The next day, Li Xi woke up with an infinite hope for the future. After breakfast, she started texting Mian Lao Si.
However, no matter what Li Xi sent, Mian Lao Si didn't respond. He also thought about making a voice call, but the call was cut off as soon as the ringtone rang.
At the end of the day, Li Xi scrolled through their chat boxes, only to find it was all green. She was so angry she nearly threw her phone to the ground.
Luckily, I came to my senses the moment I was about to smash something. If I couldn't smash the phone, I'd smash the pillow.
When Luo Jingxuan returned home, he saw this scene: a little girl in pajamas, with her hair tied in a bun, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, pounding a pillow furiously and cursing non-stop.
Generally speaking, Luo Jingxuan disliked people who had no manners, especially those who sat or stood inappropriately and used foul language. But at this moment, the little girl sitting under the orange light seemed a little cute to him.
However, it was only a little bit, and only at this moment. The momentary impulse quickly subsided, and Luo Jingxuan became the cold-faced boss again.
Luo Jingxuan didn't think about saying hello, but Assistant Jiang, who pushed him in, had to say hello out of politeness and status.
"Good evening, Miss Li."
Li Xi, who was pounding the pillow vigorously, was startled by the sound. She turned around suddenly, but no one was there and her neck was twisted.
There was a "click" sound, and Li Xi couldn't hold it back and cried out in pain, "hiss~"
At this moment, Li Xi no longer cared about her image. She covered her neck and started screaming.
Luo Jingxuan and Assistant Jiang were speechless when they heard this. But since the person was in so much pain, it was not good to add insult to injury.
Concern? Luo Jingxuan wouldn't have that. So it was Assistant Jiang who spoke up, "Ms. Li, are you okay?"
Are you okay? Are you okay? Is that human language?
The pain made her already bad mood even worse. Li Xi endured the discomfort in her neck and twisted her body. After making sure her eyes met Assistant Jiang's, she rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Assistant Jiang was silent for a moment, and finally decided to go find Uncle Wu. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll go find Uncle Wu to get safflower oil." After that, he ran away.
Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan were left staring at each other.
When she met Luo Jingxuan's cold face, Li Xi suddenly lost her temper towards Assistant Jiang's arrogance and smiled awkwardly twice, "Boss Luo, you're back. Ahahaha."
Luo Jingxuan politely said "hmm" and nothing more happened. He didn't leave, nor did he talk to Li Xi.
Li Xi laughed awkwardly twice and sat up straight on the sofa. She rubbed her aching neck while complaining inwardly.
What a loser! Why do you get scared the moment you see him? He often has a cold face, but he's handsome! He's a man of few words, but he's not rude! He doesn't talk much, but he's not rude! He doesn't have a warm voice, but he has a nice voice. You're a voice control and a face control, so it's okay if you're not crazy about him, but why are you so scared of him? Where's your usual cleverness?
Before traveling through time, Li Xi had a little bit of social anxiety, but because of the nature of her job, she could chat with anyone. When she was in a bad mood or facing someone she didn't like, it was normal for her to argue with them.
Shen Zhou's worth is quite high, isn't it? Li Xi can't stand him, so she's just as aggressive as she wants, isn't she? While her status as Luo Jingxuan's wife might also have given her some confidence, it's also true that she's not afraid of Shen Zhou.
But when facing Luo Jingxuan, the cleverness developed through work will disappear, and only the socially anxious and timid Li Xi will be left.
Normally, Li Xi would only reveal her true self and express her emotions in front of those close to her. For example, with Su Yu, Li Xi would say and act according to her thoughts, acting like a spoiled child or playing tricks with ease. When she was angry, she wanted comfort; when she was sad, she wanted understanding; when she was happy, she wanted praise.
When it comes to someone she's not too close to, like Assistant Jiang, Li Xi's emotions are disguised versions of herself. If she's angry, she'll just roll her eyes and continue the "polite conversation."
Luo Jingxuan was nominally her husband, but in reality, he was just an acquaintance. Li Xi couldn't understand why, whenever she faced him, it was so difficult for her to even have a normal conversation, let alone handle it with ease. If possible, Li Xi would just retreat into her shell.
This "real" Li Xi used to only appear in the dead of night. Li Xi couldn't understand herself, and couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. The most important thing now was to become his disciple.
Harmful.
After sitting there for a while, Luo Jingxuan wanted to leave. Just as he put his hand on the wheel of the wheelchair, he heard the little girl sighing, sometimes frowning, sometimes giggling, and sometimes looking dazed.
A sudden surge of sympathy made Luo Jingxuan unable to help but speak, although his voice was still cold, "What happened?"
Li Xi didn't expect Luo Jingxuan to speak. She slowly turned around and met Luo Jingxuan's calm eyes.
At this moment, Li Xi didn't know where she got the courage from, she suddenly wanted to act like a spoiled child and ask her parents for help if she couldn't solve the problem herself!
"Yesterday I met a little girl who was cheated by a scumbag. She might be, uh, a little love-sick and doesn't believe that guy is a scumbag. I want to investigate that guy."
Li Xi looked at Luo Jingxuan's expression as she spoke, and seeing no sign of impatience in him, she continued, "I wanted to investigate on my own. I asked the detective I had contacted before if I could become his apprentice. He ignored me." As she spoke, she suddenly felt aggrieved, and her tone softened unconsciously.
"The private investigator I asked Assistant Jiang for last time?"
"Ah, no. I looked it up online myself. When Assistant Jiang gave me the contact information, I was already preparing to contact someone. I thought I'd give it a try first, and if it doesn't work out, I'll use the person Assistant Jiang recommended. The trial results are pretty good."
