Chapter 39

Chapter 39

He Wei knew this was a normal male physiological reaction. If it were at ordinary times, she could understand it.

But at this moment, the man was holding her from behind, and that aroused part was pressed so conspicuously against her leg. The pleasure of seeing a scumbag being tormented instantly weakened by half. He Wei subtly bent her leg, held her breath, and tried to keep her voice as steady and normal as possible. “……It’s fine.”

This was the truth.

Although she had a hangover after waking up, when she was sleeping she actually slept even more deeply because of the alcohol.

Yan Huai let out a low “mm,”. “But I didn’t sleep very well.”

He Wei felt his fingertips move slightly, sliding down along her waist, then pressing her just-bent leg back down.

He didn’t use much strength, but in this position, He Wei had no chance to resist at all.

He Wei’s ears burned with heat. Overly nervous, she instead calmed down. She didn’t dare move again, and stiffly asked him, “Why are you in my bed?”

“Are you sure this is your bed?”

He Wei: “……”

Only then did she realize, and opened her eyes to look around.

The blue-and-white color scheme, simple yet deep.

He Wei naturally recognized whose home this was. She frowned and asked quite confidently, “Why am I in your house?”

“You fell asleep last night.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to wake me up?”

“You were sleeping too deeply,” the man’s voice was very low, still carrying the hoarseness of just waking up. “I couldn’t bear to wake you.”

He Wei stopped talking.

She knew that at this moment, the more she moved around, the more excited the man would become there, so she behaved very properly, waiting for it to calm down on its own.

But Yan Huai refused to let her have her way. He buried himself into her neck and gently inhaled, “Sleep a bit more. I’ll have someone bring you clothes.”

He Wei’s neck skin was sensitive. The man’s warm breath fell on it, and she subconsciously shrank forward. “I want to get up……”

This time Yan Huai didn’t stop her anymore, and the hand resting on her leg also loosened its grip.

He Wei immediately pushed his hand away and sat up.

Her stomach felt a bit uncomfortable. If her period cycle wasn’t too irregular, it should be coming soon.

Afraid of dirtying Yan Huai’s bed, He Wei hurriedly threw off the blanket and rushed into the bathroom.

This room should be Yan Huai’s own bedroom. The layout and decoration were different from the guest room she had slept in last time.

The bathroom was much larger than hers. Three of the four walls were covered entirely with mirrors. The floor tiles and the remaining wall were pure white. Standing inside, He Wei could see countless versions of herself.

Only then did she notice the clothes on her body—only a single men’s shirt. Two buttons at the collar were undone, her fair thighs were only half covered, her calves were smooth and bare, and below that she was wearing a pair of black slippers.

They were probably Yan Huai’s as well.

Looking at herself in all directions in the mirrors, He Wei felt even more like crying.

She remembered that last time she came to Yan Huai’s house, there was no one else there… so the clothes on her body could only have been changed by him.

He Wei lifted her arm and sniffed her wrist. The alcohol smell had completely dissipated, leaving only a faint scent of body wash.

It’s over.

He even helped her take a bath.

He Wei’s face turned from red to pale, then from pale back to red again. She irritably pulled out a strand of long hair, and it snapped between her fingers. She stood there in a daze for half a minute, until a dull pain came from her lower abdomen again—only then did she remember the real reason she had gone into the bathroom.

Her period had indeed come.

He Wei had a weak body, and the flow was never heavy, but there were always a couple of days each month when the pain was so bad it felt like she was dying.

She curled her toes slightly, held her lower abdomen, and opened the bathroom door, poking her head out to call the person outside: “Yan Huai……”

Yan Huai was leaning against the headboard, making a phone call. He was only wearing a bathrobe. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to glance over.

He Wei blinked. “…My period came.”

Yan Huai looked at her for half a second, slightly lifted his chin to signal her to go back inside, then turned back to say a few more words into the phone before hanging up.

He Wei stayed in the bathroom and didn’t want to come out.

First, because she wasn’t convenient to move around right now. Second, because she didn’t want to face the awkwardness from last night.

The toilet seat was cold and she couldn’t sit down. He Wei didn’t even dare to lean against the wall. She stood straight, turned on the faucet, and after the water warmed up, she washed her hands.

Just after she finished washing her hands, someone knocked on the door. A man’s voice came through: “He Wei?”

He Wei responded, took a tissue, wiped her hands while walking over to open the door.

She was still bare-legged, so she only opened the door a little, hiding half of herself behind it. She looked up and asked him, “Last night you……”

Yan Huai lowered his eyes to look at her.

He didn’t avoid the situation at all. His gaze traveled from her collar downward, finally landing on her curled-up toes. “Go to the bed.”

He Wei refused very decisively. “I’m not going.”

If it were at her own home, it would be fine—even if the sheets got dirty, she could just wash them.

But this was Yan Huai’s house; it was different.

He Wei frowned slightly. “I’ll just stay in the bathroom.”

Yan Huai also frowned.

The two of them frowned, but their expressions were completely different—one soft and delicate, the other cold and indifferent. Yan Huai knew He Wei’s health was poor. Seeing that she refused to listen, his tone cooled further. “Walk yourself, or I’ll carry you.”

He looked up. “Baby, choose one.”

He Wei: “……”

She didn’t want to choose either, but she also knew that if she didn’t comply, it would definitely jump straight to the second option.

He Wei very sensibly chose the first. She opened the door and went out, climbing onto the bed on her own.

Her period flow wasn’t heavy, but she still didn’t dare move too much on someone else’s bed. She obediently hugged the blanket and sat on the bed, watching helplessly as Yan Huai unashamedly took off his bathrobe right in front of her.

He Wei quickly turned her eyes away.

The sound of the wardrobe door opening rang out.

He Wei pinched the first button of the shirt she was wearing, and couldn’t help but ask, “Was the clothes changed by you for me?”

Yan Huai’s movement of putting on his clothes did not pause at all. “No.”

“Was it also not you who gave me a bath?”

“Mm.”

Although Yan Huai very much wanted to help her bathe and change clothes, he also knew it wasn’t the right time.

He definitely wouldn’t be able to control himself.

But last night, He Wei was drunk and already asleep—the timing wasn’t quite right.

Their first night together should at least be when she was fully conscious, so it would leave a deep impression—preferably one she would remember for a lifetime.

Yan Huai fastened each button of his shirt one by one. When he was tying his tie, he heard He Wei let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The corner of his lips tugged slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Forget it.

Let her be happy for a few more days.

Only when the maid who brought clothes knocked on the door did He Wei realize that there were other servants in this villa.

It was a middle-aged couple with the surname Han. They seemed to be distant relatives from Yan Huai’s mother’s side. After getting older and no longer working, they came over to help out.

After He Wei changed her clothes, Aunt Han had already prepared breakfast.

The couple had been taking care of Yan Huai’s mother and him in the past. With over ten years of emotional bond, and since they had no children of their own, they treated Yan Huai like their own son—meticulous and attentive in every possible way.

Aunt Han was warm and hospitable. At first, He Wei was a little embarrassed, but after chatting with her for a while, she relaxed quite a bit.

By the end of breakfast, Aunt Han clearly already regarded her as the future hostess of the villa. She not only explained the layout of the house to her, but also told her to call her whenever she needed anything.

She was practically one step away from calling He Wei “Young Madam.”

He Wei didn’t dare look across the table the entire meal.

Yan Huai had a lot of work to handle; he made two phone calls within ten minutes and barely ate. Seeing that He Wei had put down her chopsticks, he picked up his suit jacket and stood up. “I’ll take you to the company.”

He Wei was going to sign a contract with Huaying Media.

She also stood up.

A company boss personally sending an unsigned artist from his company… if anyone saw it, who knew what kind of rumors would spread.

Yan Huai seemed to think of that as well. His brows slightly furrowed as he turned to look at He Wei. “Can you go by yourself?”

He Wei couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly.

She nodded. “I’ll just take a taxi.”

The two parted ways at Guan Hai Garden.

He Wei deliberately left ten minutes early. By the time she arrived at Huaying Building, it was just eight o’clock.

Right at the start of work hours.

She didn’t rush inside. Instead, she bought a cup of hot milk at a milk tea shop. As she walked out holding it, she checked her phone again.

There was still time.

The system prompted: “Host, Yan Chen is also at Huaying right now.”

He Wei was slightly surprised. “Sweetie, are you this advanced now? You can even tell me Yan Chen’s schedule in advance?”

The system: “……”

“He is within a radius of one thousand meters, so I can sense him.”

He Wei nodded, quite gratified.

She roughly guessed what Yan Chen had come to do today.

A few days ago, he had just told Yan Huai that he wanted to insert a model into Huaying. Today he might also have come for that person.

He Wei asked the system again, “Did he really get… that last night?”

The system: “Please don’t doubt my abilities, Host!”

“……”

The system continued: “He drank too much last night, so he wasn’t clear-headed and checked into a hotel room with a man……”

Its voice grew smaller and started stuttering: “And then that man was too, too… intense.”

He Wei couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

She didn’t continue teasing the system. After finishing her cup of milk, it was almost time. She straightened her clothes and hair, applied a layer of lipstick, and then entered the Huaying company building.

There was more than one person signing a contract today.

Four women and two men. Aside from He Wei, they were all relatively well-known figures in the industry.

The signing process was formal and complicated. The group followed the contract manager running all over the place, and finally managed to complete all the contracts.

Next, they had to wait for the agents to come and choose the artists they wanted to take on.

He Wei sat for a moment in the bright and spacious office. When she went out to the restroom, she happened to run into Yan Chen just as he came out of the elevator.

His face didn’t look very good, and even his walking posture seemed a bit off.

He Wei pressed her lips together again and again, but in the end couldn’t hold it in and softly hummed a tune.

The next second, Yan Chen, who was walking toward her, heard his beautiful and charming ex-girlfriend gently sing:

“Chrysanthemum petals shattered, the ground full of wounds, your smile has turned yellow.”

“……”
