"Ah Li, I'm sorry I'm late. Something came up. Xiao Zhe has been with you all day. Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Ye Shi arrived, she pulled Su Li aside and said apologetically.

“It’s okay, I like this child very much too. I was thinking that it would be fine if you didn’t come, he would sleep with me tonight.”

"Xiao Zhe, say goodbye to your auntie, we're going home."

Xiao Zhe waved to Su Li, then hugged her again before reluctantly leaving.

Ye Shi carried Xiao Zhe out, and Fu Zelian got out of the car, took the child, and got into the car together.

Su Li watched their car drive away, and this was what a warm and loving family of three looked like.

Suddenly, a strong and powerful arm climbed around her waist, and the man's cool aura drew her closer.

Quan Ye leaned close to her neck and breathed softly, "Trying to get the little brat to stay overnight, are you deliberately avoiding me?"

Su Li turned her head away from his touch, and said awkwardly, "No, I just think this child is quite cute."

"This little kid doesn't understand anything. What do you like about him?"

This madman can't even be jealous of a child?

Su Li turned around and said weakly, "Master Quan, let me run you a bath. Get some rest, you'll be busy tomorrow."

He gently lifted her chin. "You look best when you're obedient."

The next second, Su Li was pulled into the bathroom by him.

"Mr. Quan, I haven't prepared your bath water yet..."

"Let's shower together, it'll save water."

However, what follows will be more than just a shower...

At the Fu family villa, Ye Shi had just finished putting the child to sleep, and Xiao Zhe was sleeping soundly in her arms.

There was a figure moving outside the door. She looked up and said softly, "Come in."

The person who came in was the nanny who was in charge of taking care of Xiao Zhe.

"Madam, I'll take care of the young master tonight. You should go back to your room and rest."

Ye Shi frowned slightly. "He contacted me?"

"The sir wants you to come over."

Ye Shi tightened her grip on the child slightly, a hint of panic flashing between her brows.

She and Fu Zelian have been sleeping in separate beds for a long time, and Xiao Zhe can only fall asleep if he is with her every night.

But if Fu Zelian looks for her, then something must be wrong.

"Madam, please go ahead, I'll take care of things here."

The nanny looked at her, hesitant to speak, but the meaning was clear: she had to go tonight.

"knew."

Ye Shi slowly released the child, got out of bed, and changed into a conservative nightgown.

Before leaving, she instructed the nanny, "Xiao Zhe likes to kick off the covers at night, so please keep an eye on him."

"OK."

The main light in the master bedroom was still on. The man had taken a shower, changed into a bathrobe, and was sitting at the table reading documents.

The light shone on him, making him look handsome and charming.

Ye Shi walked in, glanced at him nervously, and then deliberately left the door open.

"Did you need something from me?"

He looked up and his gaze fell on her.

Wearing long sleeves and trousers, he was completely covered up, with all the buttons fastened to the top.

What is she trying to protect herself from?

He lowered his eyes indifferently and gave a cold "hmm".

Ye Shi walked to the desk. "Then you speak, I'm listening."

Fu Zelian placed a photo on the table and, with a chilling expression, instructed, "Quan Ye will be leaving Yucheng and returning to Haicheng in a couple of days. Find some time tomorrow or the day after to give this to Su Li and tell her that I need her help to find out who bought this item at the auction when she returns to Haicheng."

Ye Shi picked up the photo and glanced at it. It was old and blurry, so she could only vaguely make out that it was a pair of earrings.

Why are you looking into this?

Fu Zelian raised her cold eyes slightly, and she immediately changed her words, "What I mean is, you had such a big problem with Ali before, so why do you suddenly want to ask her for help this time? Besides, Haicheng is Master Quan's territory, why don't you just ask him for help?"

“Su Li has been by Quan Ye’s side for many years and knows all about various industries. Although I have some complaints about her, that doesn’t stop me from asking her to do things. I will pay her if she does a good job. Quan Ye and I only have a business relationship, so it’s not appropriate for me to ask him to do these things directly. Understand?”

"Oh, I see."

Ye Shi took the photo down, thinking he was alright, and turned to leave.

"Sleep here tonight."

"What?" She turned around, her face filled with panic, and instinctively clutched the collar of her clothes.
