When Ye Junqing finished his bath and returned to the room, Ye Xingguang was already "asleep". On the surface, she seemed to be sleeping, even exaggeratedly snoring. But he knew she never snored in her sleep.
The snoring... was quite convincingly performed.
Ye Xingguang's heart throbbed nervously in her throat, taking refuge in her pretense of sleeping and snoring. Even so, she could still sense a pair of eyes that appeared to see through her clumsy deception, making her anxious and fidgety.
Her cheeks flushed a shade deeper.
The room was incredibly quiet, so quiet that she could clearly hear a man's breathing. Ye Xingguang could also hear her own heartbeat thumping loudly, bang, bang, bang... She wondered, could he hear it too?
Ye Junqing took out his notebook, sat on the bed, and started a video conference.
Before connecting, Ye Junqing tossed out a line, "Lower your snoring sound, or else my division managers will know I have a snoring fairy beside me."
