Chapter 435
An Ruo was waiting at home for Tang Yuchen to return. It was very late, and he hadn’t come back yet.
Aunt Zhou asked her to go to the room to rest, but she shook her head and continued to sit on the sofa waiting for him.
When Tang Yuchen returned, she had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
She was awakened by his kisses; he kissed her lips and cheeks, looking at her with a very intense gaze.
An Ruo, groggily opening her eyes, cupped his face and asked him, “You seem troubled. What happened?”
“Nothing, I just haven’t seen you for half a day and missed you a lot.” The man held her hand and kissed it at his lips.
“Liar!” An Ruo poked his chest with her finger, yet her lips curled into a sweet smile.
Who would miss someone just after half a day? He was exaggerating too much.
Tang Yuchen hugged her tightly, his face buried in her neck, and muttered, “I’m not lying, I really missed you.”
“What’s really going on?” She could feel he was troubled. As she stroked his head, she hoped he would share his burdens with her, so she could help lighten his load.
The man gently shook his head: “Just very sleepy, want to go to sleep.”
“Then let’s go back to the room to rest.”
“Okay.” He stood up, carried her in his arms, and strode toward the bedroom.
Placing An Ruo on the bed, he lay down fully clothed, pulled over the covers, held her, and gave her a goodnight kiss.
“Go to sleep. Next time, go to bed on time and don’t wait for me.”
“Okay.” An Ruo nodded, but actually, even if she were lying in bed, she wouldn’t be able to sleep. If she couldn’t wait for him to return, she would feel a bit worried.
Tang Yuchen switched off the light, and the room was plunged into darkness.
An Ruo quickly fell asleep in his arms, but he couldn’t sleep. Thinking about what Uncle Liang had said that day and the sight of Lan Keren weighed heavily on his mind, preventing him from sleeping.
The next morning, when An Ruo woke up, Tang Yuchen had already left the house.
When exactly he had gotten up, she didn’t feel at all.
Soon it was noon, the usual time when he would rush back to have lunch with her. But today, he called at noon to say that he had things to handle and couldn’t come back for lunch, asking her to eat on her own.
An Ruo thought that something must have happened at his company.
She wasn’t insensible; she understood his busyness and supported him greatly.
It was just that, not seeing him for half the day, she missed him immensely. She finally understood what he had said yesterday; indeed, not seeing him for a while made her miss him a lot.
Tang Yuchen returned on time in the afternoon. An Ruo asked him if he was tired from work, and he smiled and said he wasn’t. Seeing his usual complexion not looking troubled, she felt much relieved.
After eating, An Ruo went to take a bath. While the man worked in the study, she watched TV after her bath, their routine remaining the same as before.
When it was time to sleep, Tang Yuchen stopped working and pulled her back to the bedroom to sleep.
In the middle of the night, his phone rang. Being a light sleeper, the vibration woke him instantly. He grabbed his phone and quietly stepped out to the balcony to answer it.
After a while, he returned to the bedroom, saw An Ruo still sleeping soundly, gave her a kiss, and then quietly left the room.
Another day began, and once again, An Ruo got up and didn’t see Tang Yuchen.
She stepped out of the bedroom and asked Aunt Zhou if she knew when Tang Yuchen had left.
Aunt Zhou said she didn’t know; by the time she got up, the young master had already left.
Aunt Zhou usually got up at six-thirty. Why had Tang Yuchen left so early?
