Jing Yao woke up much earlier than usual the next day because she thought that Liang Xun would call her.
When she opened her eyes in a daze, she instinctively looked at the door.
The bedroom door was tightly shut. The figure that she could see when she woke up in the past was not there.
In the past, many times, the bedroom door would be open when she woke up. There was a high chance that Liang Xun would stand at the door and look at her gently, saying good morning to her.
However, there was nothing today. Liang Xun had gone on a business trip!
Jing Yao felt disappointed, but she quickly remembered Liang Xun’s message last night. She threw away the bolster in her arms and picked up her cell phone to check.
There was a new message on her cell phone, but there was no call.
Feeling disappointed again, Jing Yao pursed her lips, threw her cell phone on the bed, and went to the bathroom.

There was no big hands that had patted her countless times behind her back, nor was there any tender coaxing.
Jing Yao almost vomited all the acid in her stomach before she felt better. She stood up, brushed her teeth and washed her face again, then changed into casual clothes and left the bedroom.
At this moment, Shen Zhao was not awake yet, but Auntie Li was already making breakfast.
Hearing Jing Yao coming out, Auntie Li walked out of the kitchen and asked in confusion, “Yaoyao, why are you up so early today?”
Jing Yao didn’t want her to worry. She smiled and said, “I slept too early last night.”
Auntie Li did not suspect anything. She wiped her hands clean and poured her a glass of warm water. She handed it to her like she was coaxing a child. “Sit down and drink some water. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
Jing Yao nodded and sat obediently on the sofa, drinking water and looking at her cell phone. She looked disappointed one moment and angry the next.
Liang Xun, who was on the other side of the ocean, was also very tormented. He had been tense from negotiating with someone just now. At this moment, his temples were aching. He had not slept for more than 20 hours.
“There’s still some time before we reach the hotel. President Liang, do you want to sleep first?” the chauffeur suggested when he saw Liang Xun rubbing his temples.
Liang Xun shook his head. “No need.”
He looked at his cell phone silently. Jing Yao should not be awake yet. He would definitely wake her up if he called her.
Liang Xun counted the time and waited for half an hour. He didn’t sleep even when he arrived at the hotel. When Jing Yao usually woke up, he called.
The call was picked up instantly.
“Liang Xun!” Jing Yao’s voice was soft and pleasant.
Liang Xun’s heart instantly softened. This was the first time he realized that his name sounded so pleasant.
“Has Baby been awake for a long time?” Liang Xun asked.
Because he could tell that Jing Yao’s voice was very clear and there was no sign of her waking up.
Jing Yao was silent for a moment. She had been sitting in the living room for more than half an hour, but she couldn’t let Liang Xun know.
Jing Yao said casually, “No, I just got up.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. That sounded very fake. Besides, Jing Yao didn’t flare up even when he called her “baby”. She must have been feeling guilty just now.
“Oh.” Liang Xun continued to ask calmly, “Did Baby sleep well last night?”

Liang Xun frowned. He could already guess what was going on.
“Liang Xun, is it night on your side?” Jing Yao was afraid that Liang Xun would ask again, so she quickly grasped the topic.
Liang Xun sighed imperceptibly and followed her words. “It’s night time. I just ate and returned to the hotel.”
Jing Yao hummed softly and muttered to herself, “You’ve been away for 23 hours. It’s going to be a day soon.”
Liang Xun’s heart ached. He wished he could fly back to Jing Yao immediately.
“I’ll finish my work as soon as possible and come back. Baby, you have to take care of yourself at home,” Liang Xun coaxed gently.
Jing Yao first responded in a low voice, then said angrily, “Don’t call me Baby.”
Liang Xun chuckled.
When Jing Yao heard that, her face heated up slightly. She whispered, “Liang Xun, don’t be too tired. You have to rest well. There’s no hurry to come back. 1 can take care of myself.”
Jing Yao’s voice became lower and lower as she spoke. If there was any noise around, it might cover her voice.
It was obvious how shy she was when she said these words..
