Chapter 37: Why Are You Blushing Again?
The next day.
Around 7 AM, Tang Liyue woke up.
After a quick wash-up, she suddenly remembered, she had to head to Yu Mo Yuan’s place today and also grab some documents from his room.
His room…
The moment she thought about what had happened there before, her face started heating up.
“No! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about!” she told herself. “I’ll just grab the documents now while no one’s around. Otherwise, if someone sees me, it’ll be hard to explain.”
Tang Liyue patted her face to calm herself down, then carefully peeked outside her room.
Seeing that the hallway was quiet, she relaxed a little.
But maybe because she felt guilty, she still tiptoed toward Yu Mo Yuan’s door, carefully pushed it open, and quickly shut it behind her.
She was terrified that someone might walk by and misunderstand why she was in his room.
Yu Mo Yuan’s room was huge.
At the center of it stood a massive king-sized bed, and to her shock, the sheets were still the same ones from their “wedding night.”
Tang Liyue’s face burned up again.
She quickly turned her gaze away and walked over to the desk.
His room was a bedroom-study combo, and his desk was massive, almost as big as the one in his office.
On top of it were stacks of documents, neatly piled up.
It seemed like Yu Mo Yuan did a lot of work from home.
As the CEO, he had to manage the entire corporation, so it made sense that he was always busy.
But now, a problem, which document was he referring to?
Or… did he mean all of them?
Tang Liyue hesitated.
She wanted to message Yu Mo Yuan to ask, but when she looked at the time, it wasn’t even 7:30 AM yet.
“It’s still so early… He’s probably still asleep, right?”
Still, she sent a WeChat message.
【Tang Liyue: Second Uncle, are you awake?】
As she anxiously waited for a reply, Yu Mo Yuan sent back a voice message.
It was short, just one word.
“Speak.”
His voice was husky, low, and lazy, full of that morning drowsiness.
Hearing it, Tang Liyue’s mind flashed back to that night.
Back when she had been lost in his embrace, she vaguely remembered him whispering into her ear:
“I really like the scent of lily of the valley on you.”
At the time, his voice had been just like this, deep, rough, and intoxicating.
Tang Liyue’s eyes suddenly widened.
A thought popped into her mind, “Did Yu Mo Yuan just wake up… from another woman’s bed?!”
She was still stunned when suddenly, Her phone rang.
A video call request from Yu Mo Yuan!
Tang Liyue panicked.
She instinctively reached for the decline button, But somehow, her finger slid over to accept instead.
The moment she picked up, Yu Mo Yuan’s face appeared on the screen.
His handsome features were as striking as ever.
But what caught her off guard was, He was still in bed, completely shirtless.
And most importantly, The space beside him was empty.
There was no other woman there.
Yu Mo Yuan arched an eyebrow.
“Why are you blushing again?”
Tang Liyue panicked.
She quickly turned off the camera, stammering,
“N-no, it’s… it’s just the phone’s beauty filter!”
Yu Mo Yuan didn’t press the issue.
Instead, he said, “Turn on the back camera. Let me see the documents on the desk.”
“Oh! Right, okay!”
Tang Liyue hurriedly switched cameras and showed him the documents.
Yu Mo Yuan glanced at the screen and instructed,
“The blue files are already approved. Give them to the driver later, he’ll take them to Yuan Suo at the office.”
“The red files are for rejection. Once we’re on the plane, use your work email to send the digital versions back to their respective departments. Have them redone.”
Tang Liyue quickly nodded, still trying to cool down her burning face.
Little did she know, her reaction had greatly amused Yu Mo Yuan.
“Bring the gray folders on the far right as well.”
“Got it, got it.”
“Anything else?”
“No, that’s it!” Tang Liyue quickly replied.
The moment she finished speaking, Yu Mo Yuan hung up the call.
It was only after the call ended that she suddenly realized, She actually did have another question!
She forgot to ask how many days she’d be gone for.
Would she need to pack?
She quickly sent another message:
【Tang Liyue: Second Uncle, how many days will I be staying?】
Yu Mo Yuan responded almost immediately.
【Yu Mo Yuan: Until I return, roughly seven days.】
Tang Liyue typed out a quick “Oh, okay”, but before she could send it, another message from Yu Mo Yuan popped up.
【Yu Mo Yuan: The sea breeze is strong. Remember to dress warmly. If you catch a cold, I won’t be able to explain it to Minchuan.】
Tang Liyue stared at his message, feeling a bit dazed.
“Did Yu Mo Yuan just… tell me to dress warmly?”
“Since when does he say things like this?”
This message, it almost felt like he was actually concerned about her.
Tang Liyue mumbled to herself in disbelief,
“Maybe Yu Mo Yuan isn’t as cold and distant as I thought…”
With the documents in hand, Tang Liyue finally left Yu Mo Yuan’s room.
Just as she closed the door, she suddenly heard the sound of another door opening, Directly across from her.
Tang Liyue froze, then slowly turned around.
Sure enough, Yu Minchuan’s door had just swung open.
And standing there was Yu Qi, pushing Yu Minchuan’s wheelchair out of the room.
Yu Minchuan immediately noticed her.
He raised an eyebrow and greeted her,
“Good morning, Liyue.”
Tang Liyue panicked and blurted out,
“Morning! I, I was just grabbing some documents!”
Yu Minchuan smiled warmly,
“I know. You’re assisting Second Uncle now, it’s normal.”
Seeing that he didn’t overthink it, Tang Liyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, right, Minchuan,” she quickly added. “I wanted to tell you, I’ll be away on a business trip with Second Uncle. I won’t be back for seven days.”
Yu Minchuan paused, then nodded.
“Got it.”
“I’ll go pack my things now.”
“Mm, okay.”
As Tang Liyue walked away, Yu Minchuan’s warm smile gradually faded.
