Chapter 2581: His Exhaustion

“What are you doing?”

“I—”

Hua Jin was caught off guard by her return and stood in awkward stun. “I-I’m dancing.”

“Do you dance at the drop of a hat?”

The man felt even more embarra.s.sed, but he refused to admit it. “Why not? I suddenly have the urge to dance.”

Left speechless, the woman cleared her throat with a few bouts of dry cough and said, “Excuse me; I need to get my bag.”

He let her pa.s.s awkwardly.

She took her bag and walked out again.

This time around, he learned to be smart. After checking that she had walked to the stairs and entered the elevator, he closed the door. His hand then involuntarily covered his lips as he could not stop himself from smiling.

He finally had a home!

…

When Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ reached home, Mu Yazhe was still in the study. She knocked on the door and walked in, where she saw her man, still in his white s.h.i.+rt, sitting in front of the computer. At the moment, he was looking incredibly serious; his pair of nicely shaped eyebrows was tightly wrinkled the whole time, without showing any sign of relaxing.

Is he facing a problematic issue now?

That was what she guessed.

Most of the time when she saw him at work, he would always have a very serious look on his face. However, it was rare to see him looking so serious like tonight, where incomparably stiff creases were running across his face. He must have encountered a particularly difficult case, or else he would not look so terrible.

Fatigue could be seen on his face even while he looked stern.

When she got home, her younger son told her that the man had shut himself in his study, working for hours on end, and did not even bother with dinner.

How could he be so busy?

She slowly walked over and gingerly placed her hand on his shoulder, yet he remained unresponsive, seemingly unaware of her presence. He was staring expressionlessly at the reports on the screen, his brain was actively computing formulas and mining the data.

She was worried that he would neglect his health and trigger a gastric problem when he was this focused on work. “Hubby, I’m back…”

Only by her careful whisper did the man become aware of her presence. He looked up and, upon seeing her, reached his palm to cover her hand on his shoulder while he asked in a somewhat exhausted voice, “Why are you so late?”

“Well, it’s because…”

“Hm?”

The actress also did not intend to hide the truth from him. “Hua Jin was injured.”

“Injured?” He knitted his brows in puzzlement. “How did he get injured for no reason?”

She pondered for a long time before revealing the earlier incident. “It’s because of Gao Nan.”

“Gao Nan?”

The man’s blank look indicated that he no longer had recollection of that name.

“Have you forgotten? He’s Xiao Xue’s boyfriend.”

“Is Xiao Xue that bestie of yours?”

“Yes.”

c.o.c.king an eyebrow, he seemed to find this matter odd. “What’s going on?”

She was a bit torn about letting him on this matter. In fact, while on the way back, she could barely hold back the urge to tell him about this matter, including Gao Nan humiliating and insulting her; she was so angry!

However, once she reached home and saw his tired face with bloodshot eyes, she knew that the man must be extremely exhausted. He was probably feeling troubled over problems at work.

Suddenly, she felt her heart aching.

This man had always managed to mask his negative emotions very well.

He was a man who did things in his own way. Proud and aloof, he was unbeatable at his game. To him, he had to be at the pinnacle as her man; he would hold up the sky for her and protect her within his strong fortress. Regardless of any danger and difficulties, he would never bring it up to her.
