Chapter 685 Small World 6 - Sleeping Together
When Jiang Chen was brought into the room by the housekeeper, Ye Rou was wearing a chiffon coat with a fishtail satin dress with suspenders underneath. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Her long, dark hair lay scattered on the bed, with a few strands stuck to her face.
The doctor had warned her not to be exposed to the wind during the massage, so the doors and windows were tightly closed. The temperature in the room was a little high, and a blush spread across her beautiful face, making her look extremely pretty.
The nurse stood by the bed, massaging her numb legs.
Jiang Chen stood aside and waited, when he suddenly heard Ye Rou say, "Get out."
His face darkened, but before he could move, the nurse stood up and walked out quietly.
The housekeeper also retreated and considerately closed the door.
Only Ye Rou and Jiang Chen were left in the bedroom.
She still didn't open her eyes and said calmly, "I heard from the nurse that you asked her for advice on massage techniques."
Jiang Chen already knew what she was going to say next.
He forced a gentle fake smile: "Miss, let me give you a massage."
Ye Rou was very pleased and opened her eyes. When she saw the fake smile on Jiang Chen's face, she frowned and became unhappy again.
She casually picked up the soft pillow beside her and threw it at Jiang Chen: "Your smile is so ugly, stop laughing!"
Jiang Chen caught the pillow and looked down at the woman lying on the bed with a gloomy expression.
What a bad temper! His expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
Thinking about the purpose of coming to the Ye family, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and endured it.
With a blank expression, he put the pillow back in its place, put on gloves, applied medicated oil, and massaged the young lady's legs.
The ankle is so thin that it can be held in one hand, and the skin is smooth and cool.
Ye Rou's legs had long lost all feeling, so naturally she couldn't tell who pressed better, him or the nurse.
She thought the massages were useless, but the housekeeper kept nagging her to get them.
Ye Rou was tired of listening and had to cooperate.
She was lying there bored, and suddenly remembered that she had heard the aunt at home discussing how to spend the bonus - to support her son and daughter-in-law, to buy gifts for her grandson... After all the calculations, not only could they not save any money, they would even have to pay out of their own pockets.
Thinking of this, Ye Rou curiously asked Jiang Chen: "What does it feel like to have no money?"
If someone else asked this kind of question, they would definitely be beaten.
But Ye Rou's eyes were clear and full of curiosity. She was really curious.
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes. Ye Rou's skin was extremely white, flawless, as if she had never been exposed to the sun since she was born.
She was lying on a large silk bed, with her fishtail skirt lifted high. Beneath the skirt were her slender long legs with delicate joints, delicate skin, and feet as white as tender tofu.
Compared with her, Jiang Chen suddenly felt that he was very ugly. His hands with big joints from doing rough work were ugly, and his skin color, which was almost wheat-colored due to being tanned by the sun, was ugly.
But this is normal.
Ye Rou is a truly wealthy man, while he is just an ambitious stinker who is trying to plunder it all in order to completely escape the cesspool.
When he was young, his mother left him and Jiang Chen was hungry all day and all night.
He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and fainted at the door. A kind neighbor gave him a steamed bun, which he ate voraciously. At that time, he thought it was the most delicious steamed bun in the world.
But because of this one steamed bun, he was chased by his neighbor's son, who mocked him as a beggar and said he was eating leftovers from other people's homes.
The nickname "Little Beggar" followed him all the way to junior high school.
Thanks to the kindness of his neighbor's son, the young teacher learned about his difficulties.
Without informing him, a teacher from the orphanage suddenly appeared at the class meeting with a donation box. The young teacher told the students about his difficult family situation and encouraged them to help him.
At that moment, Jiang Chen was wearing clothes but still felt naked.
He was forcibly dragged to the podium by the orphanage teacher and asked to bow and thank every student who came forward to donate.
Fifty cents, one dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, one hundred dollars...
Jiang Chen bowed thirty-two times. Everyone was laughing that day, except him.
From that day on, Jiang Chen swore that he wanted money, lots and lots of money, even if it meant using any means necessary.
He wants to use money to build a throne and climb to a height that everyone looks up to him.
Today, he has a lot of money, but it is not enough.
Facing Ye Rou's question, he hid all his ambitions and said calmly: "I will be anxious if I don't have money."
Ye Rou repeated the word: "Anxiety?"
The eldest daughter who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth probably has never felt anxious in her life.
Jiang Chen hid his emotions very well, but he underestimated Ye Rou's sharpness.
She glanced at him and suddenly said, "Do you think my life is smooth sailing and I never feel anxious?"
Jiang Chen didn't answer.
But his expression said it all.
Ye Rou suddenly felt very unhappy.
"Go out, no need to press it."
Her voice was stiff. She couldn't turn over, so she simply pulled the pillow over her face and said, "I want to sleep. Go out."
Ye Rou had excellent hearing, and the sound of Jiang Chen taking off his gloves and putting away bottles and jars was particularly obvious in the quiet bedroom.
After everything was packed up, Jiang Chen's footsteps moved towards the bedroom door.
Ye Rou was in a complicated mood at the moment. She was annoyed by Jiang Chen's look that thought he understood her, but he really left as she wished, and she felt a little unhappy.
What is this emotion?
Why is it so complicated?
Before Ye Rou could figure out what was going on, the bed beside her collapsed.
Ye Rou quickly took away the pillow. The warm yellow light in the bedroom illuminated everything. Jiang Chen was lying on the other side of the bed, looking at her with a serious look.
He didn't leave, and Ye Rou felt very awkward.
She felt happy but also angry at Jiang Chen for disobeying her orders...
Amidst a mixture of emotions, Shoujue told her that if she continued to explore, something bad would happen.
She simply changed her mind: "Who asked you to go to bed!"
Jiang Chen said calmly, "You said you would spend your wedding night with me tonight."
Ye Rou just said it casually to irritate Jiang Chen, but she never expected that he would take it seriously.
"Who wants to spend the wedding night with you? Go back to your own room."
Not only did Jiang Chen not intend to leave, he also ordered the smart housekeeper to turn off the lights.
In the darkness, the man's voice was low.
"It's late, go to bed."
The cold moonlight streamed into the bedroom. Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Ye Rou picked up the pillow and tried to drive him off the bed.
Just as she moved, someone suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. Her hands were held down tightly, making her unable to move.
A firm hug.
Ye Rou was too petite for Jiang Chen, who was 1.9 meters tall. His broad and strong chest pressed her tightly in his arms. She rested her head on Jiang Chen's arm, forming a tight and airtight hug.
Ye Rou was stunned.
She received an elite education since childhood and has a strong sense of boundaries.
This was the first time Ye Rou was hugged since she grew up.
Closely clinging to each other, an inseparable embrace.
This was actually Jiang Chen’s first time as well.
But the feeling was not bad, the soft body filled his empty arms, and the touch was warm and smooth.
The body adapted to the hug sooner than the brain did.
Sleepiness filled his heart, and Jiang Chen, in a daze, subconsciously kissed the person in his arms between the eyebrows. This action seemed so familiar as if he had done it hundreds of times.
He fell asleep after the kiss.
Ye Rou felt the lingering touch between her eyebrows and blinked blankly.
The clock on the wall ticked silently, and Ye Rou suddenly felt sleepy for the first time in a long time.
