Chapter 1949: No Other Choice

Now in the living room, only Wei Yangyang was left alone.

It was very quiet.

Wei Yangyang sat there bored for a while, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

It was truly strange; she wasn't usually this sleepy, was she?

Wei Yangyang yawned again, and in the end, she still let a servant take her to the guest room.

Meanwhile, the two mothers in the garden had already begun to converse.

Jiang Baobao asked first, "Yangyang shouldn't suspect anything, right?"

"She won't. If Yangyang really suspected something, she would have left directly."

"It's good that she doesn't suspect anything. Sigh, the children have things on their minds, but they won't say, so we can only match wits with them."

"Who's to say otherwise."

"By the way, did Xingyan really send over that many gifts?"

"Indeed, I even suspect that Doctor Xu is an inside contact for Xingyan..."

The two mothers chatted happily.

Just as they were chatting about the key point, the two heard the sound of a car engine.

Jiang Baobao looked at the time and immediately knew in her heart who had returned.

Soon, a slender figure walked out of the car.

Li Xingyan saw Jiang Baobao and Wei Mama in the garden.

The moment he caught sight of Wei Mama, a certain thought flashed through Li Xingyan's mind.

But that little thought quickly vanished.

Afterward, Li Xingyan walked over as if nothing were the matter and greeted Wei Mama, "Auntie."

Wei Mama nodded with a smile.

Jiang Baobao then said, "Today, your Auntie Wei brought Yangyang over to visit."

Hearing the name Wei Yangyang suddenly, the calm Li Xingyan was feigning almost couldn't be maintained.

He lowered his eyes and did not pick up his mother's topic, instead saying, "I came back to get a document and will leave immediately."

"Oh, then go ahead."

After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she turned her head and continued chatting with Wei Mama.

The two mothers seemed not to have taken Li Xingyan's return to heart at all.

But inside, Li Xingyan's heart had already stirred with waves.

Li Xingyan hesitated for a moment, then stepped away.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the scent of calming incense in the air.

This scent was very pleasant; lighting it when one couldn't sleep... one would still be unable to sleep; Li Xingyan had already tried it.

He looked around the living room but did not see the figure of Wei Yangyang.

Where was she? Wasn't it said that she was here too?

Li Xingyan looked suspicious.

But he did not linger too long before returning to his bedroom.

Yet in the bedroom, he did not see the materials he wanted.

Helpless, he stopped a servant and asked, "Where are the materials I left in the room?"

"Ah... those materials fell to the floor, and I thought they were useless, so I..."

Li Xingyan frowned and questioned, "You didn't destroy them, did you?"

"No, no, I put them all in the guest room, just waiting for you to return and ask about them before deciding how to handle them."

It was good they weren't lost; Li Xingyan still had use for those documents.

The next instant, Li Xingyan waved his hand and ordered the servant, "Go get them."

The servant did not move, but said with difficulty, "It's better to wait a while."

"Why wait?"

"Because Miss Wei is currently sleeping in that guest room."

Hearing this, Li Xingyan was stunned.

No wonder he hadn't seen Wei Yangyang.

So she had hidden away to sleep.

A sudden softness appeared in Li Xingyan's heart.

But soon, he began to hesitate.

If he had to wait for Wei Yangyang to wake up before getting the documents, the two of them would inevitably run into each other.

But given the current situation, it was better for them not to meet; it would easily be awkward.

But if he didn't wait for her to wake up...

Then he could only sneak in quietly himself, then take the documents and leave.

Doing this was very rude, but... did Li Xingyan have any other choice?

In the end, Li Xingyan still decided to go to the guest room.

He quietly pushed the door open, walked in, and then saw Wei Yangyang lying on the bed.

Wei Yangyang was not sleeping very deeply; hearing the sound of the door opening, her brows moved imperceptibly.

Li Xingyan did not want to wake her, so his movements as he walked were very light.

But there were no documents in the room.

Li Xingyan felt restless.

He also really wanted to settle the score with that servant.

But...

His legs, which should have walked away, instead moved toward the bedside.

When Wei Yangyang was asleep, her features were relaxed, her lips slightly parted, and one hand was resting beside the pillow.

Li Xingyan looked at her, his cold eyes gradually softening.

Wei Yangyang had originally been covered by a blanket.

He didn't know when, but she had kicked the blanket away.

Worried she might catch a cold, Li Xingyan gently covered her with the blanket.

Yet at that very instant, Wei Yangyang suddenly opened her eyes!

She even saw Li Xingyan hovering over her!!

Li Xingyan was extremely nervous; his mind was racing, trying to think of something to say to explain...

But Wei Yangyang didn't even give him a chance to explain before she shoved him away.

Then she rolled over and muttered, "Even when I'm sleeping, you come to bother me!"

Wei Yangyang wanted to go back to sleep.

But the sensation from that touch just now...

Wei Yangyang immediately opened her eyes!

She even sat up all at once!

As a result, the movement was too abrupt, and she hurt her wound.

Li Xingyan immediately crouched beside Wei Yangyang and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It, it hurts!"

"Should I call a doctor?"

"No need, let me recover for a moment..."

Wei Yangyang waited for the pain to subside.

Once the pain faded, awkwardness... emerged between the two of them.

Li Xingyan also saw that Wei Yangyang was no longer in pain, so he stood up and resumed his cold demeanor: "Why did you come here?"

Wei Yangyang had come here to help Li Xingyan vet his blind date candidates.

But she didn't have the guts to tell the truth.

She only vaguely said, "My mother and I came to visit, and then I got a bit tired, so I took a nap. Um, were you planning to use this bedroom? I won't disturb you."

Wei Yangyang started to leave.

Li Xingyan then said, "You rest. I came here to look for some documents. But I didn't find them; perhaps the servant remembered wrong."

Documents?

Wei Yangyang remembered being groggy with sleepiness.

After entering the room, she had collapsed onto the bed to sleep.

But out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to have spotted something like documents.

As for where...

Wei Yangyang suddenly remembered!

But this outcome was not looking good...

Wei Yangyang swallowed, then lifted the blanket.

She saw that right where she had been lying, there was a stack of documents that had been pressed and wrinkled!

Wei Yangyang cursed silently!

She could even feel cold air "whooshing" around her.

The next second...

"Wei Yangyang, are you completely oblivious when you sleep!"

Wei Yangyang picked up the documents and pressed her small hand against the wrinkles.

Then she lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I was too tired, and I didn't look carefully..."

"You're this sleepy in broad daylight, are you a pig!"

As soon as he said this, Li Xingyan regretted it.

Not to mention that she was a guest who had come to visit.

Just looking at the fact that Wei Yangyang was injured, he shouldn't have blamed her.

After all, a wounded person should get more rest.

The more Li Xingyan thought about it, the more annoyed he became; he even decided to apologize for his rashness.

Who knew...

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
