After lying back down, Ni Sitian didn't close her eyes immediately. She held Xu Tingchuan's hand, stared at his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't sleep. Can you tell me a story?"

Xu Tingchuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to tell stories. He had never heard any stories when he was a child. From the time he could remember, his parents were very busy. Let alone listening to their stories, he could hardly see them more than a few times a month.

"If you can't tell a story, can you sing me a song?" Ni Sitian lowered her standards when she saw his stunned expression.

Xu Tingchuan held her close and hummed a lullaby softly.

Ni Sitian leaned against him, listening to his deep voice, and slowly calmed down, closing her eyes.

Xu Tingchuan felt the person in his arms breathe deeply and evenly. Looking down, he saw that the person had fallen asleep.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then held her close and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, Ni Sitian woke up to find herself facing Xu Tingchuan's handsome features. No matter how many times she had seen him, she was always amazed by his sleeping face. He was truly the most handsome man she had ever met.

She was staring blankly when Xu Tingchuan opened his eyes, his dark, inky gaze meeting hers. He spoke in a hoarse, languid voice, "Good morning."

When Ni Sitian heard his voice, her heart seemed to tremble slightly, and she dared not think about why.

"Good morning." She hurriedly got out of his embrace, threw off the covers, got out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

Xu Tingchuan also got out of bed and went to the kitchen first, putting the spring rolls into the steamer.

After finishing breakfast, since it was still early, Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan went to the hospital first.

After visiting Ni Tianzhen, Xu Tingchuan drove Ni Sitian to work.

Xu Tingchuan had originally planned to invite Ni Sitian to be his date at tonight's charity ball, but considering that she probably wasn't in the mood, he didn't bring it up.

"I'm going on an interview with the editor-in-chief today, so I might have to work overtime." Before getting out of the car, Ni Sitian said to Xu Tingchuan, "I don't know when I'll be back, so make sure you eat dinner on time."

Xu Tingchuan patted her head and smiled faintly, "I know, go ahead."

Ni Sitian pursed her lips, leaned over and kissed his cheek: "See you tonight."

After saying that, she quickly got out of the car.

Xu Tingchuan smiled as he watched her walk into the office building before driving away.

Before entering the company, Ni Sitian took a deep breath, determined to put Ni Tianzhen's matter aside for the time being and adjust her emotions to get to work.

Although Xiao Ya only gave her a very simple job, she still had to be extremely careful.

Busy until around 5 p.m., Xiao Ya tapped on her desk, placed an invitation in her hand, and said, "I'm going to get my hair done. 7 p.m., Jinjiang Hotel, 29th floor. Don't be late."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ya walked away gracefully in her seven-inch heels.

Ni Sitian picked up the invitation, opened it, and was stunned. Yesterday, Xiao Ya had said it was a high-class occasion, but she didn't expect it to be a banquet. She was completely unprepared and it seemed she would have to go home and change her clothes.

After finishing her work, she packed her bag and went home.

Her life had nothing to do with attending banquets, but although she had no experience, she had watched a lot of television and didn't have a dress to wear to a banquet.

It was too late to buy it now, so she spent a long time in front of the wardrobe before finally choosing a light green spaghetti-strap dress to change into.

After applying light makeup, it was already past six o'clock. She hurriedly grabbed her small bag and went out.
