Daddy is the Big Boss - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 – No Sleep

Fu Lihua was still standing by the pond in a daze when a servant came up to her with a change of clothes stating that it was from the Young Miss Chen. When the maid left, Fu Lihua looked at the dress and blushed. 

She couldn’t help but think that Chen Daiyu was … kinda handsome.

It was only when she sneezed from the cold that she went to ask a maid where she could get changed.

Chen Daiyu woke up in the middle of the night confused as to how she had gotten to her bedroom, but she slowly remembered the car trip and her face exploded in shame. 

She couldn’t believe she had become so brazen around her dad. Without her realizing, she had slowly gotten used to having someone care for her. 

She looked down at her hands that were previously stained with blood. It was as if she could still feel the sticky sensation, the metallic scent, and the thickened fear in the atmosphere she had grown used to before. 

It felt great to be protected…

Thinking about everything she had seen during the party, she decided to spend the night in the secret basement behind the fake hill.

The next morning, Chen Daiyu was accosted by everyone’s stares.

“Couldn’t sleep?” Chen Feng asked.

Chen Daiyu could only rub her eyes and mumble a yes.

The dark eye bags under her eyes contrasted her normally lively appearance. 

She didn’t expect that a few nights of no sleep would lead to this. 

She had been caught up in learning everything she could about her new world and attempted to slowly find ways to break the Du family, so much so that she forgot to take care of herself. 

“You must’ve woken up in the middle of the night” Shan Yijun frowned, he was far too used to sleepless nights as well. Waking up in the middle of the night then being unable to sleep until the sunrise.

Chen Daiyu dazedly walked to her towards her usual seat besides Chen Feng, but this time, she nudged Chen Feng.

When he looked at her, she just raised her arms. He raised his eyebrows in amusement and  understood. He adjusted his chair and sat her on his lap.

Old Man Shan was filled with jealousy, he was surrounded by two troublesome men, an useless nephew, and a grandson that couldn’t even act cute. Yet Chen Feng got such a cute daughter.

Shan Yijun also took a blow. Chen Daiyu normally sat between him and Chen Feng, but now he couldn’t even reach and put food on her plate. 

When the food was served, Chen Feng would feed Chen Daiyu and then eat. They used the same chopsticks no problem. 

Chen Daiyu wasn’t shy anymore and continued to act spoiled while Chen Feng happily spoiled her.

Before Chen Feng left for work, he looked at Chen Daiyu, “you can sleep all afternoon, your classes for today are cancelled.” He patted her head and left.

Chen Daiyu followed his instructions and was rejuvenated by dinner.

Meanwhile, a certain duo was left anxious. 

“Mom, what should we do?!?” Liu Mei anxiously gripped the hem of her mother’s expensive dress, her hands were immediately swatted.

“Didn’t I tell you to not act too rashly?!? Why would you push both Fu Lihua and Chen Daiyu in the pond?!?”

“I-“

Liu Teng gripped her purse tightly and nimbled on her nails. Earlier she had gone to the Shan Estate and was informed her classes were cancelled for the day. 

She had known her daughter would do something during the party, but didn’t expect an immediate response from the Chens, the servant didn’t even tell her why her classes were cancelled. 

Especially when her daughter told her that she pushed those 2 girls in the pond. Fu Lihua’s family’s roots in the capital city might not be that deep but their financial resources kept their family out of any trouble.

Either of them could easily know her family down a peg or two, either politically or socially. 

She hated to think that those insignificant families could do so much to hers. She needed to remind her daughter to be more careful when causing trouble.
