When Mrs. Si saw her daughter like this, she shook her head, feeling both amused and helpless.
My son and daughter are both so disobedient; it's all because my husband and I spoiled them. Their personalities and personalities are already formed, and it's not so easy to change them now.
What could she do?
She had no choice but to go upstairs to find her husband and eldest grandson.
When Si Lili saw her mother go upstairs, she turned back to Su Niannian's side. The two exchanged a knowing smile and began to whisper to each other.
Si Lijue left the old house and didn't return all afternoon.
Unable to resist Madam Si's earnest urging, Su Niannian and her son Xibao stayed overnight at the old house.
Madam Si arranged for Su Niannian to stay in Si Lijue's room, while Xibao stayed in the children's room specially prepared for him, right next to Si Lili's.
After taking a shower, Su Niannian sat on the sofa in the bedroom wearing a silk slip dress, with a notebook in front of her and her hands constantly typing on it.
She was originally an online novelist who had recently been serializing a novel called "Love at the Corner," which tells the story of a domineering CEO who made a mistake and hurt his wife who loved him deeply. In order to completely separate from the domineering CEO, the wife faked her death, went abroad, and gave birth to a son. Later, the CEO found her and begged for reconciliation.
Unexpectedly, this book, which she wrote casually, became a hit across the internet.
This is probably what they mean by "a chance encounter leading to unexpected success"!
During this time, she was busy returning to China, going on blind dates, and engaging in a battle of wits with Si Lijue. All of her previous drafts had been sent out by the editor, and she had been on hiatus for the past two days.
Fans online are going crazy, constantly tagging her and urging her to add more episodes.
Some impatient readers even complained to the platform, saying that she was neglecting her duties and slacking off on writing.
To reciprocate the love from her idols, she had no choice but to put writing on her agenda. Fortunately, Si Lijue wasn't at the old house tonight, and Xi Bao had Si's mother and Si Lili with her, so she had some free time to write and chat with her fans.
That's how society is these days; it's not just the entertainment industry that's tough, the online literature industry is just as tough.
Everyone says the entertainment industry is a cruel place where people fight tooth and nail for everything, from good scripts to various resources.
The online literature circle is also a cruel place. Every day, tens of thousands of novelists update their works, all of them wanting to stand out and write popular works.
If you don't update your work for a few days, the data will drop, idols will abandon the book, and it will soon be replaced by other works.
However, Su Niannian is not worried about her novel being replaced.
Because she would never allow her idols to even consider abandoning the book.
As long as she keeps updating and unleashing her boundless imagination, there's no Bao'er she can't win over.
Su Niannian spent one night writing 20,000 words, sending out 10,000 words and setting the other 10,000 words to be sent tomorrow, so that she could have some buffer time.
She rubbed her stiff neck, opened the book circle to interact with her fellow readers for a while, and felt thirsty. She picked up the water glass on the table to take a sip of water, only to find that the glass was empty at some point.
She casually draped a shawl over her shoulders, took the empty water glass, and went downstairs to refill the water tank while wearing slippers.
Upon arriving on the first floor, Su Niannian went straight to the kitchen to add water. When she returned to go upstairs, she suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be sitting on the sofa.
Because it was so late, only the nightlight was on in the living room, making the light dim and obscuring the shape of the dark figure.
She flinched in fright and asked in a trembling voice, "Who's sitting there?"
"Me!" came Si Lijue's calm voice from the sofa.
Su Niannian was initially overjoyed, thinking that Si Lijue would definitely not return to the old house tonight. After all, when he left today, his expression was not good, as if he left in anger.
However, to her utter surprise, Si Lijue returned and sat motionless on the sofa in the living room. It was almost midnight, and he didn't even seem to be planning to go upstairs.
Su Niannian's heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "How long have you been sitting on the sofa? It's so late now, why don't you go upstairs to rest?"
After speaking, he squinted and carefully observed Si Lijue's expression, trying to catch a trace of emotion from his cold and stern face.
Even when the light is too dim and you can't see anything, she still does it in the habit.
Si Lijue turned his head slightly to look at her, then coldly commanded in a devoid of warmth, "Come here soon!"
These few simple words seemed to carry an irresistible force, causing Su Niannian to involuntarily lift her foot and slowly walk towards him.
When she came to his side, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol that filled the entire living room.
Su Niannian looked at the man sitting on the sofa with a surprised expression.
He's been drinking? He reeks of alcohol. Just how much did he drink?
Su Niannian frowned almost imperceptibly and asked cautiously, "You...have been drinking?"
"It was a business dinner, I had a little to drink." Si Lijue's dark, deep eyes were fixed on her face.
Su Niannian gazed tenderly into his eyes and continued softly, "Then why don't you go upstairs to rest?"
Do you feel uncomfortable having me sleep in your room?
If that's the case, it's okay, I can just go sleep in our son's room.
"I can't let my presence disturb your sleep!" he said, forcing a smile as he finished speaking.
"You don't need to sleep in your son's room, we'll sleep together tonight."
Si Lijue looked at the pretty woman in front of him, swallowed hard, and suddenly stretched out a hand to her, "Come on, help me back to my room."
Su Niannian hesitated for a moment, then placed the teacup in her hand on the table in front of the sofa, reached out and grasped Si Lijue's large hand, pulling him up from the sofa.
After Si Lijue stood up, he leaned most of his body on her shoulder, his strong arms wrapped around her shoulders, but he seemed to have no strength at all.
Su Niannian could smell the pungent smell of alcohol on him and knew that he must have drunk a lot, which was why he was unsteady on his feet and had no strength to go upstairs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting on the sofa like that.
I wonder who brought him back?
So heartless! They didn't even inform their family.
Afraid of waking the rest of the family, she had no choice but to use all her strength to drag Si Lijue from the first floor back to the bedroom on the second floor.
Upon reaching the bedside in the bedroom, Su Niannian lost her balance, and the two of them fell straight onto the large bed, which was over three meters wide.
Su Niannian lay on the soft bed, while the tall and strong Si Lijue, like a beast, gently lay on her petite body.
At this moment, the two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats, and their intimate posture filled the bedroom with a passionate atmosphere.
