"..." Shu Nian's face turned red so much that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.
Looking at Ye Yan who was sleeping soundly with his head buried in the pillow, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Give me a massage." Ye Yan lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He put his hands behind his back and gestured casually, muttering vaguely, "I feel sore everywhere from sleeping on that sofa."
He had a somewhat lazy look on his face, which made him look extremely handsome.
Shu Nian was distracted for a moment, then she came back to herself and felt that she was so useless. When did she become like Wanting and become obsessed with Ye Yan
but…
He gave up his bed to himself and slept on the sofa. Shu Nian was surprised but also touched.
She pressed his shoulders through the quilt. Having worked as a nurse for several years and giving massages to patients many times, Shu Nian's massage skills are comparable to those of professionals. Ye Yan felt comfortable all over and was about to fall asleep again.
"Why did I end up in your bed last night?" Shu Nian asked.
"Are you sleepwalking?" he asked her instead.
"I don't have a habit of sleepwalking."
Ye Yan raised his eyebrows, and his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her, "So you have a crush on me and want to sleep with me?"
Shu Nian hit him on the back, "..."
This is the first time I’ve seen such a narcissistic person!
"Thank you for last night." Although Ye Yan was not serious, Shu Nian thanked him seriously. After thinking for a while, he said, "But in the future... we still have to avoid suspicion."
There's nothing normal about sleeping in a man's bed.
Ye Yan opened his eyes and stared at her, "What do you mean?"
She could feel his burning gaze, but she didn't look at him. She just focused on her massage movements and said lightly: "I know you never care about other people's opinions. But, I'm a married woman, and some things... will be a little troublesome."
Ye Yan's face turned colder. "You mean, I gave you my bed out of kindness, but it caused you trouble?"
Shu Nian didn't say anything. She didn't want to cause trouble for him. After all, spreading rumors about a married woman was not a good thing.
Her silence was a tacit agreement to Ye Yan.
Ye Yan's temper always came out of nowhere. He turned around and pushed her hand away, "Don't press it. Go out now."
"..." Shu Nian opened his lips to say something, but Ye Yan interrupted him irritably, "I know you are a married woman, there is no need for you to remind me again and again."
"Then I'll go out first."
Shu Nian glanced at him and didn't stay long.
As soon as she left, Ye Yan felt uncomfortable all over. The words "married woman" kept drilling into his brain like an electric drill, making every nerve hurt.
———
When Shu Nian walked out of the ward, her cell phone started to ring. She glanced at the screen, her expression darkened, and she answered the phone and put it to her ear.
"What's up?"
"Where were you last night?" Xiang Muyang's voice came from the other end.
Apparently, he called to question her because she didn't come home last night.
"in hospital."
"If you were in the hospital, why did you hang up on me the entire night?"
Shu Nian was puzzled for a moment. When did he call him? He didn't ask, but just pressed the phone to the call record to confirm. Sure enough, there were several calls that were hung up. This could only be the masterpiece of Master Ye.
"Mr. Xiang and your secretary didn't have a good time last night, how come you still have time to call me?"
"Shu Nian, I really wasn't with anyone last night. I just drank too much at the party and found a room in the hotel to sleep in."
"...Oh." Shu Nian replied indifferently. She didn't even want to seriously think about whether this sentence was true or not. When a person is numb, the truth of the matter is no longer important to her.
Xiang Muyang was silent for a while. When Shu Nian was about to hang up the phone, Xiang Muyang suddenly asked, "Does Ye Yan really want to pursue you?"
"Don't involve other irrelevant people in our affairs." Shu Nian didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Yan for no reason. "Nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Shu Nian hung up the phone directly.
Over there, Xiang Muyang sat in his office, listening to the beeping sound on the phone, and finally hung up the phone with some embarrassment. Recently, he and Shu Nian had been drifting further and further apart without realizing it.
This was not the result he wanted.
Although he really cared about her past, he couldn't just let it go.
"Boss Xiang, Madam Xiang is here." Just as he was thinking, he heard the secretary's voice. He looked up and saw that the door had been pushed open from the outside, and his mother pushed the door open aggressively.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xiang Muyang was surprised. He told his secretary, "Close the door. If there's nothing wrong, don't come in."
Mrs. Xiang sat down on the sofa and put her bag aside. "Why am I here? If I don't come to you to vent my troubles, your wife will be mad at me to death!"
Xiang Muyang knew that she and Shu Nian were not on good terms, so he half leaned over, held Xiang's mother's hand, and coaxed her: "Mom, why are you still arguing with Shu Nian? You know she is young. Don't be angry. If you get angry, you will get wrinkles and it will not look good."
"I don't care! Divorce her! I don't like her."
"Mom, you've been saying this for two years."
"That's right. I've been saying this for two years, but have you ever listened to a word I said?" Xiang's mother looked at him coldly.
Xiang Muyang sat down on the sofa and said, "I don't agree. This is a matter between Shu Nian and me. Please don't interfere."
Madam Xiang was even more angry. "You don't agree? Humph! I think, soon, even if you don't divorce her, she will divorce you! When I was teaching her a lesson last night, a young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere to defend her. From the looks of it, it seems that the relationship between the two is not simple! Who knows, she may have cheated on you countless times!"
Xiang Muyang's face changed.
"Young man? Over 185cm tall?"
"yes!"
"Black suit, white shirt? There's a diamond button on the collar of the shirt."
"That's right!"
Xiang Muyang tightened his hands a little.
Xiang turned to her mother and clung to her son's arm, "Why? Do you know him? Is he really Shu Nian's mistress?"
"Impossible!" Xiang Muyang denied his mother's idea, "Do you know what the background of that boy is?"
"How should I know? I've never seen him. But... judging from his demeanor and temperament, he's definitely not an ordinary person."
"You are right. He is indeed not an ordinary person. You must have heard of the term 'Night Owl'."
Xiang's mother's eyes widened, "You mean... he is the young master of the Ye family and the Bai family?"
Xiang Muyang snorted and laughed, "So, with his status, do you think he would fall in love with a married woman?"
Mrs. Xiang also thought this was impossible. So it seemed that he was just defending himself last night.
