The following morning, Yu Huiyin woke up to find herself alone in the bed. She could not help but wonder where Xie Jingyu was, and for some weird reason, a sense of loss was evident in her heart.
The uncomfortable feeling was hard to describe, and she quickly ignored it, unwilling to dwell on it. She did not even bother to consider why she had such emotions when she woke up alone in the bed.
Tying her hair up into a bun, she went to the bathroom, where she washed up and changed her clothes.
After this, she began walking down the hallways until she finally reached the dining room, where Xie Jingyu was seated in front of the table. One leg was crossed over the other, he held a newspaper in his hands, and a cup of tea was on the table alongside a scrumptious breakfast meal.
A smile bloomed on Yu Huiyuin's lips as she saw him, and it was as if her heart finally settled down, but then her smile turned to a frown, and her heart ached.
Xie Jingyu had black circles under his eyes; they were filled with exhaustion.
When she had gone to sleep the previous night, he had not been in the bed, and now, when she woke up, she had not seen him either. Had he even gotten any sleep last night at all?
Unaware that the culprit causing him to lose sleep was herself, Yu Huiyin felt distressed.
This distress was seen by Xie Jingyu when he raised his head and noticed that she had entered the dining room, and he was slightly puzzled. Why was she distressed? Had someone bullied her?
At this thought, his mood turned foul. Who dared bully his dearest wife? They must have a death wish!
"Did you not sleep last night?" Yu Huiyin asked, unaware that her voice contained an immense amount of worry and unhappiness.
"I did not get any sleep last night," he said with a nod of his head. How could he possibly sleep with her rubbing herself all over his body?
No ordinary man would be able to sleep well with their beloved acting like this?
Hearing this, Yu Huiyin was distressed. "Is work really so hard that you can't get any sleep? Did you at least drink the honeyed water I prepared for you? Are you feeling okay now? Do you have to go to the office now, or will you be able to go to bed and get a few hours nap?"
Yu Huiyin bombarded Xie Jingyu with questions, but instead of feeling frustrated, he felt relieved. So the thing that troubled Yu Huiyin was not someone bullying her, but instead her having heartache about him not sleeping.
When this thought surfaced in his mind, it was as if his damaged brain was suddenly renewed with life. His Yu Huiyin was finally starting to care about him. She was actually distressed for him!
"Don't worry," the expression on Xie Jingyu's face was full of tenderness and affection. "I can work without sleep. It was just one night, don't worry about me. Your honeyed water was refreshing and helped me feel much better."
Yu Huiyin was still distressed. She did not understand it, she often worked without sleep for a night, but when she saw the dark circles under Xie Jingyu's eyes, she was not able to think rationally.
But the more she acted this way, the more elated and happy Xie Jingyu became. Who could imagine that she was already so caring about him?
Yu Huiyin was unaware of how she was acting. It was not natural for her to be so concerned about another person, but at the same time, she could not help herself.
Although Xie Jingyu had tricked her into marriage, she had long since let go of her hostility towards him. He had been treating her wholeheartedly, and she was so grateful for what he did for her.
He had given her a chance to get out of the despair that was drowning her, allowing her to take her own revenge and offered her a fresh start in life.
Not only this, he had treated her immensely well. He gave her everything she could ever need, and he was so gallant and kind towards her.
"What are your plans for today?" Xie Jingyu asked with a smile as he looked at Yu Huiyin, but his smile vanished as he heard her answer.
"I have a meeting with Nanfeng." She could not help but smile and answer happily.
"Who is this Nanfeng?" Xie Jingyu suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis. How could it be that Yu Huiyin was calling another man so intimately? This was not acceptable, she was still calling him Xie Jingyu, but he was calling another man Nanfeng.
"Nanfeng is a good friend from the racetrack," Yu Huiyin said with a smile. "He is the one I went to visit yesterday. I am going to start a business with him; we will be working together in the future."
"You seem very familiar with him?" Xie Jingyu could feel a strange urge in his chest to kill this man known as Nanfeng, but he knew it was impossible.
He could not kill every man who got close to Yu Huiyin. He understood that this was not acceptable, but the urge within his heart was hard to control.
"We have been friends for a lot of years," Yu Huiyin did not sense Xie Jingyu's complex emotions, and instead answered honestly.
The more she spoke, the more annoyed and frustrated Xie Jingyu became.
"You have to remember that you are married," he said finally, "you cannot be too close to other men."
Hearing this, Yu Huiyin grinned and shook her head. "Don't worry; I won't be unfaithful while being married to you."
