As Ye Chen inhaled the faint, sweet fragrance emanating from Shi Nian, he felt his body gradually relax, and drowsiness quickly crept in.
Shi Nian's aura had a herbal scent.
It doesn't smell bad.
It actually smells quite nice.
It gives people a sense of relaxation.
He felt like he had smelled this scent somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
Before he could figure it out, sleepiness completely overwhelmed him, engulfing his thoughts and lulling him into a deep sleep.
After hearing his steady breathing, Shi Nian slowly removed her hand from his face, her cool gaze falling on his handsome face with a complex expression.
This face is truly flawless...
Handsome.
Handsome.
Precious and dignified.
It's as perfect as a flawless work of art.
In her past life, she was so infatuated with him that she lost herself.
But in her past life, until her death, she never heard him say that he liked her or loved her.
In the five years after she was released in his previous life, he only indulged her endlessly, never saying that he liked her or loved her...
But in this life, he so easily said he liked her.
Does he really like her?
Perhaps his feelings for her were merely a desire to conquer because he couldn't have her?
He didn't really like her...
In her past life, she spent five years giving him her whole being, her heart and soul, but she couldn't even get a single word of affection from him in return.
In this life, she never gave him a kind look and even schemed against him several times. How could he possibly fall in love with her so easily?
Her slender, fair fingers moved slowly across his face, tracing every contour.
"Brother Chen..."
Without realizing it, she called out the name she used to call him in her past life.
In her past life, she liked to call him that.
Because Bai Lian'er called him Brother Ye.
She stubbornly insisted on calling him more intimately.
Therefore, in her past life, she mostly called him Brother Chen, unless he did something that made her angry, in which case she would call him by his full name.
Just then, Zhou Zheng returned after helping her get leave.
He opened the driver's side door, glancing towards the back seat as he reported, "Fifth Master, I've already helped..."
But he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
Because he saw that his master had already fallen asleep with his head on Miss Shi Nian's lap.
And Miss Shi Nian, who had always given him a sense of dread, was actually stroking Fifth Master's cheek!
Moreover, the way she looked at Fifth Master seemed to reveal a hint of tenderness...
Zhou Zheng was stunned.
He always thought that Miss Shi Nian had no feelings for Fifth Master and only wanted to take advantage of his good looks.
As Fifth Master's personal assistant, he knew almost everything Miss Shi Nian had done to Fifth Master.
For example, he tricked Fifth Master into sleeping with Gu Shimo, making the whole city know and everyone think that Fifth Master was gay. They even almost set them up and got them married.
There was also the green hat that Miss Shi Nian gave to Fifth Master, which made him suffer a lot of ridicule.
Furthermore, Fifth Master's blood loss this time was after he went to Miss Shi Nian's place, so it's obvious that it must be related to Miss Shi Nian.
He felt that Miss Shi Nian had always been so ruthless towards Fifth Master, and that she must not have loved him at all, otherwise she couldn't have been so cruel.
But now he actually saw Miss Shi Nian giving Fifth Master such a look...
Was he seeing things?
Upon hearing Zhou Zheng's voice, Shi Nian suddenly snapped back to reality.
The warmth in her eyes vanished quickly, replaced by a chilling, sinister look as she stared at Zhou Zheng.
