Cheng Yao's unknown asset

Qian Heng is puzzled that his insomnia returns, fouling his mood. He is not as stone hearted as he looks like : after torturing the little mouse by sending her on an errand in the pouring rain, and having found out that she has no room of her own yet, he agrees to drive her to the apartment so she can get a hot shower since the office facilities are experiencing power failure. He is rewarded with another sound sleep, while Cheng Yao cooks and hums a lullaby.

The "Demon master" trope and cohabitation + insomnia are now setting the path toward a slow thawing up in the contractual and non romantic relationship between the lawyer and the spunky girl who does not let hardship get to her, but takes her boss' steely resolve about work ethics, and disregard of the hate that targets him, as her compass to realize her own ideals. He made clear he only wants her to be good at her work, not to be a serving maid or a copy clerk in the office, and she appreciates that: he is not one who will force alcohol and lecherous advances on her, like in her previous job.
