Hello, Heir

Chapter 220: You’ll Sleep on the Bed, I’ll Sleep on the Sofa

Si Jingyu clenched her fist tightly and shook her head slightly, all while trying to put those sad memories behind her. Only then did she notice that the dark shadow on the bed had already shifted to the side. He switched off the lights but didn’t lie down and sleep. Instead, he stood in the same place and deliberated for a while.

Si Jingyu silently opened her eyes without moving and gazed toward that silhouette desirously.

She loved him, almost to the point where she became a fool.

Even if she wanted a divorce, she couldn’t get rid of even the slightest bit of attachment that she had toward him.

However, she had to act indifferent, she had to ignore him. All this while, even the heavens know how difficult it had been for her to endure these things.

In the past half a year, this was their first time spending time together. It was also the first time she could size him up unbridledly, just like many years ago, when she could only stand behind him and gaze at him alone.

As she was looking at him, he walked straight toward Si Jingyu’s direction all of a sudden.

Si Jingyu closed her eyes. Upon hearing light footsteps approaching her one by one, she was so nervous that even her breathing had softened. As those footsteps approached her, the man lowered his head and carried her up along with the blanket.

Si Jingyu was startled. When she had regained her senses, she found herself being placed on the soft and comfortable big bed. She clenched her fist tightly as her body stiffened slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man’s slightly husky voice in her ear, “Jingyu, don’t worry, I won’t force you. You’ll sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

In the dark, he uttered those soft and gentle words helplessly as he tried to coddle her.

Si Jingyu’s heart slightly ached, as if it was being pierced by needles.

That’s right, even if they were to divorce, he could still be so gentle to her.

However, this gentleness didn’t belong to just her.

Si Jingyu took a deep breath.

Shi Jinyan had started his career from scratch.

When they had just met, Shi Jinyan was merely a destitute student from a village and got admitted to Peking University. He completely relied on his own hard work and talent to get to where he was today.

He had very little time to rest. He came here today, but he probably had to leave at 7 am tomorrow.

As such, if such a tall person like him had to curl up on the sofa for one whole night, he would be... very exhausted tomorrow, right?

At the thought of this, Si Jingyu couldn’t help but want to behave badly.

She bit her lips and eventually spoke, “Shi Jinyan...”

Shi Jinyan stood up. Just as he was about to walk toward the sofa, he slightly paused, turned around, and heard Si Jingyu continuing, “You can sleep on the bed too.”

In any case, this big bed was three by three meters. Two people could sleep each on one side without getting in the way of the other party.

As soon as she had finished speaking, Si Jingyu hugged her blanket and leaned toward the side of the bed.

Afterward, she heard familiar footsteps in the room. He then lay down on the other side of the bed.

However, Si Jingyu still couldn’t fall asleep.

Upon hearing his uniform breathing sound from behind, Si Jingyu suddenly turned her body around.

The room was very dark, hence, his facial features couldn’t be seen clearly at all.

Yet, Si Jingyu stared at him with all her might.

At this moment, he was right beside her, sharing the same bed as her. However, after signing the divorce agreement, this man would be in another woman’s embrace.

Si Jingyu felt sad again at the thought of this. She felt a tingling in her eyes, as she couldn’t control her tears that were about to trickle down. She gritted her teeth tightly, trying not to cry out loud.

Si Jingyu shed tears in silence.
