Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 238 - 231: I Understand You Now

In the morning, Bai Yiran was gently awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. She sat up gently, stretching contentedly and was suddenly surprised to find that she had actually slept from midnight until now, without any nightmares or being suddenly awakened.

A good night’s sleep until dawn!

For the first time, she didn’t need to exhaust her body with mad night runs and could still have a good rest.

This feeling was truly magical, so magical that it made Bai Yiran feel invigorated, with undeniable excitement in her heart.

Because of a good night’s sleep, Bai Yiran’s appetite became particularly strong today. Leng Yichen stopped eating, staring intently at Bai Yiran.

"Girl, didn’t you eat enough last night?"

"No!" Bai Yiran answered with a smile, perhaps not even realizing how radiant her smile was.

Leng Yichen was captivated by such a smile. The Bai Yiran in front of him seemed to have returned to normal, smiling at him, a bright smile.

"Slow down your eating, or people might think we’re mistreating you!" Qiao Jie interjected suddenly.

Bai Yiran was taken aback. Was she eating quickly?

Testing the waters, Leng Yichen reached out, cautiously approaching Bai Yiran, wanting to wipe the bread crumbs from her lips.

Bai Yiran watched Leng Yichen’s hand approach her, instinctively tightening her grip on the knife and fork, but she didn’t evade. When those warm fingers brushed the corner of her lips, her face involuntarily trembled a bit.

Seeing Bai Yiran not avoiding him, Leng Yichen showed a satisfied smile.

It turns out happiness can be so simple!

Bai Yiran’s body seemed frozen, her eyes looking at Leng Yichen with childlike innocence.

"I say, that’s enough!" Qiao Jie could no longer stand by, "Don’t push your luck!"

Bai Yiran’s symptoms showed improvement, and Qiao Jie’s eyes were filled with both relief and excitement.

Leng Yichen’s current mood was akin to the excitement of going on a first date, even more intense. Yet he understood what it meant to know when to stop; Qiao Jie wouldn’t speak for no reason. He could tell Bai Yiran was still nervous, visible from her hands that were always gripping the knife and fork tightly.

Slowly retracting his hand, he said to Bai Yiran, "Eat slowly."

"Mm." Bai Yiran lowered her head, no longer looking at Leng Yichen.

"Later, just pack some simple luggage," Qiao Jie put down his utensils, smiling broadly, "I signed us up for a two-day, one-night tour to Wuzhen!"

Bai Chuan opened his eyes, the room’s furnishings were unfamiliar to him. He glanced disdainfully at the woman beside him. He got up and walked straight into the bathroom, and when he came out, the woman was already awake.

"Awake?" Bai Chuan spoke with a charming voice.

"Mm." The woman looked at him longingly, "Leaving already?"

"What? You can’t bear to part with me?" Bai Chuan brushed the woman’s nose with one hand.

The woman nodded, "Can’t you stay? Just accompany me for one more day!"

A fleeting cold glint flashed across Bai Chuan’s eyes, yet his words carried a sweet undertone, "What if your husband finds out?"

"Hmph!" The woman snorted, "Can’t I handle such a small matter? Does Ma Li have to fear being discovered?"

Bai Chuan was momentarily stunned, his gaze becoming complex, a sarcastic smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Such a familiar phrase.

Such words used to be frequently on his lips as well.

He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had last spoken such arrogant words.

So, this is how it feels to hear someone else say those words to you...

Bai Yiran, I somewhat understand you now...
