The message was from Fan Ze and contained only one sentence, "Miss Su, you must not be asleep yet, right?"
When Sophie saw this news, she felt nervous for some reason and asked softly, "Zhao Dong, are you... asleep?"
Zhao Dong said hurriedly: "No, what's wrong?"
Sophie opened her mouth. After the reminders from Yu Xiaoman and Liang Xiao, as well as Oriole's instructions, she was already a little more wary of this man.
But when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them in the end.
Making an excuse, Sophie stood up in a hurry and said: "Nothing, I... I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhao Dong stood up first and said, "I'll turn on the light for you."
Sophie felt a little embarrassed, "No, I'm not a child."
He walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and looked at the message on his phone. After hesitating for a moment, he finally typed a line of text in reply, "Not yet. Professor Fan, are you okay?"
Fan Ze's message was quickly replied, "I forgot to tell your husband this morning. Here is an audio message I recorded. If you can't fall asleep, it should help you sleep."
"Okay, go to bed early and tell me if anything happens."
"I may go to Tianzhou to attend a related meeting in a few days, so I can give you a follow-up visit."
Immediately afterwards, a file in audio format was sent, and then there was no sound.
Sophie hesitated for a moment and clicked on the audio. In the audio, there were insects chirping, birds chirping, wind whistling, and leaves rustling.
After listening to it for only a short moment, I immediately felt refreshed, de-stressed and relaxed.
Sophie felt much better, walked out of the bathroom, and found the headphones from the drawer.
Zhao Dong was surprised when he saw this and asked, "You want to listen to music so late? How about... I go out for a walk with you?"
Sophie shook her head and declined Zhao Dong's kindness, "You have to go to work tomorrow, so you don't have to spend time with me. I'll adjust it and you should be fine."
I lay on the bed again, covered myself with the quilt, put on my headphones, and turned on the music on my phone again.
I don't know whether I was really sleepy or the music had an effect. As I closed my eyes, an indescribable feeling surrounded my mind.
Listening and listening, I soon fell asleep.
Zhao Dong didn't dare to fall asleep, so he stayed quietly on one side until he heard the even breathing coming from Sophie's mouth, and then he gradually let go of his worries.
Turning around to look, I saw Sophie sleeping peacefully, breathing evenly, and even her frown slowly relaxed.
She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but the corners of Sophie's mouth slowly raised up, revealing a peaceful smile.
Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for her, and then looked at the headphones in Sophie's ears.
Originally, he wanted to help her take it off, but he hesitated for fear of disturbing Sophie's sleep, so he made no move in the end.
A night of complicated thoughts until dawn the next day.
Sophie stretched and then opened her eyes.
Zhao Dong's voice came, "Are you awake?"
While talking, Zhao Dong helped Sophie up.
It could be seen that Sophie was recovering very well, and she asked in surprise: "You just sat here all night?"
Zhao Dong shook his head, "I just woke up, how did you sleep last night?"
Sophie nodded and stretched again, "I had a dreamless night and slept very easily."
She didn't lie to Zhao Dong. She didn't know if it was because she was tired last night, or if the stress-relieving music had an effect.
In short, the nightmare I was worried about did not appear, and I slept until dawn.
If Zhao Dong hadn't been sitting next to the bed, she would have wanted to sleep a little longer.
After looking at the sky, Sophie hurriedly got out of bed. On the one hand, it was late, and on the other hand, it was not her own home. Mother Zhao and sister-in-law were both at home, so it was not suitable for her to sleep in alone.
Even if Zhao's mother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, the neighbors would inevitably criticize them if they knew about it.
As a result, before Sophie could get up, Zhao Dong suddenly held her down.
Sophie was surprised, "Zhao Dong?"
Zhao Dong explained, "Mom said that you won't be allowed to get up early during this period, and you won't have to do housework. I'll keep it in the refrigerator for you for breakfast."
"Sister-in-law also said hello, asking you to rest and not worry about anything else."
Sophie's heart felt warm and her eyes were slightly moist, "Zhao Dong, you are so kind to me, I..."
Zhao Dong said with a straight face, "What did you say? You are a member of the family, shouldn't I treat you well?"
Sophie took a deep breath and said, "Then I have to get up too. Do you really think of me as a patient?"
"I have something else to do today, so I have to go out early."
Sophie got out of bed and said, "You don't need to follow me. I'll go to Sister Xiaoman."
"Zhao Dong, I thought about it last night when I couldn't sleep. I don't want to get involved in the Su family's business for the time being."
"I can't stay alone at home, so I want to agree to what Sister Xiaoman said."
"You won't regret letting me go out to work, will you?"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "As long as what you want to do, as long as it is helpful to you, I will support you."
"But you have to promise me that you won't tire yourself out, otherwise I won't agree!"
Had breakfast.
Zhao Dong sent Sophie to Yu Xiaoman's store, gave him careful instructions before driving away.
Sophie stood there until she watched Zhao Dongyuan leave, her emotions a little complicated for a moment.
The people in the Zhao family were so good to her that Sophie hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should continue to dig deeper into Zhao Jianjun's affairs.
If everything really develops in a direction she doesn't want, how will she face Zhao Dong and how will she deal with herself in the Zhao family?
Just as he was thinking wildly, someone secretly pushed him behind him. Yu Xiaoman joked: "People have already walked away, and you still look at me. It's almost like a stone to watch your husband!"
Sophie looked away, "I didn't look at him."
Yu Xiaoman held her hand and asked in Sophie's ear, "How was yesterday? Is a little goodbye better than a new love?"
Sophie's face turned red, "Sister Xiaoman, what are you talking about..."
Yu Xiaoman joked, "Okay, okay, I know you have a low reputation, but you still hide it between us sisters, that's too much!"
"Tell me, who begged for mercy first last night?"
Sophie changed the subject, "I just called Sister Liang Xiao and she will be at your store in a moment. Let's have a brief meeting."
Yu Xiaoman was surprised, "Didn't you say you would give me a reply within a week? Why did you think about it so quickly?"
"Is your Zhao Dong willing to let you out and show your face? This guy is a jealous man. If he gets into trouble, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to Chi Yu."
Sophie sighed, "There is nothing I can do if I don't want to give up. I have to cheer up. If I continue to be decadent, I will be looked down upon by others!"
Yu Xiaoman heard something strange, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Why, what's the situation? Is it that Meng Jiao?"
"Don't worry, Xiaofei, leave this matter to me. How can our sisters be bullied by a vixen?"
