Chapter 1381: Awakening
Yan Yan said softly, "It’s okay, I just got caught in the rain a little."
Fan Xinglan quickly replied, "That’s good, let Little Sister-in-law rest well."
Jiang Lihua looked at Yun Qiluo’s appearance, still worried, and said, "I’m not going back to the lab today, I’ll be in the living room. You can find me if anything happens."
Yan Yan nodded at her lightly, then turned around and carried Yun Qiluo towards the elevator.
Seeing the young girl sleeping soundly in his arms, no one dared to stop them, quickly making way so Yan Yan could carry her upstairs.
Seeing with her own eyes that Yun Qiluo had returned safely, Wang Ma finally felt a huge stone in her heart fall to the ground.
After Yan Yan carried her up, she dared to speak a little louder: "Great, Miss really is blessed with good fortune!"
Housekeeper Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But Miss has still lost some weight, it’s so pitiful. We couldn’t even wake her with our talking, she surely must be very tired during this time."
Wang Ma then said, "I’ll have the nutritionist prepare more menus, and then we can use them to nurture her health."
Yan Yan carried Yun Qiluo into the room, seeing her sleeping so deeply, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, then intended to get up to handle some matters next door.
Who would’ve thought the young girl would hug his neck and refuse to let go.
He couldn’t help but look at her, "Little Gua?"
The young girl remained asleep without responding, only her little eyebrows furrowed, seemingly dissatisfied with his intention to leave.
Yan Yan felt a bit helpless, tugging at her small hand, trying to pull it away from his neck.
However, Yun Qiluo held on tightly as if clutching some treasure, pressing her face into his neck, unwilling to release her grip.
Her voice was soft and tender as she murmured, "Beautiful woman, don’t go..."
The man’s heart immediately softened, losing any thought of leaving, so he simply lay down with her, holding her carefully in his arms.
He reached out to gently stroke her soft hair.
While softly coaxing her, "Sleep, I won’t leave."
The young girl in deep slumber seemed to hear his words, her furrowed brows relaxing, as she nuzzled into his embrace, sleeping even more soundly.
Yan Yan lowered his head to kiss her forehead, took out his phone, and sent Secretary Qin a message to postpone the meeting.
Then, holding the young girl in his arms, he quietly watched her sleep.
.
Yun Qiluo slept for a long time.
Her physical exhaustion combined with getting caught in the rain on the plane had already left her unable to hold on, so this sleep was exceptionally long.
She slept so deeply that when she finally awoke, it felt as if a century had passed.
Lying in bed, staring at the familiar ceiling of Yan Yan’s bedroom, and the clock on the wall pointing to two in the morning, her mind hadn’t yet processed everything, somewhat blurring the line between reality and dreams.
Was she back? Or was she dreaming?
Yun Qiluo propped herself up from the bed, and noticing Yan Yan’s absence, she immediately felt insecure.
She quickly threw off the quilt, got up, and ran out without even putting on slippers.
The study next door.
Yan Yan’s work was already wrapping up, his thoughts on Yun Qiluo sleeping in the room, recalling how she clung to him earlier, seemingly lacking a sense of security. He was planning to finish early and go back to her when he heard the sound of the doorknob turning.
He paused, sensing something, turning his head slightly to look.
The young girl stood at the door, wearing that same white cotton nightgown from the afternoon, barefoot.
Her shoulder-length black hair cascaded down both sides, making her little face appear even paler. She seemed a bit confused, not only was her hair disheveled, but even her eyes held a touch of bewilderment.
