Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Strive to Return to the Country as Soon as Possible

Shen Yi finished a cup, set it aside, and clearly had no intention of continuing to drink.

Zhang Yang got the hint and didn’t insist on drinking more. He just kept babbling, saying some flattering words.

The meal lasted over an hour. Shen Yi glanced at the time before saying, "It’s about time. Let’s call it a day."

Zhang Yang originally had other plans, but seeing the situation, he couldn’t say more and could only arrange for someone to send them back.

Before leaving, Shen Yi looked at his colleagues who had come with him, "Take the next couple of days off to sort out your personal affairs."

"In two days we’ll start working formally. I hope everyone can give it their all and aim to complete the work as soon as possible so we can return home."

A few people, led by Assistant Chen, nodded in agreement, and then they left the hotel.

Shen Yi’s accommodation had already been set up before he arrived. It was in an excellent location, with a good environment, and the apartment was fully furnished; Shen Yi only needed to take out some of his personal belongings.

Shen Yi took out his personal belongings and quickly organized them, then went straight to the shower.

Maybe it was because he had rested a while on the airplane, and with the jet lag, after the shower, Shen Yi felt much more refreshed.

Checking the time and estimating when Ye Wanwan would wake up, he saw there were still two to three hours to go. So instead of going to sleep, Shen Yi went to the study, turned on the computer, and started working.

What Shen Yi didn’t know was that Ye Wanwan had a restless night.

In her hazy dream, she saw many things from her past life. She seemed to be aware she was dreaming, so she kept trying to struggle out of it.

But no matter how much she struggled or wanted to escape that nightmare, she couldn’t wake up.

She watched herself go insane, saw herself hurting Shen Yi, hurting Zhouzhou, hurting everyone around her who wanted to do good by her.

The last scene was her dying alone on a rainy night.

When Ye Wanwan woke up, she was sweating profusely, and there was a damp feeling even inside the blanket. Disregarding the cold, she flung the blanket off to cool down for a while.

Only when she felt cold did she let out a long sigh and pull the blanket back over herself.

She picked up the phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time. It was just past six. Seeing a message on WeChat, she clicked in and saw it was from Shen Yi.

Ye Wanwan had just sent a message to Shen Yi when she immediately saw the words "typing..." appear in the chat box.

Then she received Shen Yi’s message. Shen Yi asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Ye Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Without you here to wake me up, I was worried I’d oversleep, so I woke up early."

Shen Yi couldn’t help but laugh and didn’t tell her not to worry anymore. Instead, he said, "Miss Ye, you’ve worked hard."

Shen Yi then made a video call to Ye Wanwan directly. Ye Wanwan’s room was dark, with the curtains drawn, so naturally, Shen Yi couldn’t see anything.

The two chatted in the dark for a bit. Hearing that Ye Wanwan’s voice still sounded sleepy, Shen Yi said, "It’s still early, you can sleep a bit more. Go back to sleep."

"Mhm," Ye Wanwan sluggishly responded.

Just as they were about to hang up the video call, Shen Yi suddenly said, "I love you."

Shen Yi’s words came out unexpectedly, almost as if it were a routine, but Ye Wanwan couldn’t help the tears welling up in her eyes.
