Xia An 'an's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively glanced upstairs. "He said that?"
"Yes."
After the servant finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare the food. Very quickly, the food was served. As it was already late at night, the servants were afraid that Xia An 'an would get indigestion, so they made porridge that was easy to digest and light side dishes.
This was something that Si Lijue had specifically emphasized.
Xia An 'an drank a bowl of porridge. She thought of something and asked, "Has Sir eaten since?"
The servant shook his head. "Not yet. Sir has been in the study all this time and hasn't come out yet."
Xia An 'an was worried. That person was so concerned about her matters, but when it came to his own matters, he was so perfunctory. How could his body take it?
She was still angry with Si Lijue just now. She was sure that he didn't understand her.
But now, her heart started to ache. Xia An 'an realized that she really became unprincipled when it came to Si Lijue.
She even thought that if she really couldn't go, then forget it. Compared to the project, Si Lijue was more important. If he really objected, then she wouldn't go. Even if she had to kneel in front of Yan Chenliang and apologize, she would endure it.
After she made up her mind, she asked, "Is there any porridge left?"
"Yes."
"Get me another bowl," Xia An 'an ordered.
"Yes."
Xia An 'an held the porridge and stood at the door of the study. Before she could say anything, Si Lijue's voice suddenly rang out. "Come in."
Xia An 'an's heart skipped a beat. She pushed the door open and walked in.
Si Lijue was leaning against the chair. He was on the phone. His handsome face was like a machine, expressionless. His voice was calm, but every word was filled with power.
Xia An 'an didn't dare to disturb Si Lijue. She tiptoed, walked in front of him, and placed the porridge on the table.
Then she stood aside. Si Lijue's phone call lasted for a long time. Xia An 'an estimated that she had been here for more than ten minutes, but Si Lijue was still on the phone. She didn't know if Si Lijue was doing it on purpose, or if he just didn't want to talk to her.
He had deliberately chatted for so long.
She was slightly disappointed and felt that there was no point in continuing to wait, so she turned and walked towards the door.
Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Si Lijue suddenly said, "Why are you leaving? Don't you have something to tell me? "
"Hmm?"
Xia An 'an froze for a second. After confirming that Si Lijue was talking to him, he turned around abruptly and looked at him in surprise. He realized that Si Lijue had already ended the call.
Si Lijue looked at her calmly. She couldn't tell if he was happy or angry.
Xia An 'an did have something to say just now, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to say it now.
It took him a while to prepare.
She lowered her head and twisted her fingers. She said softly, "Ah Jue, if you …"
Before she could finish, Si Lijue interrupted her nonchalantly. "If you really care about the project that much, it's not impossible for you to go."
When Xia Anan heard this, he was so surprised that his jaw almost fell off.
What did she just hear? Didn't he just say that he agreed to let her go?
Xia An 'an widened her eyes and walked towards Si Lijue. She stopped beside him and asked in disbelief, "Ah Jue, is what you said just now true? You really agreed to let me go? "
Si Lijue's expression was indifferent. He said coldly, "If I don't agree, won't you continue to be angry with me? What can I do? "
Xia An 'an's face suddenly turned red when she heard this. She looked around and muttered softly, "It's not like I'm angry for no reason. Besides, I won't always be angry."
Si Lijue seemed to chuckle. Xia An 'an squatted down and rested her hands on Si Lijue's thighs. She stared unblinkingly at Si Lijue and said in a soft voice, "Ah Jue, thank you for supporting me. I will definitely do this project well.
When the time comes, I will prove to you that I am a woman who can help you. "
Si Lijue's handsome face was tainted with a smile. His slender fingers gently stroked her hair as he said leisurely, "You're so reliable. But I always felt that you didn't have to work so hard."
During this period of time, in order to catch up with the progress, Xia Anan had been studying and doing research day and night.
The high-intensity work had caused her weight to drop rapidly. It wasn't easy for her to put on some weight, but she was back to square one overnight.
He suddenly lifted Xia An 'an up and let her sit on his thighs.
"Ah Jue!"
Xia An 'an was shocked. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to steady herself.
Then, Si Lijue pinched her waist.
"Ah!"
Xia An 'an cried out in shock. Her entire body began to tremble. Her waist was a sensitive part of her body. Once someone touched her, she would go limp. She squirmed uneasily on Si Lijue's thighs and glared at him. "What are you doing?"
Si Lijue glanced at her and said, "You haven't been resting well recently. Look at how thin you've become."
"Uh …" Xia An 'an expressed that she was also in despair. She had been eating a lot more than usual, but her weight hadn't gone up. Instead, it was dropping rapidly. She weakly explained, "I've been eating well, but it's not my fault that I can't gain weight …"
Si Lijue saw that she still dared to quibble and pinched her nose harshly. "When you're on a business trip, eat your meals accordingly. If you lose weight, see how I'll deal with you."
Xia An 'an knew that Si Lijue wasn't joking with her. He would definitely deal with her.
She quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "I know, I know. I'll definitely feed myself until I gain weight!"
As she spoke, she kissed Si Lijue on the cheek and said obediently, "Ah Jue, you're the best to me. So I want to repay you with my best."
Si Lijue was very pleased with Xia An 'an's flattery.
The corners of his lips curved upwards, indicating that his mood had improved. Xia An 'an secretly sighed in relief. Then she said, "You're still talking about me. Aren't you the one who's not taking care of your body? I just heard that you haven't eaten since then. Are you trying to become a deity? If I come back and find out that you haven't eaten,
I'll teach you a lesson! "
Si Lijue raised his brows. "Oh? How are you going to teach me a lesson? "
There was a hint of teasing in his words. It looked more like he was teasing her.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Xia An 'an couldn't help but blush again. Her eyes flashed as she noticed the porridge on the table. She quickly changed the topic and said, "Oh right, the porridge I brought over is almost cold. Hurry and eat it while it's hot!"
Si Lijue glanced at the porridge. He didn't take it. Instead, he said slowly, "You can feed me."
Xia An 'an glared at Si Lijue with a red face and said, "Don't you have hands?"
"Hmm?"
The tone of the voice took a turn and then fell on the accent.
His imposing manner made Xia An 'an, this good-for-nothing, kneel under Si Lijue's tyrannical power. She said timidly, "Fine, I'll feed you!"
Xia An 'an picked up the porridge and scooped a spoonful to feed Si Lijue. However, he didn't eat. Xia An said, "Open your mouth."
Si Lijue tilted his head slightly and raised his eyebrows. "Did I say to feed me with a spoon?"
Xia An 'an didn't know how to react.
What else could she use if not a spoon?
