The sky was bright.
Shen Yugui woke up with a start and sat up. Her eyes were still blurry, but she quickly grabbed her phone and checked the time. It was seven in the morning.
She placed her palm on her head regretfully. She had been thinking about how to please Mr. Fei last night. How did she fall asleep?
Judging by the appearance of the bed. It seemed like Fei Nancheng was absent.
There were only two days to meet him in a month, but she did not manage to make use of yesterday. Did that mean that she had to wait for another half a month now?
Shen Yugui quickly jumped out of bed, hoping that Fei Nancheng had not left for work yet.
She opened the door and rushed out just in time to see Fei Nancheng having breakfast in the dining hall.
The area around his eyes was somewhat dark as if he had not slept all night. Even if he sat there expressionlessly, his body still gave off waves of anger and self-control.
Shen Yugui slowly went downstairs. She walked up to the dining table and greeted him softly. "Mr. Fei, did you sleep well last night?"
With these words, the man's expression grew colder.
Shen Yugui did not seem to notice and was about to continue when the butler came up with a smile. "Miss Shen, the Old Madam just called and said that when you wake up, she would like for Mr. Fei and you to visit her together. The car has been prepared."
-
The Fei family car was on its way to the nursing home.
Shen Yugui sat in the backseat and glanced at Fei Nancheng, who was sitting towards the other end of the car with an armrest between them
He was holding a laptop and dealing with company affairs. His profile looked well-defined and he looked at the screen with rapt attention. His serious appearance was particularly attractive.
Shen Yugui stared and started to space out.
'Shouldn't I find something to talk to him about? I can't just sit quietly like this the entire trip.'
While she was thinking, the man's eyebrows suddenly furrowed for some reason. Shen Yugui was frightened back to her senses and immediately looked away.
She bowed her head and did not dare to move.
Out of the corner of his eye, Fei Nancheng caught a glimpse of her and smirked coldly.
She must not have fallen asleep on purpose last night. Otherwise, she would not have rushed out in such a panic state this morning and even sighed in relief upon seeing him. Earlier, she even stared at him with an awkward look. It seemed like she was looking for an opportunity to mention the contract.
He closed the computer and waited for her to speak.
The car was quiet for a while. Shen Yugui seemed to think of something and took out her cellphone. She opened up an app and looked at the lottery ticket she bought yesterday.
Five years ago, she formed a small habit. She bought a lottery ticket every day, not to see if she would hit the jackpot, but to see if her luck would change one day.
Of course, in these five years, she had not even won a consolation prize.
Shen Yugui never held out any hope of winning. She only opened the jackpot information out of habit and glanced at it casually.
She was about to turn off her phone when she suddenly froze.
She swiftly snapped her head down and looked again.
The words that she was familiar with, 'Thank You For Your Patronage', was now clearly replaced with news that she won two thousand Yuan!!
She won?! Her luck had finally changed!
Shen Yugui excitedly grabbed the hand of the person next to her, wanting to share the good news!!
"I…"
Shen Yugui turned and was faced with an absurdly handsome face, and her words immediately stuck in her throat. Her brain stopped its motions and froze. All the joy she had at winning a prize evaporated!
In her excitement, she forgot where she was!
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Her eyes slowly lowered and fell on the hand that she was holding.
Shen Yugui's expression turned to stone in an instant.
