Chapter 458 - You can’t sleep without me

The footsteps outside drew nearer.

And when it arrived outside the door, to the surprise of the two in the office, the person pushed the door directly without even knocking.

Standing in front of the door, the people at the door swept his eyes towards the room.

It was quiet, and Luo Yibei was lazily leaning on the sofa, reading a document.

Fang Chixia was bending over, tidying up the coffee table on his side, wiping the table top, before inserting a handful of fresh hyacinths into the vase.

The two were doing their own thing, not interfering with each other, not even exchanging glances, as if they were strangers.

Seeing him at the door, Luo Yibei seemed surprised. The document in his hand was put away and he greeted him as if nothing had happened, “Why are you here so early?”

“There’s nothing to do at home, so I just stopped by.” Luo Enqi’s gaze swept over the two of them and explained lightly.

Fang Chixia stopped what she was doing and greeted him, “Good morning, grandfather!”

“Morning,” Luo Enqi replied curtly, staring at her quietly.

“Would you like some morning tea? I’ll prepare it for you!” Fang Chixia composed herself and responded with ease.

“Thanks, no drinks, continue what you’re doing!” Luo Enqi shook his head and waved a hand at her, indicating that she didn’t need to worry about him.

Fang Chixia turned her head sideways and went back to tidying the room, arranging the flowers, sorting out the papers and such.

After sorting things out, she looked at him still standing in the doorway over her shoulder and saw him staring at her motionlessly, and secretly tried to figure out the purpose of his visit.

Why did it feel like he was suspicious of something?

Luo Enqi had made a special trip over, but didn’t come in, standing at the door for a while before leaving again.

Listening to the sound of footsteps drifting away outside the office, Fang Chixia turned to Luo Yibei.

Luo Yibei was also reflecting on the purpose of Luo Enqi coming over.

The people of the Luo family more or less knew that he had a woman outside. Being so shrewd, Luo Enqi could have naturally guessed it, but none of them had bothered before.

So what was this now?

Curiosity over confirmation or intervention?

Luo Yibei couldn’t figure it out either, so he thought about it for a while, didn’t think it through, and simply pushed the matter behind his mind.

“By the way, I have to travel once in the next few days, would you like to accompany me?” Raising his head and looking towards Fang Chixia, he asked nonchalantly.

“No.” Fang Chixia refused without even turning around.

The expression on Luo Yibei’s face froze on the spot.

He hadn’t thought that Fang Chixia would refuse. With their current situation, he thought that it was impossible for her to refuse as well.

She didn’t even hesitate and she just flat out refused!

It was a little bit of a blow to Luo Yibei.

“Why?” His face heavy, he asked indifferently.

“I have to go to class!” Fang Chixia continued to organize her things.

“I don’t usually see you going to school much.” Luo Yibei’s voice lowered a bit, as if he was confused.

“It’s because I don’t usually go, so I should go even more now!” Fang Chixia reasoned fully.

“Are you really not going?” Luo Yibei was very unhappy.

“I won’t.” Fang Chixia turned her sideways and returned placatingly, “I’ll pick you up when you come back.”

“Won’t you lose sleep without me?” Luo Yibei tried to continue bewitching her.

Fang Chixia was thinking that with him gone, she would only sleep better!

He was the reason she’s been so sleep deprived lately!

But, she couldn’t say that.
