Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO

In the afternoon, Jing Xinlei returned to her room with her book as usual. She went to the balcony on the second floor, sat on the swing chair, and flipped to the page she had read the last time. She continued reading.

However, she could not read calmly today.

She raised her wrist and looked at the timetable. It was only two o’clock.

Why did the time today seem to be much slower than usual?

Unable to read, she simply got up and prepared to lie down on the bed to take a nap.

However, she was still tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

In her mind, she suddenly recalled what Zhong Shenghao had said to her four years ago. “Why can’t You Open Your Eyes and look at me?”

What did he mean by that?

It sounded like he liked her, but in the past four years, he had never said anything Like’i like you’. Not only that, but now he was even walking together with Xiao ran… he.., what did he mean?

These troubles had been puzzling her, causing her to be unable to fall asleep for a very, very long time.

In the end, she didn’t know how she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

Zhong Shenghao returned home, but he didn’t see her on the balcony.

“Where is she?”

He turned his head and looked at the housekeeper. He couldn’t help but frown and ask.

The housekeeper smiled amiably. “When Miss came back, she stayed in her room and didn’t come out for the whole afternoon.”

Hearing the housekeeper’s words, he was startled and then walked to the door of Jing Xinlei’s room.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Knock, Knock, Knock!”

In the room, Jing Xinlei just woke up. Hearing the knock on the door, she instinctively thought it was the housekeeper.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open. She lifted the quilt and got off the bed. Just as she stood still, she raised her head and saw that it was Zhong Shenghao who walked in. She couldn’t help but be startled.

Looking at the sky outside the window, he had indeed returned home a long time ago.

But when she saw him, she couldn’t help but think of the lunch he had with Xiao ran.

She glanced at him but didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned around and walked to the bathroom to wash her face.

When she came out again, Zhong Shenghao was still standing there.

“Why did you come back early in the afternoon? Didn’t you have fun?”

She stopped in her tracks.

Happy?

Thinking about what happened in the restaurant, she lowered her eyes. How could she be happy after being talked about like that?

“Naturally, I’m not as happy as you guys!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, even she herself could feel that there was a strong sourness in her expectations.

Zhong Shenghao was stunned, as if he didn’t hear her clearly.

“What?”

“Nothing.”Her gaze was uncertain, as if she was avoiding him.

Then, she walked to the side, tidied up the quilt, and walked past him to go downstairs.

Zhong Shenghao stood still and frowned, looking pensive.

Then, he turned around and went downstairs.

At dinner, Jing Xinlei took the initiative to speak to him for the first time.

“Do you like Xiao Ran?”

Zhong Shenghao was surprised by this sudden question. He stopped eating and raised his eyes to look at her.

Like Xiao Ran?

“Why would you ask this?”

He liked her. Even if he didn’t say this directly over the years, his behavior was enough to prove his feelings. Why would she ask such a ridiculous question?

His rhetorical question made Jing xinlei think that he did not want to answer, and her heart sank.

“It’s nothing. If it’s not convenient to answer, don’t answer.”
