Chapter 107: Even their backs exuded resentment.

"Tell me first, what do you mean by 'gone'?"

Su Wanwan told him what she had heard, "Uncle Meng's personality, how should I put it, once he makes a decision, there is probably no room for negotiation."

"Has it been announced to the world?" Xie Yanning asked.

"That's definitely not it, otherwise I would definitely know. It's probably just that they're communicating with each other internally. Our big family has this problem." Su Wanwan complained without any restraint.

Back then, her grandfather and the merchant were the same. Fortunately, her family wasn't powerful, otherwise she would have had to put on a show of fighting against her family.

Xie Yanning tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair without saying a word.

"Whether you tell me or not is up to you."

Su Wanwan wasn't familiar with either of them, and she didn't know the state of their relationship. What if their feelings for each other had faded over the years, which would be exactly what they wanted? How awkward would that be for her?

“Don’t worry about it,” Xie Yanning said. “I’ll find an opportunity to talk to him. As for how to make a choice, that’s his own business. We can’t help him.”

Xie Yanning went out for a while.

When I got back, I told her that the boss had run away overnight.

"..." Su Wanwan: "If he had this kind of initiative, why didn't he do it sooner?"

Xie Yanning took off his coat, went to the bed, and hugged her: "Don't worry about him, worry about me more."

Su Wanwan was heartbroken: "He's your brother!"

“It’s not like I’m the one who got rid of his wife,” Xie Yanning said, feeling that he had done more than enough. “In my opinion, he should be taught a lesson, let him be proud of himself, and keep strutting around like an invincible rooster.”

Su Wanwan was amused by Xie Yanning's description.

You know what, it really does look quite similar.

"Shouldn't you show some concern for your boyfriend if you're laughing?" Xie Yanning asked, leaning closer.

When have I ever stopped caring about you?

"just."

"..."

Su Wanwan placed her hand intimately on his muscular chest and leaned closer to say, "Then, Professor Xie, how do you want me to take care of you?"

...

Just as things were getting into the swing of things, my phone rang like a death knell.

Xie Yanning remained unmoved, his lips, tongue, and hands still stirring up trouble: "Never mind."

Su Wanwan didn't want to care, but the ringtone was too loud, so she pinched his waist to remind him.

Xie Yanning had no choice but to let go, a rare look of annoyance appearing on his face. "Who is it at this time?!"

Can't you just cuddle with your wife and sleep at this time?

Xie Yanning sat up and picked up her phone from the other side of the bed.

As she had to get past Su Wanwan, she saw the incoming call notification: Shu Yangqiu, if she remembered correctly, his business partner.

"You'd better have something important to say."

After hearing something said over there, Xie Yanning's brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

"Something urgent has come up over there, I need to take care of it first." Xie Yanning took a deep breath and gently stroked Su Wanwan's still flushed face: "You go to sleep first, it might be quite late."

"……good."

She felt that Xie Yanning's back view was full of resentment.

After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Su Wanwan couldn't fall asleep, and she sighed softly.

Now I finally know what it feels like to be unsatisfied.

She got out of bed and poured herself a glass of ice water.

Thinking about it, she poured a glass for Xie Yanning as well.

"Have some water." Xie Yanning's fingers flew across the keyboard, seemingly fiddling with something.

Xie Yanning took a sip and said, "Thank you." Realizing it was ice water, she gave her a meaningful look.

Su Wanwan replied matter-of-factly, "I'm thinking of you."

Xie Yanning smiled and said, "Then thank you, Dr. Su."

Su Wanwan was bored and didn't want to stay in bed alone, so she pulled up a stool and sat down next to him, watching him type away on the computer.

Xie Yanning ruffled her hair. "Can't sleep?"

"Yes, without Professor Xie, the nights are long and I can't sleep."

Su Wanwan rested her chin on her hand.

Xie Yanning always kept her back very straight, no matter what.

Even when sleeping in pajamas, she exudes a serene and upright aura.

Looking at him now, it's hard to imagine that he was just a lecherous man.

Su Wanwan laughed.

Her gaze shifted to the computer screen.

Just like in a TV drama, strings of code popped out from his fingertips on the black screen.

After the anger in her heart subsided, Su Wanwan felt sleepy.

Judging from the current situation, I wonder when this will be finished.

She felt a pang of sympathy for him; Professor Xie didn't earn money easily. She gently kissed his cheek and said, "I'm going to sleep now."

Xie Yanning stood up and picked her up in his arms.

"I can walk by myself."

I want to hug you.

He gently placed her on the bed, kissed her forehead, and said, "Goodnight."

This means that it may take a long time to process.

Su Wanwan quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Su Wanwan was awakened by the sound of a sudden gust of wind and rain.

When I touched the edge of the bed, it was still cold.

I glanced at my phone; it was already past 1 a.m.

Xie Yanning walked over. "Did you wake them up?"

Are you done with your work?

"Um."

Xie Yanning was a little tired. He lifted the covers and climbed into bed, then pulled the other person into his arms. His voice was full of weariness: "Let me hug you."

Su Wanwan nestled obediently in his arms.

The rain was pouring outside the window.

The knocking on the window seemed to isolate people from the rest of the world.

Thunder rumbled in the winter, and a flash of lightning illuminated Xie Yanning's slightly furrowed brows.

Su Wanwan sketched for a moment, then stood up and moved Xie Yanning's head onto her lap.

Xie Yanning was somewhat disoriented. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Her slender fingers gently rubbed his forehead.

She had learned some knowledge about acupoints and knew where to press to relieve fatigue.

Xie Yanning's expression quickly relaxed.

It was estimated that half an hour later, Su Wanwan finally climbed back into bed and snuggled into Xie Yanning's arms.

When Su Wanwan woke up the next day, she found Xie Yanning rubbing her hand. "Are you tired?"

Su Wanwan yawned softly, "It was only for a short while, how could you be tired? Why did you wake up so early?"

It was just beginning to get light outside.

"I'm used to waking up early."

Su Wanwan snuggled back into his arms and nodded gently; it was indeed true.

Xie Yanning is an early riser without fail; I've almost never seen him be lazy.

"Have you finished dealing with what you had to do yesterday?" Su Wanwan asked lazily.

"Yes, it's all taken care of." Xie Yanning replied, still feeling a bit annoyed when he thought about it. He could have been doing some things he wanted to do with his wife, but someone ruined it for him.

Shu Yangqiu on the other end was alright, it was broad daylight.

But he could also sense Xie Yanning's resentment, and he didn't dare to say a word, feeling that Xie Yanning would retaliate.

"Wanwan," Xie Yanning called softly, her voice surprisingly tinged with grievance.

Su Wanwan flinched. "What's wrong?"

Xie Yanning didn't say anything, and his kiss landed haphazardly.

"..."

If Su Wanwan still doesn't understand, she wouldn't be worthy of being a human being.

"Aren't you tired?" she couldn't help but ask.
