Chapter 19: Chapter 19: A Subtle Atmosphere

Now, as he ate the dinner Bai Yiran had spent all afternoon preparing for him, listening to her chatter, Leng Yichen felt that his rare impulsive decision was entirely correct. He enjoyed this feeling!

After the two of them finished dinner, Bai Yiran began to clear the table and wash the dishes, but Leng Yichen stopped her, "Leave it there. Sister Liu will clean it up in the morning."

Sister Liu had left after Leng Yichen returned and didn’t stay overnight. She would come over before 7:30 in the morning to prepare breakfast, then take care of cleaning and keeping the house during the day. If necessary, she would prepare dinner in the evening; otherwise, she would leave at six o’clock.

"I’m going to take a shower and change my clothes. You rest for a while," said Leng Yichen, picking up his coat from the sofa in the living room and heading upstairs.

Bai Yiran suddenly realized that only she and Leng Yichen were left in this large house, and she felt a bit at a loss.

It took Bai Yiran quite a while on the first floor before she slowly made her way upstairs. Standing in the corridor on the second floor, she didn’t know what to do. She felt a bit scared, and her hands began to sweat. Although she and Leng Yichen were married, they were not very familiar with each other, and this made her feel uncomfortable. The sound of water from the bedroom bathroom only added to her unease.

Bai Yiran stood by the window in the second-floor corridor, adjusting her breathing as she looked at the scenery outside.

"Didn’t you put your luggage in the bedroom?" Leng Yichen’s voice came from behind her.

Bai Yiran didn’t dare to turn around. Her fingers trembled slightly as they gripped the windowsill, "Uh... I put my luggage in the bedroom next door."

"Why?" Leng Yichen’s voice was calm, giving away no emotion.

Bai Yiran bit her lip, "You know, I just got dumped, and even though we’re married, I’m... I’m not ready yet... I can’t sleep with someone I don’t love... I’m... sorry..."

"That’s not what you said that night," Leng Yichen mercilessly pointed out Bai Yiran’s bold behavior after drinking last night.

Bai Yiran blushed, biting her lip, "I drank too much that night, that’s why I..."

Leng Yichen gazed at Bai Yiran, realizing she truly resisted him. He spoke in a low voice, "You should go to bed early then."

With that, Leng Yichen returned to his large bedroom alone. Only then did Bai Yiran breathe a sigh of relief and walked into the bedroom next to Leng Yichen’s.

Bai Yiran spent the entire night sleepless, her mind filled with memories of the past with Luo Chen, and images of Luo Chen being with Bai Qianyu. She locked herself in the quilt and cried all night. The next morning, when she woke up, her eyes were swollen beyond recognition.

"What to do..." Bai Yiran looked at herself in the mirror and hurriedly washed her face with cold water, then applied makeup, trying to make herself look a bit more normal.

But after all, Leng Yichen noticed.

"Have you been crying?" Leng Yichen’s tone was somewhat displeased.

"Ah? No, not at all! I don’t sleep well in unfamiliar beds, that’s all! Hahaha!" Bai Yiran laughed it off as she walked downstairs.

Downstairs, Sister Liu had already prepared breakfast, smiling warmly at Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen, "Breakfast is ready. Come and eat while it’s hot."

"Oh, great! I’m so hungry!" Bai Yiran tried to appear very happy, sitting down and starting to eat.

Leng Yichen gave Bai Yiran a deep look but ultimately didn’t say anything further and sat down to start eating as well.
