Day two.
Bai Li slowly woke up, her mind still a little hazy when she first opened her eyes.
She slowly sat up, the blanket sliding off her smooth skin.
Shirai has never had the habit of sleeping naked.
Realizing her current state, she instinctively reached out and grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
At that moment, she also got a clear look at her surroundings.
This is... Jingye's room.
The memory suddenly returned in an instant.
Everything that happened in this room last night played out in her mind like a movie.
Bathroom, bed, windowsill, tableside...
Bai Li covered her flushed face with the blanket and couldn't help but let out a soft moan: "Ah..."
Everything happened so naturally.
Bai Li couldn't understand how things could have developed so smoothly.
How could I have been so foolish as to think that Jingye's invitation for me to stay overnight meant we were just going to sleep under the covers?
Quiet night, though a synonym for ultimate gentleness.
But he is also a normal man.
Last night, she had fully experienced the other side of this butler hidden beneath his gentleness. After years of abstinence, once released, he was so fierce.
"Stop! You can't think about it anymore!"
Bai Li shook her head, trying to recall the scenes of her losing control last night.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then carefully lifted the blanket to check her condition.
She was so tired yesterday that she fell asleep immediately, and she can't remember much about what happened afterward.
At this moment, she felt completely dry, without any stickiness.
The bed sheets are new too.
Clearly, Jingye took good care of her.
Moreover, perhaps because of her [health] attribute points, despite their intense lovemaking last night, she didn't feel particularly unwell when she woke up this morning.
On the contrary, because I slept very well, my whole body felt numb and tingly.
"By the way, what time is it now?"
Bai Li suddenly realized the time issue.
She looked around and soon spotted her things on the bedside table.
Cell phones, jewelry, changes of clothes, and other items were all neatly arranged.
When Bai Li picked up her phone and looked at it, she was completely stunned.
It's already noon!
How long has she been asleep?
Bai Li put on the new clothes on the bedside table, quickly washed up, combed her hair, took a deep breath, and went out of the room to go downstairs to find someone.
Before she had even fully entered the restaurant, Bai Li saw what was happening inside and stopped in her tracks.
what's the situation?
Did I have a problem with my posture when I entered the room?
Inside the restaurant, Jingye and Guancha were sitting on opposite sides of the table, chatting happily.
Exquisite tea sets were laid out in front of them, with several dishes of tea snacks arranged in a pleasing manner in the middle. The aroma of tea rose gently and filled the air.
They look so happy and harmonious?
Hearing footsteps, the two of them turned around and smiled at the same time.
Bai Li was somewhat at a loss.
If you look closely, the smiles on their faces don't seem fake.
What happened between these two who were at loggerheads last night?
Bai Li felt a chill run down her spine, but she forced herself to walk into the restaurant. Her voice was hesitant as she softly greeted, "Good morning?"
Jingye stood up first, pulled out a chair for Baili, and asked with a gentle smile, "Good morning, Miss, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
If it weren't for the eerie atmosphere, Bai Li might have been shy when she saw Jing Ye, but at this moment, she was filled with doubt.
Guan Cha quickly stood up as well, smiling at Bai Li with a hint of intimacy in her voice: "Good morning, Li Li, you're finally awake. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Bai Li slowly sat down and answered Jing Ye's question first: "No need."
Her gaze then shifted back and forth between the two men.
Despite the harmonious atmosphere they created, Bai Li felt uneasy.
What happened while I was sleeping?
I feel like I made a huge mistake.
Jingye thoughtfully brought the carefully prepared breakfast from the kitchen to Baili: "Have something to eat first."
Two men, one on the left and one on the right, sat down, flanking him.
It was as if they had already agreed to it; they didn't fight or compete.
Bai Li picked up the cutlery, her doubts deepening. She asked curiously, "Have you already eaten?"
Having received affirmative answers from both of them, Bai Li glanced at the tea on the table once more.
The tea had dwindled considerably, indicating that the two had been chatting for quite some time.
As Bai Li ate her breakfast, she kept wondering to herself:
I have no idea what those two were talking about.
How did it change so drastically?
Bai Li didn't ask directly; she needed to observe further, as something was very wrong!
As it happens, there are many things at the company that need to be handed over to Jingye.
Guan Cha also has many things he asked Guan Cha to help with that he needs to provide feedback on.
So Bai Li simply resolved the matter openly and honestly at the dinner table.
She described in detail the progress of each task and the next steps, while Jingye and Guancha listened attentively, occasionally offering their opinions and suggestions.
The time allotted for breakfast was spent in such work-related exchanges.
After the meal, Bai Li had roughly figured out the two men's tactics.
It seems they are truly preparing for peaceful coexistence.
If we can get together to discuss business and there are no communication barriers, aren't we all in the same boat?
Bai Li picked up a napkin, elegantly wiped her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question that had been on her mind most: "What did you all talk about while I was gone?"
The restaurant fell into a brief silence upon hearing this question…
I've said a lot.
It was Jingye who first brought it up with Guancha.
However, no serious conflict occurred.
Jingye is not the type of person who would actively provoke conflict.
Although she disapproved of some of Guan Cha's behaviors, since Guan Cha was someone the young lady had taken in, if a conflict were to occur between the two of them, the young lady would be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position.
Out of his love and care for Miss Guan, he decided to put aside his prejudices and take the initiative to find Guan Cha and communicate with him.
On the one hand, it allows us to further understand Guan Cha's character; on the other hand, it allows us to test his purpose in approaching the young lady and explore how the two should get along in the future.
These are problems they can't avoid. If they can be resolved internally, the young lady won't have to worry about them or feel embarrassed.
Guan Cha was a smart man, and he could naturally guess Jing Ye's thoughts.
He and Bai Li had lived together for a long time, and their bond was deeper than that between him and Bai Li.
Last night, after Bai Li escorted him to the guest room, she went to Jing Ye's room, which speaks volumes.
Therefore, Guan Cha is self-aware.
If you confront Jingye head-on, you'll only end up hurting yourself.
Although I felt very unhappy and resentful.
But since Jingye communicated with him calmly, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
As a result, the two had an in-depth conversation.
They come from vastly different backgrounds, have completely different personalities, and are also competitors.
Therefore, communication was not smooth.
But they at least have one point of consensus.
—The happiness and safety of Bai Li are paramount.
Only through this consensus can communication continue.
The relationship gradually improved.
Even now, for the sake of Bai Li, they have tacitly maintained a facade of peace.
Even if they harbor resentment towards the other person, they will never easily reveal it again.
That's why Shirari saw the scene when she first entered the restaurant.
Before receiving a reply, Bai Li looked at Jing Ye.
Jingye remained calm and said succinctly, "Some misunderstandings have been cleared up, Miss. Don't worry, there's no conflict between us."
Guan Cha nodded in agreement, her tone light and cheerful: "I chatted with Jingye all morning and found him to be quite interesting!"
Bai Li narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in them.
I always felt that things weren't that simple.
But the fact that they stopped clashing is a good thing.
