Just as she was about to skip yet another channel, the door to the main bedroom was suddenly pulled open and out walked Qin Yinan.

He's still awake so late at night? Cheng Qingchong asked herself internally, but she didn't have the courage to look at him, much less ask him in person.

Qin Yinan stood at the door and looked at Cheng Qingchong for half a minute. His lips moved, but no words came out before he turned to walk toward the study. He moved as fast as wind, and when he closed the door, he swung the door heavily. However, probably due to the concern that a door slamming might wake up Mrs. Cheng, he pulled on the door at the last minute. Yet, it was already quite obvious that he was in a bad mood.

Although, this did mean that the main bedroom was empty. Cheng Qingchong sat on the sofa for some time, and when she noticed Qin Yinan didn't exit the study, she started to hesitate. However, in the end, she didn't get up from the sofa.

She was afraid that after she went in, he would follow behind her…

…

In the study, Qin Yinan sat at his table and lit a cigarette. The tower of documents was set up before him, but he didn't pick any up to read.

The night was quiet, so even through the closed door, he could hear the sound of advertisements coming from the television in the living room. I've already vacated the bedroom for her, but she still refuses to sleep in it? She plans to spend the whole night in the living room? So be it, if she wants to do that, fine, why should I care‽

Qin Yinan took a huge drag of the cigarette with a gloomy face. As he breathed out a mouthful of smoke, Qin Yinan suddenly squished the flame of the cigarette angrily on the cigarette box. He kicked the chair out from behind him, stood up, and stalked toward the door.

She doesn't want to rest? Fine, then I'll drag her back into the bedroom to…

Qin Yinan had just reached the door when his phone that was placed on the desk rang. Qin Yinan turned toward the clock. It was already 3 am, who would call him at that time?

Qin Yinan pulled his hand away from the door knob and turned back to his desk. When he saw the caller ID, he frowned before picking it up. "What's wrong? Why are you calling so late at night? Is it an emergency at the company?"

"CEO Qin…" As the voice on the phone continued, Qin Yinan's face turned darker and darker. "I understand. I'll go to the company now."

After he hung up, Qin Yinan yanked the door open. Ignoring Cheng Qingchong, he dashed back into his bedroom and changed into his formal clothes. He soon remerged from the bedroom, grabbed his car key, and dashed out.

It was not until the front door slammed shut that Cheng Qingchong slowly blinked into consciousness. Who called Qin Yinan so late at night? And why did he leave in such a hurry? What happened?

Cheng Qingchong frowned and stood up unconsciously from the sofa. She walked to the windows and after a while, she saw Qin Yinan's car leave the apartment and rush toward the city.

…

Qin Yinan didn't return home for the whole morning. Later that night, Cheng Qingchong gave him a call. It was his secretary who answered, telling her CEO Qin was incredibly busy.

After Mrs. Cheng went to sleep at 10:30 pm, Cheng Qingchong was standing in the living room alone.

Without Qin Yinan, Cheng Qingchong figured she could use the main bedroom without worry. After taking a shower, she lay down in her bed and soon fell asleep.

After some time, Cheng Qingchong felt like someone had wandered into the room. She flitted her eyes open and saw Qin Yinan standing beside the bed in the middle of removing his necktie.
