11 A Comfortable Pillow (1)

Ye Chengwei went for his morning jog. An Ran woke up very soon. It was still uncomfortable to sleep in someone else's bed. She washed up and changed into her school uniform. She prepared to go downstairs but got An Ze's call.

"Sister, Grandma fell. She's in the emergency room." An Ze sounded urgent.

"I'm going to the hospital right now." An Ran hung up quickly and opened the door, running downstairs.

"Where is he?" she asked hurriedly when she saw Sister Rong.

"The Young Master is jogging. He'll probably be back soon."

"Oh." An Ran was as tense as ants on a frying pan. She didn't know what to do.

"Miss An, what's wrong?" Sister Rong asked.

"No, nothing," An Ran said hurriedly. She suddenly thought of something and walked upstairs. "Sister Rong, tell him I'm waiting in the library."

Sister Rong smiled softly.

An Ran opened the library. She found paper and a pen and hurriedly wrote down "Lifetime Lover Contract." As soon as she finished, Ye Chengwei pushed the door open and came in.

He wore a black tank top and running shorts. His sweaty hair swooped across his forehead and he looked very sexy.

But An Ran wasn't in the mood to enjoy it. She handed the contract to Ye Chengwei and said, "I need money."

The three words made Ye Chengwei's expression turn cold. He glanced at the paper but didn't accept it.

His lips curled up into a cold smile.

It was only a relationship about money. The comfort that he felt when hugging her last night was wiped away. He, Ye Chengwei, had almost felt peace from a relationship built on money like a little boy.

Without speaking, he walked past An Ran to the desk.

"It's urgent." An Ran didn't feel confident seeing that he wasn't speaking.

Ye Chengwei's expression was frigid. His jawline grew harder. He pulled open the drawer and threw a card at An Ran.

The card fell down before her. An Ran froze, but she didn't have time to think about this humiliating action. She picked up the card without thinking and turned to leave.

But after two steps, she came back and placed the contract onto the table. "Sorry," she said softly.

She didn't know why Ye Chengwei was angry, but it was probably because of her. She couldn't explain now though. She had to hurry to the hospital.

Ye Chengwei grabbed the contract and was about to rip it up, but he stopped. He crumpled it up and threw it into the drawer.

"Young Master, breakfast is ready," Sister Rong said outside the door. "Will you eat now?"

"Toss it out." Ye Chengwei's voice was cold.

He strolled to the window and saw a small figure darting around the yard aimlessly. Sighing, he pulled his phone out for a call.

"Zhang, give her a ride."

Changes in life never went according to plans. An Ran brought the money to the hospital excitedly but received the horrible news that her grandmother had passed away.

Her grandmother had gone to the bathroom and unfortunately fell. She never climbed back up. At that time, Gao Enying had left to buy breakfast.

An Ran held Ye Chengwei's card. It felt like the world had ended.

As soon as the seven days of mourning had passed, the loan sharks came to demand their payment. Gao Enying was only a minor white-collar worker. It was already difficult to raise two kids. She didn't have any extra savings to pay for the grandmother's medical bills, so she had no choice but to go to loan sharks.

Without telling her mother, An Ran used the 200,000 yuan in the card to pay the debts. Including the interest, it happened to be 200,000 yuan.

She wanted to pay Ye Chengwei back. Now, it seemed that she was destined to owe him for life.
