《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C54. Stay
Advertisement
Gu Yi has been in the living room and doesn’t go back to his room until midnight. Carefully checking the living room, Yu Fei who went to her room early actually doesn’t sleep and relax until hearing that Gu Yi closes the door and goes into his room.
Before falling asleep, in a daze she has a consideration that moving out from Gu Yi’s house tomorrow is a must for it’s not good to live in an unmarried man’s house when the divorce agreement hasn’t been signed, although Ko Chen is determined to divorce her. What’s more, it turns out that going after her is Gu Yi’s purpose for he has shown it for so many times and she has to face the trouble and deceiving herself that they are just friends doesn’t work any more.
Yu Fei and Gu Yi think likewise, but what he ponders is that he will try every means to make Yu Fei stay, because only by this way can he has a part in her heart as fast as possible since accompanying her one or two days cannot be equaled with her attachment to Ko Chen accumulated in three years when Yu Fei has been with him days and nights. Different plans take shapes in the east and west bedrooms.
An interesting play is going on in Ko House, where Ko Chen is tormented with headache and hard to open his eyes when seeing that Yu Fei slips into his room again, especially scantily clad.
“How did you get in?” Forcing himself to control his temper, Ko Chen takes a deep breath and asks her word by word. But his attitude doesn’t influence Yu Yu who is approaching him in a charming manner, readying to stick to Ko Chen. She even pinches her voice, “Chen, please don’t be so fierce.” Then, she tries to attract him by winking as well as squeezing her cleavage.

Unexpectedly, Ko Chen doesn’t even take a look. Grabbing the quilt in the bed, he throws it to Yu Yu to cover her scantily clad body. Stunned by his action, she pops her head out of the quilt discontentedly. When she is about to throw the quilt away, Ko Chen warns her with a cold face, “If you don’t want to be thrown out again, behave yourself.”
She is frozen by his words, rolling her eyes, and she finally decides to stop. Unlike last time when she took the risk herself, this time her mother knows, too, and if she is thrown out in dejection like last time, her lie will be caught. Her flesh creeps when she imagines Wang Feng’s collapse after knowing the truth.
Yu Yu grasps the quilt with all her thoughts shown on her heavily powdered face. Lookingat the woman in front, he sometimes feels strange that why such a stupid woman has the confidence to frame others.
“Chen,” Scared by his stare without a word, she can’t help asking him, “Do you mean that I can stay here tonight?” Although she asks carefully, her excitement is palpable, because staying on the master bedroom of Ko House means her status is confirmed in this house.
Pointing at the sofa, without any tenderness he says in a cold voice, “You can stay, but you can only sleep there.” Seeing it is a sofa when following his pointing, she forces an affected sweet smile immediately after a flash of unwillingness and annoyance on her face.
Although it seems that Ko Chen doesn’t look at her, all her changes of expression have been noticed by him secretly. As if knowing nothing, he repeats with an air of non-negotiation, “Sleep on the sofa, or get out of here.” She grinds her teeth and says “OK” with an unchanged smile, getting up from the floor, she lies down on the sofa with the quilt.

Ko Chen asks Uncle Zhang to find someone to change all the bedclothes, for thinking Yu Yu was once there, he has no willingness of sleeping on it. Although her face cannot be seen as she lies facing the sofa, servants who come in and out know it is Yu Yu when seeing her shadow.
Although Yu Yu stays in the master room, sleeping on the sofa embarrasses her, and she buries her head in the quilt like an ostrich avoiding the reality. After the bedclothes are changed, there stays only Uncle Zhang who later leaves with a few casual words, not referring to Ko Chen’s illness or the company since Yu Yu is here.
With lights off, the room sinks into darkness which takes Yu Fei a few seconds to adapt herself to with her eyes open. Patterns on the sofa are identified in the moonlight. There comes a special faint scent of Ko Chen from the quilt, and smelling of it, Yu Yu who thought she would stay awake on the sofa falls asleep faster than usual.
Hearing a faint steady breath and noticing that she doesn’t move in the last half an hour, he is sure that she falls asleep. Sitting up from the bed, Ko Chen checks the message that “CAT” sent, “SENT.” Their conversations are always concise for two reasons. One is the fear that others would find, and the other is that their personalities are alike, that is, acts rather than words.
Things are going as Ko Chen plans. A huge intangible trap has been carefully dug for Gu Yi, and as long as he jumps, everything is all right. As night progresses, the busy city quiets down. All the noise stops, while the quiet becomes dominant. Intrigues and schemes pop out, leaping from one dark corner to another.
Ko Chen is leafing over Yu Fei’s photos before going to sleep, which has been his habit after she leaves. Each of her smile is engraved in his mind, as if by doing so Yu Fei would be always with him. His yearning for her occupies the whole night as if being installed wings. Whether he closes or opens his eyes, Yu Fei occurs to his mind. He has to admit that she has been in his life.
