Jian Yu slowly woke up, only to find that everything was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly.
The soft touch beneath her told her that she was lying on the large bed in the bedroom.
So, I stretched comfortably.
Just then, she felt a slight vibration on her wrist. It turned out that the monitoring watch she was wearing had detected the change in her breathing and automatically sent a message to Huo Qizhen's watch.
Huo Qizhen was sitting in the living room, facing Bao Yanbai.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Upon receiving the notification from his wristwatch, Kenneth Fok stood up and quickly walked towards the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Huo Qizhen gently closed the door before reaching out to press the light switch on the wall.
The room was instantly illuminated by bright lights.
However, the sudden bright light caused Jian Yu, who was not yet used to the light, to instinctively pull the blanket over her and cover her entire head.
Huo Qizhen had only taken two steps inside when he saw Jian Yu's reaction, so he stopped, turned back to the doorway, and dimmed the lights a little.
"That should be better, right?"
Jian Yu then peeked out from under the covers, and after confirming that the light was no longer glaring, slowly lifted the covers and sat up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at Huo Qizhen standing not far away, and asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
Huo Qizhen couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. He walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Jian Yu tenderly, "It's already noon on the second day. Do you think I've slept or not?"
"Forehead……"
Jian Yu scratched his head sheepishly and forced a dry laugh. "Haha, it's already noon! Has Tingzhen returned yet?"
"I'm back. I'm taking a nap in my room right now!"
"Then...she shouldn't be angry anymore, right?"
Huo Qizhen slowly shook his head and smiled helplessly, "How could I not be angry? She's furious! She even punched me several times just now!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu quickly grabbed Huo Qizhen's hand, "Does it hurt? Where was it hit? Let me see."
Seeing Jian Yu so nervous, Huo Qizhen chuckled inwardly and said, "Actually, it didn't hurt at all. She was just putting on an act for Bao Yanbai."
"What? Bao Yanbai is here too?"
Jian Yu stared wide-eyed at Huo Qizhen.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jian Yu curiously followed up, "Where is he now?"
Huo Qizhen pointed to the door and whispered to Jian Yu, "He's sitting on the sofa outside! This guy stayed up all night and didn't even go to catch up on sleep."
Jian Yu subconsciously lowered her voice, "Could it be... that he's angry?"
"He wouldn't dare."
"......"
"You know, he still really wants to marry Tingzhen, so naturally he wouldn't dare to turn against me. When Tingzhen was arguing with me just now, he stepped in and pretended to offer a few words of advice."
Huo Qizhen grinned mischievously, "He was clearly furious, but he had to hold it in because he knew he was in the wrong this time. After all, his blind date confessed her feelings to him right in front of Tingzhen. It would be strange if he didn't panic in that situation!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu immediately perked up. "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"
"Just as Bao Yanbai and Tingzhen were embracing each other tenderly, sensing each other's worry, my subordinate seized the opportunity and took over the video of the young lady from the Xuri Group. Good heavens, that young lady is really direct. In front of Tingzhen, she openly confessed her feelings to Bao Yanbai, and even said that Mr. and Mrs. Bao had agreed to the marriage terms proposed by their family, and were planning to choose an auspicious day in the next few days to discuss the engagement!"
Jian Yu instinctively covered his mouth in surprise. If Bao Yanbai found out about this, wouldn't he be scared out of his wits?
"And there's more! Tingzhen actually didn't know that Mrs. Bao and the wife of the Xuri Group had met privately to discuss a marriage alliance. When she heard about it, she almost kicked Bao Yanbai away again. When she found out that I had arranged this video incident, she abandoned Bao Yanbai and rushed to find me without saying a word. If Bao Yanbai hadn't reacted quickly enough and boarded the plane in time, he would probably still be stuck in the no-man's land!"
Jian Yu listened with great interest, and unconsciously pictured the scene in his mind.
"So, he stayed up all night without sleeping and wasn't tired?"
"Of course he's sleepy! You didn't see his panda eyes, they were so big and heavy. But even though he's sleepy, he doesn't dare close his eyes, because Tingzhen won't let him into the room, and he doesn't dare go to another room to sleep, for fear that if Tingzhen wakes up and finds him not beside him, he'll leave him behind."
Jian Yu picked up where Huo Qizhen left off, "So, even though he was incredibly sleepy, he forced himself to stay at the door and didn't dare leave for a single step?"
"right."
"He's been staying here all this time. Isn't he worried that his family will arrange a new fiancée for him?"
"Perhaps he wants to deal with these things after he gets back! Let's not talk about him anymore, get up and go eat."
When Jian Yu and Huo Qizhen left the room, Bao Yanbai was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.
Upon hearing the door open, Bao Yanbai immediately opened his eyes. Seeing the two holding hands intimately, he was filled with jealousy.
And now he can't even hold his girlfriend's hand.
Looking at Jian Yu, "Awake?"
Jian Yu nodded and said with concern, "You look very tired. Why don't you go and get some sleep? There's no rush."
Without saying a word, Huo Qizhen grabbed Jian Yu's hand and headed towards the restaurant.
Upon seeing this, Bao Yanbai quickly stood up and followed behind the two.
"I'm sorry about what happened with the Sunrise Group."
Huo Qizhen sneered, "You don't need to apologize. This incident only further demonstrates that your family is simply not suitable for Tingzhen!"
Bao Yanbai stood there stunned, and hastily explained, "The reason my mother did this was entirely because of my maternal grandmother, not because she had any dissatisfaction with Tingzhen!"
Huo Qizhen stopped and turned around to look Bao Yanbai directly in the eyes. "Are you sure?"
Before Bao Yanbai could nod, Huo Qizhen continued, "Then why don't you go back and ask the eldest daughter of the Xuri Group carefully, and see how your mother criticized Tingzhen so harshly in front of her and her mother!"
Bao Yanbai, “…”
Sigh... His own mother really knows how to make things worse.
