He Nianchu was caught red-handed. Her expression froze for a moment, but she quickly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about! He Sijie is my brother. Why would I like him? You, don't be an alarmist! "
Seeing He Nianchu's intense reaction, Xia An 'an smiled and said, "Although he's your brother in name, he's not related to you by blood. Even if you like him, it doesn't matter."
"I already said, why would I like him? Xia An 'an, don't be a demon here! Don't think I don't know why you're spouting nonsense here! Aren't you just trying to fan the flames in front of Si Lijue? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! "
He Nianchu looked like she wanted to kill someone. Xia An 'an had no doubt that if she continued this topic, she would be strangled to death by He Nianchu.
She shifted her gaze and cut to the chase. "Alright, it doesn't matter if you like your brother or not. It has nothing to do with me. Now, let's get down to business. How confident are you about the project in the south?"
When He Nianchu heard about the project in the South, her eyelids twitched. She looked at Xia An 'an warily and asked, "Why are you asking this? Didn't I say there's no problem? "
"Really no problem?"
Xia An 'an narrowed her eyes and looked at He Nianchu. "I trusted you at first, but who knew Mr. He would also come to C Country? He's a busy man, isn't he? Why would he come to C Country for no reason? Could it be that he's here specifically for this project? "
He Nianchu was shocked.
This damned Xia An 'an was indeed sharp!
"My brother came to C Country for fun. I've already said that there won't be any problems with the project, so there definitely won't be any problems! Why are you so long-winded? Do you think I can't do it? "
He Nianchu unconsciously raised her voice, as if it would boost her confidence.
Xia An 'an took note of her reaction. If she was only suspicious when He Sijie appeared, now that she saw He Nianchu's reaction, she was certain. He Sijie was indeed here for that project, and He Nianchu was also troubled.
Could it be that they had overreached themselves?
Xia An 'an felt a little uneasy, but she managed to hide it well. She said to He Nianchu, "Of course, I believe in Miss Family He's ability. It's just a small project. You can solve it with one word. How can it not be done?"
These words were full of flattery, but it also secretly put pressure on He Nianchu.
If she couldn't even solve a "small" project, what right did she have to be so high and mighty? What right did she have to say that she could help Si Lijue?
He Nianchu did feel some pressure. She replied on the surface, "Of course. In short, don't ask too much about this matter. Just wait and see the results!"
"Alright, I'll wait and see."
Xia An 'an replied lightly. He Nian saw that Xia Anan did not continue this topic and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She said, "Also, what I told you just now is to stay away from my brother. He's a famous playboy and plays with women at his fingertips. He's surrounded by beauties like celebrities and models. Suddenly, he sees someone as ugly as you.
It's just a fresh feeling. Don't think that you're special. "
Xia An 'an suddenly realized something interesting.
He Nianchu paid more attention to He Sijie than to Si Lijue. In just a short while, she had already reminded her to stay away from He Sijie. It seemed like she really cared about He Sijie.
If He Nianchu was really looking at the pot while eating from the pot, Xia An 'an had to warn her.
She could give up on Si Lijue, but if He Nianchu couldn't be loyal to Si Lijue, she wouldn't let her be with Si Lijue.
…
Xia An 'an stayed in the hospital for more than ten days. The wound on her hand was almost healed.
On the day she was discharged, Si Lijue didn't appear. Xiang Nian told her that Si Lijue was very busy and didn't have time to pick her up.
However, ever since she bumped into He Sijie with her, Si Lijue rarely appeared. He was busy every day. Xia An 'an stayed in the hospital and didn't know much. She only heard about Si Lijue's intimate interactions from He Nianchu from time to time.
In the past, these photos could still touch her, but now they didn't hurt or itch.
Back at the villa.
The way everyone looked at her changed as well.
The original coldness was gone. They were much more attentive. Some people even took the initiative to greet her and ask about her well-being.
Xia An 'an understood that Si Lijue must have informed them beforehand. Or perhaps, the head maid's incident gave them a warning.
She didn't know when He Nianchu left the villa. Everything seemed to have returned to the past.
Xia An 'an still had nothing to do. Her job was to cook for Si Lijue. Si Lijue didn't come home in the afternoon and had a dinner appointment in the evening. He didn't have much time to eat at home. Xia An' an had nothing to do. She thought about helping others, but they all avoided her, afraid of offending her.
Xia An 'an tried a few times and found that most of the people in the villa had the same attitude. She didn't poke her nose into other people's business. Hence, she became the only person in the villa with nothing to do.
When she had nothing to do, she would go to the study to read. At ten o 'clock at night, she would rest.
A week passed. Perhaps it was because she had a good night's sleep, but her complexion was much better and her body seemed to be healthier.
This night, she woke up to go to the toilet. When she came back, she bumped into Si Lijue.
Both of them were stunned.
They had seen each other for almost half a month. Xia An 'an noticed that Si Lijue seemed to have lost some weight and his facial features had become more defined.
"Sir … you …"
Xia An 'an was a little hesitant.
"I'm going upstairs!"
Si Lijue said and turned to leave.
Si Lijue lived on the fourth floor and the servants lived on the second floor. If Si Lijue was only going upstairs, he definitely wouldn't have walked over to her. Hence, there was only one possibility. He had specially come over. His motive was self-evident.
Seeing that Si Lijue was leaving in a hurry, Xia An 'an hurriedly called out to him.
"Sir!"
Si Lijue stopped and turned to look at her coldly. He said coldly, "Is there anything else?" Xia Anan thought that Si Lijue was very angry, or that he wouldn't even acknowledge her when she called him. She didn't expect him to turn around as soon as she called him. She felt a little warm in her heart and the expression on her face became much gentler. It was as if they were conversing normally. She said, "I want to ask if you want to …
Do you want to have some supper? "
Si Lijue thought for a moment and said coldly, "No need."
Who knew that just as she said that, her stomach would grumble.
It was already late at night and the corridor was very quiet. When her stomach grumbled, it was very obvious.
Both of them were stunned. Si Lijue was also a little embarrassed. He was about to leave when Xia An 'an quickly said, "Can I make you some noodles? Tomato egg noodles. It'll be quick. "
Si Lijue looked at her. Deep emotions flashed across his eyes. After a few seconds, he finally spoke.
"It won't be troublesome, right?"
Xia An 'an smiled. "I'm here to take care of your meals and lodging. How can it be troublesome?"
After hearing Xia An 'an's words, Si Lijue seemed to be touched. He turned around and said lightly, "Bring it to my room later."
After speaking, he hurriedly left.
