Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Feeling Sorry for Her

At this hour, Ye Wanwan definitely hadn’t woken up yet, so Shen Yi decided to take a shower first.

After the shower, he went to the study to work until past one o’clock in the morning, when his phone ’dinged’ with a notification.

Shen Yi stopped what he was doing, picked up his phone from the side, and saw the WeChat message—it was indeed from Ye Wanwan. He couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

Then, Shen Yi made a video call. Ye Wanwan was still lying in bed, and a light had been turned on in the bedroom, apparently specially by her so that Shen Yi could see her sleep-bleary appearance clearly.

"It snowed last night, I don’t know if it accumulated outside," Ye Wanwan said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Yi replied, "Be careful when you go out, make sure to stay warm and don’t slip."

"Hmm, didn’t it snow there?" Where Shen Yi was located was much colder than back home, with a higher frequency of snowfall.

"It did."

"Then you need to keep warm too. If you get sick out there on your own, there won’t be anyone to take care of you."

"I know."

Ye Wanwan turned over and pulled the blanket up, only her eyes remaining visible as she looked at the phone screen, seemingly at a loss for topics of conversation for a moment.

However, Shen Yi didn’t find it boring in the slightest. Even just watching her through the phone, he still felt a lot more relaxed, as if the day’s exhaustion from work didn’t matter at all.

"Do you miss me?" Shen Yi asked softly.

Ye Wanwan, with her eyes brimming with tears, blurted without hesitation, "Don’t miss."

"Really?" Shen Yi continued to probe.

"Of course, I’ve been very busy every day, I haven’t had time to miss you," Ye Wanwan spoke earnestly, yet her petulant expression was crystal clear to Shen Yi.

She did miss Shen Yi. With him not by her side, there were many things she wasn’t accustomed to.

But she was striving to suppress her dependence on Shen Yi, trying hard to control her possessiveness towards him.

She would work hard to ensure that everything remained just fine.

Shen Yi smiled tenderly, yet felt a pang of heartache, feeling that he had let her down, "Half a month left until the New Year, I’ll try to come back."

While he said this, Shen Yi had actually already made up his mind to return for the New Year.

"I know," Ye Wanwan nodded obediently.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then ended the video call when it was time for Ye Wanwan to get up and prepare for work.

Shen Yi sat in his chair for a while longer before getting up and returning to the bedroom.

...

Before she knew it, Ye Wanwan’s company had already begun their New Year holidays. On the last day, the planning department had a meal together to celebrate the New Year in advance.

When the lively dinner ended and she returned home, the villa was very quiet, with only the butler waiting for the master’s return.

Seeing Ye Wanwan come in, the butler approached to inquire if she needed anything, and after confirming she didn’t, he also retired to his own room.

Back in her bedroom, Ye Wanwan looked around at the familiar, cozy setting, yet couldn’t help feeling a tinge of loneliness.

Sighing, Ye Wanwan rubbed her cheeks, telling herself not to think too much, and went to bed early after having a bath.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi had just returned to his car from a construction site. Unexpected rain had begun to fall, not enough to drench him completely, but enough to get him wet.

Upon entering the car, Shen Yi took off his coat while Assistant Chen quickly fetched a set of spare clothes from the car.
