Chapter 17
“Sis, sister… in-law?”
Li Shao’s eyes widened, refusing to believe that the woman playing the piano in the restaurant was actually the lunatic from the Tang family!
1If he had known that the rumored lunatic was so gorgeous, he would have married her right away!
“Brother Yun, I didn’t know she was my sister-in-law… Brother Yun, I was wrong! Look, Sister-in-law has already vented her anger, my head is still in pain!” Li Shao held his bleeding forehead and begged for mercy.
“Wen Xi, freeze all the money the company has allocated to him every month, and stop paying Li Haodong and his son any salary. From today, they will have nothing to do with Li Enterprise!”
Wen Xi glanced at Li Shao with sympathy. Served him right for barking up the wrong tree. Boss had always been harsher towards those who begged for mercy.
1…
At around half past nine in the evening, Tang Xin was feeling anxious in the room, and this anxiety had been continuous since she had returned.
In the afternoon when she had followed Li Yunshen out of the restaurant, he had just given her a deep look before instructing the driver to send her back.
She hadn’t believed that he would let her go so easily.
“Sir…”
She suddenly heard Sister Liu’s voice coming from downstairs.
Her body stiffened as she laid on the bed.
He was back?
It was a little early, would he go out again? He would usually go out again if he came back early.
Li Yunshen opened the door of the room and saw the person on the bed as usual taking up only a third of it and sleeping sideways. He only took a glance before ripping off his tie, then he took off his shirt and went into the bathroom.
Tang Xin, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, heaved a sigh of relief, but the sound of water in the bathroom made her tense up immediately, and she prayed that he would not make things difficult for her.
Ten minutes later, she heard the bathroom door open. Her body stiffened, and she held her breath.
The man’s footsteps came towards her. She closed her eyes tightly, hoping that he was just looking at the photo on the bedside table.
Soon, the bedside drawer was pulled open, and something was thrown in front of her. A cold voice said with certainty, “Who are you trying to fool?”
After being seen through, Tang Xin’s heart trembled, and she had no choice but to open her eyes. She saw the hair dryer on the bed, and then saw that he was already sitting in front of the dressing table. She quickly got up, took the hair dryer and walked over to dry his hair.
Her soft hands passed through his wet black hair, and the hair dryer made a low sound.
His hair was thin but strong, exuding freshness after having been shampooed, and the face in the mirror softened slightly because of him dozing off.
His hair was blown dry. When Tang Xin switched off the hairdryer, she hesitated for a moment before thanking him in the mirror timidly: “Thank you.”
After speaking, she turned around and walked away, afraid to look at him.
Li Yunshen quickly pulled her into his arms and played with the hair hanging down her chest. “You love playing piano?”
Tang Xin stiffened her body and didn’t dare to move. She forced a nod and looked timidly into his emotionless black eyes.
Then, he let go of her and lit a cigarette, “Take it off.”
“I… I don’t quite understand what you mean.” Tang Xin stood in front of him, grabbing the neckline of her nightdress tightly and feeling very uneasy.
The man took a puff, and the thin smoke enveloped him, making it impossible to see him clearly.
“How did you get to learn piano outside, huh?” Li Yunshen pulled her over again and blew the cigarette smoke at her.
The pungent smell of cigarettes made Tang Xin cough, and her small hand rested weakly on his shoulder.
“You have to exchange it with something if you want to learn, have you forgotten this?” Li Yunshen took another puff of the cigarette before snubbing it out.
