"What did you say?"
Chu Shishi's exclamation sounded in the earphones.
At night, Xia Li sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a Bluetooth headset on. A cup of steaming milk and a laptop were placed on the small table in front of him.
After watching Xie Yin leave Tingyuan today, the tight string in Xia Li's mind finally fell.
For some reason, after receiving the certificate with Xie Yin, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he went on a business trip after receiving the certificate.
Xia Lin looked at Chu Shishi's slightly shocked face displayed on the computer and repeated:
"Xie Yin and I received the certificate."
Chu Shishi at the other end of the video almost choked on her own saliva, and she suddenly patted her chest:
"Li Li, are you really not kidding me?"
Not long ago, they said that the two were just friends.
Why did I get the certificate within a few days?
Is this normal?
Is this reasonable?
When can friends also receive certificates?
And the person receiving the certificate is still Xie Yin?
Chu Shishi cried out in her heart that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Xia Li picked up the hot milk next to the computer and took a sip: "I'm not kidding you."
Chu Shishi was confused.
She raised her hand and pinched her arm hard. Even though there was clear pain in her arm, she still felt that this must be a dream.
Xia Li explained the cause, process and result in detail. Chu Shishi on the computer screen took a long time to digest it before she came back to her senses.
"That means...you only have a contractual relationship?"
Xia Li nodded.
She licked her milk-stained lips and whispered:
"Actually, I'm not at a loss if I think about it. After all, it only took a year to marry him, but he promised to help the Xia family close the loopholes in their financial chain."
The Xia family's shortfall in capital and the debts they owed were a large amount of money, which was equivalent to a year's work for her to exchange for the money.
Coupled with Xie Yin's status in the circle, at least she doesn't have to worry about the Xia family's future in the next year.
No matter how he thought about it, Xia Li felt that he was the one who made the profit.
Chu Shishi at the other end of the video said sincerely:
"Li Li, but you have forgotten that Xie Yin is a businessman."
How can a businessman have any reason to let himself suffer?
Although she has never been in contact with Xie Yin, she knows that there is absolutely no second person in the entire business circle who is more terrifying and cold-blooded than Xie Yin.
Now, as she watched her best little sister fall into Xie Yin's palm through the screen, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"I know he is a businessman," Xia Li pursed his lower lip and said, "but my dealings with him are purely based on interests."
A year later, the two divorced.
From then on, she returned to the Xia family and continued her life.
And Xie Yin may have returned to Hong Kong City and continued to sit in the position of the head of the Xie family.
Chu Shishi on the other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds before expressing her worries:
"Li Li, I'm afraid that you will fall in love with Xie Yin and break your heart."
Although it is a mutually beneficial transaction, the time span is really too long.
Xia Li has never been in love before, and her thoughts are simple and delicate.
Just like a piece of white paper, it can easily be stained by the colors left by others.
She was worried that Xia Li would fall in love with Xie Yin after spending a long time with him and be further hurt by the man.
After all, men who have prospered in this circle usually have a good time.
Even though Xie Yin has never made any gossip since he took office, this does not mean that he will not do so in the future.
What if one day in the future, Xia Li really has true feelings for Xie Yin.
In the end, only Xia Li will be injured.
Ye Ye, who had just finished eating, came to Xia Li's side with his tail wagging, and naturally rubbed his head against Xia Li's calf.
Xia Li leaned forward slightly, reached out and rubbed Ye Ye's round head, and whispered to Chu Shishi at the other end of the video:
"Shishi, I can still distinguish between feelings and interests."
"...."
At the same time, in Tan Palace in the port city.
The man who had changed into home clothes lost his usual sense of seriousness and sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor with his computer, his long and handsome fingertips gently sliding the touch screen of the computer.
The man's fingertips on the touch pad paused slightly. He put the computer aside, leaned over and took the cigarette case from the table in front of him.
As the smoke filled the air, Xie Yin took off the gold-framed glasses on his face with one hand.
He casually leaned on the sofa cushions behind him and pinched his eyebrows with a slight headache.
Xie Beixiao has been stable so far, unlike his usual style, but the more stable he is, the greater the threat he poses to Xie Yin.
Today he rushed back to Hong Kong City for a meeting. The latest news he learned from his subordinates was that Xie Beixiao was recently busy setting up a Microsoft company in China. He heard that it was focusing on AI intelligence.
The Wanjia Group under Xie Yin also set up an AI intelligence department not long before Xie Beixiao returned to China, and in just one week, the entire AI software developed was directly worth tens of billions.
This AI software developed by Wanjia Group is now used around the world and can be said to be the most intelligent of all AI currently on the market.
Xie Beixiao's move is nothing more than trying to steal the piece of AI intelligence cake from Xie Yin's hands.
Xie Yin naturally would not sit idly by.
Since you want to snatch this cake from his hands, you have to see if the current owner of this cake is willing to give it to others.
In the large living room of Tan Palace, warm yellow light poured down and fell on the man who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating.
After a long time, he slowly opened his tired eyes and put out the cigarette that was about to burn out in the ashtray on the table.
He grabbed the mobile phone placed aside and opened the chat box with Xia Li.
The chat history between the two is still fixed on the simple voice call last night.
Xie Yin's brows furrowed slightly without realizing it, and the fingertips holding the phone gently rubbed the frame of the phone.
Finally, he pressed the video call button.
Xie Yin looked at the video call on the screen that had not yet been connected, and lowered his eyes slightly.
Just a second before the system was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the phone finally answered the call.
"Mr. Xie?"
Xia Li, who had just taken a shower, was standing in the bathroom holding her mobile phone. She was wearing a white deep V lace suspender nightgown and was wiping her wet hair with a clean white towel.
The undried water stains on her bangs slowly slid down the girl's cheeks.
Under the light of the bathroom light, the slowly flowing water droplets shimmered softly.
It slowly slides from the girl's tight and small cheeks to the white swan neck and finally disappears into the deep V neckline that attracts people's imagination.
In the misty mist, the girl's long, thick ink-colored hair cascaded wetly behind her. The deep V neckline revealed a large area of the girl's smooth and fair skin, and the looming collarbone was particularly eye-catching.
Xie Yin's hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten a little.
The man's eyes suddenly darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He saw Xie Yin on the other end of the phone staring directly at him, but said nothing.
Xia Li stopped wiping his hair with a towel in confusion, cleared his throat and shouted again:
"Mr. Xie?"
The girl's gentle voice came from the mobile phone, which suddenly brought the man's thoughts back.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Xie Yin put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "Well, did you just take a shower?"
"Yes."
Xia Li didn't notice anything wrong with the way Xie Yin looked at him, and put the towel on the sink nearby:
"Mr. Xie, what's the matter with calling so late?"
The man returned to his usual calm demeanor, and his plain tone made it impossible to find any flaws:
"I wanted to see Ye Ye, but I accidentally disturbed your bath."
"It's okay," Xia Li didn't bother to put on the hair drying cap and pushed open the bathroom door, "Ye Ye is right outside the door, Mr. Xie, look."
While she was talking, she had already turned the camera to focus on Yeye, who was lying obediently in front of the bathroom door.
When Ye Ye saw Xia Li coming out with her cell phone, she immediately raised her head, grinned and stuck out her tongue.
The man on the other end of the phone raised his eyes slightly and asked calmly:
"Did you let it go into the master bedroom?"
"No."
Aunt Zhou said that Mr. Xie never allowed Yeye to follow him into the master bedroom.
In the few short days that Xia Li got along with Yeye, he suddenly became accustomed to Yeye's presence in the room.
In addition, after much thought, Xia Li felt that it was inappropriate for her to sleep in the master bedroom, so she asked Aunt Zhou to help her organize a guest bedroom.
Xia Li quickly explained in a low voice:
"Mr. Xie, I think it's more appropriate for me to sleep in the guest bedroom."
Although she carries the title of "Mrs. Xie," Xia Li clearly knows that she should not exceed the rules.
The smile that finally appeared on the corner of the man's mouth in the video quickly disappeared because of her words.
Even the tone of his words became a little deeper:
"What do you mean you think it's more suitable to sleep in the guest bedroom?"
The man's gloomy voice contained a magnetic and intimidating force.
Xia Li felt a sudden chill running down her spine. She swallowed nervously and stammered in a low voice:
"I, I heard from Aunt Zhou that Mr. Xie didn't like letting Ye Ye enter the master bedroom, so I asked Aunt Zhou to clean up another guest room for me..."
"and......"
In the end, Xia Li really didn't have the courage to tell another reason, fearing that she would make the man angry if she told the truth.
Now Xie Yin is not only her husband in name, but also her "funder father".
She didn't want to offend her "funder father".
"And what?"
The man's voice was dull, making it impossible to understand his mood at the moment.
Xia Li pursed her lips, but the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xie Yin only felt angry and helpless.
He let out a long sigh.
"Thank you, Mrs."
The man's throat lowered slightly, and his deep and low gaze locked her tightly through the screen.
The low-pitched and somewhat deep voice fell into Xia Li's ears, making her eyelashes tremble involuntarily.
The thin powder on the girl's cheeks that had finally disappeared quickly climbed up again because of the man's "Thank you, Mrs."
Xia Li looked away from the screen in panic, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the man on the screen.
Across the screen, Xie Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the faint blush on the girl's face. The girl's confused look looked particularly cute in his eyes.
Xie Yin slowly leaned forward and picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip, suppressing the faint itching in his throat.
He raised his eyes, and Qingyue's low-pitched voice fell gently on Xia Li's ears, as if it had been polished by sandpaper.
"How can there be any reason to sleep in separate rooms after getting the certificate?"
Xia Li was confused: "W-what?"
"I said, I have no idea of sleeping in separate rooms yet."
The magnetic voice once again spread a tingling current in her ears, making her heart tingle.
"Thank you, Mrs."
