My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 409 - 014: President Yun is holding

Perhaps the aroma of the wine was too strong, and his lips too cool; when the kiss descended, it caused the sleeping Ye Lingran to stir slightly. Startled, Yun Qi quickly lifted his head, watching her intently. However, the Ye Lingran beneath him did not open her eyes, merely letting out a soft hum as if slightly displeased by this ’disturbance’, then turned over to continue sleeping.

Watching her sleeping form, Yun Qi couldn’t help but smile. He wasn’t worried about waking her and being discovered, just a bit reluctant to disturb her slumber.

He gently stroked her cheek once more, reminiscing about the lingering warmth on his lips. There was a sense of longing, yet he made no further moves. Instead, he got up, walked around the foot of the bed, turned off the main light in the room, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the other side, watching her pretty face at such close proximity. Suddenly, he felt that sleeping like this wasn’t so bad.

The next morning, just after eight, Ye Lingran woke up groggily. Her eyelashes fluttered lightly before her eyes slowly opened. The first sight she saw was the golden, glassy crystal chandelier. Ye Lingran paused for a moment, suddenly recalling that she had come to He Xuhang’s house with Yun Qi yesterday, but this didn’t seem like her hotel room. She instinctively scanned her surroundings and when her eyes drifted to the left, a handsome face unexpectedly entered her vision, causing her breath to hitch, her pupils to dilate, and her heart to seemingly stop for a moment. An obvious trace of panic flashed across her face.

However, she didn’t rush to get up, because she found that he was still in a deep sleep. After slowly gathering her thoughts, Ye Lingran finally calmed down, though a sense of curiosity lingered: why was he sleeping in the same bed as her?

There was no doubt they were still at He Xuhang’s house, that much was certain. But, how did she end up in this room, and why was he sleeping beside her? She had no memory of it at all!

After an indeterminate period of time, sensing Yun Qi turning over, Ye Lingran inexplicably felt a bit guilty and averted her gaze, not looking at him. When everything became quiet again beside her, she turned her head back to look at him. After a while, she slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch his cheek. As she drew near, she could smell the wine on him, suggesting that he drank quite a bit yesterday. She couldn’t tell if he had gotten drunk.

When Ye Lingran’s hand was mere centimeters away from his handsome face, Yun Qi suddenly moved again. Like someone caught doing something guilty, she swiftly withdrew her hand, biting her lip in slight frustration. After waiting for him to settle back into stillness, Ye Lingran sighed in relief, stopped watching him, and got up, lifting the quilt. She then looked back once more at the still-sleeping Yun Qi, put on her coat, picked up her phone, and headed downstairs.

The servants downstairs, upon seeing her awake, quickly nodded in greeting, "Miss Ye, good morning, you’ve woken up."

"Yes, um... I wanted to ask if there are any toiletries available?"

"Yes, in the bathroom on the second floor, all prepared for you and President Yun."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Lingran prepared to go back upstairs, suddenly remembering to ask, "By the way... is Young Master He awake?"

"Young Master He hasn’t woken up yet, he drank quite a bit with President Yun last night, so he probably won’t wake up soon."

"Did they... drink a lot yesterday? Until what time? I fell asleep last night and don’t know what happened after."

"Young Master He and President Yun drank until past midnight. President Yun was fine and didn’t get drunk, but Young Master He couldn’t match President Yun’s drinking capacity and was the first to pass out. President Yun instructed us to carry Young Master He back to his room." Naturally, he respectfully answered Ye Lingran’s questions one by one.

"Then... wasn’t I sleeping on the sofa in the living room last night? How... how did I get to the room?" Ye Lingran felt a bit embarrassed when asking this question, her words coming out hesitantly.

"Of course, President Yun carried you upstairs himself."

Ye Lingran pursed her lips, breaking into a smile, "Okay, thank you." With that said, she went back upstairs. After taking a few steps, she stopped and turned back to ask, "By the way... may I be so bold as to ask if it would be possible to prepare some hangover soup for their breakfast later?"

"Uh... sure, I’ll go ask the chef if he knows how."

"In that case, never mind. Could you help me prepare the ingredients and I’ll come down to make it myself later? Is that okay?"

"Miss Ye wants to cook herself?"

"Is it inconvenient?"

"No... just a bit surprised. But what ingredients do you need? I’ll prepare them for you."

After telling him the ingredients she needed, Ye Lingran proceeded to head back upstairs.
