Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He wanted to ask more, but Li Weixi had already turned around and walked to the sofa.
"I have been busy all day and haven't eaten yet! I'm starving to death. What about you? "Li Weixi said as he turned his head to look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi bent down, put on his slippers and followed Li Weixi. "I haven't eaten either. Go and cook."
Li Weixi breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the kitchen with a smile as if she had been granted amnesty. After a while, the aroma wafted into the living room.
As usual, the home-cooked dishes looked alluring under the warm light. Li Weixi took off her apron, scooped a bowl of soup for Lin Yi and placed it in front of him.
Lin Yi looked up and saw fine beads of sweat on Li Weixi's forehead. His hair was casually tied up, and the strands of hair on his temples were a little messy. It looked like he had a different kind of charm.
He was a little absent-minded and couldn't help looking at her. Li Weixi was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's eat."
Lin Yi didn't ask about the proposal, which made Li Weixi feel relieved. That night, he didn't sleep with her, which was different from usual. Instead, he slept with her in his arms.
Lying in Lin Yi's arms, Li Weixi felt very at ease, but at the same time, she was a little confused. Why was he so cold to her tonight? Had he lost interest in her …
The sun shone on the floor of the bedroom, bringing with it a warm smell. A new day had come.
Ever since she asked Lin Yi for help that day, Li Weixi hadn't mentioned it to him. Lin Yi didn't take the initiative to talk about it either, as if it didn't exist.
Li Weixi began to feel a little anxious. After all, it was not a small matter. For Chi Zhihan's family, this was the most important turning point in their lives. Since she had agreed to help, it could be said that she had placed their lives on her shoulders.
However, she didn't want to urge Lin Yi because she was afraid that Lin Yi would become impatient. If that happened, all her efforts would be in vain.
The next few days passed very peacefully. The manager also had the tendency to talk to Roman about the proposal. Regarding this, the guilt in Li Weixi's heart faded slightly.
Roman returned to her usual high-spirited self, while Tao Aiai became even more low-key and depressed. Every time she saw Roman, she would subconsciously turn her head away.
Li Weixi was very happy to see that things were getting better in the company. However, the good times did not last long. Chi Zhihan's phone call made her return to her depressed mood.
"Sissi … My father is in the hospital …" Chi Zhihan's choked voice came through the phone.
Li Weixi hurriedly asked, "What? How's Uncle? "
"Sigh. Ever since he fainted, his health has been deteriorating. Recently, he has been feeling very stuffy in his chest. He can't sleep at night and is often frustrated. He even speaks ill of my mother … My mother and I understand him very well. We know that he is under a lot of pressure. My mother often secretly wipes her tears … "
Li Weixi sighed when she heard this. "Sigh. After such a big change, it's normal for Uncle and Auntie to not be able to accept it for a while."
"I don't know when it will end. If this continues, I'm afraid my mother will break down." Chi Zhihan's tone was filled with despair. Li Weixi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She repeatedly comforted Chi Zhihan. "Alright, don't be too sad. Your parents are counting on you now. If you continue to be passive and dispirited, they will definitely feel even worse. "
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Li Weixi found Lin Yi's cell phone number in her contact list. She was about to dial it when she stopped.
It was better not to rush him … What if he got annoyed …
However, she was really worried about Chi Zhihan. In the phone call just now, Chi Zhihan's voice, which was on the verge of breaking down, made her heart ache.
Finally, it was time to get off work. Li Weixi mustered up her courage and called Lin Yi.
"Hello, are you off work?" Li Weixi looked around and deliberately lowered her voice, afraid that her colleagues would notice that she was calling someone else.
"Yes." Lin Yi's indifferent voice came from the phone.
Li Weixi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Ever since that day, his attitude towards her had changed. He had noticed it long ago. However, he always reminded himself that she was just his lover. She just had to do her best and do what he asked her to do.
"Do you want to have dinner together tonight?" Li Weixi asked cautiously.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. Li Weixi could hear her rapid heartbeat.
"No, I have a business meeting tonight. You can eat by yourself."
"Well, alright then."
Li Weixi walked back to the villa in a daze. The setting sun reflected her shadow on the road. The breeze was gentle, and it was full of loneliness and coldness.
If Lin Yi was not willing to help her, then the Chi Family would be finished. At this thought, Li Weixi gritted her teeth. She could not let the Chi Family be ruined by her.
The next day happened to be the weekend. Li Weixi had a lot on her mind and her quality of sleep dropped rapidly. Therefore, she got up early on her day off. She was not in the mood to make breakfast, so she opened a carton of milk and gulped it down.
Lin Yi had sent a text message to Li Weixi. He said that he was going on a business trip for a week and asked Li Weixi to take care of herself. Li Weixi looked at the time the message was sent and smiled bitterly.
Li Weixi put down her phone and stretched herself. She could not waste such a beautiful day. The sun was so bright. Why not visit Uncle Chi in the hospital?
In the hospital.
Li Weixi walked through the corridor with bags of fruits and went straight to Father Chi's ward.
"Deng, deng, deng."
"Please come in."
Hearing the sound from inside, Li Weixi finally freed up his hands to open the door. Chi Zhihan was the first to welcome her. When he saw Li Weixi, he smiled and took the bags from her.
"Sissi, you're here alone and you're carrying so many things. Are you tired? Come and sit down! "
"Who is it?"
A middle-aged woman's voice was heard. Chi Zhihan turned around and said, "It's Weixi!"
Li Weixi walked to the bed and greeted Father Chi and Mother Chi. A kind smile hung on Mother Chi's face. "What a good child! You didn't have to bring anything to visit your Uncle Chi! I'm very happy that you're here to visit your Uncle Chi! "
Li Weixi waved her hand. "Auntie, you're being too polite! I've known Hanhan for so many years. You and Uncle Chi have treated me like your own daughter. It's only right for me to visit Uncle Chi! These fruits are all fresh. It's been hard on you to take care of Uncle Chi here. You can leave the shopping to us! "
"Hey, it's great that Hanhan has a friend like you!" Mother Chi held Li Weixi's hand and said earnestly.
