Tang Yanqi knew Sheng Jianan was just joking, or maybe he said sothing offhandedly about the topic, but still, her heart was inexplicably ward.
Feeling a slight sting in her nose, Tang Yanqi quickly turned her head to the side; she didn’t want Sheng Jianan to see the vulnerability in her eyes.
She was used to bearing everything herself, accustod to appearing strong. She really wasn’t used to showing her weak and helpless side to others, especially not to Sheng Jianan.
Even on the night when Bai Bing had an accident, Tang Yanqi never thought of looking for Sheng Jianan. She thought of finding soone from the Tang Family. They used each other, only having a relationship based on interests without any emotional factors, which made handling things more convenient.
Collecting her emotions, Tang Yanqi turned her head and continued eating. She didn’t know what Sheng Jianan was thinking, but he actually sat with her, slowly waiting for her to finish eating, and then Sheng Jianan picked up the tray and walked out.
This afternoon, Tang Yanqi had classes, but in her current state, she couldn’t attend. Those classes weren’t absolutely necessary, but being a good student, Tang Yanqi wasn’t in the habit of skipping classes.
She took out her phone and sent Qi Cheng a ssage, asking her to help excuse her. Seeing the ssage sent successfully, Tang Yanqi helplessly chuckled, realizing that since marrying into the Sheng Family, she’s possibly used up all her allowed absences from her student years.
Just as Tang Yanqi put down her phone, it rang again. Glancing at the ssage content, a hint of helplessness crossed Tang Yanqi’s eyes; she really couldn’t keep it hidden.
[Tangtang, Bingbing asked if I knew about your relationship with the jerk, how should I reply?]
Tang Yanqi gently pressed her lips together and slowly typed back to Qi Cheng [I’ll explain when I return.]
Although Tang Yanqi didn’t want to make her relationship with Sheng Jianan public, because this relationship wouldn’t last long. In ti, she would return to her rightful place, and she and Sheng Jianan would part ways.
But since her roommates asked, Tang Yanqi wouldn’t hide it.
After replying to the ssage, Tang Yanqi sighed. In the future, she really needed to keep her distance from Sheng Jianan outside. Bai Bing noticed the signs because she was sharp, but Bai Bing wasn’t the only clever one.
If soone else picked up on sothing, the trouble would really beco overwhelming.
After resting at the villa for a day, Sheng Jianan had a last-minute video conference in the evening and stayed in the study room very late, avoiding any potential awkwardness.
When he returned to the room, Tang Yanqi was already sound asleep, with the main light turned off and only a soft orange lamp left on the bedside.
The warm orange lamp light made the room dim yet cozy. Sheng Jianan couldn’t help but move quietly.
He slowly sat down by Tang Yanqi’s bed, looking at her side profile. A trace of gentleness appeared on Sheng Jianan’s face. His gaze gradually moved downward; Tang Yanqi always slept neatly, but today, a bit unexpectedly, she was leaning to one side. Her pajama collar was slightly pulled open, clearly revealing her graceful collarbone.
Sheng Jianan narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and lightly kissed her collarbone.
It wasn’t clear if his action disturbed Tang Yanqi, but in her sleep, she moved slightly. The subtle motion caused her collarbone to bashly bump against Sheng Jianan’s lips.
Sheng Jianan reflexively pulled back, giving a sowhat reproachful glance at the still sleeping person. Was this woman doing it on purpose?
