Chapter 835

Xiao Churan crawled into Ye Chen's bed and gently hugged his waist.

At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Having been with Ye Chen for so long, this was the first time she had hugged him like this. Although she felt very secure, her heart was still racing with nervousness.

Ye Chen, who had been thinking about things, was startled by Xiao Churan's movement.

When he turned his face, Xiao Churan was also startled by him.

Xiao Churan's pretty face immediately became burning hot, and she stammered, "Husband, you... you're not asleep yet?"

Ye Chen also explained in a flustered manner, "I was asleep, but I woke up again..."

After finishing, he couldn't help but ask, "Wife, why did you crawl into my bed?"

Xiao Churan said with great embarrassment, "That... I... I just... I just..."

Xiao Churan muttered stammeringly for a long time before she simply steeled her heart and said, "I just can't bear for you to go on a long trip again, so I want to sleep while hugging you. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "Silly girl, your husband will be back in a few days."

"Yeah." Xiao Churan leaned gently in Ye Chen's arms and said with a smile, "I found that sleeping while hugging you like this really gives me a sense of security."

Ye Chen smiled, "Then can I level up again in the future? How about we sleep in the same bed from now on?"

Xiao Churan was immediately embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Leveling up isn't impossible, but for now, we can only level up one level..."

According to Ye Chen's previous routine, he would definitely ask Xiao Churan when he could level up to the max and when they could have a child. After all, even Ma Lan supported them having a child soon.

Perhaps, he could have pushed the boat with the current and gotten things done between the couple.

However, because Ito Nanako's figure always unconsciously emerged in Ye Chen's mind, he always felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.

That feeling was like a thorn stuck in Ye Chen's heart, instantly making him much calmer.

Thus, he gently hugged Xiao Churan and said softly, "It's okay, leveling up one level is fine. Sleeping while hugging you is quite good."

Now, it was Xiao Churan's turn to be surprised.

She had originally thought that Ye Chen would definitely try to pester her.

However, she never expected Ye Chen to accept it so easily.

This suddenly caused a sense of loss to linger in her heart.

In fact, after spending so much time together, she already had deep feelings and reliance on Ye Chen.

However, she was, after all, a girl who had not experienced such things, and she had more or less hesitation and worry about breaking through that layer of relationship.

If Ye Chen had been very proactive, she might have steeled her heart and let him be.

But Ye Chen was suddenly so calm, which really surprised her.

She really wanted to ask Ye Chen why he was acting so indifferent today—did he not like her anymore?

However, she soon felt that she really couldn't bring herself to say such things, so she could only hide it deeply in her heart.

Soon, Ye Chen beside her made the sound of even breathing. Xiao Churan sighed in her heart and slowly fell asleep with a sense of loss.

The next morning, Ye Chen woke up very early.

In fact, he didn't sleep very well all night.

For some reason, as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of Ito Nanako.

During this period, many women had appeared around Ye Chen.

Whether it was Song Wanting, Qin Aoxue, or Chen Xiaozhao, Li Xiaofen, and Gu Qiuyi, although these women all made him feel a bit moved to some extent, none of them made him feel heartache like Ito Nanako.

Gu Qiuyi had waited for him for so many years and searched for him for so many years. Ye Chen did feel very guilty, but Gu Qiuyi was, after all, born into a large family and was pampered by her parents in every way.

After becoming an adult, she became an internationally renowned superstar and was pursued and loved by countless people.

Even without him, her life had been very wonderful, very wealthy, and very happy.

But Nanako was different.

Although she was also born into a wealthy family and was pampered by her family, she was indeed too seriously injured in that battle with Qin Aoxue.

Suffering such a serious injury, the dual blow to her body and spirit was definitely something an ordinary girl could never experience in a lifetime.

Moreover, Ye Chen could also imagine that although she was now out of danger, she must be suffering from the torture of her injuries every moment. This feeling must be very painful.

And she didn't have to play this match originally.

However, she gave her all just to make him look at her with admiration.

Even in the match before the one with Qin Aoxue, she waited bitterly for a chance to win in one move just to make him notice her, not caring even if she got injured.

Ye Chen knew very well that if it weren't for him, how could Nanako have been injured so seriously?

It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen had always felt heartache for her appearance when she was injured.

Ye Chen had also reflected that as a married man, in terms of reason and emotion, he shouldn't feel heartache for other women, let alone a Japanese woman.

However, that mood was completely beyond his control.

After washing up, Ye Chen quietly left the bedroom without waking Xiao Churan, who was still fast asleep.

At this time, Chen Zekai had already brought his entourage and was waiting at the entrance of Tang Chen Yi Pin.

Ye Chen went downstairs and saw that Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan hadn't woken up yet, so he left a note and then walked out of the house quickly.

At the entrance of Tang Chen Yi Pin.

Several Rolls-Royces were parked side by side. As soon as Ye Chen came out, Chen Zekai and his subordinates all got out of the cars, bowed respectfully to him, and said in unison, "Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen nodded and got into the same car with Chen Zekai.

As soon as he got in the car, Chen Zekai immediately said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, Paul and Wei Liang are going on their own, and Hong Wu is taking Ichiro Kobayashi from the dog kennel. We only need to meet them at the airport. The plane and flight crew are already prepared. We can depart anytime once everyone is here!"

Ye Chen gave a hum. The biggest difference between a private jet and a regular commercial flight is that the time is relatively free. As long as the flight route for today is applied for, theoretically, it can depart at any time. Arrive early and take off early; arrive late and take off late.

He now had a thought in his subconscious: hurry to Tokyo to get things done, and then head straight to Kyoto.

For some reason, Ito Nanako had become a curse in his heart, constantly emerging and constantly affecting his emotions.

He felt that this might mainly be because he had some sympathy for Ito Nanako's plight. If he cured her, this inner demon would naturally disappear.

Thus, he said to Chen Zekai impatiently, "Alright, time waits for no one. Let's go quickly!"
