Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 237 - 230: Qiao Jie
In the early morning, Bai Yiran stood under the porch, stretching with fatigue. Her sleep wasn’t great, fragmented with intermittent dreams and sudden awakenings. By the end, Bai Yiran couldn’t distinguish if she was asleep or awake, whether she was in a dream or reality.
However, last night’s dream didn’t contain any terrifying scenes, though it was chaotic, leaving her exhausted.
Turning her head slightly, she saw through the large glass window that Leng Yichen was still working at his desk. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, occasionally blinking to alleviate the fatigue.
This man, did he not sleep all night?
In the eyes of the world, Leng Yichen manages a broadly established group. With just a few clicks, money flows endlessly. His employees earn money for him while he only needs to socialize and make decisions, leaving plenty of time for indulgence and pleasure.
But in reality, this man stays up all night for a project, goes to great lengths for a contract, and burns the midnight oil for work. He’s in a constant state of mental tension, foreseeing any factors that might affect the Huamei International stock price fluctuations, and strategizing in business warfare.
Running such a company, Leng Yichen’s dedication far exceeds what people perceive.
Bai Yiran walked to the kitchen and brewed a cup of tea.
Leng Yichen’s slender fingers tapped the last key on the keyboard, then he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes, which were somewhat sore and swollen.
Suddenly, he caught a whiff of tea aroma at his nose.
He lowered his hands and saw Bai Yiran standing beside the desk with a teacup.
"Why are you up so early?" Leng Yichen’s voice was somewhat hoarse, tinged with fatigue.
Bai Yiran placed the tea on the table, standing across from Leng Yichen, "Drink the tea, breakfast will be ready soon. After eating, you should rest for a while."
As he listened to Bai Yiran’s words, Leng Yichen suddenly felt a sense of time slipping away, as Bai Yiran used to say the same after his late nights.
"Yiran..." Leng Yichen stood up, moving emotionally to touch Bai Yiran’s face, but she took a step back to avoid it. Leng Yichen’s hand hesitated in the air before slowly lowering it.
Bai Yiran’s gaze flickered, looking at the ground before raising her head to look at Leng Yichen, "I will nicely cooperate with Qiao Jie’s therapy..."
After saying that, she left Leng Yichen’s sight as if escaping.
Leng Yichen watched Bai Yiran’s retreating figure, surprised, excited. Clearly reluctant before, why was she suddenly cooperative today?
In the days that followed, Bai Yiran truly cooperated with Qiao Jie, earnestly and attentively participating in both physical treatment and psychological counseling.
Leng Yichen and Qiao Jie could both see that Bai Yiran genuinely wanted to heal herself, rather than just going through the motions.
Although Leng Yichen found Bai Yiran’s sudden change puzzling, he was more than happy about it.
Only Qiao Jie knew that Bai Yiran’s change was entirely due to the conversation they had that night.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell Leng Yichen this, as he wanted to live a few more years.
However, maybe even Bai Yiran didn’t know that the conversation that night was actually orchestrated by Qiao Jie. During the day, he deliberately pretended to accidentally reveal, in Bai Yiran’s presence, that Leng Yichen had once received treatment from him. Successfully arousing Bai Yiran’s concern and curiosity, he then pretended to casually encounter Bai Yiran in the pavilion at night. Every word and detail of that day was meticulously planned in his heart.
If Bai Yiran still loved Leng Yichen in her heart, upon hearing those words, waves would certainly stir within her.
And what Qiao Jie wanted was precisely these waves!
He’s confident that before long, these two will once again indulge in their happy, shameless life together.
