Chapter 104 I Can’t Sleep



After Xiaoxue recovered, he asked, "You are so young, why didn't you go to school and come to work in a place like this?"

"My grandma is sick, and all the tuition money is used to pay for medical expenses, but it's still not enough..."

Perhaps thinking of her grandmother's illness, Xiaoxue's mood was noticeably lower. He Jingchuan noticed and sneered, "Why are you crying? Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

He leaned gently on the sofa and said, "As long as you take good care of me tonight, I will pay for your grandma's medical expenses!"

"Really?"

Xiaoxue looked at He Jingchuan with bright eyes: "Thank you, boss. I, I'll go take a shower now..."

Chi Yu was tossed around until the second half of the night and was sweating all over.

She quietly left Pei Guyuan's room and went back to her room to take a shower. When she came out, she happened to hear the crying of a baby coming from the nursery next door.

As soon as she walked over, she saw Xiaolan hurriedly getting up and heating milk for Xiaobao.

As soon as she saw Chi Yu coming over, Xiao Lan hurriedly said, "Miss, aren't you sleeping upstairs today? You've come just in time, Xiaobao just woke up and wants to drink milk."

"Well, I'll hold you and sleep with me."

Chi Yu reached out and held her son in her arms. The little guy seemed to smell his mother's scent and stopped crying instantly, tilting his head to look for food.

Pei Guyuan was very busy in the next few days, leaving home early and returning late.

Chi Yu also received many notices. Although they were in the same company, they never met all day long, and there was not even a message from him on her phone.

After three consecutive days without any news, Chi Yu felt a little confused!

It feels like something is missing from this family without Pei Guyuan.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chi Yuhou saw that Pei Guyuan had not returned home yet, so she tried to call him.

However, the ringing lasted a long time before it was answered. His low and cold voice came: "Xiaoyu, are you still awake so late?"

"Hmm~" Chi Yu listened to his low, cold, and magnetic voice, and her mood suddenly improved a lot: "Fourth brother, why haven't you been home these days? Are you very busy?"

"Something went wrong with a project at the company. What happened? Do you want me to come back?"

These days, the lights of the project team in the entire Universal Entertainment building are on all night long.

Pei Guyuan sat in his office, the computer screen was on, and page after page of alternative plans.

He didn't even have time to take a sip of coffee.

However, at this moment, holding the phone, he was expecting Chi Yu to call him home.

He had already made up his mind that if Chi Yu called him home, he would immediately let everyone in the company go home after get off work.

It’s just a project, he can afford to lose that little money.

But Chi Yu didn't. She just kindly said, "Then take care of yourself, I won't bother you anymore!"

"...Okay." This kind of comfort is not bad. Pei Guyuan curled his lips and said, "Go to bed early. If you are tired, just rest at home. I can support you even if you do nothing."

After Chi Yu hung up the phone, she still held the phone tightly.

I haven't seen my fourth brother for three days. I miss him so much.

In the past, she could say the three words "I miss you" without any pressure, but now she feels ashamed to say it out loud. The relationship between her and Pei Guyuan has changed invisibly.

The phone suddenly vibrated and received a message.

Chi Yu quickly gathered her thoughts and turned on her phone, thinking it was a message from Pei Guyuan, but unexpectedly it was from He Jingchuan.

As soon as she saw his name, Chi Yu's good mood disappeared instantly!

He Jingchuan still sent her nonsense messages like "Good morning, good night, have you eaten?" every day. At first, she would deal with it, but in her heart, she felt sick just by seeing that name.

But I can't just block him.

Chi Yu didn't read the message. She just threw her phone on the bedside table and crawled into bed to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the phone was quiet for a while and then rang again.

After receiving more than a dozen messages in succession, Chi Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore. She opened the message and found that He Jingchuan was going crazy at her.

"Xiaoyu, I love you, very much!"

Didn’t Ye Wanying feed him enough?

But thinking back to her previous life, during the years when she was married to He Jingchuan, he had always disdained to touch her because Ye Wanying outside had already taken good care of him.

She was a widow for so many years, and was raped and tortured to death by Ye Wanying.

Her chest ached when she thought of that.

She said, "Jingchuan, I want to see you too, but Pei Guyuan won't let me go. He said that unless you give him the land in the east of the city, you are not allowed to order takeout for me or visit me at the company..."

She sent the message in a voice message, using a coquettish tone.

If Chi Yu remembered correctly, the He family in her previous life was trying to win over investors and some relevant officials in order to obtain the priority development rights for the land in the east of the city.

Later, in just five years, the He Group earned 1.5 billion yuan from that project, and from then on stood in a position comparable to the Pei Group.

The worst part was that Pei Guyuan was currently focused on overseas markets and wasn't very interested in that project. Thinking of this, Chi Yu sent Pei Guyuan another message, asking, "Fourth brother, are you interested in the development rights for that piece of land in the east of the city?"

After she sent the message, she didn't receive a reply for a long time.

Instead, He Jingchuan replied, "Xiaoyu, although I like you very much, I can't make the decision on that project. My mother is determined to win this time. No matter how many competitors there are, no matter how much money she spends, she will get that piece of land."

Mrs. He has business foresight.

After reading the message, Chi Yu did not reply.

She waited for a while, but did not receive a reply from Pei Guyuan, so she gradually fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night, when she was half asleep, she felt her body suddenly float in the air. She opened her eyes in a trance and saw a delicate jawline.

Pei Guyuan carried her upstairs and pushed the door open with his back. She subconsciously sniffed and found that there was no smell of alcohol on the man.

"Fourth brother? What are you doing here?"

"I'm so tired lately. I want to sleep with you."

He spoke bluntly, and after throwing the man into bed, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Chi Yu's heart was in turmoil. Pei Guyuan didn't drink any alcohol, so why did he become like this?

After waiting for about ten minutes, Pei Guyuan came out of the bathroom. His hair had been blow-dried, and his gray home clothes were loose, revealing some sexy muscle lines.

Chi Yu didn't dare to stare, her whole body was tense at the moment.

After Pei Guyuan got into bed, he immediately put his arms around her, rested his chin on the top of her head, and coldly said two words: "Sleep!"

Chi Yu rested her head in his arms, with countless questions in her head.

Her sleeping position was not comfortable, but she was worried about sleeping facing Pei Guyuan, so she endured it and did not move for a long time, but she could not fall asleep.

"Xiaoyu, can I kiss you?"
