Chapter 1334: Chapter 1335: Chu Xiâs Secret Schemes
Her heart felt all tingly and cozy as if she just soaked in a hot spring, her whole body engulfed in warmth and comfort. She tried hard to suppress a smile and changed the topic, tilting her head up, âYou had time to come see me, all finished with your work?â
Li Shengxiaoâs lips pressed together, âAlmost. Shall we go? Want to head back? Or would you rather not venture out and just stay here to sleep? Iâm fine with either.â
Staying hereâŠ
Rong Yan thought for a moment, actually preferring to go back. She had a selective preference for beds and easily suffered insomnia in unfamiliar places.
But then.
After pondering, she looked up and said, âLetâs just sleep here. Itâs already 2 a.m., I canât be bothered to move. Going back would get us there around 3 a.m., hardly any sleep before weâd need to rise, which is too troublesome.â
He had been so busy today, nearly pulling an all-nighter, tomorrow surely wouldnât be any easier. If they went back to sleep, he might only manage about three hours of rest. Staying here, at least, was closer to his office, saving travel time back and forth, allowing him a bit more rest.
He was so busy today he didnât even have time for meals, Rong Yan would be lying if she said she wasnât heartbroken. She couldnât whimsically interfere with his work, but at least she could help him get a bit more sleep.
âSure you want to sleep here?â
âSure!â
Li Shengxiao thought she was just too lazy to move and hadnât thought it all through, he placed her book on the bedside table saying, âItâs really late, better sleep now, Iâm going take a shower.â
âOkay. Iâll wait for you to come.â
Li Shengxiao turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness, the silhouette of objects barely visible in the dim light filtering in from outside.
âGo to sleep, donât wait for me, darling. Good night.â
Thump-thump, thump-thump, Rong Yanâs heart raced ferociously, as if about to burst out of her chest, only until the faint mint scent faded away from the bedside in the darkness did she feel like she could breathe freely!
A good nightâs sleep.
The next day.
As the morning sun barely broke through the clouds, a sensational news surfaced online.
â âWealthy scion changes girlfriends, âGossip Queenâ tragically dumped, international actress truly ascends?!â
The headline was crafted to capture attention, and to entice readers further, several blurry photos were included.
In the photos, Li Shengxiao and Chu Xi appeared close and intimate, their attractive appearances combining like a visual feast, resembling a still from a romantic drama, brimming with an air of romance, as if pink bubbles flowed between them.
But thatâs not all, crucially, the pair were seen entering and leaving the same hotel together.
According to the news, paparazzi had been stalking outside for over a week, during which the pair stayed together the whole time.
The article even used a sickeningly sweet tone to describe their relationship, just stopping short of explicitly stating they were a couple!
Due to a series of melodramatic events recently involving Rong Yan, she had been the hot topic, and any news surrounding her drew keen interest. This piece of news immediately became the hot topic of the morning discussions.
[Rong Yan got dumped? Haha, greeted by good news first thing in the morning, no wonder they said the sun seemed exceptionally comforting today.]
[The person above, are you sick? Celebrating someoneâs breakup like itâs a festival, only someone usually lacking love would have such a dark mentality!]
