Zhai Yunsheng decided against waking Jian Yiling up. Instead, he quietly watched Jian Yiling sleep on his arm.

When Jian Yiling opened her eyes, she discovered that Zhai Yunsheng was looking at her.

She was embarrassed as she stuttered: “You’re… You’re awake…. Why didn’t you wake me up…?”

“I wasn’t willing to.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling pulled the blanket over her head.

Somehow, this was quite embarrassing.

Zhai Yunsheng pulled the blanket off Jian Yiling’s head before he laughed lowly: “You climbed onto my bed by yourself today.”

“I didn’t,” Jian Yiling protested.

She clearly only entered his room…

He was the one who pulled her onto the bed.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head to give a kiss onto Jian Yiling’s cheeks.

“Get up lazybones.”

After saying this, Zhai Yunsheng went into the bathroom.

When the sound of water came out from the bathroom, Jian Yiling slowly got up from the bed.

He was clearly the one who slept in first… Then, he made her sleep for another hour…

So why was she being called lazybones?

She was getting wrongly accused!

By the time Zhai Yunsheng walked out of the bathroom, Jian Yiling was no longer in his bedroom.

Zhai Yunsheng’s gaze fell on an electronic watch that was left on his bed.

This watch belonged to Jian Yiling. He saw her wearing it before.

Typically, she wore it when she was going out. However, she took it off when she was at home.

It seemed as though she forgot her watch on his bed.

Zhai Yunsheng walked over to pick up the watch. He saw a line of words appear on the surface of the watch.

It was an IP address.

Furthermore, it was an IP address that Zhai Yunsheng wasn’t unfamiliar with.

In the past few days, Wen Ruo came to Jian Yuncheng’s office quite frequently.

Even Huo Yu sensed that something was wrong.

“Yuncheng, what’s going on with your cousin? How come she’s been visiting you a lot lately?”

“I don’t know,” Jian Yuncheng replied. He wasn’t interested in talking to Wen Ruo.

After all, Wen Ruo’s suspicion had not yet been cleared. She could still potentially be the person who revealed Jian Yiling’s identity to the public.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to trust Wen Ruo.

“Oh right, where did those two cups on your desk come from? They don’t seem like something that you would buy.”

“You can take them,” Jian Yuncheng said. He just didn’t have time to remove them from his desk. He didn’t really care a lot about those two cups.

“Huh? When would you be so kind as to do that?” Huo Yu said as he picked up the cups. Then, after looking at them for a while, he placed the cups back down on Jian Yuncheng’s desk: “Ahh, forget it. I rather not take things from an unknown origin. It might be a gift given by a girl when she confessed her love to you. If I take such gifts, I will be condemned by the Gods.”

“Do you have something else to say?” Jian Yuncheng asked. He did not look up at Huo Yu. Instead, his eyes were focused on the contract in his hands.

“Ah okay, I will talk about business matters now. Have you heard of Feng Wei?”

“Yeah, I’ve heard of him before. What’s the problem?”

Most established individuals in the Beijing circle knew of Feng Wei.

Naturally, Jian Yuncheng was not an exception from this.

“That person is incredibly powerful. In fact, he has enough experience on his resume to fill in three or four pages! Even the Qin family and the Zhai family have to show some degree of respect to this man.”

“And?”

“And he’s waiting for you in our company’s parlor.”

“Pa–” Jian Yuncheng slapped the table violently as he stood up.

As he walked out of his office, he said to Huo Yu: “I will deal with you later.”

Huo Yu touched his nose in confusion. Did he do something wrong?

Then, Jian Yuncheng went to meet Feng Wei.

Feng Wei was well respected by everyone.

Similar to Elder Zhang, Feng Wei treated Jian Yuncheng quite amicably.

In fact, he was so friendly that Jian Yuncheng felt a bit uncomfortable.
