“Stop the car.” Li Xinyi asked her assistant to stop the nanny car. She took off her sunglasses and her expression changed.
“What’s wrong, Xinyi? Did you see CEO Lu?” Assistant Tian Ya asked.
Li Xinyi panicked. How was that possible? She thought she saw Li An’an just then. It looked very much like her. She didn’t die?
The assistant saw that something in her expression was not quite right and called out again. “Xinyi?”
Li Xinyi snapped back to her senses. “It’s not Lu Ming. I just sent him off yesterday. He’s flown out of town for a few days.”
“I was only joking. Who doesn’t know how much CEO Lu likes you?” Tian Ya didn’t dare to upset her. Recently, for some reason, someone had exposed Xinyi’s scandal. Although they managed to suppress it, it had created a negative impact nevertheless. It had only been completely dealt with yesterday.
“Yes. By the way, Tian Ya, do you think there are people in this world that look a lot like each other?”
“Of course. A few days ago, I read on the Internet about some individuals who look exactly like someone who existed hundreds of years ago. Don’t you think it’s very interesting? Also, when I was in junior high school, I knew of a junior who looked 80% like my cousin, but my aunt didn’t give birth to twins!”
Li Xinyi smiled. It was probably just someone who resembled the girl. How could Li An’an still be alive? Impossible.
At the entrance of the kindergarten.
Li An’an sent the three little tots in, feeling uneasy. She thought she saw Li Xinyi’s car just then. She wasn’t sure if the other party had spotted her!
At the Villa.
Li An’an’s mind was elsewhere as she prepared the meal.
Chu Yichen came back in the afternoon. He stopped eating after having a mouthful of shredded potatoes. He looked at her teasingly.
“Is salt free these days?”
“Eh, what?” Li An’an didn’t understand what Chu Yichen meant. He was so filthy rich, why should he care if salt was free!
Chu Yichen placed his chopsticks down. “Eat it yourself.”
Li An’an took a bite and narrowed her eyes. She almost spat out the food. So salty.
“Sorry, I’m a little unwell, so I added too much salt. I’ll cook a new batch!” Li An’an clutched her abdomen on purpose. She might be able to get off more easily if she pretended.
Chu Yichen stared at her. She was starting to make it a habit to put on an act.
“If you’re unwell. I’ll send vou to the hospital. We’ll get the doctor to prescribe more medicine! You can even get an injection and stay in the hospital!” He instructed the driver to prepare the car, but Li An’an hurriedly stopped him.
“That’s not necessary. I suddenly feel better. I’m really better. I’ll cook a new lot for you right away. I guarantee it’ll be delicious.” She pulled herself together and pushed Li Xinyi’s matter out of her mind. She’d figure it out when she had the ability to deal with her. Right now, she had to deal with Chu Yichen as a priority. He was not someone to be trifled with.
Chu Yichen sat on the sofa and waited.
Li An’an made the same dishes as fast as she could and served them up. The dishes looked, smelled, and tasted great. Especially the meat gravy, it was her secret recipe. It was especially delicious when poured over rice.
Chu Yichen continued to eat. This time, he did not complain.
Li An’an wondered when Auntie Zhang would come. She just wanted to handle the cleaning outside, and not cook for Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen went upstairs after dinner and came back down in a suit.
He had a cocktail party to attend today.
Li An’an looked at him, he was all dressed up. She praised him. He was in a
black, patterned suit that wrapped around his muscular and perfect figure. His hair was slicked back and he looked icily cool. The corners of his long and intense eyes were tilted upwards and there was a hint of charm in his sharpness. He was aloof and dashing!
“Young Master, your cufflinks.” The butler was holding a pair of diamond cufflinks. Chu Yichen raised his hand and the butler helped him put them on.
Li An’an stared at the cufflinks. The diamonds were dazzling and she felt an urge to sell them for money!
The butler helped Chu Yichen wear them, adjusted his sleeves carefully and left.
Chu Yichen suddenly turned around as he was leaving. “You have five more days.”
Li An’an’s scalp went numb. How could she have forgotten about that?
After Chu Yichen left.
Li An’an was at her wits’ end.
He wanted her to seek out Gu Na? That would be asking for trouble. The way Chu Yichen had added fuel to the fire that day destroyed any chances that she’d have to ever hold a decent conversation with that woman.
In the Afternoon.
Chu Yichen did not return to the villa for dinner. Li An’an picked a few stems of roses from the garden before she left.
“Mr. Chu asked me to give these to your Young Miss.”
Li An’an stood outside the door and handed the flowers to the Gu family’s servant.
“Yes, Mr. Chu has asked for your Young Miss to spend the night. Please remind her to be on time.”
Then, she left under the shocked gaze of the servant.
“I’ve settled it. Room 501 of the hotel I stayed in yesterday!” Li An’an told Chu Yichen over the phone.
Since Gu Na liked Chu Yichen so much, she would definitely turn up.
In the banquet hall.
Chu Yichen was drinking alone in a corner. He was so aloof that no woman dared to approach him.
In response to Li An’an’s message, he praised, “You’re pretty fast.” “Of course, I do my best to carry out the tasks you assign!”
“Alright, let’s go together tomorrow.”
“There’s no need for that. You guys are so into each other. It’s not appropriate for me to go.”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’m missing a doorkeeper.” Then, Chu Yichen hung up the phone..
