The day ended quickly.
Tang Li returned to the villa at ten pm as usual. When Butler Zhang, who was waiting there, saw her return, he said to her, “Madam, Master is already back.”
Tang Li was stunned for a moment before remembering that Qi Yihan would be sleeping here tonight. She nodded and continued walking into the villa.
When Tang Li entered the living room, she saw Qi Yihan sitting on the sofa playing computer. She asked in surprise, “Yihan, are you still working?”
Qi Yihan nodded and continued typing without looking at her.
Tang Li did not walk over. She stood there and said, “I’m going up to take a shower. Come up and rest after you’re done.”
With that, she walked upstairs.
Qi Yihan then looked up at the woman who was walking up the stairs. Her expression and tone were too natural, making him feel like she didn’t mind the two of them sleeping in the same room tonight.
For some reason, this bothered him.
Then, he realized that he was no longer in the mood to work.
He closed the laptop and walked upstairs.
There was only one bedroom, a study, and a large balcony upstairs.
Qi Yihan pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom. His clothes were placed on the bed, but his gaze lingered on the one-meter tall bear doll on the bed.
At this moment, his phone rang. He took out his phone and walked to the balcony outside the bedroom.
When Tang Li came out of the bathroom, she saw that the door to the balcony was open. She instinctively craned her neck to look and happened to see Qi Yihan standing on the balcony making a call.
The man was tall and handsome to begin with. Standing in the dark, under the light of the bedroom, he looked even taller and more handsome.
Tang Li walked to the balcony door while drying her hair. She stood there and called out, “Yihan.”
Qi Yihan hung up and turned around. When he saw the woman standing by the door, his eyes flickered.
Tang Li was wearing a conservative pair of silk pajamas. However, because silk was naturally very tight, her figure looked especially curvaceous. Coupled with her beautiful face and disheveled hair, she was pretty and sexy.
Tang Li did not notice his stare. Seeing that Qi Yihan was standing there without moving, she walked up to him and said, “Go and take a shower. I saw that men’s products have been placed in the bathroom.”
The fragrance of her freshly bathed body wafted to his nose. Qi Yihan pursed his lips and looked at her. He asked in a low voice, “Tang Li, you don’t seem to mind sleeping on the same bed as me?”
Tang Li was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, she asked, “Don’t you want to?”
Qi Yihan looked at her with a straight face.
Tang Li had already guessed it. She smiled casually and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll sleep on the floor later.”
Normally, she would’ve woken up to find herself sleeping on the floor anyway.

Hearing that, Qi Yihan didn’t say anything and walked around her towards the bedroom.
Tang Li turned around and looked at his cold back. She stood on the balcony to let her hair dry. When her hair was half-dried, she returned to the bedroom. However, there was no extra blanket in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask Butler Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Butler Zhang said to her, “Madam, Butler Wang came over in the afternoon and took away all the extra blankets here. He said that he wanted to prevent any of you from sleeping on the floor.”

Tang Li was speechless.
Indeed, the older the wiser!
Back in the bedroom, Qi Yihan had already come out of the bathroom. When he saw Tang Li walk in, he looked at her.
Tang Li told him, “I wanted to ask Butler Zhang for a blanket, but he said that there was none.”
When Qi Yihan heard this, he walked to the armchair and sat down. He looked at her and said, “Do you think, as a man, I would watch you sleep on the floor while I sleep on the bed?”
Tang Li was silent for two seconds before saying, “I have experience sleeping on the floor. You don’t have to…”
“That’s it. Go to sleep.” Qi Yihan interrupted her, looking like a domineering executive.
After saying that, he took out his phone to check his emails, obviously refusing to talk to her anymore.
Tang Li looked at him for a while. She thought to herself, “You’re the one who doesn’t sleep on the bed, so don’t blame me.” After lying down, she hugged the doll and pulled the blanket over her. She then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After reading a few emails, Qi Yihan looked up and saw that the woman on the bed had already fallen asleep. He instinctively fixed his eyes at her.
In the gentle night light, women, when they were sleeping, looked particularly sweet and charming.
Qi Yihan was very sure that she was not Tang Li. No matter how much a person changed, their nature and ability would never change. Other than her face, the woman in front of him was different in every aspect.
That must be why he was attracted to her.
However, this woman obviously didn’t like him, so what he wanted to know now was why she was thinking of ways to not divorce him.
…
Qi Yihan had been very sensitive to sound since he was young. As long as there was the slightest sound around, he would immediately wake up, no matter how soundly he slept.
Hence, when a clicking sound came from the room, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
The bear doll that Tang Li was hugging when she slept had already fallen to the ground. Her body was hanging by the bedside. If she moved slightly, she would probably…
Bang!
“…”
Qi Yihan finally understood why she hugged a big bear doll to sleep. She knew she would fall and used it to cushion her fall so that it wouldn’t hurt so much.
Then, he saw Tang Li put up her hands to touch the bedside. Qi Yihan thought she had woken up from the fall.
But much to his surprise, she hugged the doll and got back on the bed with her eyes closed.
“…”
Suddenly, his sleepiness was all gone. He looked at the time and saw that it was 1: 30 am.
Looking at the woman, he realized why she said she had experience sleeping on the floor.

Half an hour later, she turned around on the bed and fell down with the doll again.
Qi Yihan finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked over and shouted, “Tang Li, Tang Li.”
Tang Li was getting impatient. “Stop making so much noise. If you keep making noise, I’ll stuff your mouth.”
“…”
Qi Yihan frowned and raised his voice. “Tang Li, you fell off the bed.”
But there was no response.
Qi Yihan looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she didn’t wake up at all, he couldn’t leave her like that on the floor so he carried her to the bed.
However, Tang Li was used to sleeping with her doll in her arms. Once there was nothing in her arms, she instinctively looked for it. In the end, just as Qi Yihan was about to pull away, she raised her body and wrapped her arms around his neck and her feet around his legs, bringing him to the bed.
Qi Yihan’s body stiffened. He could forcefully break free, but when he turned his head and saw her obediently leaning against his shoulder, he suddenly gave up.
He suddenly wanted to see how she would react tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, Tang Li sleep-talked. “Why has the doll gotten hard? It feels uncomfortable hugging it. I’ll get a new one tomorrow.”
Qi Yihan, who was forced to be a human doll, was speechless.
