I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 524: Chapter 350: Pretending to Sleep Chapter 524: Chapter 350: Pretending to Sleep When his fingers had pruned from soaking too long, Shen Yuan finally stood up from the bathtub and turned the shower back on, letting the running water cleanse him once again.

The Bulgari Hotel’s shower gel and shampoo were their own brand, carrying the Bulgari trademark, and the quality was much better than what typical hotels offered.

After washing himself clean and drying his body, Shen Yuan put on the hotel’s bathrobe and then walked into the washroom.

The Bulgari used smart toilets, which automatically lifted their lids as soon as one opened the glass door, and inside there was a sunken ventilation system, so there was no odor at all while using the facility.

This design wasn’t bad, because most exhaust systems were installed at the top of walls or ceilings, so the smell would pass by your nose before it could be vented out.

After using the toilet, Shen Yuan felt incredibly refreshed in both body and mind.

After blow-drying his damp hair, he collapsed onto the 2.2-meter-wide bed.

Today’s itinerary was rather tiring, as most of the day was spent in the car and on the plane.

After getting off the plane, he went to a dinner with Mr.

Huang and Sha Yongshan, and with drinking, it was 4 p.m.

before he knew it.

He had only managed to sleep for an hour at the hotel before being woken up by Zhou Peiwei.

Before sleeping, Shen Yuan checked his WeChat messages, which contained greetings from various NPCs, mostly asking if Shen Yuan had landed safely and if everything went well.

Shen Yuan replied to each one, confirming his smooth arrival and saying goodnight to each.

Most of them obediently went to bed after a goodnight message, but mischievous ones like Liew Menglu and Qiao Lei still wanted to make video calls.

Shen Yuan said he was tired and wouldn’t video chat today, thinking they would give up, but instead, they recorded several videos of themselves and sent them over.

These cheeky girls, the videos they sent were coquettish in nature, with Qiao Lei even more brazen, not filming herself but sneaking into Long Jinghan’s room to lift the blankets and film a video.

Long Jinghan slept in just a little camisole and shorts, and as the camisole was without any undergarments, sticky patches of snowy white appeared directly on Shen Yuan’s phone screen.

Long Jinghan thought something had happened and shyly pulled the blanket up to cover herself.

Qiao Lei, “How about now, still sleepy?”

Shen Yuan smiled; their antics indeed perked him up.

But what’s the point of a video call, to have an ‘L’ chat?

Shen Yuan, “A video call, eh?

The kind without clothes?”

Qiao Lei, “Pfft!

Keep dreaming!”

Shen Yuan, “Ask Jinghan for me.”

Qiao Lei, “Sister Jinghan wouldn’t either, so don’t get your hopes up.”

Shen Yuan was just joking and had no real intention of having an ‘L’ chat with them, but unexpectedly, Long Jinghan sent a message.

Long Jinghan, “Um, Shen Yuan, if it’s convenient for you, I could try.”

Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment; he could almost guess the timid look Long Jinghan had when sending that message.

Long Jinghan had always been submissive, and since the last time he helped her solve her family troubles in one go, even if Shen Yuan asked her to pluck stars from the sky, she would try.

Shen Yuan, “Never mind, just kidding.

Why are you sleeping so early today?”

Long Jinghan, “It’s not early, it’s almost 12 a.m.

When are you coming back?”

Shen Yuan, “Why, I just left today and you’re already missing me?”

Long Jinghan, “Eh, actually it’s Nanda that wants to confirm when you’ll come for research, so if you set a date for your return, I can schedule a time with them.”

Shen Yuan, “You’re really lacking romance [pouty emoji].”

Feeling a bit embarrassed after seeing the message, Long Jinghan blushed, pondering how to reply, when Shen Yuan sent another message.

Shen Yuan, “I got it, I’ll let you know before I come back.

You should sleep early.

If Qiao Lei bothers you again, just lock the door.”

Long Jinghan, “Okay.”

…

Miles away in Star City, Qiao Lei was peeking at the screen, seeing the two’s heated chat, and couldn’t help but complain, “How come senior sends you so many messages, he doesn’t reply to mine, and I even sent him a bonus just now.”

Long Jinghan had only chatted briefly and comforted Qiao Lei by ruffling her hair, “Shen Yuan is tired and needs to sleep.

We can talk tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Lei pursed her lips resignedly and then looked at Long Jinghan, “Sister, did I disturb your sleep just now?

You’re not mad, are you?”

“Of course not, I’ll fall asleep as soon as I lie down.”

With a faint smile, Long Jinghan said, “Leilei, why don’t you sleep with me tonight?”

“Sure, I’ll nestle against you, and you’ll cuddle me, and we’ll have a beautiful sleep.”

Qiao Lei immediately lay down, clasped Long Jinghan’s hand like an unmarried girl, and even rested her head on her shoulder.

During the summer, they practiced yoga together every day and slept together at night, inseparable as shadows; Qiao Lei missed those times.

“Sister, let’s turn off the lights then,” said Qiao Lei as she closed her eyes.

“Wait a second,” replied Long Jinghan, taking a moment with her phone.

“Wait for what?” Qiao Lei asked, but when she opened her eyes after a long wait, she was surprised to see Long Jinghan holding the phone towards her.

“Ah, sister, you’re taking a sneak photo of me!” Qiao Lei quickly covered her chest.

Like Long Jinghan, she wore a tank top and shorts at home, without undergarments underneath, and it was bouncy when she moved, but it was fine since there was no one else at home.

But she didn’t expect Long Jinghan to deceive her into staying just to take a sneak photo.

“Leilei, don’t cover it, send a little bonus to Shen Yuan,” said Long Jinghan, wielding the phone in one hand while tickling her with the other.
