Chapter 182 - 182 182 His Exceptional Popularity

?Chapter 182: Chapter 182: His Exceptional Popularity Chapter 182: Chapter 182: His Exceptional Popularity Ye Chuyi followed Sheng Tingyuan home and felt a bit hot, but she didn’t take it too seriously, considering they had mutton soup and meat for dinner, feeling a little heat was normal.

After entering the house, she changed her shoes, drank a cup of honey water prepared by Auntie Wang, and then went upstairs back to her own bedroom.

But as soon as she entered, she was shocked, “Where is my bed?!”

She rushed out of the room, towards the meticulously cleaning Auntie Wang downstairs, and asked, “Auntie Wang, where is the bed from my room?”

Auntie Wang paused her work, “Madam, the bed was broken, so I had the factory take it away. The new bed will take some time to be delivered!”

“But it was all right when I left!”

“Perhaps I broke it accidentally while changing the sheets. It’s all my fault, Madam. Just deduct the cost of the bed from my salary.”

Ye Chuyi was not a fool; she knew perfectly well that Auntie Wang could not have broken the bed just by changing the sheets.

She looked helplessly at Auntie Wang, “It seems like you just don’t want me to sleep in that bed.”

There was no way she would deduct her salary; her mother-in-law, upon hearing about the “good deed” Auntie Wang had done, might even give Auntie Wang a raise. And besides, it was very likely that her mother-in-law had asked her to do this.

Still not giving up, she ran to the other rooms to check, and without exception, all the beds in the guest rooms had also been moved out, even the sofas that could accommodate a person were gone.

Left with no choice, Ye Chuyi went to the master bedroom to wash up.

After she finished bathing and came out, she found that Sheng Tingyuan still hadn’t returned.

Strange, was he taking such a long bath today?

Never mind, she would claim the bed first.

The big red wedding quilt on the bed had been replaced with a warm and beautiful lotus-pink color.

Ye Chuyi lay in bed, under the covers, and couldn’t help thinking if Sheng Tingyuan knew the bedding had been changed to this color. Would he be willing to go to bed and sleep seeing this color?

Hmm, hopefully not, it would be better if he decided to sleep somewhere else so she could enjoy the soft and comfortable big bed alone.

Weird, why was it getting hotter and hotter?

She couldn’t resist stretching her legs out of the blanket, which felt cooler, and then she closed her eyes.

She had no idea how long she had slept when she was rudely awakened by her thirst.

The sense of heat was so intense she almost wanted to take off her flimsy nightgown, but fortunately, she remained rational, knowing she was at Sheng Tingyuan’s villa, and resisted the urge to strip down.

Groping in the dark, she went downstairs to find something to drink.

There used to be a small night light lit downstairs, but surprisingly it wasn’t today; maybe Auntie Wang forgot to turn it on.

In the dimness, Ye Chuyi saw a glass of water on the coffee table in front of the sofa, the glass reflecting a faint luster.

She walked over, and just as she was about to take the glass, she was tripped by a foot.

She cried out softly, instinctively reaching out to brace herself on the ground, but instead of touching the ground, she found herself on a searing hot object.

A muffled grunt sounded in her ear, and then she fell into a firm embrace.

Ye Chuyi was startled, “Sheng Tingyuan, what are you doing here? Why didn’t you turn on the light!”

Sheng Tingyuan’s voice was husky, “I’m afraid my current state isn’t suitable for the lights to be on.”

Ye Chuyi, lying on top of him, felt his unusual heat, and she groped to touch his face, “Why are you so hot; do you have a fever? Do we have fever medicine at home?”

“It’s not a fever, no need for medicine.”

“Ah?”

Ye Chuyi was puzzled, but very quickly, she realized what was happening.

She was still pressing down on him and had already felt a certain abnormality.

The object her hand had pressed on when she was about to fall was probably it.

Ye Chuyi’s face flushed, and wanting to get up to escape the awkwardness, she was held down by Sheng Tingyuan.

This made them even closer, the strange sensation even stronger.

She hit him anxiously, “What are you doing, let go!”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t let go, even as she hit him. After a while, he finally said, “Doesn’t your hand hurt?”

Ye Chuyi, right against him, forced to feel his magnificence, replied through gritted teeth, “Not in the slightest. Does President Sheng have to worry again about me injuring my hands affecting surgery? Rest assured, I can still perform surgery after beating you, maybe I’ll do even better!”
