I’ve Put Her To Sleep

The hands of the wall clock in the lounge pointed to 1.30 p.m. as He Yi sat on needles. She attempted to walk out of the lounge to continue working a few times before she was stopped by Bao Bao.

"Aunt He, Daddy says that you have to rest!" Bao Bao blinked his beautiful eyes innocently and said in a serious tone.

He Yi patted her own forehead, she was unsure of whether to laugh or cry. She was genuinely speechless because of the pair! "Bao Bao, I have work, I can't rest just yet!"

"Daddy says that he'll help you out!" Bao Bao yawned as he talked. He had a habit of taking an afternoon nap and it was his nap time. "Aunt He, I want to take a nap! I want hugs and kisses!"

He Yi was speechless but she could not refuse when she stared at how adorable he was, she sighed internally. Although she had a pile of work to do, she just could not say no to the sleepy child who was asking for hugs and kisses!

She carried Bao Bao onto a huge sofa bed and patted him patiently with him in her arms. She even started humming a lullaby as requested by him.

"My dearest baby, I'm flying over mountains to search for the missing sun, to search for the missing moon…"

"Aunt He, you have to sing with your eyes closed!" Bao Bao snuggled his head in He Yi's arms like a puppy to find a comfortable position as he prepared to fall asleep with the sweet lullaby.

"My dearest baby, I'm crossing oceans to search for the missing rainbow, to catch the missing shooting star…" He Yi closed her eyes and yawned, too. She did not have any sleep the previous night and her intense focus on work that morning already depleted her energy and stamina fully. With Bao Bao smelling nice in her arms, her tensed nerves were miraculously relaxed.

"I'm flying to the endless night sky, to pluck the stars for you to play with. I'm touching the moon, and write your name on it! I'm going back to you safely, to tell you everything, my dearest baby!"

It was 1.30 p.m., the agency company's conference room chosen as the temporary interview location became congested once again but the interviewer in charge became Yi Liangze instead.

He occupied the seat He Yi took that morning to conduct the afternoon session of the interview on her behalf.

Ji Xueshan assisted Yi Liangze by handing him documents, answering his internal inquiries, and serving tea and water to him.

He Yi was no match for Yi Liangze's stability and capability in his extremely high work efficiency coupled with his harsh and precise instincts in reading people. Ji Xueshan was impressed internally. The CEO of Kai Kun International Group indeed lived up to his name and having him conduct interviews was overkill.

She wondered how He Yi managed to get Yi Liangze to work for her, not to mention he brought her lunch without any pay like a volunteer!

An hour passed unknowingly! Yi Liangze who was bending over his desk while working looked up, his deep, sharp eyes glimpsed to the direction where a delicate little boy was hiding behind a sofa while sticking his head out. "Bao Bao, did you take good care of Aunt He?"

Bao Bao reported hurriedly to his father's question, "I've put her to sleep! Can I play?"

"Fine. Come here!" Yi Liangze looked up and commanded, "Don't make a mess!"

Bao Bao ran to Yi Liangze happily with his short little legs before climbing up the huge sofa chair. He then took Yi Liangze's phone to click into an app called Anipop and started playing.

Ji Xueshan who was at the side became dumbfounded at the fact that Bao Bao put He Yi to sleep!

The feverish breath, scorching body, intimate hugs and kisses in the dark room...

He Yi fell into the devil's claws. Unable to struggle free, she could only endure everything submissively. She cried and screamed but the devil did not seem to care and continued his wild and merciless ravishing!

Then, a flash of lightning struck across the complete darkness and illuminated the face of the man who was within an arm's length to her!

She could barely catch a glimpse from the flash of light of the man's eyes red from desire and his flawless gorgeous face. It was Yi Liangze!

'He's Yi Liangze! How can it be him?'

He Yi leaped into a sitting position immediately and opened her eyes to an empty room. The lounge was covered with thick curtains in the afternoon and she fell asleep for two hours without even realizing it.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead as she shook her head. She was certain that she must not be in her right mind because of fatigue. Her bizarre dream became blurred as she remembered her heavy workload that afternoon.

"Goodness!" exclaimed He Yi as she rushed to wash up without thinking any further. She dashed out of the lounge and headed straight to the congested conference room so that she could continue withthe interviews.

He Yi realized that the horde of interviewees was divided into five lines when she reached and there were another four interviewers in charge of the interview aside from Yi Liangze.

"Aunt He, you're awake!" Bao Bao threw the phone away happily when he noticed her and ran to her for a hug.

He Yi could no longer underestimate the little guy. She caressed his tiny head and asked, "When did you wake up?"

She fell into a deep sleep whereas he ran out here to play, looking full of energy, despite she was the one trying to put him to sleep. She was somewhat awkward when she thought about that.

Bao Bao blinked his huge, beautiful eyes and answered in an innocent tone, "You were not awake when I woke up and I didn't want to disturb you!"

'What a thoughtful little gentleman!' He Yi could not help but bent over to plant a kiss on Bao Bao's head before holding his hand and walked to Yi Liangze.

Yi Liangze who was just finished with interviewing a candidate closed his notebook and said to He Yi, "You have to interview the high and intermediate tier management staff personally. For the technicians, you can just let the intermediate management staff interview them! Remember, as the CEO, you don't have to do everything by yourself!"

He Yi nodded with admiration, "Understood! Thank you, Young Master Yi!"

He Yi was indeed in a mess after taking over a company with a pile of work to do. As Yi Liangze said, she would have fallen from fatigue before the company could start operating if she chose to do everything by herself.

Yi Liangze was going to say something when his phone rang. He answered the call and said a few things. "…Mister Qi is here already? Alright, I'll be there in half an hour!"

He Yi knew that a person with Yi Liangze's status must be extremely busy and yet, he chose to come and help her with his work. She owed him another huge favor, a bigger one compared to the two in the past!

'Why is he treating me so well?'

He Yi would never believe that he did all those voluntary work just because he was bored!
