Chapter 2702: Chapter 2702: Dan Tingye Becoming a Stranger (7)

His long fingers brushed against her cherry lips, the soft touch making one reluctant to let go.

After lingering for a long time, he reluctantly withdrew his hand and stood up from her bedside, stepping away.

-

Meimei had a deep sleep, so deep that she felt as if she couldn’t wake up.

She dreamt, dreaming of many things.

As a child without a father, she was laughed at, every time it was Dan Tingye who first held her in his arms and drove away those who bullied her.

She feared others asking why she didn’t have a father, because every time she couldn’t help but ask her mom, her mom would cry sadly, and she didn’t want her mom to cry, she stopped asking.

When she longed for her dad, she’d hide alone and cry secretly.

Every time, it was Dan Tingye who found her, telling her it didn’t matter not having a dad, because she had Tingye, who would protect her forever.

How long is forever? As a child, she had no concept; she only knew that in her memory, Tingye was like an eternal guardian angel, as long as she felt scared or helpless, silently reciting his name, he’d surely appear.

After having a dad, she became increasingly bold and independent, encountered danger more than once overseas, but as long as she thought of Tingye, she’d become brave.

Because she wanted to stand before him one day, telling him personally that the little girl who worried him had grown up, and could protect herself.

But upon seeing him, she realized that as long as she was by his side, she’d forever be the little princess who never grows up.

Her strength and courage seemed like a defenseless armor in front of him, no need for disguise anymore.

The scene seemed to switch instantly to last night, when he held her tightly in his arms, kissing her lips...

"Ah—"

Meimei suddenly sat up from bed, gasping for breath, clutching the sheets tightly, staring at the empty room before her in shock.

Realizing she was dreaming, her body relaxed immediately, nearly falling back onto the bed.

She glanced at the time; it was already eleven in the morning.

She actually slept until now, luckily Tingye had taken leave for her.

Tingye...

Thinking of Dan Tingye, Meimei’s heart tightened, an indescribable feeling coursing through her body.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong—"

"Ding dong—"

"Ding dong—"

The urgent doorbell sounded like a soul-stirring rush, ringing persistently.

Not many people knew she lived here, who would come looking for her?

She crawled out of bed, ran her hands through her hair casually, and walked to the door, peering through the peephole, and upon seeing the person standing outside, her eyes suddenly tightened, she reached out and opened the door.

"Jiang Nan, why are you here?"

"You’re daring enough to ask why, I only heard at the company today that you were locked in the office last night, and took a leave of absence this morning, you nearly gave me a heart attack."

Jiang Nan walked up to her gracefully, reached out and held her shoulders, "Stand still, let me see if you’re hurt."

"I’m fine, I was locked up for a while, then released, had a sleep, feeling incredibly comfortable, nothing’s wrong anywhere." Meimei hesitated, then quickly replied.

Seeing the weariness in Jiang Nan’s eyes, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Jiang Nan, what’s wrong? You look unwell." He seemed more like the person who was sick.
