Chapter 27: What’s The Difference Between This and Lying in Xie Yinhe’s Arms?

Tu Yuan walked into the lounge, a space that clearly reflected Xie Yinhe’s style.

It was similar to his office.

She picked up the remote and closed the curtains.

The room plunged into darkness.

Tu Yuan lay down on the bed. The bedding was clean, with a crisp, refreshing scent.

What was the difference between this and lying in Xie Yinhe’s arms?

It felt too intimate.

But she was so sleepy.

Tu Yuan, with her bold heart, only struggled for a few minutes before falling asleep.

This sleep was particularly deep. In her dreams, she tried to wake up but couldn’t.

It felt like she was being weighed down by a ghost.

As expected, a nap was like opening a blind box.

You could wake up feeling refreshed, or you could wake up feeling tired and groggy. You could even wake up to a pitch-black sky, feeling like a long time had passed when it was actually just a short while.

Tu Yuan tossed and turned in her bed for twenty minutes before finally getting up because she desperately needed to use the bathroom.

After taking care of her bodily needs, Tu Yuan opened the curtains. The orange sunlight flooded the room. She tidied up the messy sheets and duvet.

Back home, she was a hands-off manager, with maids to help her clean.

Now, she had learned to do it herself.

She left the lounge and walked into the spacious, bright office, but Xie Yinhe was nowhere to be found.

The loneliness and desolation of being abandoned by the world after waking up from a nap swept over her.

Tu Yuan felt a chill.

She walked out of the office.

“Hi!”

Si Feng walked towards her. “The CEO went out to meet clients. He said he’ll be going back to the old house alone tonight. I’ve arranged for a driver to take you home.”

“Thank you.”

“Did you sleep well?” Si Feng asked with a gossipy look.

“It was fine. Don’t get any wrong ideas. I slept alone. We didn’t sleep together!” Tu Yuan explained.

“I believe you. After all, our CEO is cold, abstinent, doesn’t get close to women, is self-disciplined and courteous, and a traditional man. Before marriage, he’s very good at controlling and suppressing himself.” Si Feng escorted her downstairs. “Hiss～”

Tu Yuan looked at him.

“Miss Tu, I heard that men are no good after 25. The CEO has been abstinent for so many years. He’s an old man. I think he should find a girlfriend soon!”

Tu Yuan was shocked.

Why was he telling her this?

Did a personal assistant also handle the boss’s personal life?

Was she qualified?

She wasn’t qualified!

“Is there such a saying? Then you…” Tu Yuan said softly.

“I have a girlfriend!!!” Si Feng exclaimed. “People with girlfriends are different from single dogs!”

Tu Yuan chuckled. “Okay, you say Xie Yinhe is a single dog.”

“Miss Tu, you don’t understand what I mean.”

Then what do you mean? Just say it clearly!

I hate riddles!

As they rode the elevator downstairs, Si Feng remained silent.

Tu Yuan took a car home. Meanwhile, Mo Yang stood at the door of the presidential suite, his figure tall and straight, holding a gift as he pressed the doorbell.

The door opened.

Tu Yue’s face appeared before him.

The front desk had told him that the suite was occupied.

He thought it was Tu Yuan.

But it was Tu Yue!!!

Mo Yang quickly concealed his disappointment, his expression calm.

No wonder she was so excited when she took the room card, without any hesitation. She wasn’t staying here herself.

“Mo Yang.”

Tu Yue opened the door with a cheerful smile. “Come in, come in. Why bring a gift? You’re too polite.”

Tu Yue was broke right now!

No matter what the gift was, he’d take it first and ask questions later.

Tu Yue took the gift and stepped aside. “Come in and sit down.”

He opened the gift and took out the pearl necklace inside. “This…”

It was clearly not for him.

“For Yuanyuan?”

Mo Yang explained, “That night, Miss Tu’s necklace was torn off by the assailant. I thought I’d compensate her with a new one.”

Tu Yue put the necklace back in the box. “Little Mo, you’re so thoughtful. You gave a year’s worth of free presidential suite, and now you’re giving a necklace. With a boss like you, I’m sure this hotel will be even more prosperous in the future!”

“As the hotel manager, I have an inescapable responsibility for the incident that happened at the hotel.” Mo Yang said in a polite tone.

Tu Yue could stay here.

Tu Yuan would come back to see her brother.

That way, they would have a chance to meet.

Mo Yang walked out. “If you need anything, just tell the manager.”

“Little Mo, you’re too polite!”

After seeing him off, Tu Yue closed the door, his gaze falling on the pearl necklace.

Most people wouldn’t be so responsible.

This Mo Yang was definitely up to something!

His sister was too beautiful. In the past, he was overjoyed. Now that his family was broke, beauty wasn’t an advantage anymore.

Instead, it would make more people covet her.

Yang Zhengbo was one of them.

But this Mo Yang, handsome and charming, was a classmate of Yuanyuan, and they were about the same age. He was also very good at handling people, and the Mo family had power, money, and connections.

If Mo Yang became his brother-in-law…

Not bad, not bad!

Good, good!

There’s a chance, there’s a chance.

——

The night enveloped Jing Shan Manor in a peaceful silence, the moon shining brightly.

A low-key black Rolls-Royce drove into the villa, stopping at the entrance. The soft lights fell down.

Drops of rain fell on the ground.

A pair of shiny black leather shoes stepped out of the car, stepping on the melting raindrops.

He hadn’t had a pleasant time with his elders tonight when he returned to the old house.

His sister had personally chosen his marriage partner, but they didn’t approve. So, even though they had been married for five years, he had never returned to the Xie family’s old house.

Now, they were starting to control him again.

He hadn’t even said he wanted to marry Tu Yuan.

They were already eager to give him a warning.

Xie Yinhe walked into the hall. The house was quiet and cold, just like him, dull and boring, without any excitement.

He walked up the stairs with a blank expression, loosening his tie and unbuttoning his shirt as he went.

He looked up and met Tu Yuan’s eyes at the top of the stairs.

Her hair was messy, she was wearing slippers, and she was walking towards him step by step, leaning against the wall.

“Not asleep yet?”

Tu Yuan shook her head. “No, I was waiting for you.”

She lay in bed playing with her phone, waiting.

As soon as she heard the car, she got out of bed.

No regrets, no regrets!

Xie Yinhe’s movements of loosening his tie and unbuttoning his shirt were so captivating.

Her brain, after watching too much Douyin, had already added the background music to his steps.

Tu Yuan was so stunned by his handsomeness that she almost forgot what she wanted to say. Xie Yinhe stood tall and slender in front of her.

“Waiting for me to do what?”

Back home, and still so domineering?

Which woman could tolerate his coldness, his tendency to suppress people with his powerful aura?

Tu Yuan silently stepped back. “I wanted to ask if I should start preparing to move out?”

Actually, after dinner, she had hesitated for a long time, wondering if she should pack her bags in advance.

To avoid being too embarrassed when she was kicked out tomorrow.

So, she couldn’t sleep because she was worried about this.

Her elders did have that intention.

He didn’t agree.

Jing Shan Manor was a gift from his grandfather when he was twenty.

He had moved out for almost seven years.

Everything here was his decision.

Including Tu Yuan’s stay.

Xie Yinhe’s eyes were dark and cold, and Tu Yuan felt a bad feeling.

“Actually, I can move out. Mo Yang just gave me a room card for the presidential suite. There’s more than one bedroom there. I can move in with my brother.” Her almond-shaped eyes met his, and she said softly, “Brother Xie, I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”
