Actually, even he didn't understand why this thought would suddenly flash through his mind when he first saw Yu Xi. It was too sudden.
Since he thought it was her, he would let her go. Since she had a request, he could help her with it. Everyone had to help each other, and no one would lose out.
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Yu Xi's self-deprecating look faded away. She understood that there was no need to investigate further, she only needed to obediently be manipulated by him, as long as he could provide her with the help she needed, they would be on the same boat. However, the questions in her heart continued to stir.
"For you to ask me to seduce Shen Yufeng and make him fall in love with me, I'm afraid you must have some hidden motive. I'm just curious about the reason why you asked me to go through so much trouble to do that."
Yan Chen listened to what she had to say. His eyes narrowed, and it was hard to see what was going on in his deep eyes. He could only feel that there was a black hole inside that could suck people in.
She looked at him expressionlessly as she opened her mouth, deep in thought, "Yu Xi, I've never liked stupid women, and I know that you're not stupid. On the contrary, you're very smart, so don't let me hear about this in the future."
Yu Xi's face was still expressionless. As she watched his aura change around him, she quickly got up with a calm expression. She took one last glance at him before walking into the living room to pick up the suit on the back of the sofa.
"I still have things to do. You can stay here if you have nothing to do, or go back to your apartment." His deep, cello-like voice rang out from the living room. Yu Xi didn't turn her head to look at him, only paused for a moment before she heard the front door open and close, then the sound of a car starting to drive away came from outside.
Yu Xi's gaze was still fixated on the chair that Yan Chen had just sat on. Yu Xi's words of caution were completely filled with them; his aura was too powerful, and Yu Xi's heart had been shaken for an instant. Even her heart was slightly trembling.
After what happened in Jiang Huai yesterday, she completely understood. She could not afford to offend this man that stood at the top of the food chain, but she could not avoid him either. They already had a connection.
Right now, Yan Chen was like a hawk hovering in the sky, while she was like a rabbit on a flat land with no cover. She had nowhere to hide, and every move she made was reflected in Yan Chen's eyes.
Now that she wanted to live a good life, even if it was humble, to let her mother live a peaceful life, the only thing she could do was to quietly stay by Yan Chen's side and be his lover, doing what he wanted her to do.
Yu Xi returned to her senses and silently ate the remaining bread and drank some milk. She knew that she needed to pull herself together and prepare for the chaotic events of her next life.
After washing the plates, Yu Xi looked around her surroundings. She wasn't used to staying here, but she still preferred to stay in her own little nest. Even if it was just for a short while, it was only there that she belonged to herself.
After returning to the shore, just as she opened her door, Wang Hui Xin rushed over. "Yu Xi, where did you die? I just said I was going to call you. Didn't you get off work a long time ago?"
Yu Xi glanced at her messy hair, thinking that it was better not to tell her what had happened. After scaring her again, she smiled faintly, changed her shoes and entered the living room. She casually explained, "Oh, the manager has asked me to leave a while later. It's not a big deal. Have you just woken up?"
Wang Hui Xin saw that she was really fine, so he relaxed. He scratched his head and curled his lips, "That's right, I slept too late last night looking at my phone."
Saying that, she suddenly thought of what happened yesterday morning. She hurriedly moved closer to Yu Xi and asked with a nervous expression, "Yu Xi Yu Xi, that... "Are you alright …"
Yu Xi obviously knew what she was asking about, but she still pretended that she didn't know. Walking back to her room to take out the clothes she wanted to change, Wang Hui Xin followed closely behind her like a shadow.
"Aiya, I told you yesterday morning, Yan Chen said he won't let Jiang Huai off and will make him pay the price. Didn't you rush out yesterday after hearing the price? Did you go find Yan Chen, did he let you go?"
Yu Xi's hand paused for a split-second before recovering. Her expression didn't change as she indifferently replied, "Oh, about that matter, it's already fine. Don't worry about it."
"Really?" "That's not bad, I think Yan Chen is nice to you. Just look at you and go over to talk about it. It seems like he still cares about your words. Also, this big house, do you think Chen Chen has taken a fancy to you?" Wang Hui Xin whispered mysteriously.
Like her? Heh, if Wang Hui Xin knew the truth of the matter, he would probably jump in fright, and then he would start swearing. She turned around expressionlessly, and pointed at Wang Hui Xin's forehead with her finger.
"You think that if he fell for me, with his unreasonable and overbearing attitude, he would make me seduce Shen Yufeng and make Shen Yufeng fall in love with me?"
Hearing this, Wang Hui Xin frowned and flattened his mouth. He raised his hand to rub his nose and mumbled, "Oh …"
Alright, stop daydreaming. If you have time, you might as well go out and find a job or have a boyfriend. Otherwise, who are you counting on to raise you? Yu Xi didn't want to talk about Jiang Huai and Yan Chen with her anymore, so she immediately diverted her attention.
Sure enough, the moment he heard there was food, Wang Hui Xin turned around and ran back to his bedroom like a wisp of smoke to clean up.
Yu Xi came to the kitchen to look for ingredients, and suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she went to see her mother. She just so happened to have time today, so she thought it would be better to cook a few dishes and bring them over. He's also in the city doctor...
His heart was in a mess. He was so heavily injured, but he didn't know how he was doing right now. Could the phone call he hung up from yesterday have been made directly to him after he woke up …
Yu Xi knew very well that she wouldn't be together with him anymore, but he was injured. It was still because of her. She just wanted to take a look. Once this thought stirred, it would be difficult to suppress it.
