As soon as the door opened, Yan Zhi woke up. She hadn't actually fallen asleep; she had just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. The longer she lay there, the clearer her mind became.
Normally, Yan Zhi would laugh at Leng Linli, the dignified CEO, for sneaking into her room in the middle of the night. But there was nothing to laugh about; this was Leng Linli's house, and he could go wherever he wanted.
However, Leng Linli was too concerned and couldn't help but be provoked. Seeing his embarrassed and angry appearance was also quite amusing, so for the past month, Yan Zhi often teased him to make him embarrassed and angry.
This time, however, Yan Zhi was tired and didn't want to pay attention to Leng Linli, so she decided to continue pretending to be asleep.
Leng Linli moved very lightly, with a gentleness he himself didn't even realize, to Yan Zhi's bedside. He carefully examined her, his cold and handsome face thoughtful.
Is it really that sad?
Are you so upset that you're going to bed so early?
How much did she really love that person?
Love him more than he loves her?
Since they met, Yan Zhi had never acted like this because of him, so Leng Linli concluded that Yan Zhi probably loved that person even more than he loved him...
But that person is already dead, and she still can't forget him to this day.
Under the warm yellow light, the cold and sharp figure was stretched long by the light, looking somewhat... lonely?
He stood there blankly for a long time, until Yan Zhi could no longer keep up the act. Just as she was about to ask Leng Linli what he wanted to do, he moved and left the room.
Yan Zhi was stunned. Leng Linli was as inexplicable as ever!
I thought the night was over, but before half an hour had passed, Yan Zhi’s door opened again, and steady, powerful footsteps approached from afar, finally stopping beside Yan Zhi’s bed.
What exactly does Leng Linli want to do tonight?
Can you just give me a quick and easy answer?
Unable to keep up the act any longer, Yan Zhi resigned herself to her fate, opened her eyes, and calmly looked at Leng Linli.
At this moment, Leng Linli was looking down at the woman on the bed. She was fast asleep with a peaceful and serene expression, without her usual nonchalance. The more he looked at her gentle face, the softer Leng Linli's gaze became.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi suddenly opened her eyes, and for a moment, Leng Linli awkwardly suppressed his outward emotions.
Yan Zhi opened her eyes and met Leng Linli's deep eyes. His dark pupils were not as indifferent as before, but contained something she could not understand. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she was just being presumptuous.
"woke up?"
Leng Linli raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice still somewhat indifferent, without much emotional fluctuation, but it also lacked the previous coldness and mockery, instead showing a rare touch of warmth.
"Um."
Yan Zhi responded calmly, slowly sitting up straight. With Leng Linli coming in and out like this, it would be difficult for her not to wake up.
Yan Zhi adjusted her posture and looked up at Leng Linli.
His thin lips moved slightly, and Leng Linli seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated. After waiting for a while without him speaking, Yan Zhi began to urge him to leave: "If President Leng has nothing else, I'm going to sleep."
Leng Linli was silent for a moment, then his voice was low and slow, as if asking, "Would you like something to eat?"
Yan Zhi was taken aback. She really didn't expect that Leng Linli would come over so late at night not to mock her, but to invite her for a late-night snack.
This is indeed unusual.
Yan Zhi was already in a low mood, so she had no appetite, let alone eating with Leng Linli. Yan Zhi was really afraid that Leng Linli would say something hurtful again, causing her to have indigestion late at night.
Just as I was about to refuse, a deep, unnatural voice came again: "...I just overcooked the noodles."
Although Leng Linli didn't continue, Yan Zhi already had a general idea.
Still so concerned about saving face.
Yan Zhi suddenly felt like laughing. So Leng Linli's hesitation just now was because he couldn't bring himself to lie. He probably hadn't done anything like this before, so he wasn't good at lying. That's right, with his status and position, why would he need to lie to others? He should be worried about others lying to him.
...Therefore, he stubbornly believed that she had used tricks to deceive his grandmother during this marriage.
However... he looks much better like this than during the day.
"Thank you, but I've already had dinner," Yan Zhi replied calmly, a gentle smile on her face.
He tried to cook noodles for the first time, but was rejected. Leng Linli frowned, his gaze fixed on her face for a long time, trying to discern the truth in her words.
“But Aunt Nan said you…” Leng Linli suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence. Wouldn’t saying that make it seem like he cared about her a lot?
Yan Zhi looked at the stubborn and awkward man in front of her, and couldn't help but smile. The frustration in her heart gradually dissipated.
Yan Zhi didn't lie on purpose to reject Leng Linli; she really had eaten. On the way back, Yan Zhi ate a piece of bread.
No matter how sad she is, Yan Zhi will eat well, sleep well, and live well... because that's just how Fei Fei is. No matter what, Fei Fei will live well, be strong, and be optimistic.
Feifei loved her so much, and now that Feifei is gone, Yanzhi has to take good care of herself in Feifei's place.
"I just cooked too much... Since you've already eaten, I'll eat it myself." He, a dignified CEO of a group, rarely lowered himself to cook noodles, and was even refused on the spot. Didn't he have any pride?
After Leng Linli finished speaking, he turned and walked out, a fleeting look of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but Yan Zhi still keenly noticed it.
Women are easily moved to pity. Seeing Leng Linli turn away in despair, his aggrieved expression as if he had suffered a great injustice, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, even though she knew she shouldn't feel sorry for him.
But that face was so captivating that it was hard to resist. The light in his eyes dimmed, as if the whole world had wronged him.
