The phone rang a few times and then automatically disconnected.
The room fell silent once more.
Chu Wuyang turned her head to look at the sleeping man behind her.
It only moved slightly.
I felt a stiffness spreading down my neck.
It felt like my lungs were filled with lead; even breathing was painful.
"hiss……"
She took a soft breath, her brow furrowing slightly.
The man's arms were still tightly wrapped around her.
With some difficulty, she pulled her hand out from under the covers, slowly raised it to support the back of her neck, and turned around.
She tried to move a little distance from his chest, but as soon as she did, the person behind her seemed to sense something, and pulled her back with his eyes closed.
When she pressed her body against his, her entire face was almost touching his.
They were so close that their breaths almost mingled together.
His face was right in front of me.
Her eyelashes drooped, obscuring her eyes, which were usually so deep and unreadable.
Morning light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows between his cheekbones and jawline. His bone structure was refined, and his skin was so white it was almost translucent, yet not sickly.
On the contrary, they have an innate sense of nobility.
He slept peacefully, his thin lips slightly pursed, his breath brushing against her cheek, light and warm, his gentle hands stroking her back.
It seemed to be an unconscious soothing movement caused by her body moving away earlier.
Chu Wuyang stared at that handsome face for a long time.
The sleeping Jing Min was completely different from the one who usually spoke with a barbed tongue, had a cold and sharp gaze, and could make people furious with just a few words.
At this moment, he looked quiet and docile, as if he had an exceptionally good temper.
The man, seemingly lost in a dream, slightly raised the corners of his mouth as if in a smile, then gently tilted his head back.
The blanket slipped down a bit, revealing her long, slender neck.
The red teeth mark was clearly visible, and Chu Wuyang could see it very clearly from such close proximity.
Although the swelling has subsided, the mark remains, its color frighteningly dark. The scab has just fallen off and is not yet fully healed, with the edges of the wound faintly tinged with pale red.
You must have bled quite a bit, right?
Her heart tightened, and she raised her hand, carefully extending her fingertips to touch the wound.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Chu Wuyang paused,
She knew without turning around that it was Mo Sangyu calling.
The phone rang so early in the morning; I guess she was worried because Jingmin hadn't come home.
Maybe she stayed up all night waiting for her husband.
Her husband was fast asleep, embracing another woman.
A heavy sense of guilt rose in her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The man was fast asleep; the loud ringing of the alarm clock seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
Didn't you say it was insomnia, nightmares, or trauma?
This doesn't look like it at all!
It's probably just another ploy to trick her, a melodramatic act made up to soften her heart.
This scumbag cheats on his wife and uses all sorts of tricks to drag her along with him.
As a woman herself, how could she not understand what Mo Sangyu was feeling?
Driven by his own selfish hatred, the culprit actually harmed two women at the same time?
The fingers, which had already curled up and were about to retract,
Chu Wuyang gritted her teeth and pressed hard on the not-fully-healed wound.
The man immediately winced in pain, and a low groan escaped from deep in his throat.
The moment he opened his eyes, his expression still carried a hint of dazedness, as if he were still half-asleep.
He then subconsciously looked down, his gaze falling on the person in his arms.
Chu Wuyang remained motionless, nestled quietly in his arms.
Her hair hung down in a mess, her face was buried in his chest, only the tip of her nose was visible, and her breathing was steady, as if she were sleeping soundly.
Jingmin touched his neck, and as he reached for a tissue from the bedside table,
He noticed a trace of blood on the woman's fingertips.
He paused, then withdrew his hand.
I closed my eyes briefly to suppress the burning pain.
The arms around her tightened their embrace even more.
The phone was ringing so loudly, but Jingmin went back to sleep as if nothing was wrong?
Chu Wuyang turned over in his arms in annoyance.
The man finally reacted, getting up to grab his phone.
He lifted the covers, quietly got out of bed, and with Chu Wuyang's back to him, he tucked the covers back in tightly.
He had just left the bedroom with his phone.
"Hey, what's up?"
Mo Sangyu: "Amin, my stepsister Sangyun came over yesterday. She told you before that she was coming to China for medical treatment and has already stayed here with me."
Jingmin: "What does this have to do with me?"
There was a few seconds of silence on Mo Sangyu's end.
"She kept asking you yesterday, trying to find out if there were problems in our relationship?"
“If you don’t show up, I’m worried she might say something to my father.”
Jingmin: "Don't worry about it. Didn't I say last time that I would find a time to announce it?"
Mo Sangyu tightened her grip on the phone.
Has he changed his mind again?
Should we terminate the contract?
Is it because he was with that woman last night?
What did that woman say that shook his mind?
Unable to reach him yesterday, she went to his company to look for him.
I happened to see his assistant talking to a merchant on the phone, his tone urgent, as if he was urgently urging someone to do something.
She overheard a few keywords: temporary, urgent, flowers, and goods being sourced from all over the city.
She hadn't even spoken yet
The assistant spotted her, looking flustered, and blocked her way, pleading in a low voice for her to pretend she hadn't heard.
Mr. Jing said he wanted to prepare a surprise for his wife.
If she found out beforehand, Jingmin would definitely blame them for their poor handling of the situation, and they would be punished as a result.
