Chapter 36: Going to His Place to Stay

Li Qianming didn’t reply and just picked up his phone to send a message.
Within a few minutes, the little fella saw a few middle-aged men who looked like reporters coming down from upstairs and walking out.
At this moment, Chi Yaoxi was anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room. What was going on? She couldn’t even leave her own house. She didn’t even have her own personal freedom.
Chi Yaoxi was fretting over what to do when she received another call from the little fellow.
“Mommy, look outside.”
Chi Yaoxi walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.?Eh? That’s strange! Where were the reporters who were waiting? Why was there no one outside? How could such hard-to-deal media reporters retreat just like that??Chi Yaoxi looked at the empty corridor at the door, dumbfounded. It had only been a few minutes, but the plot had changed too quickly!
Chi Yaoxi stared at the peephole for a long time without coming back to her senses. Before she hung up, the little guy’s voice came from inside. “Mommy, come down quickly. Daddy and I are waiting for you downstairs.”
She had to hurry up and be careful of the reporters making a comeback.
Chi Yaoxi carried her luggage and went out cautiously. She looked left and right to make sure there were no reporters around before she took a few steps and went into the elevator.
From afar, he saw his mommy pulling her luggage and carrying her bag as she slowly walked over. The little guy pushed Li Qianming’s arm and pointed in the direction Chi Yaoxi walked over. “Daddy, hurry up and go down to help. It’s time for you to show your gentlemanliness again. Mommy has taken so many things that she can’t carry them anymore.”
Li Qianming couldn’t help but smile as he listened to the little fellow talk reason with him in his childish voice and talk about being a gentleman.
He opened the car door and strode toward Chi Yaoxi. He arrived in front of Chi Yaoxi and did not say anything. He just reached out to take the suitcase and handbag, turned around and walked back.
Chi Yaoxi was relaxed as she obediently followed behind the man. From time to time, she would raise her head and watch the man walk with wide strides from behind, and her heart stirred again.
This man was tall and handsome. He looked domineering and strong. If he wasn’t so cold, and would be more gentle, more women would like him.
Back at the villa, Auntie Wu said that she had already tidied up the room.
Chi Yaoxi brought the items to the room upstairs. When she pushed open the door, her face was full of surprise.
The pink quilt, the pink pillow, and even the curtains had changed into a warm color. It was very different from when she came over to stay the previous time. In an instant, Chi Yaoxi felt her mood lighten up.?Who designed this according to her wishes??Chi Yaoxi’s long-awaited maiden heart was warmed.?It’s the little guy, isn’t it? He’s such a warm boy.
Chi Yaoxi smiled gratefully when she saw Auntie Wu walking past the corridor. “Thank you, Auntie Wu, for helping me tidy my room so early. Thank you!”
“Miss Chi, you’re welcome. It was President Li who instructed me to choose a set of warm-colored bed accessories. I chose this set. Do you like it?”
Chi Yaoxi nodded and paused at the door of the room.?Li Qianming? That ice-cold man actually thought of these things??Chi Yaoxi felt that this was a bit inconceivable. This was completely different from the rough and straight man in her eyes. She did not expect that behind the man’s coldness and sternness was a delicate and gentle side. Chi Yaoxi could not help but smile lightly.?It’s quite alright. It’s a plus for men.
Chi Yaoxi stayed in the villa peacefully for two days. During the day, the little fellow and Li Qianming would go out, so she would quietly read books and do yoga. At night, she ate with the little guy and listened to him talk about some news about kindergarten. Before she slept, she told him stories. Chi Yaoxi felt that time passed very quickly.
It was Saturday again. The little fellow had not woken up yet. Chi Yaoxi was doing yoga upstairs when she heard the voices of outsiders coming from downstairs.
“It’s none of your business. Just do your job as a servant!
There seemed to be sounds of an argument. Chi Yaoxi hurriedly went downstairs and saw a woman dressed in a flirtatious dress, wearing a flowery dress, loudly criticizing Auntie Wu.
“Just focus on your work and cut the crap! Do you know who I am? If you don’t, I’ll fire you!”
Chi Yaoxi was stunned.?It was that arrogant woman Wu Shu again! What was she doing here? Why was she causing trouble again?
Auntie Wu was wearing an apron and holding a cloth in her hands. When she saw Wu Shu’s fierce expression as she lectured her, she didn’t have the energy to say anything. She stood at the side with her head slightly lowered, looking like she had been bullied.
Hearing a sound coming from the stairs, Wu Shu turned her head. With a fake smile on her face, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Chi Yaoxi.
“Miss Chi Yaoxi, you’ve been very popular recently. Your fame has shaken the world!”
Chi Yaoxi listened to these sarcastic words without batting an eyelid. She had done nothing wrong and had a good conscience. She slowly walked down the stairs and looked straight ahead. She stared meaningfully at Wu Shu and said calmly, “Li Qianming isn’t at home. It’s not appropriate for you to be here.”
Seeing Chi Yaoxi’s calm appearance, Wu Shu’s heart began to burn with anger. This woman was clearly in big trouble and had completely fallen. She no longer had the glory of the past, but she still lived in Li Qianming’s big villa and clung to the man who should have been hers!
From the way she spoke and the look in her eyes, she should have been down and out, yet she still dared to be so smug and arrogant!
Wu Shu stared fiercely at Chi Yaoxi and thought angrily in her heart:?Chi Yaoxi! Since you don’t admit defeat, just wait and see. I will make you lose until the end!
But when Wu Shu thought of Li Qianming’s attitude towards her, she still didn’t dare to offend this woman.
Although she was already furious in her heart, she tried her best to control her emotions and pretended to be calm. “Miss Chi, you’re thinking too much. It’s okay if Qianming isn’t at home now. I’ll wait patiently for him to come back. Besides, we can talk about life together and get along well.”
Seeing that Chi Yaoxi didn’t respond to her words, Wu Shu turned her head and changed her attitude to that of an order. She then ordered Auntie Wu who was working at the side:
“Bring the groceries that I bought at the door over! Wash everything that needs to be washed and cook lunch early!”
Auntie Wu had no choice but to slowly walk towards the door. This fierce-looking woman had been here before and even said that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Li Family. She told her not to say anything and to listen to orders. Auntie Wu shook her head and thought to herself, if the Li Family will take such a woman as their wife, there will be more trouble in the future.
Auntie Wu felt that Miss Chi’s character was not bad. However, she had never asked much about the Li Family and did not know about the complicated relationship between them.
Chi Yaoxi remained silent and did not respond. Wu Shu did not know how to vent his anger, but when she saw Auntie Wu walking slowly, her temper flared up again. “I say, what’s the matter with you? You didn’t wash your dirty hands clean and took things. I bought high-end ingredients. Don’t dirty them!”
