ll just sleep here."
While speaking, she couldn’t help but think that when she woke up in the morning, she was on the bed, and he was sleeping on the sofa, but she clearly remembered sleeping on the sofa...
She had already guessed it in her heart but didn’t ask to avoid awkwardness.
He also didn’t say anything more, slowly stepping away, turning off the light in the room, and gently closing the door.
Xia Yan watched, adapting to the darkness for a moment, and couldn’t help but shiver all over, finding it strange without his embrace...
She took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
After seeing that man again, it didn’t seem as sad as before.
On the contrary, she didn’t understand why she fell in love with such a man back then, one with no sense of responsibility, no commitment, and no understanding of hard work.
Perhaps what he wanted was a life of enjoyment, while what she could give was encouragement to keep striving, and that was probably the reason for their breakup.
She pulled the blanket higher over her head and quickly fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.
Yang Hexuan went downstairs. The group was sitting in the living room, and the television was showing a slideshow of the photos he took of them today.
Seeing the photos of He Ye and Jiajia together, Gu Qimiao teased, "Brother He, you and our Jiajia look so compatible together. Just be together already."
"Miaomiao!" Jiajia quickly snapped at her and explained, "Brother He just saw that I had never worn a wedding dress and wanted to fulfill that wish."
Gu Qimiao immediately said, "It’s hard to find such a good man, Jiajia. You should seize the opportunity and find a dad for your kid."
Jiajia quickly changed the subject, saying, "I’ll go check if the kid is awake." Then she hurriedly ran upstairs.
He Ye got up to follow, but Shen Yanchen said, "No office romances allowed."
He Ye paused, turned to Shen Yanchen, and said, "Brother Chen, are you trying to force me to quit? What did I do to you?"
Gu Qimiao quickly picked up on the key point and asked, "Brother He, do you really like Jiajia?"
He Ye smiled without saying a word and followed Jiajia upstairs.
An’an, sitting behind him, grumbled, "I knew there must be a reason why this playboy settled down. Turns out he found true love."
The slideshow in the video continued to play. An’an glanced at Dudu, who was sitting beside her, and then at the silent Shen Yiran on the other side.
She wondered in her heart, it was strange enough that he came along on this trip, and now it was even stranger that he’s watching photos with them instead of going back to his room after dinner. But looking at Dudu beside her, her doubts were partially answered.
Deliberately, she said, "Dudu, you didn’t even take wedding photos last time you got married!"
Dudu froze, not expecting the topic to shift to her, so she instinctively glanced at Shen Yiran, then laughed awkwardly and said, "We’ll take them later."
