The phone only rang once before it was picked up. A hoarse voice came out: "Hello?"
Li Weixi opened her mouth slightly, but found that she couldn't speak. She only felt panic in her chest. She was afraid of Lin Yi. If it was really as she misunderstood, what should she do? She made the call on the spur of the moment and regretted it. If only she thought about it carefully.
Hearing no response from the phone, Lin Yi frowned impatiently. "What can I do for you?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly took the phone from his ear and glanced at the screen. When he saw the familiar name, his usually cold eyes turned slightly, and the phone was put back to his ear. His voice had a rare hint of anxiety. "Where are you?"
"Tom's house." Li Weixi said subconsciously. She was a little sad because of Lin Yi's previous words, so she didn't realize the emotion in Lin Yi's words at all. Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, her depressed mood appeared on her face.
When Tom came in with the soup, he saw her expression. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes and she was trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of something.
His heart ached when he saw this.
The girl he liked should be like that day, with a pair of bright eyes and a satisfied and happy smile.
He walked over with the porridge and said in a particularly gentle voice, "Eat something. If you feel tired, you can continue to sleep. You don't have to worry about anything here. I'll be with you."
"Thank you, but I don't want to eat. Someone has come to pick me up. I'll wait for him at the door. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I'm really sorry for causing you a lot of trouble last night."
Li Weixi said in a low voice. She had already lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Only then did she find that she had changed her clothes into pajamas. Thinking that this was Tom's house, she subconsciously grabbed the collar and looked at the man in front of her with slightly widened eyes.
The caution and wariness in the girl's eyes seemed to dilute her depressed mood. Tom smiled gently and rubbed Li Weixi's messy hair, saying, "Don't worry, the auntie at home changed it for you."
He bent down slightly and looked Li Weixi in the eye. "If you don't want to eat now, I won't force you. But don't say that you're troubling me, okay? I don't find it troublesome at all. It's my honor to take care of you. Now, why don't you rest for a while more? Let's go out and eat. "
Being stared at by such a pair of beautiful eyes, Li Weixi felt her cheeks burning. She looked away uncomfortably and almost agreed. However, thinking that Lin Yi would be back soon, she insisted on waiting at the door.
Seeing that she was so insistent, Tom didn't say anything else. He asked someone to bring a set of clothes. After changing in Li Weixi, he took her to the door to wait.
Li Weixi was a bit nervous. She looked at Tom tentatively. "I'll wait by myself. Why don't you go in and eat first? Don't bother to keep me company."
"How can you say that?" Tom looked at her disapprovingly and shook his head firmly. "I won't be at ease until I see you leave safely. Don't try to persuade me again. I won't change my mind."
Li Weixi felt helpless, but she was actually looking forward to it.
Would Lin Yi be a little jealous when he saw them standing together later?
Not long after, a familiar car appeared in Li Weixi's line of sight and stopped in front of the two of them.
Tom was a bit surprised. Before he could ask Li Weixi for confirmation, he saw the car door open and a very familiar man stepped out.
The man was wearing a suit and looked very cold. However, if one was careful, one would notice that it was the suit he wore last night.
"Come with me." Lin Yi's tone was cold. He glanced at the two people standing side by side and felt very unhappy. He walked up to Li Weixi and pulled her away from Tom.
The driver opened the car door at the right time.
Lin Yi stuffed Li Weixi into the car without saying anything. His actions seemed rough, but only he knew that he didn't use much strength because he didn't want to hurt Li Weixi.
To his surprise, Li Weixi was also very obedient. This made his somewhat restless heart calm down a little, and he also had the mood to say a few more words to Tom: "The clothes on her body were bought by Mr. Tom, right? I'll get someone to transfer the money to your card. Then, goodbye."
"Wait …" Tom still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the driver.
"Mr. Tom, thank you for taking care of me." The driver stretched out his arm and smiled at him as if to remind him. "Mr. Tom, if you want to visit my husband, you can go to this address. Then, I'll say goodbye again. Goodbye."
The driver bowed and turned to get into the car. Under Lin Yi's signal, he drove away.
Tom watched the car drive away and glanced down at the address. He wanted to ask Lin Yi for Li Weixi, but when he saw the address, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
Wasn't this the address where he went to pick up Li Weixi? Were the two of them living together?
Tom felt uncomfortable in his heart. He recalled last night's ball and suddenly understood. However, when he thought about how Sicily was standing next to Lin Yi last night, the corners of his mouth curved into a mocking smile.
Lin Yi was an interesting person.
Li Weixi obediently followed Lin Yi all the way home. She felt the breath of the person next to her and felt uncomfortable and a little scared.
She was pulled into the bedroom. Lin Yi slammed the bedroom door and pinned her against it. The whites of his eyes were a little bloodshot. He held her shoulders tightly and said, "What did he do to you last night?"
"Nothing. He just told me to have a good rest." Li Weixi said truthfully. She frowned because of the slight pain from her shoulders.
Lin Yi saw her expression and thought that she was angry about what happened last night. He hurriedly explained, "There's nothing between us. We're just ordinary friends. If you have any questions about jewelry design in the future, you can ask her for advice. She's a famous master in jewelry design."
Li Weixi said softly, "Okay." Her expression didn't change.
Normally, when she heard that she could have a chance to get in touch with her idol, she would have been so happy that she didn't know what to do. However, when the news came from Lin Yi in such a situation and mixed with his explanation, she couldn't help but feel that she was still not as good as Sicily.
Li Weixi's heart was sour, and the sourness reached the tip of his nose.
However, she knew that she shouldn't ask too much because of her identity, so she just listened to Lin Yi's explanation.
