192: subtle relationship

Wang Chen was woken up by her. He opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to go back to my room..." Bai Li said with a long face, "But I can't get up..."

Wang Chen sat up and pulled her into his arms. "Then sleep a bit longer. Anyway, your mom already knows."

"How do you know she knows?"

"Just a guess." Wang Chen rubbed her hair. "It was so loud last night; unless she's deaf, she definitely heard it."

Bai Li's face flushed red instantly. She reached out to pinch him and said, "It's all your fault!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault," Wang Chen admitted his mistake cooperatively. "So you should rest well now and don't think about running around."

Bai Li thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

Anyway, her mother had already agreed to them being together, so if she knew, she knew.

Thinking this way, she immediately relaxed and curled back into Wang Chen's arms, finding a comfortable position.

In less than a minute, the sound of steady breathing could be heard.

She was truly exhausted.

Wang Chen looked at her sleeping face, smiled dotingly, and gently tucked her in.

Then, his mind sank into the system space... As soon as he entered, the system notification sounded in his head!

Wang Chen, who had experienced this many times, remained calm as he looked at the long list of rewards before him.

After a few casual glances, he exited the system space.

He had nothing to do this morning anyway, so it wouldn't be too late to study them slowly later.

He checked the time; it was 7:00 AM.

Bai Li was still sleeping soundly in his arms, a sweet smile on the corners of her mouth, as if dreaming of something good.

Wang Chen gently pulled out his arm that she was pressing on, got out of bed quietly, tidied up the scattered "evidence" on the floor, got dressed, and walked out of the room.

The villa was very quiet; the servants hadn't started working yet.

As soon as he went downstairs, he ran into Xue Wanrong at the foot of the stairs.

Xue Wanrong was wearing sportswear, looking like she had just returned from a morning workout, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing Wang Chen, she was stunned for a moment, then revealed a meaningful smile. "Xiao Chen, up so early? Why didn't you sleep a bit longer?"

Wang Chen felt a little guilty under her gaze and rubbed his nose. "I'm used to waking up early. Did you go for a morning workout, Auntie?"

"Yes, I haven't exercised in a long time. I woke up early this morning, so I went for a few laps." Xue Wanrong sized him up, her eyes filled with a bit of teasing. "Young man, you must pay attention to your health."

Wang Chen: "..."

There was a hidden meaning in those words!

He could only bite the bullet and pretend not to understand. "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I will pay attention."

"Where's A Li? Still sleeping?" Xue Wanrong glanced upstairs.

"...Yes." Wang Chen felt his face burning with embarrassment.

"Let her sleep a bit longer." Xue Wanrong smiled. "You go wash up first, then go have breakfast. I'll go take a shower, change my clothes, and join you."

Wang Chen felt as if he had been granted a grand pardon and quickly slipped into the first-floor bathroom.

After a quick wash, he walked into the dining room and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he was still savoring the experience from before.

His mind was still replaying Xue Wanrong's look just now.

That was clearly an "I understand everything" look!

After a while, Xue Wanrong changed into a white dress and came down, entered the dining room, and sat opposite him.

Seeing Wang Chen sitting there without moving, she thought he was waiting for them. "That girl A Li will probably sleep for a while longer. Let's eat first."

The two sat face to face without a single word of communication; the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Xue Wanrong picked up the soy milk and took a sip, her eyes drifting toward Wang Chen, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wang Chen kept his head down, concentrating on eating a bun, pretending not to see.

In the end, it was Xue Wanrong who spoke first. "Xiao Chen."

"Hmm?" Wang Chen raised his head.

"Is A Li... okay?" Xue Wanrong asked somewhat implicitly.

Wang Chen almost choked on the bun and coughed twice. "She's, she's fine..."

"That's good." Xue Wanrong nodded and added another sentence, "It's a girl's first time; you should take more care of her."

Wang Chen: "...Auntie, don't worry. A Li will always be a little princess in my heart, and I will always spoil her."

Xue Wanrong nodded with satisfaction, but there was still a hint of complexity in her eyes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her either.

Since using the constitution strengthening fluid and life origin fluid, her whole person had become younger, and it seemed her mindset had also undergone some changes.

Especially after hearing the commotion in the room next door last night, she hadn't slept well all night.

Her mind was filled with her daughter and Wang Chen's business one moment, and some messy thoughts the next.

Moreover, seeing Wang Chen this morning, she always felt... this kid seemed even more handsome than yesterday?

Could it be a psychological effect?

Xue Wanrong shook her head, shaking these strange thoughts out of her mind.

"By the way, Xiao Chen," she changed the subject, "how many days will you stay in the Imperial Capital this time? Do you have any arrangements?"

"Three or four days," Wang Chen said. "Today I'm going to take over some properties, and tomorrow I might go look at some projects."

"Do you need help?" Xue Wanrong asked. "I still have some connections in the Imperial Capital."

"Not for now," Wang Chen smiled. "If I really need it, I will definitely speak up."

"That's good." Xue Wanrong nodded. "Treat this place as your own home; don't be polite."

The two chatted for a while longer, and breakfast was almost finished.

Xue Wanrong stood up to clear the dishes. Wang Chen wanted to help, but she pressed him back into his chair.
