Chapter 12: In a Good Mood?!

“Having fun?”
Chu Yichen’s voice was low and chilly.
“Huh?! I’m sorry!”
Li An’an was so frightened that she threw down the hose. She didn’t know that he was behind her.
Chu Yichen wiped away the water droplets on his face and scrutinized Li An’an. “I don’t think you qualify to be a maid here.”
He walked back with a cold expression. He wasn’t that patient. Although she had piqued his interest, it wasn’t enough to excuse willful and reckless behavior.
Li An’an was stunned for a second before chasing after him.
She wanted to send Junjun for piano lessons now. She could not lose her job.
“Wait, I didn’t do it on purpose. You scared me!”
Chu Yichen did not stop walking. A chilling aura emanated from his body, and his anger was obvious.
“I apologize. I promise I won’t do it again. I’ll be sure to pay attention to the movements behind me. Please calm down.”
Chu Yichen still did not look back and continued walking towards the villa. Chu De was already approaching him with a towel, looking surprised.
Li An’an understood that yesterday’s scene was about to repeat itself. She was suddenly enraged. Back then, it was her adoptive parents who had gotten her into this, but it was a fact that he had bullied her. What right did he have to be so arrogant towards her now?
“Screw you, I quit!”
She took off the white apron from the maid’s uniform and flung it at him. In this moment, she cared neither about tact nor restraint. She just wanted to chew him out!
How dare he throw his weight around? If she had his birth, she would be a hundred times more arrogant than him!
Chu Yichen heard her swearing and suddenly turned around. Li An’an’s apron hit his face with a gentle puff and a faint fragrance.
The apron slid off his face and was grabbed by a large hand in midair.
Li An’an’s heart skipped a beat.
She was too impulsive this time.
“Don’t hit me. A gentleman uses his words, not his hands.”
She backed away.
Chu Yichen’s brows were slightly raised and his pupils constricted. The women he had met from a young age were all young ladies from prestigious families; he had never encountered someone so outspoken before.
He glanced at her and walked back towards her.
Li An’an immediately ran. She would be an idiot to stay here after offending Chu Yichen.
Li An’an ran home without stopping. Although she had been impulsive just now, she didn’t regret it. Instead, she felt that she had vented her anger.
When she reached home, she had a sip of water and was about to take a breather when she received a call from Butler Chu.
“Li An’an, why did you leave work for no reason?”
Li An’an stuttered. Didn’t the butler know that she had flung her apron into
Chu Yichen’s face?
“I’ll deduct 100 yuan this time. Don’t do it again!”
“Oh, right!”
At an Exclusive Club
The dim, orangey private room was filled with smoke. Chu Yichen was drinking and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Sitting opposite him, Long Ting looked surprised.
“What’s the good news? Did you settle matters with the Zhou family overseas?” Chu Yichen put down his glass.
Long Ting was puzzled. He raised his head and looked at him suspiciously. “Don’t tell me it’s a woman? Speaking of which, didn’t you already do it with the woman Aunt arranged for you back then? Why don’t you settle down with a proper one now? With your pedigree, you can choose any woman you want.”
Five years ago, he admitted that he had touched a woman. Long Ting was shocked for a long while. That woman came out of nowhere and was sent to Chu Yichen’s bed—and she even succeeded.
Long Ting was truly astonished. If it was not for the sudden explosion and her subsequent coma, that woman would have successfully snagged him.
Chu Yichen recalled what happened at the hotel that day. When he woke up in the morning, the woman beside him was gone. Just as he got dressed, there was an explosion in the corridor. When the dust settled, he saw a woman lying in a pool of blood.
As the hotel’s surveillance camera was damaged, he could only assume that the woman at the door was the woman who had been with him..
