"Hey, why did Handsome Li think of contacting me again? It's time for him to be free?"
The woman opposite the video has a pretty face, is wearing a white coat, and has a generous and professional aura.
"Can you come or not?"
Li Xingye's expressionless face was in sharp contrast to the smiling eyes opposite him.
The woman thought about it seriously, and then said with a sudden smile: "I am quite busy. Unlike Master Li, he drinks and has fun all day long with a beautiful woman in his arms."
There were piles of unfinished documents and several medical books on the table.
Li Xingye pinched his eyebrows and said in a serious and calm tone: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
The woman frowned slightly and looked at Li Xingye opposite.
He is usually very carefree, but why is he so cold-faced today?
It's rare to be serious, so she won't be polite.
She supported her chin with the back of her hand: "Master Li, you are a businessman. Shouldn't you negotiate the terms first when doing business?"
"I can invest in the research and development expenses of your hospital in the next three years."
There was no bargaining as expected, and Li Xingye readily agreed.
Although he is not a stingy person, he always feels weird.
"Who is he, worthy of your trouble?"
"woman?"
"Still a man?"
"..." Li Xingye tightened his hand slightly and said coldly, "Are you finished?"
The woman looked at his gritted teeth expression and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he immediately picked up his phone: "I'll book a flight now! I'll be in China tomorrow morning!"
Li Xingye paused and asked again, "Is she busy?"
The woman stared at the ticket booking software and said, "Teacher, she is still the same. But recently she suddenly mentioned that you are of marriageable age, and she wants to introduce you to me!"
"Actually, Master Li is a bit too carefree, but considering that you are so handsome and young, I can reluctantly accept it -"
"Du-du--"
Li Xingye hung up the video with an expressionless expression.
Silence fell back into the room.
…
Restart the phone after charging.
Tang Qingwan saw more than a hundred missed calls.
There is no note number.
But she recognized it was Li Xingye calling.
It happened to be the time she was under house arrest today.
And, a text message from Li Siyan, reminding her that the Miao family's youngest daughter would have a yacht party in a week.
Invite her to come along.
Other than that, no questions asked.
When we went downstairs to eat, the housekeeper said: "Miss Tang, the young master asked you to eat more. If there is nothing on the table for what you want, please tell the kitchen to make it."
Tang Qingwan looked at the dishes on the table, most of which were her favorites: "No, these are enough."
She looked up into the closed study.
Li Xingye was not seen coming out.
"He won't eat?"
The housekeeper said respectfully: "The young master has something to deal with, so I won't accompany you. However, if you want to find him, you can go directly to his room."
Tang Qingwan clenched her chopsticks and whispered, "I can come to him if I need anything."
The butler smiled kindly and went down.
Tang Qingwan lowered her eyes and glanced at the bowl of rock sugar snow pears next to her.
Breath hitches.
It's like countless fine twine wrapping around the heart veins, getting tighter and tighter.
She was even more convinced of a terrifying fact - he had been to her private villa last night.
Everything that happened is real.
In the study.
Li Xingye stretched out his right hand. Under the Buddhist beads, there was a scar on his wrist that had not yet faded away.
He stared for a moment, picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, suppressing his unstable mood.
Thinking back to what happened last night, he still felt frightened.
This disabled hand saved Tang Qingwan's life yesterday.
"What’s wrong with you!"
Tang Qingwan pressed her forehead against the carpet, trembling all over, and her coughs became more intense.
He helped her up, her back pressed against his chest, her head tilted to one side weakly, her face pale, and she kept coughing.
Li Xingye was completely confused and was about to make a call when he heard Tang Qingwan's hoarse and weak voice: "Hand... give me your hand..."
He took a shaky breath and carefully took out his hand: "I, what should I do?"
"Hold...cough cough cough...cover..." Her hand that was originally on his arm fell weakly.
Tears wet his sleeves.
Li Xingye's eyes were red, and his misty eyes swayed slightly.
In her fragmented language, the key message is captured.
He instantly covered her mouth and nose with his palms.
He covered her tightly and let her head rest on the crook of his neck.
The violent cough turned into a thin sob.
Her hot tears burned his cold right hand.
A long while.
The feeling of suffocation made her calm down little by little, and the rise and fall of her chest gradually stabilized.
When he let go again, Tang Qingwan lost consciousness and leaned against him quietly.
Breathing was tired and weak, but gradually became evener...
He let out a long sigh of relief, and his right hand trembled violently. It was even numb, so cold that he lost consciousness, and fell to the carpet.
There is a slightly cool crystal feel on the palm.
"Dong dong——"
There was a knock on the door, and Tang Qingwan walked in.
interrupted his thoughts.
Li Xingye's eyes moved to the person at the door.
A pair of delicate calves are exposed under the skirt, her waist is as sultry as a willow tree, and her long hair is as fluffy and smooth as seaweed.
An elegant face, bright red lips, and a pair of light brown eyes, smart and sparkling.
It felt like she was back four years ago, when she pushed the door open and walked in, having a ridiculous night.
She was obviously the one who provoked him first, but she became the woman in someone else's bed.
Now it is about to reappear in his life.
He left casually and came back casually.
He raised his eyes, filled with dark and unclear emotions.
Just a sip of wine made my heart burn.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Again, he was hiding in the dark, and she was standing in the light.
"Nothing...are you busy?" She was obviously uncomfortable and guilty.
"You eavesdropped." Li Xingye exposed it directly.
Tang Qingwan was a little embarrassed: "I knocked on the door, but you didn't open the door after knocking several times."
So she opened the door directly.
Li Xingye didn't care: "Does today's dish suit your appetite?"
"that's it."
To be honest, the bowl of rock sugar snow pear was the most delicious to her tonight.
Unexpectedly, this man became angry again: "You are really not afraid of something getting inside."
"..."
She never thought he would drug herself.
For no reason, her vigilance seemed to automatically weaken when facing him.
"Tell me something."
Tang Qingwan clenched her palms.
"What happened last night, just pretend it didn't happen, okay?"
