Jiang Wanyan was stunned and stared at Xi Chenzhu blankly.
Children may have listened to their mother or father tell bedtime stories when they were young, but that was also their childhood.
Jiang Wanyan listened to her nanny telling bedtime stories when she was a child, but she stopped listening to them after she grew up a little.
Now Xi Chenzhu asked her with his handsome face if she wanted to hear a bedtime story. Jiang Wanyan felt like she was dreaming.
Xi Chenzhu saw what she was thinking and explained, "When she was little, I was the one who coaxed Nuannuan to sleep. She couldn't fall asleep without listening to stories."
Jiang Wanyan nodded in understanding. This was very consistent with Xi Nuannuan's personality. Xi Nuannuan was a child who grew up in a greenhouse, so it was normal for her to ask for a bedtime story.
It’s just that Xi Chenzhu’s ability to tell bedtime stories is quite contrasting.
Jiang Wanyan said expectantly, "I want to listen."
She wanted to hear what the usually serious man was like when he told her a bedtime story.
If people outside heard that Xi Chenzhu could tell bedtime stories, they would definitely laugh out loud. The head of the Xi Group, who exudes coldness, can tell bedtime stories? He can only tell ghost stories.
The book Xi Chenzhu was holding was a foreign book, originally in English. He lowered his eyes to look at the person lying in bed and asked caringly, "Is it okay to read it in English?"
Jiang Wanyan nodded. It was good enough that she could understand some of it. She didn’t care what language it was.
Xi Chenzhu read an English story in a calm and low voice with little fluctuation in tone. The story was told in a leisurely manner and was very pleasant to listen to.
Jiang Wanyan relaxed her tense nerves and half-closed her eyes, wanting to hear more, but her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them.
The storytelling stopped, and Jiang Wanyan heard the man say gently, "Go to sleep. I'll tell you next time."
Jiang Wanyan fell asleep to this sound.
There were no scary scenes in the dream, and Jiang Wanyan slept peacefully until dawn.
When I woke up, Xi Chenzhu was no longer by my side. The light in the bedroom was still on, as if it had been on all night.
Jiang Wanyan sat on the bed, a little dazed.
With the lights on all night and the gentle storytelling voices playing, she seemed to be still dreaming.
Jiang Wanyan lay back on the bed and rolled back and forth.
It was so beautiful that it seemed like a dream, but everything was real. Xi Chenzhu's gentle and considerate appearance was still in my mind.
Jiang Wanyan felt soft all over. It was the first time in her life that she felt so comfortable.
The door opened gently with a click.
Jiang Wanyan, who was still rolling around, looked up and met Xi Chenzhu's gaze. She felt a little embarrassed. Xi Chenzhu chuckled and said, "It's time to have breakfast."
After saying that, he closed the door considerately.
Jiang Wanyan's face turned completely red because of his actions, and she hurried into the bathroom.
How embarrassing!
She roared in her heart. Not only did she stay in bed all the time, but she was also seen rolling around in bed.
At that moment, Jiang Wanyan was like a kitten that had been discovered, embarrassed and shy.
Xi Chenzhu made a simple breakfast, which tasted great and was in no way inferior to the breakfast restaurants outside.
After Jiang Wanyan had breakfast, the police called her and said that there were some details that required her cooperation.
After she answered the phone, Xi Chenzhu said, "Do you need me to go with you?"
After one night, Jiang Wanyan had calmed down. She said, "No, Youzi will be there too. Just work hard and don't worry about me."
Xi Chenzhu didn't say anything, but just found a bodyguard to follow Jiang Wanyan.
Jiang Wanyan didn't refuse, as a bodyguard wouldn't be a problem.
When Jiang Wanyan went to pick up Yin You, Yin You's face looked really ugly.
Jiang Wanyan asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yin You ran to the car, fastened his seat belt, and urged the driver to drive, saying, "Hurry up, I'll tell you on the way."
Jiang Wanyan saw a group of people running out of the old house, holding various things in their hands, including breakfast, clothes and shoes.
After the car drove out, they chased it for a distance, but later found that they could not catch up, so they slowly stopped.
Yin You withdrew his gaze, sighed deeply, and told Jiang Wanyan what happened last night.
Yin You thought that Jiang Wanyan wouldn't worry if he went back to the old house, so he went back.
When the people in the old house saw Yin You coming back, they were all overjoyed and ran to tell Yin You's parents. Yin's father and mother immediately ran to the door to greet them.
If you didn’t know the situation, you would think it was an important guest.
Yin You said with a headache: "You don't have to do this."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by Yin's mother. Yin's mother said with relief: "Fortunately, you didn't lose weight. You are a girl, you must take good care of yourself outside and never let yourself be wronged."
Yin You was speechless. She would never let herself be wronged no matter who she let suffer. She didn't know what they were thinking. Why did they think she would wrong herself?
Yin's father also said with concern: "You child, your family is fine, why do you want to live outside? Is it better outside than home? There are people outside to serve you? Is the house as big as the old house?"
Yin You covered his ears, not wanting to listen, and said helplessly: "I like being alone outside, so stop talking, or I'll leave."
Mother Yin quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. It's rare for you to come back. Have you eaten?"
She asked if they had eaten yet, but before Yin You could answer, she said to the servant beside her, "Go and ask the chef to prepare something. Bring out the lobsters that just arrived and cook them."
Yin You said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I've eaten. Don't bother. I just want to sleep now."
"It's not too late to sleep after eating," Yin's mother said with a smile as she pulled Yin You towards the house. "Why are you back at this time? It's dark at night and it's not safe."
Yin You was powerless to refute. The street where the old house was located had street lights as bright as day at night. How could this be called dark?
"Nothing, just came back because of something."
Hearing that she was in trouble, Yin's mother asked anxiously, "Were you bullied outside? Don't be afraid. Tell me who bullied you. Your father and I will help you get justice."
"Mom, who could bully me? I'm lucky I don't bully others." Yin You didn't want to be questioned all the time, so he just said honestly, "It was the dessert shop opened by Wanyan. We dug up a body in our yard."
"Corpse, corpse?" Yin's mother's face turned pale.
Yin You supported her and said, "Those who have been dead for a long time have turned into bones."
Father Yin hugged Mother Yin in his arms and sighed, "Why are you telling your mother all this? What if you scare her so late at night?"
Yin You also felt that it was not appropriate. Yin's mother was timid and was afraid that she would be really scared and unable to sleep.
"Yuzi," Yin's mother said fearfully, "you should stay put in the old house from now on."
"No," Yin You refused outright, "It was just an accident, nothing happened to me."
In order to get Yin You to stay in the Yin family's old house, the two elders of the Yin family tried their best to persuade him all night long. In the end, they gave up when Yin You fell asleep leaning on the sofa.
As for why there were a bunch of people holding clothes in the morning, it was because Yin's mother thought about it all night and felt that the best way to make Yin You settle down was to find her a partner.
