Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Irritate Him
At this moment, Yang Chen seemed deeply asleep, breathing evenly, with the blanket simply covering his lower abdomen, his body unmoving.
Mona extended her fair hand and waved it in front of Yang Chen\'s closed eyes a few times. Seeing no reaction from him, she pursed her lips and smiled, playfully mouthing the words "sleeping pig."
Then, Mona squatted down, hugging her knees, her eyes level with Yang Chen\'s head resting on the couch.
In the dimness, Mona looked at him as if appreciating a piece of art. With her head tilted, her bright eyes shone like jewels, half-open as she examined Yang Chen. His unadorned messy hair, thick dark eyebrows, slightly long eyelashes, straight nose, and well-defined lips.
After knowing him for so long, this was the first time she had seen him up close like this. Upon closer inspection, he wasn\'t bad-looking at all. He was usually playful and teased her, a bit mischievous.
Mona remembered the first time she met Yang Chen, during that interview. She appeared calm as usual, but she was inwardly intimidated by this man whose foreign language skills were terrifying. She couldn\'t understand why such a carefree man possessed such linguistic prowess.
Later on, it seemed like they clashed. She had never met a subordinate so disobedient, so disrespectful to their superiors, yet he managed to avoid being fired. She tried to take him to a shady company to collect debts, but he actually managed to recover the money! He outsmarted her again.
She had planned to continue scheming against him, but then it turned out he was her best friend\'s husband, the CEO. At that time, besides being angry, she felt a twinge of jealousy. She couldn\'t quite understand herself.
Things became more and more bizarre afterward. She was kidnapped with Ruoxi, and this man came alone to confront her greedy stepfather and resolved her nearly decade-long grievances effortlessly.
And then, most recently, she was kidnapped and used as a hostage by those villains.
Wasn\'t this guy just a seller of lamb skewers before? What was there to desire about a guy who sold lamb skewers?
Mona couldn\'t understand it. But the more she couldn\'t understand, the more this mysterious man seemed like a black hole, absorbing all her attention, making her unable to help but think of him whenever she was idle.
Unforgettable scenes flashed through Mona\'s mind, and her expressions became varied, sometimes melancholic, sometimes joyful, sometimes pensive, sometimes curious.
Gradually, Mona\'s gaze at Yang Chen became deeper and stickier, somewhat unable to shift away. A heart that had been indifferent for many years began to beat with erratic pulses, making Mona\'s breath involuntarily quicken.
A bold thought suddenly came to her: she wanted to kiss him.
Just one kiss, on his cheek, eyes closed, without looking, just a touch and then leave. He won\'t wake up from that, right? Even if he does wake up, so what? I\'ll kiss him, but it\'s not like I\'ll lose anything. Will I get pregnant from a kiss? And even if I did, he won\'t be the one giving birth!
Mona pursed her plump lips, her mind in chaos, realizing that this thought was wrong, but she couldn\'t control the suppressed emotions at the moment.
Just one, just a few.
Continuously persuading herself, Mona slowly closed her eyes, puckering her rosy lips. Her innocent kissing stance was like that of a teenage girl in her adolescence, her face flushed as she leaned closer to Yang Chen.
But because she had been squatting for so long, her feet were already numb. She hadn\'t leaned forward much when she felt her feet couldn\'t support her anymore.
There was no other way, Mona had to let go of her knees with her hands, groping for the couch to give herself a more comfortable position to continue kissing.
She couldn\'t care much anymore. The desire to kiss him made this emotionally mature woman, usually restrained, unable to maintain her composure. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss a man, and it had to be a comfortable and complete memory, even if the other person was asleep!
...
In the darkness, Yang Chen, who had been pretending to sleep, finally couldn\'t pretend any longer. Awkwardly, he opened his eyes and smiled, sitting up from the couch.
In fact, Yang Chen\'s sleeping habits developed over the years meant he never truly entered deep sleep. So, when Mona stepped out of the bedroom, Yang Chen had already woken up, he just didn\'t reveal it.
Yang Chen wasn\'t emotionally clueless; even the most obtuse person could sense that this woman had feelings for him, although he was surprised at how she could develop such feelings for him!
Waking up meant telling Mona that he had been pretending to sleep all along!
Mona sat on the floor, biting her cherry lips, her eyes slightly moist, seeming aggrieved, seeming angry.
"You\'ve been awake from the beginning, haven\'t you?" Mona asked.
Yang Chen nodded silently.
"So, you knew all along what I was doing, you\'ve been watching me make a fool of myself, haven\'t you?"
"I wasn\'t watching you make a fool of yourself."
"Shut up!" Mona smiled bitterly, tears finally falling, shining translucently in the darkness. "You don\'t need to comfort me. I\'m not some fragile little girl. It\'s true, I\'m that shameless woman who couldn\'t resist wanting to kiss you, to kiss my best friend\'s husband, and you saw it all. But don\'t worry, now that you tell me how stupid that decision was, even if I were blind, I shouldn\'t think you\'re a man worth kissing! I was wrong this time. After tonight, I won\'t have such ridiculous thoughts again. Yang Chen, you\'d better not mess with me from now on!"
With that, Mona immediately stood up from the ground, glaring at Yang Chen with determination, and quickly ran back to the bedroom.
Yang Chen sat stunned on the couch, bitterly smiling. He hadn\'t expected Mona to react so strongly. In hindsight, it would have been better to admit he was awake from the beginning, then this huge misunderstanding wouldn\'t have happened! Now, he didn\'t know how to face her when they met at the company in the future. Glancing at the closed bedroom door, Yang Chen could imagine how cloudy Mona\'s mood must be right now. He felt a twinge of guilt, but he also knew that no amount of comforting or explaining would work. So, he lay back down, resolved to sleep through the night and deal with it later.
The next morning, when Mona emerged from the bedroom with swollen eyes, Yang Chen had already left the house early. On the couch was a neatly folded towel blanket, the only evidence that last night wasn\'t a dream. Mona had hardly slept all night. With a complex expression, she looked at the blanket, ran her fingers through her somewhat messy hair, then walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face as usual.
Back in the bedroom, sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Mona sighed as she looked at her swollen eyes and tired face. She murmured to herself, "Mona, you need to pull yourself together. He\'s just a man. You made a mistake. So what? You\'ll find someone better in the future! Kiss him in front of his face! Drive him crazy!"
With that, Mona nodded at her reflection in the mirror and began skillfully applying makeup to herself.
After about fifteen minutes, Mona put down her lipstick, having applied only light makeup. The woman in the mirror once again became radiant and charming, even the puffiness around her eyes seemed less noticeable.
Satisfied, Mona clapped her hands in front of the mirror, waved her fists confidently, and said, "Mona, you\'re the best! Go! Go! You can do it."
Meanwhile, Yang Chen, who had returned to Longjing Garden early in the morning, had no idea that the strong woman he had left feeling guilty was now once again full of energy.
As Yang Chen opened the villa gate and walked into the living room, he found Lin Ruoxi sitting there having breakfast.
Suddenly, Yang Chen remembered that he had forgotten to call home after his antics last night, leaving him out all night. Feeling uneasy, he met two icy glares, making him shiver. He had spent the whole night with his wife\'s best friend and almost crossed a line. Feeling guilty, Yang Chen forced an extra "bright" smile and walked towards Lin Ruoxi.
