Chapter 1449: Chapter 1450: She Has Her Own Set of Rules

That spot—just one shot, and a strong man could spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!

When his eyes narrowed slightly, his face appeared cold and distant. His fingertip gently pressed on the area she mentioned, the warmth easing the stiffness of the small woman’s waist. His thin lips tightened into a straight line. “You really don’t need my help with the Lemon matter?”

“Hm?”

Rong Yan felt so comfortable that she almost wanted to sleep. She let out a little yawn, her eyelids halfway closed, her voice lethargic, “No need, I’ve already taken care of it.”

Li Shengxiao’s eyes were bottomless, his voice deep, “In the future, you’ll encounter countless situations just like Lemon Entertainment’s, maybe even more difficult ones. Are you planning to handle every single one by yourself?”

“Well, yeah?” Rong Yan really wanted to sleep. She was so tired, exhausted to the point she didn’t have the energy to talk to him anymore. Her brain, lulled into comfort, began to slow down. She wasn’t thinking much, her mind blank as she yawned again, her bright eyes hazy with drowsiness, mumbling, “If I don’t move faster, how can I catch up to you? I can’t make you wait for me forever… What if one day you get tired of waiting? Who am I supposed to turn to then? Difficult situations are just that—difficult. There’s always a way to solve them. Problems exist for people to solve, don’t they? Nothing’s more difficult than dealing with you.”

He was far too alluring, his appearance drawing both men and women toward him easily. One rival after another kept appearing. Though he’d been steadfast for now, who knew if one day he might give in to temptation and run off with someone?

And then there was his family—Mrs. Lin was one thing; she’d been lucky to have someone likeable as her future mother-in-law. But the other members of his family clearly didn’t like her, and not just superficially. It was the kind of dislike rooted in disapproval—the kind where they didn’t see her as good enough.

“You’re so difficult to deal with, but I still haven’t given up. Hm… opportunities are always reserved for those prepared…” She yawned again, her eyelids now fully glued shut, completely unable to open them. “I want to sleep now. I’ll shower in the morning when I wake up.”

She was utterly spent, completely drained from the day.

There wouldn’t be as much to deal with tomorrow. She figured she could head to the office later in the day without any trouble.

Phew, let’s sleep first and deal with everything tomorrow!

For now, unless the sky was falling, no one had better try to stop her from sleeping~

The small woman’s mumbling grew quieter, fading into the gentle sound of her even breathing. The room fell into complete silence—a stillness so serene, it felt as though her earlier muttering had been nothing but a dream’s murmurings.

Li Shengxiao, however, found himself distracted by her few casual words, so much so that he hadn’t even noticed when his movements had come to a stop. By the time he returned to his senses, Rong Yan was already fast asleep, her soft snores audible.

She had always been quiet when sleeping, never budging an inch from where she placed her hands or feet throughout the night. He’d read about it in psychology books before—people like this often experienced emotional wounds in childhood, leading to a heightened sense of caution as adults. Even in their sleep, they mentally draw a demarcation line for themselves and are unwilling to cross it, not letting their hands or feet stray beyond the imaginary boundary. In their subconscious minds, anything outside those lines equates to danger—something they neither want nor dare to confront.

For a long time now, he had understood that, in Rong Yan’s heart, he belonged to the ‘dangerous’ zone outside her life’s demarcation line. She was wary and refused to step into his territory. Even after he had forced her to stay within it, she constantly cloaked herself in layers, unwilling to take even a single step further. She kept their interactions calculated and precise, never indulging herself.
