Xia Xi cursed inwardly, but she didn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "If you have any ideas, please tell me. I'll write them down and add them to the design when I get back."
Li Shiguang tilted his neck, thought for a moment, and smiled, "I really haven't made up my mind yet. I just know that I don't like the previous style." He pulled down the loose sleeves of his shirt, revealing his expensive watch, and checked the time. "How about this? Let's find a quiet place to sit down and have a drink. I'll think about it slowly and tell you when I'm ready."
Xia Xi could even hear the sound of him fiddling with the abacus beads. What Gao Ge said was indeed true. This man had no sense of boundaries. Not only did he have a frivolous look in his eyes, but his words were also so frivolous.
I don't know how many times he has used this trick. He has become so thick-skinned that he can say such words openly. He is too lazy to even cover up the most basic things.
"How have you considered it?" Li Shiguang leaned forward, pretending to hold Xia Xi's hand. "I've always been very patient with beauties like Miss Xia. If you haven't made up your mind, I don't mind waiting for you a little longer."
Xia Xi was about to vomit and raised his hand. If it weren't for the company's interests, the slap would have landed on his face.
"I'm sorry, I don't have time to have a drink with Mr. Li." Xia Xi's expression was a little cold. "After this is over, I still have to meet Mrs. Li to discuss some details with her."
She had no plans to meet Mrs. Li today. The reason she mentioned Mrs. Li was to make Li Shiguang feel a little afraid.
Li Shiguang raised his eyebrows and easily saw through her excuse: "I'm afraid my wife doesn't have time to see you. She's in the hospital taking care of my mother-in-law."
"Sister Xi."
Huang Shiyu's voice came from upstairs, and then she walked down the stairs. When she saw Li Shiguang, her expression paused slightly.
Li Shiguang didn't expect that there were other people, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
Xia Xi took the opportunity to go upstairs, leaving him behind and meeting Huang Shiyu.
Huang Shiyu leaned closer to her and asked softly, "Who is that person?"
Xia Xi: "Mrs. Li's husband is not a good person, don't pay any attention to him."
Huang Shiyu exclaimed in confusion, not quite understanding where the evaluation of "not a good thing" came from.
Soon, she understood.
Mr. Li also came up to the second floor, his hands behind his back, and followed them. Huang Shiyu thought he would make some suggestions, but the next second, she heard the man ask, "What does Miss Xia's husband do?"
Huang Shiyu: “?”
This person is really incomprehensible.
Xia Xi watched and took notes, ignoring him.
"Ms. Xia is such an outstanding woman. I'm really curious about what your other half is like." Li Shiguang couldn't see Xia Xi's indifference. There was a sense of regret in his words, as if he had already determined that Xia Xi didn't answer him because her husband's job was mediocre and not worth saying out loud.
Xia Xi still acted as if he hadn't heard anything, pointing to a spot and whispering to Huang Shiyu. Huang Shiyu listened carefully and nodded, indicating that he had remembered it.
Li Shiguang felt uncomfortable being completely ignored. Before long, he brought up a new topic: "Miss Xia, do you have any knowledge of art? As designers, you must have your own aesthetic sense."
His original intention was to show off his strengths, which was also his usual trick to attract women. Who knew that Xia Xi glanced at him indifferently: "Indeed, I like beautiful things." After a pause, he added, "And people."
After listening for so long, Huang Shiyu also understood Mr. Li's intentions. She felt disgusted, but she couldn't turn against him. At this moment, she and Xia Xi were in sync, and she continued, "No wonder your husband is so handsome, Sister Xi. He has been the most handsome man in our Nanjing University for several consecutive years. No one has ever been able to beat him. It turns out that you are obsessed with looks, Sister Xi!"
Xia Xi smiled cooperatively.
Li Shiguang: “…”
His facial muscles twitched, and Li Shiguang coughed lightly to save his dignity: "A person's appearance is just a facade after all. For a man, the most important thing is his ability. If I were Miss Xia's husband, I would definitely not let you run around so hard. Look at you, you're exposed to the wind, rain and sun, how hard it is. You should just stay at home and enjoy yourself."
Huang Shiyu's stomach was churning and he almost vomited his lunch. He had never seen such an ignorant person.
It really proves the saying that "there is nothing strange in the world".
Xia Xi shook his head.
Seeing her like this, Li Shiguang smiled and asked, "Am I wrong?"
Xia Xi said, "No matter how capable a man is, if he doesn't learn to respect his wife, in my opinion, he's no better than the plastic wrap on the ground."
She stepped on the plastic film and turned to go downstairs.
Xia Xi sped up her tour of the entire private estate. When she left, the rain was even heavier than when she came in, with fine, dense drops of rain pounding the ground. She didn't drive in, but parked outside the estate.
Huang Shiyu picked up the umbrella beside him and opened it. He felt it was a bit difficult to cover the two of them. Unlike when he first arrived, the rain was very light.
Li Shiguang came out of the house. He had just been mocked by Xia Xi. He was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw the beauty frowning slightly, he immediately forgot about the unpleasantness and suggested in a gentle voice, "Why don't I take you there?"
"Thank you, I won't bother you."
Xia Xi smiled faintly in response, took the umbrella from Huang Shiyu, put his arm around her shoulders and walked down the stairs. The soles of his shoes stepped on the wet ground, splashing small drops of water, and the umbrella crackled.
*
After returning home, Xia Xi asked Gao Ge for her design plan. Then, based on the scene she had seen in her mind during the day, she circled the parts that had been renovated, and modified and redesigned those that needed to be modified.
When Mrs. Li first approached her, she designed a version that didn't fit in with the existing style. It was too disruptive to force it in, so she had to overturn it, which was a lot of work.
