Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 179: Bad Sleep, Suspicion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At night, the hospital arranged an accompanying bed for Qiao An.

It was separated from Huo Xiaoran’s bed by a curtain.

Qiao An sat on the bed and took out her phone to start the day’s coding task.

Her phone would make her slightly slower at typing. Without a laptop, Qiao An could only complete the day’s manuscript this way.

The capacitor pen tapped on the phone screen with a frequent empty sound.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the blue light outside the curtain and the endless tapping sound. He couldn’t help but roar, “Chen Sisi, can you stop?”

Then, he rudely pulled open the curtain.

Qiao An stared at him blankly and stammered, “CEO, did I disturb your sleep?”

“What are you doing?” Huo Xiaoran’s gaze landed on her phone screen. He could vaguely see the dense words and widened his eyes in surprise.

“Are you writing a small essay?”

Qiao An didn’t intend to hide it anymore. She confessed, “CEO, actually, I have another job. I’m a contract writer at Hai Yue Chinese Network. I have to submit 6,000 words every day.”

Speaking of the Chinese website under the Hai Yue Corporation, Huo Xiaoran was extremely familiar with it. After all, he was the CEO of the Haiyue Corporation.

As far as he knew, although the Internet writers had signed a contract with the corporation, the corporation did not have much binding power on the author. The number of manuscripts the author submitted every day depended on the author’s mood.

......

Of course, there were supreme gods who were relatively special. Because their online novels were popular and had a high income, the website would give them a high guaranteed fee. However, the gods had to make a promise to submit their manuscripts every day.

There were only a handful of such supreme gods in the Hai Yue Corporation.

Huo Xiaoran never expected that Chen Sisi, who was in front of him, was a famous author supported by the Hai Yue Corporation. She could bring hundreds of millions of dollars to Hai Yue every year.

He looked down on Qiao An’s part-time job. After all, there were 999 lousy authors in a thousand. Huo Xiaoran said domineeringly, “Chen Sisi, the noise of your typing seriously disturbed my rest. Take a day off.”

Qiao An glared at him. She didn’t know where he got the confidence to tell her to cut off the career she was so proud of.

“CEO, I need this part-time job to support my family,” Qiao An said carefully.

“Who are the others in your family?”

“They’re not capable of labor,” Qiao An said, thinking of her elderly father and his three young children.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the delicate Qiao An and suddenly remembered that when Lu Mo tore at her during the day, she had no strength to retaliate, like a helpless little white rabbit.

It was hard to believe that such a weak girl worked two jobs at the same time to support her family.

Huo Xiaoran sighed. “How much can you earn with a book? I’ll compensate you. In the future, work for me. Be serious about being my assistant and don’t find another part-time job.”

Qiao An pouted.

As an assistant, her salary was at most 20,000 a month.

However, her literary skills could bring her a seven-figure income every month.

“CEO, are you really going to compensate me?” Her eyes flickered with intelligence.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the scheme in her eyes.

“Yeah.”

Qiao An jumped out of bed, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a promise. The specific content was the agreement that Huo Xiaoran had ordered her to stop writing and was willing to pay her triple the remuneration.

Then, Qiao An walked up to Huo Xiaoran with the promise letter and asked him to sign and seal it.

“CEO. There’s no evidence.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her steadily, feeling that she had set a huge trap for him.

However, money was just a worldly possession. He had earned so much money, but there was no place for him to spend it.

Huo Xiaoran picked up a pen and wrote his name. Then, he pressed his fingerprint.

Qiao An carefully folded the agreement and hid it in her bag.

She smiled at Huo Xiaoran and said, “CEO, I’ll transfer my remuneration details to you later. Pay me according to the amount.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Yes.”

Qiao An texted Qiao He and explained the details of taking care of the three children. Then she turned off her phone. It was rare for her to sleep early, so she immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep.

“You’re not removing your makeup?” Huo Xiaoran asked faintly.

Qiao An suddenly opened her eyes. At this moment, she understood why Huo Xiaoran forced her to stay in the hospital tonight.

This guy was really two-faced. He was always tricking her.

“I’m so tired,” Qiao An whimpered. “I won’t remove my makeup tonight.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her as if she was a national treasure. He couldn’t understand why a woman would scrape a few layers of paste on her face that blocked her pores and even sleepin it.

“Chen Sisi, can you love cleanliness?”

“I can,” Qiao An replied perfunctorily, but he didn’t move.

Then, soon, she heard Qiao An snoring.

Huo Xiaoran was so shocked by her thunderous snores that she couldn’t fall asleep.

He looked at Qiao An, who was sleeping peacefully like a baby, and didn’t understand why such a delicate girl had such a terrifying snore.

“Chen Sisi, have you checked your respiratory muscles and respiratory center? If you’re sick, go for treatment. Otherwise, which man would dare to want you?”

Qiao An ignored him.

Before long, Qiao An’s snoring became weaker and weaker. In the end, there was no more sound.

Huo Xiaoran came to a realization. She had deliberately let out such a terrifying snore just now and wouldn’t snore at all after falling asleep. Even her breathing was so weak.

He sat up, furious and kicked her in the face.

Qiao An was too sleepy. She hugged his foot and continued to sleep. One hand was still gently patting his foot, as if she was holding a baby.

Huo Xiaoran was melted by her cute actions. He retracted his foot and quietly admired her sleeping face.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly turned around and rolled to the ground from the cramped accompanying bed.

Huo Xiaoran covered his eyes and did not dare to look. Unexpectedly, after letting out a muffled groan, she lay on the ground and slept even more soundly.

Huo Xiaoran suddenly thought of Qiao An when she was young. She had told him that she was very naughty when she slept and often rolled off the bed to the ground. Then, she would sleep on the ground for a night and always catch a cold the next day.

Huo Xiaoran was a little conflicted. Should he carry her to the bed?

However, he was looking forward to something, as if he wanted to prove that she would not catch a cold tomorrow morning.

Just as Huo Xiaoran was hesitating, Lu Mo suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing Qiao An on the ground wrapped in a blanket, revealing her seaweed-like black hair and an extremely cute face, Lu Mo exclaimed.

“Chen Sisi, can you sleep better?”

Qiao An sat up in shock at her exclamation.

Realizing that she had fallen under the bed again, Qiao An hid it awkwardly. “This accompanying bed is too narrow. I won’t fall off at home.”

Her words sounded like she was exposing herself to Huo Xiaoran.
