Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Finally Waiting for You
“Since when did an uninvited guest become a guest?” Zhixi said coldly. “Didn’t you say you would wait as long as it takes without any complaints?”
“Oh, I was worried Miss Leslie might have forgotten about our date.” He pushed away the bodyguard’s hand with a look of disgust. “Fine, I’ll continue to wait outside. But now it’s hard to reserve a table at the restaurant, and I wouldn’t want Miss Leslie to miss her dinner.”
After finishing his words, he made a gesture towards Zhixi, then left with a smile.
His smile revealed a sense of determination to achieve his goal.
Zhixi took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly.
Uncle Li was so angry he could hardly bear it: “Young Mistress, just stay in your room with the young master, and I won’t let him barge in!”
“It’s no use, Uncle Li.” Zhixi pursed her lips. “He won’t give up easily, with even my father’s whereabouts under surveillance, do you think Zhuo Yuwei will let me go that easily?”
“But you’re pregnant now!” Uncle Li still shook his head.
“Xiaobao is still at home, I can’t let him be harmed.” Zhixi’s face showed determination, and she placed her hands on her belly. “You must trust me, for the sake of the child, I will be very careful. I guess Zhuo Han just intends to make me appear with him to create public opinion. After all, I am a foreign guest; he wouldn’t dare to mess around.”
“Young Mistress…” Uncle Li sighed deeply. “If only the young master were still here.”
Zhixi smiled: “I can’t rely on him for everything. Besides, this is my own affair after all.”
She had anticipated this situation when she had returned to the country bearing the title of Leslie’s heiress.
Only neither she nor Gu Bingjun had expected this scene to really happen.
She took a deep breath, returned to her room, quickly changed into a rather formal dress, and without putting on any makeup, she left the house looking plain and simple.
Seeing her coming out, Uncle Li immediately said, “Young Mistress, let me accompany you.”
Zhixi shook her head: “You stay at home and take care of Xiaobao, then find two bodyguards to follow me.”
After some thought, Uncle Li nodded: “Well, that’s all we can do.”
Before leaving, Zhixi called Pei Yuanchen, but as expected, there was no answer from his phone for a long time.
It seemed that her inability to contact Jingyao and Ning Yichen was no coincidence. She just didn’t know what matter had entangled Ning Yichen and Pei Yuanchen this time.
Zhixi let out a slow breath, stuffed her phone into her handbag, and walked out of the villa. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novèlfire.net
Watching her receding figure, Uncle Li really wished he could pull her back immediately. After all, the Young Mistress was carrying the young master’s last bloodline — if something were to happen…
He didn’t dare to think any further!
But right now, he had only a limited number of people he could mobilize, and more importantly, the other party wasn’t some backgroudless minion but represented the power of the President himself, involving too many factors, so how could Uncle Li act recklessly?
Outside the villa, Zhuo Han was still leaning against the sports car. Seeing Zhixi coming out, he showed a confident smile.
“Miss Leslie, I’ve finally waited for you.” His tone was somewhat frivolous. “Effort always pays off.”
Zhixi glanced at him without expression: “Let’s go, I’m short on time, and I still need to get back for my beauty sleep.”
He laughed, opened the car door for her.
As Zhixi got into the car, she smelled a mix of perfume and cigarette smoke and felt nauseated.
