Chapter 180 [Shi Yi 030] My brother-in-law is treating you to dinner
Shi Wan leaned on his shoulder, her consciousness swaying with the car's movements, and fell asleep within minutes.

She rested her head lightly on his shoulder, swaying a couple of times, and her head seemed about to fall off. Yi Xu gently moved her head up, tilted his head slightly, and pressed his cheek against her temple, while his other hand wrapped around her slender waist.

After the car was parked in the open-air parking lot outside the hotel, Yi Xu took the car keys, said "thank you for your hard work" to the designated driver, and watched him take the electric scooter out of the trunk and leave.

He didn't rush to wake Shi Wan, but the car, which didn't have air conditioning, gradually became stuffy.

Shi Wan was awakened by the heat.

She groggily opened her eyes. "We're here? When did we arrive? Why didn't you wake me?"

Yi Xu touched his nose, "Hmm... I just arrived. I called you, but you weren't awake. You were sleeping like a log, drooling..."

Having guessed that Shi Wan was about to make a move, Yi Xu quickly pushed open the car door and got out, shrugging leisurely, "To be honest, you don't like to hear this, do you understand that honest advice is hard to swallow?"

"Ah."

Shi Wan snorted coldly. Now you want to provoke her?

Row!
She rolled her eyes, grabbed her bag, and turned to walk back to the hotel.

Yi Xu smiled, locked the car, and followed.

The elevator went all the way to the 22nd floor. Shi Wan took out her room card, swiped it to open the door, and went back inside. She turned around and smiled at Yi Xu, saying, "Good night, Second Young Master Yi, sweet dreams."

"What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Shi Wan spread her hands, looking completely innocent. "Or are you saying you want to sleep in my room? What's our relationship?"

"Shi Wan, you..."

"True advice is harsh to the ears."

"..."

So this is what they were waiting for!
A true man can bend and stretch; he readily admitted his mistake, "I was wrong..."

"Weren't you pretty tough just now?"

"Plant? That stuff hasn't been sown yet, has it?"

Shi Wan glared at him, "Stop acting like a hooligan here, get lost..."

"It's fine if you don't let me into your room." Yi Xu nodded, took out his room key, and raised his eyebrows. "I'll be generous and let you in, how about that?"

"Who wants to come in... Ah... What are you doing?!"

Before Shi Wan could finish speaking, Yi Xu suddenly pulled her close, closed her door, swiped his own door open, and half-embraced, half-pushed her into his room.

"You've already admitted your mistake, why are you still angry?" He pinned her against the door, burying his face in her neck.

It was that familiar, faint jasmine scent, along with the aroma of wine and cigarettes.

Yi Xu's eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth slightly, saying in a muffled voice, "Then let me give you a few more bites to calm you down?"

The room was dark, with no lights on. Shi Wan couldn't see anything clearly even when she looked up. She just said softly, "It's hot. Turn on the air conditioner."

Yi Xu smiled and said, "Okay."

I reached out and inserted the room card into the slot, then instinctively touched the button next to the slot, and the air conditioner turned on.

"Not turning on the lights?"

"You like to leave the lights on?" Yi Xu joked. "You have that kind of hobby?"

"Can't you live a day without being sarcastic?"

In the darkness, she heard Yi Xu's low laughter, which was both melodious and sexy.

In such darkness, it appears even more alluring.

Yi Xu lifted her up in his arms, and Shi Wan instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Sensing that he was about to walk to the bed, she quickly said, "Let's take a shower first."

"It's been hot all day, and this sticky feeling is uncomfortable."

Yi Xu nodded, then turned her around in his arms. He bumped into a motion-sensor light, which illuminated a corner of the room. He gestured to the door on the wall, "Lights."

Shi Wan opened the bathroom door and the two went inside.

Soon, the sound of water came from inside, mixed with two indescribable sounds, which lingered and filled the midsummer night.

— Yu Xuan booked the tickets back to Beijing, and Yi Xu paid for them. Originally, it was supposed to be first class for everyone, but Yu Xuan didn't dare let him spend money, so she only booked two first class tickets and the rest were economy class.

The flight departs at 10:00 AM.

Their hotel was a bit far from the airport. Shi Wan hadn't slept well last night and was tossed and turned all night, only falling asleep just as dawn broke. Yi Xu even helped her pack her suitcase in the morning.

She was dragged out of bed by Yi Xu around eight o'clock, and protested, yelling, "Yi Xu, are you even human? I'm exhausted, and you still come!"

Yi Xu couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "Grandma, I swear to God, I just wanted to help you get dressed. If you don't get up soon, you'll miss your flight."

"How about... I have someone change the flight to the afternoon?"

Upon hearing that she needed to catch a flight, she stiffened and sat up immediately, but her eyes were still closed. "What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock."

"Oh, I haven't packed my things yet..."

"I've put it away for you."

Yi Xu helped her put on the white T-shirt. "Do you need my help with your pants?"

Shi Wan forced her eyes open and snatched the jeans from his hand. "No need!"

As she put it on, she cursed, "I don't know which bastard is so inhuman, he kept going all night, even though everyone said they had to catch a flight this morning."

"Don't worry, it's still in time."

"I'm in time, I'm so sleepy!"

"I'll sleep in the car and on the plane later."

Yi Xu smiled, pushed her back with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other, leading her towards the bathroom, "Hurry up and wash up."

After brushing my teeth and washing my face with my eyes closed, I was too lazy to put on makeup. I went back to my room to check if I had left anything behind, and just then I received a call from Yu Xuan, asking when she was coming down.

"immediately."

Yi Xu handed her a paper bag. "Breakfast. Eat if you're hungry."

After saying that, he took the two suitcases from her hands.

He came empty-handed, and he left empty-handed as well, with only two sets of clothes, which he had packed into her suitcase that morning.

Shi Wan, of course, was unaware of this.

After getting into the car, Shi Wan sat in the back seat, put on an eye mask, and tilted her head back to catch up on some sleep.

Yi Xu sat down next to her and forcibly turned her head so that she could rest her head on his shoulder.

The people in the car noticed this and very consciously and tacitly looked away.

They had a lot of luggage, and after arriving at the airport forty minutes later, Yu Xuan hurriedly led the group to check in their luggage, while Yi Xu completely ignored everything, leading the listless and unmotivated Shi Wan into the VIP channel.

She didn't even glance at the breakfast Yi Xu had prepared for her. Before going through security, Yi Xu touched it to check its temperature and found it was cold, so she threw it into the trash can without hesitation.

Shi Wan didn't feel hungry; all she wanted to do was sleep.

She's been so busy and tired lately that she's been severely sleep-deprived. After all that commotion last night, she even had murderous thoughts.

I had been in the lounge for less than ten minutes when the boarding announcement came on.

Yi Xu then led her onto the plane.

Just like when she was in the car, Shi Wan put on an eye mask and started to catch up on sleep as soon as she got in.

From waiting for the plane to take off to landing, it took about two and a half hours, and we arrived in Beijing at exactly noon.

Shi Wan got a decent amount of sleep, but she still felt like she hadn't slept well. Yi Xu still led her off the plane, asking, "You didn't eat this morning, are you hungry?"

Shi Wan nodded sleepily, "I'm hungry."

"Shall we eat first before going back?"

"Ah."

Yi Xu booked a restaurant on her phone and told her team, "I'll treat you to dinner."

Yu Xuan and the others subconsciously looked at Shi Wan. Before Shi Wan could speak, Yi Xu sighed, "Why are you looking at her? Your brother-in-law is treating you to dinner, it's not like he's spending your sister's money."
