Chapter 10: Does That Make You Happy?
“Behave yourself, or I’ll just—” screw you!
The vulgar words rushed all the way up to his throat, but in the end, all he did was pretend to be businesslike and order, “Push back the afternoon schedule. Wake me in two hours!”
Yu Qiao: …!!
Wasn’t he supposed to be drugged with that aphrodisiac? It hadn’t even worn off yet! And he wanted to keep working after two hours?
This workaholic was really something else…
But he was the boss. What he said went.
Yu Qiao obediently tried to get up and work, but she was held so tight she couldn’t move. She even tried to slip out of his arms without waking him.
In the end, she failed.
He was already snoring softly, yet his hand stayed clamped around her waist like a pair of iron pincers. One move from her, and he hugged her tighter. Another move…
And she’d bump into his dangerous… weapon!
So she could only lie there obediently, eyes wide open, stuck in his furnace of an embrace for two whole hours.
Still, it wasn’t a total loss.
At least Yu Qiao had confirmed one thing: that supposedly potent aphrodisiac was probably fake.
Because when Sheng Yuan was awake, he was vigorous as a dragon. But once he fell into a deep sleep…
The weapon wasn’t dangerous anymore!
Thank goodness. It really seemed she wouldn’t need to take him to the hospital after all.
At some point, Sheng Yuan’s phone buzzed twice.
She had no idea who was calling. She wanted to crane her neck for a look, but the phone was on the nightstand on his side—just out of reach.
In the end, she let it ring.
Fortunately, he was sleeping so deeply that nothing seemed to wake him.
Actually, this wasn’t normal!!!
She and he had known each other since childhood. If she remembered right, his brother had mentioned that Sheng Yuan had suffered from mild sleep problems since his teens. Later, when he went abroad, there was no one careful around to look after him.
After that, the symptoms only got worse.
He often needed double doses of sleeping pills just to fall asleep…
And even then, he wouldn’t sleep long!
He’d had a fair amount to drink today, sure, but not enough to knock him out this deeply, right?
Could it still be a side effect of that aphrodisiac?
The thought made Yu Qiao worry again…
She slowly turned over in his arms, bit by bit, until she was finally face to face with him. Only after she saw his complexion did she relax.
As the daughter of a big expert, Yu Qiao couldn’t diagnose illnesses, but as a child she’d often been dragged along to the hospital by her mother to play.
She’d heard plenty and seen plenty. Common little ailments like headaches and fevers—she could judge those.
At least Sheng Yuan’s color was much better now than when she’d first picked him up…
Back then his face had been pale, then later burning red.
Now it was pale with a hint of pink—except…
“Why are his ears red too?”
Curious, she couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the tip of his pink ear.
Fun!
It was hot, and it twitched when touched—just like a cat’s ear in a cat café…
“Hehe!”
She was charmed.
Finding her boss cute was an extremely bizarre thing, but Sheng Yuan was different from other bosses!
And he was just so, so good-looking.
At this distance, she could see every long eyelash beneath his eyes.
Thick, black, curled.
Every so often they’d tremble, like a beautiful butterfly fluttering its wings…
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
Her heartbeat quickened again. An indescribable feeling welled up—not just happiness, but something full and swelling…
A rare opportunity!
So she sneaked a peek at him, furtive and quiet, for a long, long time.
