Yu Xi calmly listened attentively while Yan Chen and that man sat on the other side of the table. Although Yu Xi was the leader on the surface and the man seemed to be very flattering, but when Yu Xi heard their conversation, she could tell that the man was a little difficult to deal with and didn't seem to be satisfied with the conditions he had given.

Yu Xi was not in the mood to listen to their negotiations. Her gaze unknowingly fell on Yan Chen. She looked at his handsome face that was as sharp as a knife. She couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart.

Although he still had that cold expression and the words he said were still indifferent, Yu Xi could faintly feel the warmth flowing between them. Right now, he had inexplicably brought her out, but … You think she's bored? For such an unreasonable reason …

Yu Xi gently shook her head, telling herself not to think too much. She sat obediently in the corner, but her gaze was constantly cast towards the heavy atmosphere. Gradually, the scene before her eyes became more and more blurry, and she fell asleep in a daze.

Yu Xi didn't know how long she had slept, but in her half dream, she felt someone gently shake her. Frowning slightly, she opened her hazy eyes and suddenly remembered that Yan Chen had brought her to the casino.

"Ah …" Yu Xi covered her forehead and let out a soft cry. When she was shaken just now, she hadn't looked carefully. Yan Chen stood in front of her and slightly leaned forward. Her hand was still on her shoulder as she suddenly stood up and bumped into Yan Chen Yan's chin.

Rubbing her forehead, Yu Xi raised her head to look at Yan Chen. She saw that he too was rubbing his chin with one hand and frowning. His eyes looked at her with a bit of disdain, as if he was displeased with her and asked, "Why have you suddenly become so impatient?"

Yu Xi heard his words and felt a little awkward. She could only softly say "I'm sorry." She no longer paid attention to him and turned to leave. Yu Xi stared blankly at his back, when she suddenly heard his low voice, "Let's go."

Yu Xi rubbed her neck that was stiff from sitting down and sleeping, then hurriedly followed behind her.

After leaving the casino, Yu Xi looked at the slightly whitening sky and realized that it had almost been an entire night. Having stayed up all night and actually discussing work at this time was truly tiring …

After getting on the car, Yu Xi glanced at him a few times without batting an eyelid. From his brows, he couldn't see any superfluous emotions. He still had that ice-cold look on his face and didn't know how the project was going.

Although she knew that this wasn't something that she should interfere in, Yu Xi inexplicably wanted to ask this question, at least as a way to return the question. After pondering for a moment, she cleared her throat and slowly opened her mouth, "You … "How is the project going?"

He just glanced at her for a moment, then continued to look ahead, holding the steering wheel. He didn't say anything for a long time, just when Xi Xi didn't think he wouldn't answer at the beginning, a low voice suddenly said, "You still have to ask such a stupid question."

Yu Xi slightly raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Although these words were meant to mock her, Yu Xi instantly understood after hearing his calm tone. This was a successful negotiation.

Yu Xi didn't speak nor did she look at Yan Chen. Instead, she leaned her head against the window and looked at the road that flashed past. She chuckled in her heart. Sometimes, such words really did … Make people lose their temper...

As the car sped back to the garden, the sky was already completely bright. Yu Xi resisted the urge to yawn as she unbuckled her seat belt and got off the car. Right now, she just wanted to catch up on her sleep, but she still felt awkward in the garden.

She followed Yan Chen into the house. Yan Chen ignored her and went straight back to his room. Just as Yu Xi was hesitating whether to sleep here or go back to the shore, Yan Chen walked out again.

When Yu Xi saw that he had only changed into a new suit, she asked, a little puzzled, "You …"

"I'm going to work, you sleep." Yan Chen looked expressionlessly at Yu Xi.

Yu Xi's brows subconsciously knitted together. "You've just returned, and you're going straight to work?"

Yu Xi looked at his indifferent expression and blurted out, "You didn't sleep the entire night during your project, and now you're going to work without even blinking an eye. Can you even turn your body around like this?"

Yu Xi realized that she seemed to be getting further away from him as soon as she said that. She bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes to look at the floor. However, she didn't seem to care at all as she replied in a low voice, "I'm fine." After which, he walked out the door.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Yu Xi heaved a sigh of relief and went to the guest room on the second floor to wash up. Yu Xi sat on the soft bed and stared at the ceiling above her, and she suddenly thought of Yan Chen. She realized that this was the first time she had seen him working so hard all night, and he still had to continue working when the sun was up.

Yu Xi sighed silently in her heart. She felt that she had paid a lot of attention to this person. Perhaps it was because he had helped her last time and helped her escape a calamity, she now felt grateful to him.

Yu Xi closed her eyes helplessly. This time, she slept very lightly. Perhaps it was because she had something on her mind, or perhaps it was related to the environment. This was her first time staying in a guest room in the Li Garden.

"Weng ~ ~ ~" The ringing of the phone beside the pillow roused Yu Xi's consciousness. She frowned slightly and did not open her eyes. Instead, she subconsciously reached for her phone and pressed the answer button to her ear, "Hello."

"Yu Xi." A heavy voice came from the other end of the phone. When Yu Xi heard this voice, her sleepiness immediately disappeared and her eyes snapped open. Her eyes were filled with coldness. She hugged her blanket and slowly sat up.

"What, you can't even call me father?" It was none other than Yu Xi's father, Yu Qinghui.

Hearing his unhappy voice, Yu Xi's brows tightly knitted together. Gritting her teeth, she indifferently called out, "Father, is there anything I can help you with?"

Only then did Yu Qinghui reply with satisfaction. It was as if he did not hear the cold voice of Xi. His heavy voice sounded again, "Let's go home for lunch."

His words were like an order. Yu Xi was a little confused and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
