Shen Qi instinctively glanced down at her chest. Hmm, compared to Western women, it did seem a bit small... But that wasn’t the real issue! How did he know her size? Shen Qi instinctively covered her chest and looked at He Yining warily. He Yining raised an eyebrow at her. “Do you think you’re better looking than me? So, the one who should be worried is me, isn’t it?” Shen Qi hesitated. That was true, but... “Alright, it’s late. Time to rest.” He Yining tossed the book in his hand aside. Shen Qi stood there, torn for a long time, before finally shuffling over to the bed. It wasn’t like it was the first time they’d slept in the same bed! Hmph, who’s afraid of who? Eyes shut, heart steeled. Shen Qi flipped open the covers and slipped in. As she lay down, she nearly moaned in comfort. He Yining really knew how to enjoy life! Such a cozy blanket, such a cozy bed. He Yining’s phoenix eyes slanted as he watched Shen Qi turn her back to him, her small figure so close. He felt immensely pleased. The lights went off, and the two lay on opposite sides, but neither seemed able to fall asleep. This time, Shen Qi was only wearing He Yining’s shirt, unlike at Mo Ge’s place where she had on a full, snug cartoon pajama set. Any slight movement, and her long legs would be exposed. So, Shen Qi lay there stiffly, not daring to move an inch. He Yining had always been a light sleeper, and now there was a woman beside him wearing his shirt... And she was a woman he didn’t dislike—in fact, he kind of liked her... The thought of that woman in his shirt under the covers, just a step away, left He Yining inexplicably parched. Truth be told, he hadn’t forgotten that kiss from tonight. The moment he fell onto the big bed, his drunkenness had already faded. But for some reason, he’d pretended to be drunk, even forcefully holding her down. When she bit him, he’d inexplicably wanted to taste her lips. And sure enough, when he kissed her fiercely, he found her lips even sweeter than he’d imagined. So much so that he nearly lost control. Just holding her, he realized for the first time that he couldn’t control his own body... In utter desperation, he’d pretended to be sick and rushed to the bathroom, dousing himself with cold water. But even then, he didn’t want her to leave... For no reason, he just wanted to keep her by his side... Shen Qi gradually fell asleep. Hearing her steady breathing, He Yining crept closer, carefully sliding his arm under her neck, gently pulling her into his embrace, and only then did he drift off contentedly. Shen Qi slept like a log. When she opened her eyes, it was already late morning. Turning over, she realized He Yining was gone. Ah, seriously. How could she sleep so deeply in his room? Just as Shen Qi sat up, before she could get out of bed, two maids knocked and entered. They’d clearly been waiting outside for a while, only coming in after she woke up. One maid carried a set of exquisite pure white clothes, the other a pair of very beautiful shoes. Shen Qi stared at them, at a loss. “Miss Shen, the CEO instructed you to change and come downstairs for a meal,” the maids said, setting down the clothes and shoes before leaving. Shen Qi looked at the fine garments and quickly called them back: “Excuse me, where are my own clothes?” “They’ve been disposed of,” one maid replied with a smile. “The CEO said if you don’t wear these, your phone won’t be compensated.” Phone? Right! That man had thrown her phone into the pool! Ah... He was absolutely insufferable! After the maids left, Shen Qi grabbed the clothes and hurriedly put them on. Hmm, why were the sizes so perfect? It must be a coincidence, right? Shen Qi didn’t dwell on it. She went to the bathroom to freshen up, then slowly made her way down the stairs. At the dining room, she spotted He Yining in a white shirt and dark gray trousers, sitting at one end of the table, reading a company briefing. Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia stood nearby, greeting her with smiles as she came down: “Good morning, Miss Shen!” “Oh, good morning.” Shen Qi felt a bit embarrassed. Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia wouldn’t misunderstand, would they? Well, she had brought He Yining back last night and hadn’t gone home... Yeah, this was really hard to explain... Seeing He Yining look up at her, Shen Qi braced herself and said, “Good morning, CEO He.” “Call me by my name.” He Yining suddenly found “CEO He” grating! No wonder he’d always felt a distance between them. That was it. Shen Qi looked at him blankly. Was calling him CEO He wrong? Xiao Xia pulled out a chair for Shen Qi, who sat down dazedly. “Thanks!” “CEO He—” Shen Qi started, but He Yining’s phoenix eyes narrowed, his aura flaring, startling her into correcting herself: “He... Yining.” Satisfied, He Yining withdrew his presence and returned to the briefing. “Hmm?” “If there’s nothing today, can I go back?” Shen Qi asked nervously. Hearing how eager she was to leave, a flicker of displeasure crossed He Yining’s phoenix eyes. Just then, Xiao Chun, ever perceptive, stepped in: “CEO, shall we serve breakfast now?” He Yining nodded. Xiao Chun turned and signaled the head chef and maids, who paraded in with breakfast, laying it out on the table in a grand display. Shen Qi had never seen such an extravagant breakfast! It was just breakfast! But there were already dozens of items! The entire table was packed! Each portion was tiny, but the craftsmanship was exquisite and refined. Shen Qi stared at the dizzying array of food, unsure where to start. As she sat there, lost in thought, He Yining suddenly pushed a bowl of congee toward her. Shen Qi quickly thanked him and took a couple of sips. When she looked up, He Yining was still watching her. Startled, Shen Qi tentatively pushed some crystal dumplings toward him. A hint of pleasure flickered in He Yining’s eyes as he ate every last dumpling she’d offered. After the meal, Shen Qi wanted to find an excuse to leave, but He Yining spoke before she could: “I might need you to stay over often. Go to the butler later and leave your measurements. Register your fingerprint at the gate of Jinghua Manor.” Shen Qi froze. What did that mean? Leave her measurements? Register her fingerprint? Was he saying she could come and go freely at Jinghua Manor?
