Of course, Gong Yan wouldn't listen to her. He quickly returned to the master bedroom, carrying her lighter and lighter body.

Then he placed her carefully on the bed and bent down to untie the laces of her shoes around her ankles.

Pei Luoyi wasn't used to having people do these kinds of things for her. Her slender and well-proportioned legs shrunk as she stretched out a hand to stop them. "Don't, I'll do it myself …"

"Don't move."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man grabbed her ankle with his callused knuckles, bringing with it a force that she could not struggle free from.

Pei Luoyi bit her lips as she looked at the man's handsome face and focused on what she was doing. Her broad palm was pressed against her skin, transmitting a warmth that did not belong to her.

He took off her shoes and pulled a thin blanket over her. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned over to look at her.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" His soft voice was very soft, and his dark eyes seemed to contain boundless tenderness.

He reached out his hand and gently brushed away the hair on the side of her face. Just a small action like that was enough to make one's heart tremble.

If Pei Luoyi had to say that she was not moved at all, that would be a lie.

Not to mention in such an ambiguous and warm atmosphere.

She gently shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I was just a bit dizzy a moment ago. I just needed to rest for a bit."

The tip of his nose floated the faint, familiar scent of a man lying on the bed. It was a unique yet inexplicably comforting smell.

"En!" The man indifferently nodded before tidying up her blanket. His deep gaze seemed to be filled with strength as it pressed down on her. "You rest first. I'll go down and ask about the situation."

He stood up and turned to leave.

"Gong Yan."

The man turned around, looked down at her slender fingers, which were pinching the hem of her shirt, then sat down on the edge of the bed again. "What's wrong?"

Pei Luoyi loosened the corner of his shirt and returned his hands to the blanket. With a blushing face, she stammered, "If you're very busy at work, you don't have to accompany me today. I just need to rest. If you want to go back, you can ask my friend to send me off."

She was afraid that he would still be here when she woke up.

It was not a very serious matter to begin with. She did not want him to wait for her for no reason, even though it seemed like she was exaggerating.

Last time Shen Xiao said he would be very busy this time... She supposed it was also an excuse to move her to dinner with him.

As the CEO of the Gong Family Group, being busy was the normal thing for him to do.

He had probably wasted a lot of time and effort on her.

A thin layer of tenderness covered his face, accentuating the charm of his handsome features. "I will get someone to bring the documents I need to deal with here, and I will accompany you today. You just need to rest properly, and don't worry about anything else, hmm?"

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She then withdrew her gaze.

She could not control his decision, but it was clear that she did not agree with it.

Naturally, the man could easily sense her little mood and very naturally ignored her. He touched the soft top of her head with his thick palm and left the room.

After tossing and turning the night before, he had not been able to sleep well at all. He had only slept for an hour or so before dawn.

As soon as the man left, a wave of drowsiness mixed with a slight dizziness swept over him.

Pei Luoyi did not insist and closed her eyes. Although her mind was still preoccupied with some matters, she still quickly fell asleep …
