Chapter 1075: My Precious Wife (1)

Yu City.

It snowed the previous night and the temperature had plummeted. The entire city was covered in white.

An Yibei pulled over outside Ai Bao’s place, and the latter only rushed out about ten minutes later, still looking half-asleep.

“Morning.”

“Morning, Mr. An.” Ai Bao got into the car, yawning. “Can I take a nap here?”

An Yibei adjusted his glasses. “Go ahead.”

Happily wrapping her arms around the cushion on the passenger’s seat that had been specially prepared for her, Ai Bao closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

They arrived at the law firm shortly afterward.

An Yibei was going to wake her up, but seeing that she was fast asleep, he checked his watch for the time.

It was still quite early.

He arched an eyebrow. Well, he supposed she could sleep for a bit longer.

He picked up a file and studied it. It was a tough case and not something he could work on remotely from Yu City. He would probably have to go back to Ye City this week.

He had never thought much about going back and forth between the two cities. However, this time, he resisted the idea of leaving, despite how impassive he had always been.

An Yibei was the most sensible man out there. A simple analysis and he realized right away that it was all… because of her.

Ai Bao smacked her lips and her eyelashes fluttered. She wore no makeup on that fair little face, and her delicate features brought to mind a traditional Chinese painting of a misty riverside town, clean and refreshing.

They had been going out for two weeks, during which time they had had dinner and gone to the cinema together. An Yibei even took the time to take her on a short trip, but he still didn’t have much confidence in Ai Bao’s feelings for him.

He knew Ai Bao had feelings for him, but he wasn’t sure that Ai Bao loved him.

He was lost in his thoughts and only came back to reality when a car in the parking lot honked repeatedly.

Ai Bao was woken up as well.

She rubbed her eyes and accidentally met An Yibei’s brooding gaze, which made her so fidgety that she stammered, “Mr. An, wh- what time is it?”

“Eight fifty.”

Huh?

They usually never arrived at the firm later than eight thirty. What took them so long today? Was there a traffic jam?

“Let’s go, then,” An Yibei said lightly. Ai Bao nodded and got out, but kept her distance from him.

“Mr. An, please go up first… I’ll wait a moment here.” Ai Bao smiled awkwardly. She didn’t want the others to see them arriving together.

An Yibei adjusted his glasses. “Why won’t you go up with me?”

Thinking that he was feigning ignorance, Ai Bao said gingerly, “We better not let the others see us together…”

The look in his eyes turned stern behind his glasses. “You want to keep your distance from me? Do I embarrass you?”

Ai Bao said in a flurry, “No… that’s not what I meant!”

“Go in with me, then.” An Yibei picked up her hand casually. “We’ll do this every day from now on.”

His deep, clear voice filled her ears like cool, flowing water.

An Yibei led her into the elevator, still holding her hand, which shocked everyone in the law firm who were on their way in.

Xiaomi, the receptionist, immediately spread the gossip throughout the entire firm!

“Oh god, is Mr. An going out with Ai Bao now?”

“Office romance? How sassy!”

“Tch, I bet Ai Bao hit on Mr. An first. He wouldn’t even look at her otherwise!”

“…”

On the top floor.

Ai Bao was going to sit down at her table when An Yibei’s cold voice rang out behind her. “In my office, now.”

Ai Bao was confused. “Huh?”

“How else am I supposed to feed you?” He arched an eyebrow. Ai Bao took his words the wrong way and blushed!
