Chapter 54 Did something come to mind?
Song Xu took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Xi, asking where she was.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Song Xu panicked and dialed Lin Xi's number.
"Beep...beep..." The phone rang many times, but Lin Xi did not answer it.
Just as Song Xu was about to hang up, the call connected, and Lin Xi's voice came through the phone: "Hello, President Song."
Lin Xi was breathing heavily, and Song Xu's anger surged to the top of his head. His voice was as cold as ice, "Where are you?"
"I...I'm in the apartment," Lin Xi said, panting.
Song Xu stood in the center of the living room, his tone growing increasingly icy, "Lin Xi, you dare to lie to me."
“I didn’t lie to you,” Lin Xi said, holding her phone between her neck and shoulder, carrying a large, full bag in one hand and unlocking the door with the other. “President Song, are you back?”
"I..." Song Xu was about to explode in anger when he heard the door open. He took a few steps toward the entrance and saw Lin Xi walking in, panting, carrying a large bag.
"Hi!" Lin Xi hung up the phone and waved to Song Xu.
Song Xu's anger subsided somewhat, but his face was still very sour. "Where have you been so late?"
"I'm going to the nearby supermarket to buy some groceries and snacks." Lin Xi put the large bag she was carrying on the floor and took out pink slippers to change into.
She looked down and noticed that Song Xu hadn't changed his shoes and was walking around the house in his leather shoes. With her sharp eyes, she saw many shoe prints on the floor.
"Mr. Song, why didn't you change into slippers?" Lin Xi took out Song Xu's slippers and placed them beside his feet. "Put them on quickly, I'll mop the floor again."
Lin Xi spoke without much emotion, but Song Xu could hear the full of complaint in her voice. He changed into slippers and said, "I'll wipe it off tomorrow."
"No, don't move yet," Lin Xi quickly grabbed the floor scrubber and started scrubbing the areas with shoe prints. "If the floor is dirty, the soles of the slippers will get dirty too, and then I'll have to scrub the slippers again."
Lin Xi thought there were only shoe prints in the living room, but as she kept wiping, she ended up wiping the whole house, and even found shoe prints in her room.
Lin Xi sighed, wondering what President Song was looking for.
After mopping the floor, Lin Xi returned to the living room, where Song Xu was already sitting on the sofa.
"Mr. Song, did you lose something?" Lin Xi asked nervously.
She lives alone in the house, so if something goes missing, she becomes a prime suspect.
Song Xu glanced at her and said, "That's embarrassing."
"Huh?" Lin Xi was completely confused. What did he mean? Was he embarrassing himself, or had he lost someone else?
"Stop it," Song Xu glared at her, annoyed. "What are you going to the supermarket for so late? Don't you have anything at home?"
“I need to cook some food for someone tomorrow and deliver it to them,” Lin Xi explained. “Since this is my personal matter, I can’t use your ingredients.”
"Who are you delivering food to?" Song Xu narrowed his eyes; he hadn't received that kind of treatment before.
"Bai Tiantian said she's lost a lot of weight from exhaustion and wants to eat my cooking. I'll go to the school tomorrow and bring her some food," Lin Xi replied.
"Bai Tiantian?" Song Xu vaguely remembered her; she was a woman. His anger subsided a bit.
"Where did you get 20,000 yuan?" Song Xu remembered the reason he was in such a hurry to come back.
"I sold Shen Yan's watch for 200,000 yuan, and I got 10%, 20,000 yuan of it." Lin Xi's tone became much lighter when she mentioned making money.
So that's how it is. He had forgotten about it. The main reason was that he never expected Lin Xi to be able to sell her things, allowing Shen Yan to seize the opportunity.
“Don’t help them sell anymore,” Song Xu tapped his knee with his fingers. “You’re my hired nanny, so you have to serve me wholeheartedly.”
Song Xu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lin Xi from head to toe, cutting off her newly established path to wealth.
However, she couldn't disobey Song Xu. The reason she was able to get in touch with rich second-generation heirs like Shen Yan and Xiao Heng was because she was working as Song Xu's nanny.
Without the caregiver job, Grandma would be kicked out of the hospital, and she wouldn't have such a high income anymore. She's now counting on Song Xu to survive.
"President Song, I..." Lin Xi was on the verge of tears.
Seeing her like this, Song Xu sneered inwardly. From afar, she looked like a rabbit, but up close, she was just a hedgehog.
"From now on, you are only allowed to sell my products, and I will give you 20% of the profits."
Lin Xi instantly held back the tears welling up in her eyes, her eyes widening. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Have I ever lied to you?" Song Xu scoffed.
Lin Xi shook her head. She planned to draft a purchase agreement tonight and have Song Xu sign it, so that a written agreement could serve as proof.
"Mr. Song, have you had dinner tonight? Are you hungry?" Lin Xi felt she should also try to curry favor with him, since Song Xu had offered her such generous terms.
Song Xu was hungry. He hadn't eaten anything on the plane, and the food he ate in the afternoon had long been digested.
Faced with Lin Xi's concern, Song Xu felt somewhat relieved. This stubborn rock wasn't impossible to warm up. He nodded slightly and said, "Make me a bowl of noodles."
"good!"
Lin Xi quickly prepared a large bowl of tomato, beef, and shrimp noodles in the kitchen.
The red tomato soup base, paired with fragrant sliced beef rolls and fresh, smooth shrimp paste, looks incredibly appetizing.
"President Song, the noodles are ready." Lin Xi brought the noodles to the dining table, then went back to the kitchen and brought out a small bowl of noodles.
She was so captivated by the aroma of the noodles she had made that she absolutely had to have a bowl.
Song Xu walked over and saw Lin Xi sitting opposite him, also serving herself a bowl of noodles, which made him feel much better.
The two ate their noodles in silence.
Lin Xi had a small portion of noodles, so she ate quickly. After finishing her noodles, she didn't move and quietly watched Song Xu eat.
She stared at Song Xu's thin lips, her mind slowly drifting away.
During this period, she kept having the same dream: she and Song Xu were embracing and kissing intimately, their lips and teeth intertwined, passionate and crazy.
The woman in my dream didn't seem like herself, because she had never been so unrestrained and passionate before...
Song Xu wiped his mouth clean and waved his hand in front of Lin Xi's eyes. "What are you thinking about? Why is your face red?"
Lin Xi was brought back to her senses by Song Xu. "It's nothing, I'll go wash the dishes."
She blushed and reached for the large bowl in front of Song Xu, but Song Xu moved the bowl away.
“President Song…” Lin Xi looked up at Song Xu in confusion, wondering what he meant.
“Lin Xi,” Song Xu stood up and grasped Lin Xi’s wrist, “Did you remember something?”
Lin Xi lowered her eyes, trying to break free from Song Xu's grip, but Song Xu held her too tightly, and she couldn't move. "I don't know what you're talking about."
“You’ve been staring at my lips,” Song Xu said, a smirk playing on his lips. “Are you thinking about how they’ve lingered on some part of your skin before?”
