Chapter 668: He’s Destined to Be Hers
"Lightly, gently..."The woman’s voice was soft and weak, as if she had no strength, unable to resist, and could only plead in a low, unclear voice.
There was mist all around, obstructing vision and making everything unclear.
Sheng Yi opened her eyes, wanting to take a look, but her sight was enveloped in darkness. The man’s facial features were mostly obscured by shadows, but she knew who it was. Just as she tried to lift her head to hold his face, there was a loud "thud."
"Ow, ow, it hurts..."
Sheng Yi was in such pain that her entire face scrunched up like a freshly pinched bun, the feeling of pain from her back rapidly amplified in the darkness, it felt like her tailbone was about to shatter.
After quite some time, she struggled to crawl back up, one hand weakly clutching the edge of the bed.
The room was unlit, she was still in a daze, covered in sweat from the earlier dream, sticky with strands of hair stuck to her cheek. She didn’t even know which side of the bed she had rolled off.
Slowly, she climbed up, fumbling to find the light switch.
"This hurts so much," she muttered, grumbling to herself, regretting not turning on a night light before sleeping.
’Click.’
The wall light turned on.
Instinctively, she looked at the bedside table for a clock, but only saw her phone. Startled for a moment, she finally realized she wasn’t home; she was in a hotel in Manhattan.
Indeed, she was confused from sleep, forgetting she was still in M Country.
She reached for her phone and checked the time: 5:40 a.m.
Putting down her phone, she rubbed her tailbone which had reduced in pain quite a bit. Slowly lying down on the bed, she reminisced about the dream she had just experienced, replaying its vivid details in her mind. A few seconds later, Sheng Yi buried her face in the pillow, her ears flushed an unusual red.
How could she have such a dream?
Could it be because she was too... Stop, she couldn’t keep thinking about it.
Now that her mind was clear and free from sleepiness, closing her eyes only filled her head with imagined colors from the dream. After analyzing herself, Sheng Yi concluded she was possibly feeling stressed lately.
As for how to relieve the stress...
...
The entertainment facilities in the top-notch hotel were quite comprehensive.
Counting the days waiting for Dao An to return from Los Angeles, just three days felt torturous, disturbed by the awkward dream of that morning. She decided to visit the hotel’s gym for some relaxation.
At the gym, her elegant appearance caught the attention of many, resulting in quite a few attractive men approaching to chat with Sheng Yi. As an inherently socially anxious person, Sheng Yi discreetly declined their advances, and didn’t stay long before rushing out.
The gym visit was a waste of time.
Leaving the gym, she belatedly realized the risk involved with her decision to go to the gym.
They all seemed to be foreigners.
Surely no one would recognize her, right?
She was only there for a short while, it should be fine, Sheng Yi reassured herself internally.
During the days waiting for Dao An to return to Manhattan, Sheng Yi was no longer bothered by Qin Bing.
But the more peaceful things seemed, the more it made Sheng Yi uneasy, fearing that a storm was about to come...
Little did Sheng Yi know, during these days she anxiously awaited, Dao An had already returned from Los Angeles to Manhattan ahead of time!
The globally renowned Empire State Building on Wall Street.
79th floor.
"Ann, this is the summary of the meeting from yesterday, I’ve compiled it completely," Cheng Xuan handed over the organized meeting summary report.
Dao An reached out to take it, but didn’t open it to read, instead placing it on the desk.
He lifted his wrist to glance at his watch, it was already 4:50 p.m.
Cheng Xuan observed Ann’s expression and noticed his watch-checking action, speculating that Ann would likely leave early today as well.
Even before returning from Los Angeles, Cheng Xuan had sensed something amiss; after returning, the odd feeling grew stronger. The workaholic Ann was concluding his tasks ahead of schedule and even leaving early for consecutive days.
Moreover, Cheng Xuan noticed that due to Ann’s previously hectic work schedule, he had minimal rest time, so he always appeared energetic yet faintly exhausted. But recently, perhaps due to finishing work early and resting well, or possibly due to regular gym visits, Ann looked not only revitalized but also more charming.
What could be the reason?
Could Ann be preparing to meet someone?!
While Cheng Xuan was about to inquire about the upcoming tasks, the man tucked his phone into his pocket, fastening the double-breasted buttons at the front: "I’m leaving at five sharp, keep an eye on the remaining tasks, and have the documents on my desk by 8 a.m. tomorrow."
