Chapter 42
Wen Xi frowned and asked when he opened the door and saw the worried Tang Xin outside.
Tang Xin suddenly recovered from her thoughts and her eyes flickered a little, “I’ve brought dinner up.”
“Um,” Wen Xi nodded and left.
Tang Xin gently opened the door of the study, closed it gently, and then walked in softly.
The study was very stylish, filled with both classic and modern charm, and the combination of the two didn’t clash at all.
At the desk, he was working earnestly and attentively with his head down. His sophisticated, thin lips were pressed into a cool-looking line, which made others not dare to disturb him.
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to bring the food over or put it on the coffee table first.
“Leave it on the coffee table,” the man who was serious at work suddenly said without looking up.
She was taken aback and quickly followed his order.
After putting down the food, she fidgeted as she stood where she was.
“Anything else?” Li Yunshen stamped and signed on the transfer contract, closed the file, raised his head, and looked straight at her.
Tang Xin became more nervous after he suddenly looked so sharply at her.
“Will you also be back early tomorrow?” She remembered what he had said—to look at him when talking to him, even if his eyes were extremely terrifying.
Li Yunshen’s face sank, “Is there anything?”
Tomorrow was a very important day for him, why did she have to ask about his whereabouts tomorrow?
“No, nothing… come have your dinner before it turns cold, I’ll go out first,” Tang Xin said in one breath and then quickly fled.
She did notice that his already cold eyes had become more sullen.
After going out of the study and closing the door for him, she saw Wen Xi standing outside the door before she had a chance to let out a sigh of relief, looking as though he was waiting for her to come out.
“You really shouldn’t think of taking up Boss’s time tomorrow,” Wen Xi warned her with good intention. He had stopped after hearing her stupid question.
“I was just casually asking, I dare not think.”
She just didn’t want to be alone tomorrow. After so many years, it was the first time she wanted to have someone accompany her on this day, even if the person she had chosen was very annoying and hated her.
“Remember the day tomorrow, 28th May, never ever think of taking up even a second of Boss’s time on this day, otherwise you’re just courting death!” Wen Xi warned seriously.
Hearing this, Tang Xin’s heart trembled, “What’s wrong with this day?”
A bad feeling hit her, why did it have to be this day?
“If everyone has a dark day, then that day would be the only dark day for Boss every year! That’s all I have to say, take care of yourself, Madam.” After that, Wen Xi gave her a slight nod and turned to go downstairs.
He had already revealed too much. If he continued further, he could be the one to die first.
28th May every year?
Ha… there was no need for her to remember this day, as it had already been engraved in her mind since she was born.
Tang Xin stood still and smiled bitterly for a long time.
That night, Li Yunshen didn’t return to the room. She couldn’t fall asleep despite wearing the eye mask. It turned out that she had unknowingly become used to having him around at night.
…
At about six o’clock, Tang Xin heard Li Yunshen return to the room to wash up before changing clothes and going downstairs. His pace was steady and heavy, without any pauses in between.
She took off her eye mask, got out of bed barefoot, ran out of the room, and came to the French window overlooking the entrance hall and the gate.
It was drizzling outside, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, looking very gloomy.
She saw that he was wearing a solemn black suit. After taking a large bunch of baby’s breath from Sister Liu, he went under the black umbrella held by Wen Xi and got into the car.
