Mu Yeli leaned in, looking at the sleeping Ye Ning, harmless and obedient. She was genuinely a lady who didn’t bear the slightest blemish. Resting in such an awkward position, her face still remained flawless. Her long lashes cast a beautiful arc of shadow onto the shell-like contour below. Her skin, white like cream, didn’t show any pores, and had the fine fuzz of a baby which seemed to give off a glow under the light.

It was always said that she only returned to the city from the countryside at thirteen. In his impression, country girls tended to have rough skin, due to lack of skincare and sun protection, as well as habitual issues leading to dryness. However, none of this could be seen on her.

While Ye Ning was sleeping soundly, she subconsciously raised her head, feeling someone’s approach. All of a sudden, a slap hit his face.

"Ouch..." Mu Yeli cried out, falling back.

Ye Ning woke up instantly, only to feel her palm numb. Looking at Mu Yeli, he was standing in front of her, glaring at her with an outraged expression.

"You...what’s wrong with you? Hey, your face..." Why was his face red?

"Ye Ning! And you have the nerve to ask!"

Ye Ning got the hang of it, "Did I hit you? Sorry...I didn’t know, don’t come close to me when I’m sleeping, but...why did you come over all of a sudden?"

Mu Yeli felt a heat in his ears, he didn’t have the courage to say that he had almost...

He said, "I don’t need your permission. You were sleeping here, I came to wake you up."

Only then did Ye Ning remember.

Stretching lazily, she checked the time and found it was already midnight.

Looking at him, seemingly still buried in his work, she couldn’t help asking, "Aren’t you going to sleep yet?"

Mu Yeli turned to glance at his computer, "I have a video conference with France, should be about an hour, then I can sleep."

Ye Ning silently watched him, realizing that his work was indeed very demanding.

She said, "Ah, do you have any other work to do? If not, I’m going to sleep...wait." She looked at him. "Haven’t you bathed yet? Let me help you get in for a quick wash."

Mu Yeli paused.

He indeed hadn’t washed yet, but with his feet like this, how to take a bath?

Ye Ning had already thought of it.

"I’ll fill the tub for you later, you can soak and wash in there, just keep your feet outside, so they won’t get wet."

Mu Yeli thought it could only be this way.

He again leaned half his body on hers. But seeing how slender she was, he didn’t have the heart to lean fully and put all his weight on her. With one foot on the ground, he slowly entered the bathroom, only to notice Ye Ning’s hand already reaching out to help him undress.

Her fingers expertly undid one of his buttons, causing Mu Yeli’s body to tense up.

"Ye Ning, what are you doing?" he exclaimed.

Ye Ning looked up at him, "Helping you out."

"I can do it myself!" This woman, unbuttoning a man’s clothes so easily, didn’t even show a hint of embarrassment.

Was she even a woman at all?

Ye Ning noticed his fury.

Was he treating her like the flood beast?

"What’s the matter? Hehe, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before."

"Ye! Ning!"

This woman!
