Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1127: Your Secret Has Been Exposed (1)
On the first day, Gu Nuan woke up naturally, with the sun high in the sky. Even she couldn’t believe she had slept so late.
Sitting up in bed, the housekeeper stood by her side, helping her put on her clothes. The room was warm enough, so she didn’t need to wear much, just needed to keep warm.
Gu Nuan asked, "What time is it?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "It’s almost noon, young mistress."
Gu Nuan was greatly surprised.
The housekeeper comforted her, "The sir said that if there’s nothing urgent at the family company, you don’t need to trouble yourself with it. The doctor also mentioned pregnant women need more rest, so drowsiness is perfectly normal."
The latter part was undoubtedly true. Tang Sili often said that she still wasn’t getting enough sleep. As a pregnant woman, she should eat, drink, and sleep like a pig every day. Appropriate exercise is necessary, but it’s best to avoid bothering with stressful things, especially work.
Thinking too much, having worries, naturally leads to sleeplessness. Previously, at times she’d go to bed but couldn’t sleep for hours, so she’d simply get up to review company documents, feeling more at ease that way.
Last night she slept well, which wasn’t much to do with the medication the doctor prescribed, since Tang Sili often provided such pills with unremarkable effects. Ultimately, whether the mind feels settled and secure is what’s most important.
Noticing the time was already so late, another surprising thing for Gu Nuan was waking up to find that the big white dog wasn’t clinging to her side.
Seeing where Gu Nuan was looking, the housekeeper immediately understood and informed her, "The sir is in young mistress’s office reviewing documents for you since early this morning."
It’s said that during New Year’s, company bosses can’t exactly rest well. During the festive season, some overseas employees, without local customs celebrating Spring Festival, don’t get any holidays. The necessary operations must continue, and daily summary reports keep coming in. Although Chen Jiaming might handle simpler tasks, some urgent matters can’t be hidden from her, and she must be informed via email for her review and approval.
Even like Hu Jialu going back to her hometown, for tasks like signing contracts and issuing compensation funds, it’s no exception that there’s no rest during New Year’s.
As Gu Nuan slipped into her slippers and got out of bed, she couldn’t help but remark: finally, this man who’s about to be a dad is starting to act a bit like one.
Perhaps she reached this conclusion a bit prematurely.
The housekeeper supported her as they first walked to her office for a look.
Standing at the door, peering inside, a man sat behind the mountain of documents piled up on the desk. He wore a white shirt with two buttons undone, looking carefree and unrestrained, his long legs crossed as he sat in the swivel chair. With two fingers of his right hand, he spun a Parker pen around purposefully, appearing to be enjoying himself more than working.
Gu Nuan walked in.
Xiao Yebai, who seemed focused on work, appeared oblivious to her presence—was he overly engrossed? His eyebrows arched confidently, the pen in his hand swooped across the document with the fluidity of an artist gracefully painting.
He had an air of authority, but perhaps it came across as a bit too casual.
The parable pen in the big white dog’s hand suddenly seemed inspired, stagnant moments before, now endlessly swishing away.
Even the housekeeper escorting Gu Nuan was taken aback. Only Gu Nuan remained composed, walking to the desk, reaching out her hand, and lightly touching his ear, deftly removing the Bluetooth earpiece he was wearing.
The music in his ear abruptly halted, and Xiao Yebai suddenly sensed something amiss. He looked up and saw his wife’s face.
