Su Wanti lay on the bed, her cheeks flushed, her chest heaving, and she was sleeping soundly.
"Click"
There was a faint sound of the door opposite being locked.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, which were as bright as water, without a trace of confusion.
She touched her lips, which were swollen from kissing, and the corners of her lips curled up.
[Tsk, he really can't stand being teased... Host, what do you think his attitude will be when he sees you again tomorrow?]
Su Wanti narrowed her eyes slightly, snuggled comfortably into the cloud-soft and fluffy quilt, and chuckled, "I guess he won't bring up what happened just now."
[Will he back down again like before? ]
Su Wanti shrugged nonchalantly and said, "If he takes one step back, I'll take two steps forward. One day, he'll have nowhere to retreat."
What happened today is enough to show that Liyang Prefecture is not completely uninterested in me.
It was obvious that he had a good impression of himself, and that was enough.
————
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Family Mansion Restaurant.
As Su Wanti expected, after seeing her, Li Yangzhou did not take the initiative to mention what happened last night.
When she finished packing and arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, Li Yangzhou was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
When facing Su Wanti, he was as quiet as usual.
But today his expression was a little unnatural.
There is also a hint of evasion.
Su Wanti sat down, greeted him, and started eating breakfast.
After a while, she saw that Li Yangzhou had no intention of talking to her, so she said with a hint of apology: "Mr. Li, I'm so sorry. I think I fell asleep in the study yesterday."
"Yeah." Li Yangzhou responded softly.
From the moment Su Wanti walked into the restaurant, he smelled the fresh and sweet citrus scent on her.
The fragrance lingering on his nose suddenly reminded him of the long and passionate lip-to-lip love last night.
At this moment, Li Yangzhou's chest felt a little hot and his throat was tight.
He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say much, so he could only respond briefly.
Su Wanti stroked her chin, her tone soft and full of doubt, as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was asking Li Yangzhou.
"But when I opened my eyes, I found myself in my own room. What's going on? Hiss, why does my mouth hurt a little..."
"Cough, cough..." Li Yangzhou seemed to be choked and began to cough rapidly and violently.
Su Wanti immediately jumped up to check on him.
Fortunately, he just choked on his coffee. It was no big deal and he was fine after coughing a few times.
"Mr. Li, are you okay?" Su Wanti asked with concern.
Li Yangzhou's eyes flushed, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I'm fine."
"Well..." He cleared his throat and said, "You fell asleep last night, and I asked Sister Fang to help you back home."
Sister Fang took leave and went home early this morning. She won't be back for at least a month.
It's most appropriate to put the blame on her.
I think Su Wanti would not call Sister Fang to verify such a small matter.
Li Yangzhou took a sip of coffee and thought secretly.
"It turned out to be Sister Fang who helped me back to my room..." Su Wanti's voice rang out slowly, and then she said to herself in a very soft voice, "I was really dreaming..."
Li Yangzhou's ears keenly caught her mumbling.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched slightly and he paused.
At the same time, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Fortunately, fortunately, she thought she was dreaming.
Otherwise, Liyangzhou really didn't know how to face her.
Then, the two of them sat in silence and finished their breakfast.
As usual, we took the same car and arrived at the Li Group parking lot.
The Li Group has an elevator that goes directly to the top floor of the building and does not stop at any floor in between.
The driver stopped the car in front of the elevator, and Su Wanti and Li Yangzhou opened the door and got out.
The driver helped Li Yangzhou walk to the elevator door, and Su Wanti pressed the up button.
"Ding!" Just as the elevator door opened and the two were about to step into the elevator, a greasy and muddy male voice suddenly rang out.
"Wanti!"
Li Yangzhou frowned slightly and stopped.
Su Wanti shuddered and got goosebumps all over her body.
She felt uncomfortable and looked up at the voice. She saw Qiao Heng wearing a fine and well-tailored white suit, holding a large bunch of bright red and gorgeous Corolla roses, standing ten meters behind her.
Su Wanti's brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a look of disgust in her eyes.
Why is Qiao Heng here? Didn't he break off the engagement with the original owner a long time ago?
"Who is it?" Li Yangzhou's voice was cold and solemn.
Su Wanti said calmly, "He's just an insignificant person. Don't pay attention to him. Mr. Li, the elevator is here. Let's get in."
Su Wanti didn't even glance at Qiao Heng. She followed Li Yangzhou into the elevator and quickly pressed the door close button.
The light on the door came on, and within a few seconds, the thick isolation door of the elevator closed, isolating the stunned Qiao Heng outside.
"Tsk, hasn't it just that you found a powerful backer in Liyang Prefecture? Why are you pretending to be so cool!" Qiao Heng muttered.
"If they hadn't threatened me with the IOU, I wouldn't have come back to you!"
His eyes turned cold and he spat fiercely.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
Qiao Heng picked up the phone and a gloomy voice came from the receiver.
"I heard that you had a bad start. So I have to think twice about the promise you made to me."
Qiao Heng's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He turned his head like a rattle, looking up and down, left and right, and turned several circles.
Unfortunately, he could only see ordinary office workers in the Li Group, and could not see the burly men who beat him, punched him and threatened him.
His eyes were filled with fear, his hands were shaking, and he could barely hold the phone. "How did you know? Where are you?"
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the phone receiver. "Don't try to play tricks. My people are always watching you. If you run away, you will be turned into a limbless human pig. That feeling... hehe, it will be worse than death."
The naked threat frightened Qiao Heng terrified. His eyes were red, and he clutched his hair, pleading, "Brother, I promise I can do whatever you ask. Please give me a little more time."
"Su Wanti used to listen to me the most. She wouldn't dare go west if I told her to go east... Now, because I broke off the engagement with her, she's mad at me. Once I coax her back, I'll take her to the place you designated!"
A cold voice rang out in Qiao Heng's ears, "Remember what you said. I'll give you two weeks. If our people don't pick her up after two weeks, you can just wait for the creditor to come and collect the debt. By then, the Qiao family will have changed hands, hehehe——"
"Two weeks is too short, one month!" Qiao Heng was so anxious that he lowered his voice and shouted into the phone.
But the other party hung up the phone directly, leaving him with only a beep.
Qiao Heng clenched his cell phone tightly, his face ashen.
