To outsiders, Wen Huaiyan's second uncle was a rather philandering man, like the kind of carefree prince from ancient times. However, he was not as simple as he seemed. Wen Huaiyan's first major pitfall was with him.
At that time, Wen Huaiyan had just come of age. He embezzled the subsidiary that Wen Huaiyan had worked so hard to build, squandered it all, and not only left Wen Huaiyan with a debt to deal with, but also went abroad to enjoy himself.
"Why aren't you out yet?"
Li Ruo's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at the man in front of her with a smile.
"I see there's trash all over your floor, so I'd like to help you clean it up."
As she spoke, Li Ruo quickly tidied up everything in front of her.
After tidying up, she obediently stepped aside.
"Mr. Wen, you look very tired."
Wen Huaiyan glanced at her, and the tingling and numbness in his neck immediately surged to the back of his head.
He was definitely not feeling well.
With keen insight, Li Ruo stepped forward and gently grasped a spot near his shoulder with her small hand.
“Mr. Wen, I used to massage my adoptive mother’s shoulders and legs often. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Wen Huaiyan particularly dislikes others touching him without permission.
But when the woman placed her hand on him, he didn't feel too much resistance.
Wen Huaiyan let out a long sigh.
"Um."
The air fell silent as Li Ruo carefully moved her fingers.
As she said, she had indeed learned quite a few related techniques.
She knew all too well that when people were tired, massaging or kneading the right spots could help them relax as quickly as possible.
Looking down at Wen Huaiyan as he comfortably closed his eyes, Li Ruo knew that her technique had been recognized.
The atmosphere between the two became increasingly pleasant, and Li Ruo spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Why are you at the hospital today?"
Seeing that the other party remained silent for a long time, Li Ruo spoke again.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
The person in front of him did not respond after he finished speaking.
So Li Ruo cautiously peeked out and saw Wen Huaiyan's handsome face relax.
He—is asleep.
In his sleep, Wen Huaiyan shed his usual coldness, and his face became much more gentle.
The light from the computer screen shone on his face, making his already perfect and outstanding features look even more like a work of art.
Looks like he's really tired.
Li Ruo let out a long breath, thinking that she would probably have to try to get information out of him at another time.
She tidied up the table for Wen Huaiyan and then brought a blanket to cover him.
When she left the room, she thoughtfully turned off the lights, leaving only the smallest one on the table.
...
Wen Huaiyan probably woke up around midnight.
He was sore all over because he had been in the same position for too long.
Only a small area near the neck, soft and relaxing.
A clean, warm blanket came into view, and Wen Huaiyan recalled the scene before falling asleep.
He remembered that the woman entered the room, and then he just wanted to close his eyes, but he fell asleep without realizing it.
He has always been a very guarded person and has never let his guard down in front of anyone, but now he has broken his guard in front of a woman.
Then, Wen Huaiyan saw a spotless room with neatly categorized files.
Finally, his gaze fell on the table.
Compared to everything around it, the apple slices cut into little rabbit shapes on the plate looked so out of place.
But this slight difference, like a breeze, blew into the cracks of Wen Huaiyan's heart, stirring up ripples in his calm lake of mind.
Wen Huaiyan is actually the youngest son in the family. Only Wen Huaiyan knows the hardships and loneliness he has endured to get to where he is today in a family with a strict hierarchy of elders and juniors.
Over the years, he seems to have gotten used to being alone.
Suddenly, someone appeared, bringing such a cute thing into his world. Wen Huaiyan felt that the previously orderly world was undergoing an uncontrollable change.
But what puzzled Wen Huaiyan was that he didn't seem to resist.
The apple slices were already a bit soggy.
But Wen Huaiyan still ate two or three before getting up, clutching the blanket.
When I returned to the room, she was already asleep. There was a cup of warm milk on the bedside table, and on a sticky note on the side were three cute, round characters.
"For you."
The feeling of being hit in the left chest again.
Looking down at that peaceful sleeping face, Wen Huaiyan suddenly felt that having such a little thing by his side was better than he had imagined.
He changed his clothes and lay down to sleep. The little guy whimpered and snuggled up to him almost immediately.
The soft, warm body pressed against him, and Wen Huaiyan's heart softened.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head.
The other person's actions left Li Ruo feeling somewhat half-asleep.
The moment she opened her mouth, it was in a soft, coquettish tone, sounding somewhat anxious.
"I saved some milk for you."
"I know."
The night grew longer and longer.
Certain emotions are quietly spreading in this long night.
Early the next morning.
When Li Ruo woke up, Wen Huaiyan had already left.
She wasn't surprised, and simply got up as usual.
Later, I learned from the housekeeper that I was no longer required to enter or leave within a specified time.
Along with this news came a text message from an unknown number.
The tone of the text message was self-righteous, even commanding.
