Chapter 87 - 87: No Beginning, No End
With so many thoughts running through her mind, Hai Tang unknowingly fell asleep.
When the alarm rang the next day, Hai Tang sat up abruptly almost reflexively. Only then did she realize that Gu Yun had carried her back to her room to sleep.
Hai Tang rubbed her slightly swollen temples and looked to the side. There was no one beside her. According to Gu Yun’s habits, he should have woken up early.
However, Hai Tang still noticed a small detail.
The bedsheet beside her was a little wrinkled. It was obvious that someone had slept with her. She touched it in a daze, but she realized that there was no residual body temperature.
This meant that someone had slept here, but before she woke up, that person had already left.
Hai Tang couldn’t help but imagine Gu Yun sending her to the bed in the room after she fell asleep. He lay quietly beside her and looked at her for a while before leaving.
Soon, she subconsciously shook her head with a red face, trying to shake away the image that had inexplicably appeared in her mind.
How could Gu Yun peek at her while she was asleep? Gu Yun didn’t have such leisure, nor did he have such feelings, Hai Tang thought.
When Hai Tang finished washing up and walked out of the room, Gu Yun was already sitting in the dining room, dressed neatly.
Seeing her come down, Gu Yun smiled and said to her, “Breakfast is milk and toast. The jam filling is your favorite passionfruit flavor.”
Hai Tang ruffled her hair somewhat unnaturally and asked somewhat embarrassedly,””Gu Yun…Didn’t you eat anything last night?”
Gu Yun pulled out a chair for her and said,”After I sent you back to bed last night, I cooked a bowl of noodles for myself. I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so I didn’t wake you up.”
“Oh, that’s good.” Hai Tang nodded. After sitting down and taking a bite of toast, she finally reacted and said in surprise,””Aiya, you were clearly the one who was drunk, but I didn’t help much. You even had to send me back to my room!”
When she was sitting in Gu Yun’s arms last night, she somehow became very calm and at ease. In the end, she actually fell asleep unknowingly.
She slept soundly this time, much better than the previous few nights.
For some reason, Hai Tang had a vague feeling that she would sleep soundly with Gu Yun by her side.
If she slept so soundly last night, didn’t that mean that Gu Yun was with her the entire night…
Thinking of this, Hai Tang’s eyes widened slightly. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to eat, patting her hot face with the back of her slightly cold hand.
“It’s okay. It’s my responsibility to take care of you.”Gu Yun said calmly.
Hai Tang was stunned.
Gu Yun said this very naturally, as if he had always thought so in his heart. He had always regarded himself as the role that needed to take care of her.
This was different from many people Hai Tang knew.
In the Hai family, her adoptive mother, Shu Mei, asked her to take care of the family and her brother, Hai Yuan.
After getting to know Yu Heng, Yu Heng often said that he needed a virtuous wife because he needed someone who could take care of him and his family.
Thus, Hai Tang learned to observe other people’s expressions from a young age and act according to the situation. She also tried her best to make her actions appropriate so that others would not hate her.
She often compromised, swallowing her sadness and grievances, and facing others with a smile.
It was precisely because of this that she was able to stay in the Hai family and let her adoptive mother treat her calmly. It was also because of this that she was able to follow Yu Heng, who had countless beautiful women around him, for so many years.
She had long been used to taking care of others and pandering to them. In the face of other people’s requests, she did not even know how to reject them. That was why she was bullied in the workplace.
Even if they were friends, Hai Tang would try her best to take care of others.
Her best friend, Yun Nuan, even complained that she was born to be a nanny.
However, she did not expect that there would be someone who wanted to take care of her.
Thinking of this, Hai Tang suddenly said emotionally,””Gu Yun, I always seem to reject you.”
“Hmm?” Gu Yun looked up at her and was a little puzzled.” I don’t think so.’”‘
In his opinion, Hai Tang was too obedient. She never caused him trouble and restrained herself in everything. This Hai Tang made his heart ache even more.
He couldn’t imagine what Hai Tang had gone through to sharpen her temper to the point where there were no edges.
These words that sounded like they had no beginning or end were actually Hai Tang’s thoughts that she couldn’t help but reveal..
