"Ring … Ring …"
The continuous ringing of the phone woke Lin Yi up from his sleep.
He frowned impatiently, took the phone and silenced it before looking at the name on the screen.
Berlin, The Thirteenth Master.
Lin Yi glanced at the girl sleeping soundly next to him. She didn't seem to have been woken up by the sudden call. Lin Yi's brows relaxed a little.
He got up gently and walked to the balcony with the phone. When he looked at the phone again, the call had just ended.
Lin Yi called again.
"Why did you pick up so slowly? What are you doing?" The Thirteenth Master pretended to be coquettish. "Have you really forgotten about your old lover now that you have a woman?"
"Stop fooling around, let's talk business."
Lin Yi believed that he wouldn't be so bored as to call in the middle of the night.
He deliberately lowered his voice, which seemed to remind The Thirteenth Master of something. "Oh right, it's early in the morning where you are, right? I didn't disturb you and Sissi, did I?"
"Are you going to talk or not? If not, I'm hanging up. "
"Talk, talk, talk. Seriously, can't we talk more?"
The Thirteenth Master mumbled, but he didn't forget about the important matter. His tone suddenly became more restrained. "I caught Gu Ze and asked him.
He said that he had contacted a designer named Tom, but from what he said, it seems that he doesn't plan to do anything to you now. "
"Tom."
Lin Yi repeated the name with a hint of gnashing teeth.
He knew that he wouldn't be honest, but he didn't expect him to have his hands in the country.
Should he find a time to deal with him?
Lin Yi had already started to think. He didn't reply to The Thirteenth Master's question about countermeasures.
After a few minutes, he said, "Lock that kid up first. If there's a call, let him answer it and find out the situation."
It wouldn't be good to touch Tom now. Moreover, that kid didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move. He wasn't in a hurry.
The Thirteenth Master seemed to have expected this. He chuckled. "I've already brought him back."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
"Sigh, you …"
"Du …"
After ruthlessly hanging up the phone, Lin Yi didn't dwell on this matter anymore. He turned around and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
Early in the morning, Li Weixi woke up feeling exceptionally refreshed.
Just yesterday, their proposal had finally been approved. There were still some details to be discussed. However, Shengshi Group still needed to bring the proposal back to the company for further discussion. This was equivalent to a small holiday for the project team.
After washing up and changing his clothes, Li Weixi was surprised to find Lin Yi in the living room.
An unnatural expression flashed across her face.
In the past few days, Lin Yi would leave early and return very late, regardless of whether he had something to do or not.
Li Weixi was naturally uncomfortable with his evasive attitude, but she couldn't say anything to Lin Yi. She could only try her best to be obedient in front of him so that he wouldn't hate her.
She couldn't remember how many times she had fallen asleep on the sofa while waiting for Lin Yi.
In response to her appearance, Lin Yi only glanced at her indifferently before his gaze landed on a pot of flowers not far away.
Li Weixi was at a loss. She didn't know if she should sit down or turn around and leave. Would she anger Lin Yi?
She fiddled with her fingers and hesitated, but Lin Yi was the first to speak.
"Have you been in contact with Tom recently?"
"Huh?" Li Weixi was dazed. Obviously, she hadn't expected him to take the initiative to speak.
Before she could answer, the man frowned, which made Li Weixi a bit nervous.
She waved her hand and explained, "No, how could I contact him if you didn't let me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she recalled Tom's concern for her a few days ago. Li Weixi inexplicably felt a little guilty and carefully glanced at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi still looked calm. She didn't know if he believed her or not.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's best not."
"According to the news from Berlin, Tom is the one who contacted Gu Ze. Remember, he's your enemy from now on."
Li Weixi's eyes widened when she heard what he said. She retorted, "Impossible, it can't be him!"
Lin Yi's face darkened, which made her realize that she had lost her composure. She explained, "I just think that someone with such eyes can't be a bad person."
"Bad person?" Lin Yi sneered. "Do you think it's so easy to tell the difference between a bad person and a good person? How could you be deceived? "
Li Weixi felt a stab of pain and looked unnatural. It wasn't because she had trusted the wrong person, but because of Lin Yi's words.
Lin Yi's heart softened when he saw the girl's dejected expression. He regretted what he had said.
He put down his cup and stood up without looking at the girl. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Chi Zhihan."
After saying this, he turned around and went upstairs, leaving Li Weixi standing alone.
Her thin body looked so delicate.
Andy watched as Lin Yi disappeared at the top of the stairs. She then inched closer to Li Weixi and asked softly, "Ma 'am, do you want to eat?"
Lin Yi didn't hide the conversation from Andy.
Andy was not used to the man's cold attitude, so she felt sorry for Li Weixi.
However, as a servant, what could she say about her master's business?
Hearing Li Weixi's perfunctory response, Andy invited her to sit down and went into the kitchen to get busy.
However, before Li Weixi could eat, she saw Lin Yi coming downstairs, dressed neatly, as if he was about to go out.
Li Weixi watched silently as he walked out of the door. Suddenly, he lost his appetite to eat.
After saying goodbye to Andy, she went upstairs and locked herself in her room.
First, she called Chi Zhihan to confirm the truth about Tom. After that, she was indescribably disappointed.
She hadn't expected it to be him.
But why would he do that?
Li Weixi couldn't figure it out.
She opened her phone and wanted to ask Tom directly, but she couldn't find the right button.
While he was hesitating, his phone really rang.
Li Weixi was stunned and instinctively thought that it was Tom. However, she couldn't tell if she was disappointed or relieved after seeing who it was.
Li Weixi picked up the phone and tried to sound normal. "Sister Roman, is there a problem with the proposal?"
"No, don't be nervous." Roman's side was a little noisy. She seemed to be in a shopping mall. Her voice sounded very happy. "It's Mr. Tom's invitation. He invited us to his jewelry store to take a look. I think it's pretty good. It's good for our next plan to broaden our horizons. That's why he asked if you want to come."
So that was the reason.
But Tom …
Li Weixi was conflicted. She was afraid that Lin Yi wouldn't let her go.
Li Weixi thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it. I'll get back to you later."
