Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

At least as her brother, he wouldn't reject her affection and closeness.

"Let's wait a little longer," He Yichen thought, gripping his wine glass tightly, veins bulging on his arm as he tried to control himself.

After taking a shower and clearing my mind, I went to sleep, and in my dreams, I saw familiar faces from all these years.

I've gotten used to waking up in the morning. The emotions I've suppressed over the past few years, even with my strong self-control, have occasionally almost caused me to lose control.

Looking at her makes me want more, to stay by her side in different roles, and to be with her day and night.

After showering, changing clothes, and having breakfast, I drove to the Junyue Mansion parking lot and dialed He Yimei's number on my phone.

He Yimei, who had just finished tidying herself up, saw the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, thinking that if she didn't answer the phone, people would think something had happened to her, but she answered anyway.

[Brother, what's wrong?]

Are you ready? I'll wait for you in the parking lot and take you to work.

[…Okay, I'll be right down.] Now that we're downstairs, we can't exactly call someone back.

When I took the elevator to the basement level, I saw a man in a suit standing next to the car.

He Yichen, in his early twenties, possessed an outstanding temperament, a dignified bearing, a handsome face, and an extraordinary charm, with a calm and composed gaze.

With his tall and well-proportioned figure, he looked sharp and stylish in a suit.

I hadn't paid much attention to him before, but today I realized that this person I grew up with has become mature and steady.

She's the center of attention even in a crowd; she's beautiful, talented, successful, and still single.

He Yichen also looked at He Yimei.

A simple, fitted suit skirt hugged her curvaceous figure, her eyes exuding confidence and composure, radiating a captivating charm.

She walked towards me step by step in high heels, as if stepping on the very tip of my heart.

He Yichen's voice was deep and magnetic: "You didn't bring your car back last night, so I'll just take you to the company."

He Yimei: "Okay." She got into the car without saying anything more.

He Yichen clearly sensed her coldness and was somewhat puzzled.

I glanced at her as I got on the bus and handed her the breakfast I had made that morning.

"This is the breakfast I made. You drank alcohol last night, so you should eat something for breakfast."

Knowing that she sometimes forgets to eat breakfast when she's busy, I often remind her.

He Yimei accepted it: "Thank you, brother."

The atmosphere inside the car quieted down, and no one spoke for a moment.

He Yichen was wondering why she had suddenly become so cold, while He Yimei was thinking about how to keep her distance in the future.

He Yichen tentatively asked, "Do you have time to have lunch together?"

He Yimei politely declined, saying, "I've been quite busy lately, and I usually order takeout for lunch."

He Yichen was now certain that she had suddenly become cold towards him.

After much thought, I realized that she must have discovered something about herself through what happened last night, after all, she's so smart.

He Yichen's eyes dimmed: "Okay, we'll have dinner together when you're done with your work and have some free time."

He Yimei breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."

Seeing her sigh of relief and her reluctance to eat with him, He Yichen's heart sank further.

I forced myself to stay calm and drove to her office building, watching her get out of the car.

He Yimei: "I'm going up now, bye-bye, drive carefully." She turned and went into the company.

He Yichen felt a little breathless as he watched her retreating figure.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly for a while before starting the car.

Upon arriving at the law firm, he ran into Xiang Heng: "Yi Chen, you left early last night, did you run into Yi Mei?"

He Yichen was in a bad mood and acquiesced.

Xiang Heng understood, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem too happy either: "Why aren't you happy to see people?"

He Yichen walked into the office and sat down, and Xiang Heng followed him in.

She sat on the sofa, looking at him with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong.

He Yichen: "Aren't you busy? If you don't have any work, I have a few cases for you to handle."

Seeing his agitated state today, Xiang Heng knew it was because of He Yimei.

"No, no, I'm busy, I'll be going now."

I didn't dare ask any more questions and went back to work.

After everyone left, He Yichen put his hands on his head, desperately needing to calm down.

Now he was certain that she had discovered his feelings and wanted to distance herself from him; the scene he least wanted to see had still happened.

I have a terrible headache and difficulty breathing. The thought of her being far away from me or even hating me makes me feel suffocated.

He took off his coat, loosened his tie, opened a drawer, took out a cigarette case, and lit a cigarette. He needed to calm down.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his well-defined arms.

He took a deep drag on the cigarette held between his well-defined knuckles, exhaling a smoke ring from his thin lips. The nicotine's stimulation finally brought his mind back to normal.

I'm trying to figure out how to get close to her without making her dislike me, but I can't think of a suitable method right now.

After finishing a cigarette, there was nothing I could do for the time being, so I had to focus on work and let it numb me.

When He Yimei arrived at the company, she took out the breakfast that He Yichen had prepared, all of which were her favorite dishes.

Feeling a bit helpless, I wondered when he had started seeing me. It seemed best to reduce contact to prevent him from getting more and more involved.

After breakfast, I got busy with work. Although I declined to have dinner with He Yichen, it was just an excuse, but I was indeed quite busy.

I did order food, but I just didn't want to go downstairs; I was just lazy.

My phone rang, and when I glanced at it, it was my mother calling.

[Mom, do you miss me? Call me.]

[Yimei, your parents haven't seen you for months. Have you been busy lately? Come home for a few days when you have time.]

I've been a bit busy lately. Once I'm done with this, I'll come back to be with you and Dad.

[Then Mom and Dad will be waiting for you. Yichen is busy too, so come back together when you have time.] He Yimei fell silent when He Yichen was mentioned.

[Okay, I'll be back, Mom. I'm still busy, I'll hang up now.]

Okay, you go ahead and do your thing.

He Yimei thought that her parents were unwilling to come and live with her, so she planned to buy them another house next time she went back.

The old house can be rented out now. There are primary and secondary schools nearby, and many people with children rent the house. Parents can collect some rent.

Thinking of He Yichen gave her a headache. They couldn't keep avoiding each other forever; she still had to go home.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

After finishing her busy period, He Yimei secured a collaboration. Both parties reached an agreement, which was mutually beneficial, and the partner held a celebration party.

He Yimei was invited to attend, and she asked her assistant to prepare a dress.

At the banquet, He Yimei, wearing a burgundy off-shoulder dress, became the focus of the entire event.

Her slender and graceful figure, and the high slit of her skirt reveal her fair and delicate long legs.

With her long, wavy hair, matching burgundy earrings and necklace, she was stunningly beautiful and exuded a cool and aloof aura.

He raised a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Mr. Chen, the general manager of the Chen Group, a partner company.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

He Yimei: "It's a pleasure working with you." She gave a polite smile.

They chatted about the details of their collaboration, and to outsiders, it looked like they were laughing and joking, clearly in love.

It just so happens that He Yichen, Xiang Heng, and Lao Yuan also came because they were invited by a client.
