Growing more and more overwhelmed by his thoughts, Chen Kai finally decided to stop pondering and, listening to An Mengyao's steady breathing next to him, gradually drifted off to sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept. He only knew that he was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dawn outside. Seeing An Mengyao still sleeping soundly, he carefully got out of bed, not wanting to disturb her.
He went to the living room and dialed Qin Xiang's number on his phone.
"I am still at An Mengyao's house, didn't I tell you last night? An Mengyao probably won't make it to work today."
Qin Xiang responded coolly, without any warmth in her tone.
"I know. When you're done taking care of An Mengyao, just go back to work at the office."
