Could it be that he had eaten his fill and wanted to say something sweet to her?
However, in the next moment, Qiao Mu knew that she was daydreaming.
Li Yanâs lips curled into a devilish smile. â I like it when you say one thing but mean another. You clearly want it in your heart, but you always say no with your mouth. â
Qiao Mu was speechless.
She wanted to tape this manâs mouth shut!
At night, Li Yan did not come out of his study. Qiao Mu went outside the study and was about to knock on the door to remind Li Yan that it was time to sleep when she heard Li Yanâs voice coming from inside the room.
âWhoâs in charge of new York? How can such a big project have a loophole? Iâll go over tomorrowâ¦â Li Yan paused for a moment. â Iâll get Lei Yi to settle this first. Iâll head over in three days. â
Qiao Mu pushed the door open and entered. She saw Li Yan wearing earphones and staring at the computer screen. He seemed to be on a video call.
Seeing her enter, Li Yan said a few words before hanging up the video call.
Then, he looked up at her and waved at her. â Are you sleepy? â
Qiao Mu sat on his lap. â Uncle, are you busy? â
âItâs okay. Iâll go to sleep now.â Li Yan said calmly.
Qiao Mu snorted. â Youâre lying to me. You said something happened in new York on the phone just now, so it must be an emergency. My finals are the day after tomorrow, so you donât have to stay and watch. Donât delay your work because of me. â
When he said that he would leave in three days, she had already guessed that he would definitely wait until her competition was over before leaving.
Although she really hoped that he could watch the game live, work was the priority after all. She could not let him ignore work for the sake of the game.
â Silly girl, those things are not important. It doesnât matter if itâs a day earlier or a day later. â
âYou still want to lie to me, Uncle? I really donât want you to affect your work because of me. Itâs okay. Even if youâre not around, Iâll definitely finish the competition successfully. So, you can go on your business trip in peace. Iâll take care of the competition in a down-to-earth manner, okay?â
Li Yan nodded helplessly when he saw her persistence. He instructed, ââ During the competition, if you run into any trouble, look for Su Chen and the others. Wait for me to come back and celebrate with you. â
âYes!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Qiao Mu was reluctant to part with him, she did not want to hinder Li Yanâs work. She was already very happy that he could choose her between work and herself.
Li Yan left reluctantly.
Soon after, Qiao Mu welcomed the finals.
The finals were held in the open-air manor when it was closed. A gorgeous runway was built on the lawn. In order to show the most authentic work, there was no need for any lighting to affect the color difference of the clothes.
Outside the manor, Ling Xi was driving a sleek black Lamborghini. He parked the car at the entrance with one hand on the car window and the other hand holding the phone to his ear.
Although he looked sloppy, his tone was very respectful when he spoke into the phone. â Brother, Iâm already at the scene now. Iâll go in immediately. Iâll definitely watch over Sister-in-law for you and not let anything happen to her! â
Ling Xi complained in his heart. This was the third time Young Master Li had reminded him. Wasnât this man very busy in new York? Where did she get so much free time to make such a boring call to him!
On the other end of the phone, Li Yan said coldly, ââ If I find out that sheâs been bullied, you can forget about marrying a woman for the rest of your life. If you canât even take good care of my woman, you can stay single for the rest of your life. â
Ling Xi was speechless.
Did he have to be so vicious! Did he have to be so ruthless?
