Give her to me.
At night.
Xia An 'an slept in her own room and sent a message to her foster mother.
Si Lijue seemed to have found his conscience and actually gave her a small room. It was fully equipped and was much better than her previous dormitory. But this was good too. It would be convenient for her to do anything.
"Mom, don't worry. He's fine."
Xia Anan hid what happened between her and Si Lijue. She didn't want her foster mother to worry about her because of this matter, and she didn't want her to feel guilty because of it. She and Si Lijue were a mistake, so let the mistake be forever.
Her foster mother sent her another message.
"I want to see his recent photos."
Xia An 'an was stunned. She thought for a moment and replied.
"Leave it to me."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and said that Si Lijue wanted to make supper.
Xia An 'an quickly got up.
Supper was not good for the body but she couldn't stop Si Lijue from staying up late. So she could only make him some light food that was easy to digest.
But when she brought it over, she found that Si Lijue had already fallen asleep on the table.
The wind was strong and the windows were wide open. Xia An 'an put down the supper and went to close the windows.
She suddenly remembered her foster mother's message. Wasn't this the best chance to take a photo?
Xia An 'an took out her phone and took a photo of Si Lijue's sleeping face.
Looking at the photo, she couldn't help but sigh. A good looking person could be used as a desktop. In the photo, Si Lijue didn't have his usual anger. Under the light, he looked gentle.
She put her phone away and gently nudged Si Lijue.
"Sir."
Si Lijue immediately woke up and looked at the person cautiously.
It was Xia An 'an.
"Sir, why don't you sleep in the room?"
Si Lijue rubbed his tired forehead and said lightly, "No need."
With that, he went back to flipping through the documents.
Xia An 'an looked at Si Lijue's focused expression and couldn't help but sigh. The CEO had it tough. Everyone else was off work but he still had to work overtime.
Therefore, don't always envy the rich. They may be glamorous in front of others, but behind the scenes, they have to pay several times more than ordinary people.
Seeing that Si Lijue had no intention of sleeping, she went to boil a cup of warm milk for him. Then, she took a coat and draped it over him.
Si Lijue felt a shirt on his shoulder and couldn't help but look at Xia An 'an. "What are you doing?"
Xia An 'an didn't understand and said, "It's cold at night and you're wearing too little. It's easy to catch a cold, so I thought it would be better to wear an extra coat."
Si Lijue's eyes darkened. "I didn't ask you to do these things."
"Eh."
Fine, she was being nosy.
"You care a lot about me?"
Si Lijue glanced at her.
Xia An 'an laughed dryly. "You're our boss. If I don't care about you, who's going to pay us?"
"Just because of this?"
Si Lijue narrowed his eyes.
Xia An 'an thought that he was doubting his motives again and was afraid that he would investigate his background. He quickly nodded his head and said, "Yes!"
Si Lijue didn't know why, but he was a little annoyed. "Is there no other reason?"
Xia An 'an's body stiffened and his head turned into a rattle. "No!"
"Ha."
“？”
Xia An 'an was confused. Why did he feel that the CEO was unhappy?
"Get out!"
Si Lijue coldly ordered him to leave.
Xia An 'an quickly slipped away.
Si Lijue was even more annoyed that Xia An 'an ran away faster than a rabbit.
This woman really didn't take what had happened between them to heart. She was perfectly abiding by her duty!
Very good! She was very tactful!
Damn it!
If that woman didn't care, why should he care?
…
Everyone knew that Si Lijue was usually as cold as ice and didn't show his emotions on his face. However, Xia An 'an sensitively sensed that the CEO was in a bad mood. Every time she was near this man, the surrounding air seemed to turn cold. It was so cold that she only wanted to put on more clothes.
However, no matter how angry the CEO was, he would still come home on time for dinner. This made Xia An 'an feel very relieved. As long as he cultivated good eating habits, his stomach wouldn't act up again.
Si Lijue usually came home around seven in the evening. Xia An 'an prepared the ingredients in advance. When he arrived at the door, he started to cook. However, he was told to add more dishes. It was said that there was a guest.
Xia An 'an had no choice but to add two more dishes. Garlic pork and radish braised beef.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to eat, a hearty male voice came from outside the kitchen. "I was wondering why you came home every day. So it's because there's a new chef. I want to see who can hook your stomach."
"Bang."
The door was opened.
A tall and handsome man stood at the door. His gaze swept across the kitchen.
Xia Anan was startled. She subconsciously held the bowl and looked at the person who had come with a look of surprise.
After the man scanned the kitchen, his gaze finally landed on Xia An 'an. "Where's your chef?"
Xia An 'an said blankly, "We haven't hired a chef yet …"
The previous one had already been chased away by Si Lijue.
"Then who cooked tonight?"
"Uh … it's me."
Xia An 'an hesitated. He looked at the man warily. He wasn't sure what the other party's purpose was.
The man's eyes lit up. He walked over boldly and said with a smile, "So you're the one who cooked tonight? The food was delicious. "
Xia An 'an was shocked by the man's aura. The man walked over and lifted the strands of hair hanging by the side of her face. It also revealed the ugly scar on her cheek.
"Your face …"
The man hesitated.
Xia An 'an quickly covered her face with her hair. She lowered her head, as if she already knew how the man would tease her.
However, the man didn't tease her. He walked up to Xia An 'an and said, "Didn't you see a doctor?"
Xia An 'an was stunned. Then she nodded. "I did, but it's been too long. It's useless now."
"I see."
The man thought for a moment, then handed a business card to Xia An 'an. "Then I'll introduce you to a plastic surgery hospital. When you go there, just say my name."
Xia An 'an looked at the business card. There were three words written on it.
Shen Jianian.
Xia An 'an was familiar with this name. The Shen family had been in the medical field for generations. They had chain hospitals all over the country. Shen Jianian was the heir of the Shen family.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen."
"Ah Jue hasn't been eating out recently. Brother, we couldn't ask him out. We thought he was hiding a mistress in his house."
Xia An 'an laughed dryly. "Sir hasn't brought any women home recently."
"I know. Isn't it because I've been seduced?"
Shen Jianian laughed.
He was humorous, elegant, and easy-going. Even when he saw the scar on Xia An 'an's face, he didn't reject it. Xia An' an got along with him very naturally and quickly relaxed.
When Si Lijue arrived, he saw this scene. Xia An 'an, who had always been submissive in front of him, was smiling in front of Shen Jianian. From time to time, he would even laugh at Shen Jianian's humorous conversation.
"Ahem!"
Si Lijue coughed twice, interrupting their conversation.
Shen Jianian saw Si Lijue standing at the door. He smiled and greeted him. "Why are you here too?"
"You've already eaten. Aren't you going to leave?"
Si Lijue directly asked him to leave.
Shen Jianian looked heartbroken. "No way. I just arrived and you're already chasing me away. You're not being a good friend."
Si Lijue was unmoved.
Shen Jianian was used to Si Lijue's cold demeanor. He walked over and put his hand on Si Lijue's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Ah Jue, I have something to discuss with you."
Si Lijue didn't say anything.
Shen Jianian's gaze swept over Xia An 'an. He then tried to negotiate. "Your little maid is quite good at cooking. Why don't you give her to me? I'll bring her back for a few days. I'm going to have to eat dirt outside."
Xia An 'an's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly looked at Si Lijue. Her heart was still pounding.
He wouldn't send her away, right?
Si Lijue also looked at her. "You want her?"
Xia An 'an heard this and became even more nervous.
Shen Jianian smiled and said, "Yes, I want her."
Si Lijue looked at Shen Jianian's smiling face and spat out these two words coldly.
