The phone rang, startling her. It was Chu Yichen. Li An’an didn’t dare to pick up the call. She waited for the phone to ring for a long time before picking it up.
“Morning, did you sleep well last night? I just woke up.” Li An’an pretended to stretch and hurriedly closed the window, afraid that he would hear the sound of the breaking waves outside.
Chu Yichen buttoned the last button of his suit with one hand, opened the bedroom door and walked out of the room to the corridor. His tone was cold.
“Not so well.”
“Are you angry because I didn’t come to eat with you yesterday? I have my reason for that. I’ll cook your favorite dishes in a few days, okay?”
Li An’an was nervous and stuttered. For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching, as if Chu Yichen had already noticed her lie.
Chu Yichen went downstairs. Butler Chu was already waiting by the door to send him off.
Li Cheng stood by the car and opened the car door as he saw the CEO coming downstairs. Chu Yichen got into the car and they headed out to the office. Last night, the CEO had issued a sudden notification for a meeting this morning. He had no idea what the issue was. Usually, the CEO would only hold such emergency meetings when he was leaving on a business trip, to ensure that the business would operate normally in his absence. However, he was not aware that the CEO was going on a business trip any time soon.
In the car, Chu Yichen shifted his posture and took out his phone.
Li An’an was anxious when he didn’t say anything for a long time. “I’m serious. I promise I’ll make you the best dishes when I return, so can we leave yesterday’s unpleasantness behind us?”
Chu Yichen said in a low voice, “Are you trying to say that you were busy yesterday and didn’t have time to eat with me?”
“Yes, yes! I was very busy. I had to take care of the children.”
Chu Yichen laughed. His laughter sent chills down the spines of the driver and Li Cheng.
Li Cheng thought to himself, Li An’an is really unafraid of death.
Chu Yichen said icily, “Switch to a video call.”
Li An’an was horrified. “A video call… Why?”
“I wish to see you.” Chu Yichen’s tone was very calm, as if they were having a normal conversation.
Li An’an broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Yichen wanted to do a video call, but she was in the hotel. Once she got on a video call, everything would be exposed.
“You don’t dare to do it? Could it be, you’re lying? Remember what you said last time!” Chu Yichen’s tone was as sharp as a knife.
Li An’an was taken aback. “No, I’ll start the video right away.” She immediately ran to the washroom, hung up the phone, and made a video call.
Chu Yichen picked up the call and sneered when he saw that detestable face and the background of the bathroom.
“I’m brushing my teeth. Look, I’m not lying to you, right?” Li An’an took in a mouthful of water. With a toothbrush in her mouth, her voice was muffled.
Chu Yichen leaned back in his seat and stared coldly at her bright eyes. He clenched his fists silently.
“That’s right. You’re not lying.” His expression relaxed and he smiled gently.
Li An’an was mesmerized by his smile through the video call. Chu Yichen was all dressed up and looked quite good when he smiled. He was handsome and charming, and he had restrain. Coupled with a flawless face, he was impactful.
“Are you on the way to the office?” She pushed her infatuated thoughts to the back of her mind.
Chu Yichen nodded.
“Oh, then don’t let me interrupt you. I have to go do some marketing after brushing my teeth.” After saying that, Li An’an regretted it immediately. What if the man asked her to send food over in the afternoon? Wouldn’t she fall into an endless loop again? She felt like slapping herself.
Surprisingly, Chu Yichen did not react. He picked up the document on the seat with his other hand and looked down at it. “I’m busy. I’m hanging up.”
Li An’an was stunned for a moment. Just like that? Although Chu Yichen didn’t act abnormally, she still felt a little uneasy.
Seeing her in a daze, Chu Yichen suddenly looked up. “Or do you wish to chat for a bit more?”
Li An’an hurriedly shook her head. “No, go ahead. We’ll talk again next time.”
After hanging up the phone, Li An’an collapsed to the ground. No, her heart couldn’t take it anymore. Chu Yichen was scaring her to death..
