Chapter 1038: I'm Here

“Do you mind if brother sits down?”

Ye Wanting moved aside a little.

Yaen Chi had a single sofa by his feet, and there was a chaise lounge on the other side.

Ye Wanting sat in the middle of a two-seater sofa; it wasn’t long or wide.

She sat facing forward, her feet on the sofa, knees pressed against her chest.

Luckily, she was slim, curled up, making it possible for her to nestle completely into the sofa.

That sofa was probably where she felt safe.

But she still gave half of it to him.

Yaen Chi didn’t say anything else.

He walked over, glanced at his watch, deliberately read the time out loud to her, then grabbed a throw pillow and tucked it behind his waist, reclining against the back of the sofa.

Turning his head over, “I’m a bit tired, didn’t sleep well, and since it’s still dark, I’m too lazy to go back.

I’ll just nap here for a while.”

“Okay, sure.”

“You don’t have to stay with me.

If you want to sleep, go back to your room.”

“Okay.”

Couldn’t she say something else?

But being willing to respond was already a good thing.

Along the way, the scenes Yaen Chi imagined never appeared.

He always knew Ye Wanting was a brave girl.

She really was very well-behaved.

After a while, Yaen Chi actually fell asleep leaning against the sofa.

He was indeed tired, having had some drinks and flown over, with cold wind blowing several times.

His brain felt like it was being pricked with needles; once he settled down, all the physical exhaustion caught up with him.

Ye Wanting leaned against the armrest.

She was about to ask him to move over a bit when she noticed he was already asleep.

She swallowed her words and played with her phone for a while, holding back a lot, yet her hands still trembled significantly.

She put down her phone, staring blankly outside the window in a daze.

Unable to sleep, her mind was clear, but her body was very tired.

Finally, around six in the morning, she couldn’t hold on any longer.

She got up, walked around Yaen Chi’s long legs that had nowhere to rest, and gently walked into the guest bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, the man on the sofa opened his eyes.

He didn’t move, his eyes fixated on the bedroom door.

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, shook the pack, drew out a cigarette, and smoothly placed it between his lips.

When he reached for the lighter, he paused, and glanced at the bedroom with concern.

He didn’t smoke, tucking the cigarette behind his ear instead.

When Ye Wanting woke up again, it was already eight o’clock.

Yaen Chi had already left.

After washing up, someone knocked on the door.

Ye Wanting didn’t dare respond, peeking through the peephole.

The person outside seemed to have noticed and immediately explained:

“Hello, we are staff from the Imperial Garden.

Mr.

Yaen ordered breakfast to be delivered here.

Would you mind opening the door?”

Ye Wanting froze for a moment, “Oh, okay.”

She opened the door, reached out to receive it, but there were four waiters, each carrying food boxes.

Even with both hands, she couldn’t take them all.

After entering, the waiters automatically put on shoe covers, set the breakfast on the table, said “Please enjoy,” and then left.

Ye Wanting called Yaen Chi, “Brother Chi, the breakfast you ordered has arrived.”

“Okay, eat well, don’t worry about wasting.

I’ll come over later; save some for me if you don’t finish.”

“Where are you now?”

Yaen Chi chuckled, “Got some things to do.”

She couldn’t ask more.

Yaen Chi reassured her, “Don’t overthink, everything will be resolved.

Be good, eat the breakfast, and entertain yourself for a while.”

Ye Wanting felt a warmth in her throat, “Okay.”

She took out the breakfast, only eating a little of each item, leaving the rest untouched on the other side.

Judging by the time, today’s application result would come out, and the professor said she would definitely pass.

However.

An unexpected event.

Always arrives unexpectedly.
