Chapter 1331: Chapter 1332: Occupied His Lounge
Li Shengxiaoâs office did indeed have a small room, which wasnât very large, about ten square meters.
Inside was a 1.8-meter wide soft bed, and aside from the bed, there was a black, minimalist wardrobe and a bookshelf. The wardrobe held only a few pieces of clothing, a high-end grey sleeping robe and a bathrobe of a similar color scheme, with a pair of menâs slippers neatly placed below.
Li Shengxiao took down the slippers and bathrobe and placed them in front of her, âThereâs also a small bathroom inside, equipped with facial cleanser, toothbrush, towels, all new. You can use them if you need. Wear my robe for now; if youâre not comfortable, Iâll ask Gu Ming to buy a ladyâs one for you.â
âOkay.â
âIâll be outside, call me if you need anything. Rest assured and sleep; the soundproofing here is very good, it wonât be noisy from outside.â
Rong Yan nodded her head, âRemember to wake me up after you finish your work.â
Li Shengxiao bent over, his fingertips brushing over her lips as lightly as if he were wiping away a spec of dust that accidentally landed there. Despite the abstinent and indifferent expression on his handsome face, she couldnât help but feel a tingling sensation as if an electric current passed through her lipsâŠ
Fortunately, it was only a brief touch, and his hand quickly withdrew.
His voice was low and husky as he instructed, âSince youâre here, get some good sleep. Iâm heading out now.â
âGo ahead.â Rong Yanâs earlobes flushed, she waved her hand and watched him leave the room.
âClickâ, the room door closed.
Rong Yan took the oversized sleeping robe into the washroom to change, and it was just as well that it was a robe, otherwise the menâs sizing would have been way too big on her. After tying the waistband, she found it unexpectedly not too bad.
She had already brushed her teeth and bathed before coming to Li Group, so there was no need to do it again. After changing into the pajamas, Rong Yan straightforwardly approached the bookshelf and casually picked a book to read on the bed.
The books on Li Shengxiaoâs shelf were obviously not the storytelling type, and she hadnât held out much hope, just randomly selecting one to pass the time and to help her feel sleepy. But to her surprise, as she read on, she found the book on corporate management she had picked up was unexpectedly good.
Not only was the authorâs writing style fresh and interesting, but it also had many notes marked by a fountain pen. The pages with the notes had yellowed, showing they were written a long time ago, and from the handwriting, one could see that the person writing them was rigid and neat, yet rather juvenile. It had a long way to go before it could match his current bold and fluid script.
Rong Yan didnât know if it was the content of the book or the immature handwriting that captivated her, but she found herself engrossed in a finance book, reading with great interest. The more she read, the clearer her mind became, sweeping away any sleepiness. She didnât even realize how long she had been reading until the smartphone under her pillow vibrated.
She reluctantly shifted her gaze from the book and picked up the phone.
A new message had arrived.
[LSX]: [Why havenât you slept yet?]
Rong Yan glanced outside, seeing only the closed door. She shifted her posture to lie on the bed and quickly typed out a reply: [How did you know, are you done with your work?]
A new message arrived quickly, just one short sentence: [Itâs already 2 a.m.]
Damn.
Rong Yan instinctively checked the time on her phone, and indeed, two hours had passed without her realization.
