Chapter 63: Chapter Sixty-Three: Rest

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yun Nan woke up early in the morning and was surprised to find that Shi Nian was still asleep. As a business elite, Shi Nian usually got up early and went to bed late; he kept to this schedule very dedicatedly. In comparison, Yun Nan’s life wasn’t as regular as his; she rarely saw Shi Nian still in bed when she woke up.

...

Due to the time difference, Shi Nian had arranged all his daily briefings with foreign companies in the morning, so Yun Nan would find him holding meetings online in the study or working out in the gym in the morning.

Yun Nan hesitated for a moment. ‘Could he be sick? she silently fretted. She knew he returned home very late last night; she was nearly asleep when he came back, and was so sleepy she couldn’t open her eyes. She hadnt moved to get out of bed; she had already prepared some hangover tea for him in the kitchen—she’d done more than enough for him.

Now, Yun Nan felt worried as she looked at Shi Nian’s motionless form. She walked to Shi Nian’s side of the bed and studied him. His complexion looked normal, and his breathing was stable, but his brows were furrowed. ‘Is he uncomfortable? Yun Nan wondered. ‘I can’tjust leave him like this, so I might

as well…’

Yun Nan carefully stretched out her hand and placed it on Shi Nian’s forehead, intending to check his temperature. However, just as her hand settled on his forehead, someone grabbed her wrist.

Yun Nan cried out in shock. Still holding her wrist, Shi Nian opened his eyes, sat up, and muttered, “My head hurts.”

At that, Yun Nan forgot about the reproach that was on her lips and concernedly asked, ‘You have a headache?”

Shi Nian nodded and replied, “Yeah, I drank too much. My headache would probably be worse if you hadn’t left me some hangover tea.”

Shi Nian buried his head in his blanket and reluctantly released Yun Nan’s wrist; he didn’t want to push her too far. Face hidden, he smiled, delighted she cared so much for him. He recalled the sensation of her hand; her petite hand was very soft and supple.

Yun Nan’s attention was indeed not on her hand. Instead, she anxiously asked, “Is it bad? Should we go to the hospital?”

Shi Nian suddenly had a thought and stated pitifully, “My stomach isn’t feeling well. I think it’s because I drank too much last night, so going to the hospital won’t help much.”

Yun Nan got the hint and quickly offered, “Then I’ll go make some porridge for you. It won’t take long; in the meantime, you can have some rest!” That said, she rushed downstairs without waiting for Shi Nian’s reply.

Shi Nian raised his head, looked at the staircase, and laughed. ‘I never knew chasing girls could be so much fun,’ he mused. ‘I guess that would depend on if the girl in question is interesting.’

When the porridge was ready, Shi Nian ‘wobbled’ down the stairs in casual clothes. “You didn’t need to come down. I was going to bring it up for you,” Yun Nan concernedly told him.

Shi Nian shook his head, pulled out a dining chair, and sat down. He yawned before looking at the fragrant minced meat porridge before him and took a deep breath. He picked up a spoon and nodded approvingly as he tasted the porridge.

Yun Nan felt relieved when she saw him eating the porridge and brought her breakfast to the table: two slices of bread, a boiled egg, and a glass of milk.

Shi Nian reached out, took a piece of bread off her plate, and bit into it. “Is this all you’re having for breakfast?”

“I’m in a hurry today, so this will do,” Yun Nan answered.

“Oh? What’s the matter?” asked Shi Nian.

Yun Nan took a sip of milk and informed him, “There’s a meeting today about the things we have to get ready before filming starts. Um, Mika asked Shi Xiu to come, too. He hasn’t given up yet—he wants her to play a cameo role.”

Yun Nan tentatively glanced at Shi Nian. Although he did not object to it last time, she was still worried he might change his mind. Shi Nian ate his porridge and took another bite of the bread before he nodded and said, “Hm.”

‘ What does he mean by that? Yun Nan thought.

“Can I come?” Shi Nian asked.

‘ What?!’ Yun Nan stared at him, dumbfounded. Shi Nian was secretly a little nervous but acted nonchalantly as he commented, “I’m taking the day off. Can I go to your workplace for a tour? I can keep an eye on Shi Xiu and prevent her from causing trouble.”

“Don’t be silly. Shi Xiu’s an angel; she won’t be any trouble,” Yun Nan retorted. Then, she realized that Shi Nian wanted to see her studio. ‘Perhaps he has a sudden interest in the filming industry? she thought.

She gave Shi Nian a once-over; he was wearing beige trousers paired with a white casual shirt. ‘ Tsk! He’s ridiculously handsome.’

“If you go to our studio looking like this, Mika might detain you,” she said pointedly. Shi Nian was puzzled and raised his eyebrows questioningly at Yun Nan.

Yun Nan laughed and told him, “He’s our casting director and he’d definitely encourage you to become his actor. He can’t help but want to recruit all the handsome and beautiful people he meets. ”

“You think I’m handsome?” Shi Nian suddenly asked with shining eyes.

Yun Nan nodded and chortled, “Of course! I heard that you’re the dream man of every girl in the city. I’d say the eyes of the masses are discerning.”

The light in Shi Nian’s eyes went out, and he remarked, “In this day and age, anyone with a little bit of money can be the dream man of every girl in the city.

The eyes of the masses are only sharp when it comes to money.” Yun Nan was surprised and laughed so hard that she almost collapsed..
