Around 7 p.m. on Monday, I heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs.
Su Li immediately put down the book in her hand, got up and left the room.
As she was going down the stairs, she saw Quan Ye walk in from outside. The maid took his coat and handed him slippers.
"Have you eaten?" he asked.
"I've already eaten, have you eaten?"
"Yeah, I just had a few bites at a business dinner tonight." He loosened his tie and went upstairs. For someone with OCD, the first thing to do when they get home is to take a shower.
As Su Li watched him go upstairs, she pondered how to bring up Zhou Kai's matter with him later.
A maid standing nearby asked, "Miss Su, would you like something for a late-night snack? We can have the kitchen make something now."
"No need, I'll do it myself."
She rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to make him some late-night snacks and bring them up.
After returning from the hotel, she tried many other methods but failed to contact the medical team. Now, the only option was to have Quan Ye step in.
Zhou Kai's secret is very important, and she must find out about it; freedom can only wait.
After making the late-night snack, he had also taken a shower and was leaning against the sofa shirtless, making a phone call.
Su Li carried the things in and placed them in front of him.
Quan Ye raised an eyebrow at her, as if to say, "Why are you so enthusiastic tonight?"
While he was on the phone, Su Li fed him the cooked glutinous rice balls.
He opened his mouth and obediently took a bite.
After hanging up the phone, he pulled her into his arms. "You're being so proactive tonight, is there something you want from me?"
Su Li obediently fed him a second bite, and said slowly, "I've thought about the condition you mentioned last time."
"Hmm? Tell me about it."
"I can stay with you for now, but you have to give me a deadline."
Upon hearing this, Quan Ye's handsome face suddenly darkened.
He pushed her away from his embrace, and said with a lack of interest, "So you're telling me that even though I helped you, you still want to leave?"
"I just want a deadline."
"So how long do you hope it will last? A month? Two months? Su Li, you're really ignoring what I'm saying."
Quan Ye got up to leave.
Su Li gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. Although you've broken off your engagement with Song Wan and I won't be your mistress for the time being, there's no guarantee that you won't get married in the future. I don't want to be your sex partner forever. I'm just thinking more about my future. Am I wrong?"
"Who said you've always been a mistress? You're so stupid."
"Isn't that right? Unless you never get married in your life."
Quan Ye suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. This stupid woman always imagined all sorts of bad things to happen to her.
He gently stroked her hair. "There won't be another Song Wan. You can trust me."
"Who knows?"
"How about I give you the position of Mrs. Quan? That way you can put your mind at ease?"
"Bang—" The bowl in Su Li's hand suddenly fell to the ground, spilling the glutinous rice balls and soup all over the floor.
"Did you get burned?"
Quan Ye immediately pulled her over and carefully examined her exposed, fair toes.
Su Li blushed as if she were on fire, and said in a daze, "No, no."
"Stupid, you've been by my side for so long, can't you learn to be smarter?"
He left the study and went to the bedroom to get another pair of slippers for her to change into.
She stood there, patted her face, and muttered to herself, "I must have been hallucinating. He would never say something like that. It's unbelievable."
