Li An’an hurriedly sent the children to kindergarten. She felt that there was no way she could continue hiding, but on the other hand, she couldn’t just run away with the children.
“Mommy, you’re looking pale. Did you catch a cold last night?” Li Jùnjùn asked. His heart ached for her. Did Mommy not have money to see a doctor? Big Brother had a credit card.
Li An’an planted a kiss on Jùnjùn’s face. “No, Mommy has a stomachache, that’s all.
Li Junjun asked the teacher for a cup of hot water and handed it to Li An’an. It was a heartwarming gesture. “Mommy, you have to drink more hot water and take good care of yourself. Come and pick us up tonight.”
Li An’an smiled bitterly. She didn’t know if she would be able to pick up the children this afternoon. Fortunately, she could call Auntie Li if she wasn’t able to make it. After sending the children to kindergarten, she slowly made her way to the office.
Li An’an went to look for Chu Yichen. Chu Yichen was not around and Li Cheng was tidying up in his office. She could feel the courage that she had mustered up fading away. She was ready to apologize, alas Chu Yichen wasn’t around.
Li Cheng smiled when he saw her entering. “Li An’an, your makeup skills aren’t bad. I couldn’t even tell it was you.”
Li An’an sighed. Li Cheng knew about it too. “I have my difficulties. You know that my previous account was stolen, so I thought of using this method to get it back. It wasn’t my intention to deceive people.”
Holding the organized documents, Li Cheng said politely and gently, “You don’t have to explain this to me. Just explain it to the CEO. However, today’s meeting is a rather long one. You may have to wait here until noon.”
“What sort of meeting goes on for so long?” She felt that Chu Yichen was messing with her on purpose.
“I don’t know about that. This is what the CEO has instructed.” Li Cheng left with the documents.
Li An’an was restless in the office. Chu Yichen was torturing her psychologically. He knew that she was scared, and he refused to see her. He was making her jump around like a kitten, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t leave either. What a despicable man!
She thought, forget it, she’d get out and disappear for a few days. She’d leave the children to Auntie Li and return when Chu Yichen would finally calm down.
Just as she came up to the entrance of the office, she was stopped.
“Li An’an, the CEO wants you to wait for him in the office. You’re not allowed to go anywhere.” Li Cheng suddenly appeared mysteriously outside the office building with two bodyguards behind him.
Li An’an was certain that he was waiting here on purpose, knowing that she would run away. Unable to get out, she could only return to the office dejectedly.
Li Cheng went to the meeting room, but there were two bodyguards keeping watch over Li An’an outside the CEO’s office. She couldn’t leave now. She sat on the sofa and covered her face with her hands, not knowing what to do.
What would Chu Yichen do to her? Lock her up and beat her up, or throw her into the sea to feed the sharks, as he’d often say?
It shouldn’t have to come to that. After all, the two of them were getting along quite well now. He had even kissed her yesterday. Surely he wouldn’t be so heartless. As she thought about the downside and tried to console herself as she did so. She felt schizophrenic, almost psychotic.
After waiting for two hours, Li An’an stood up and walked out. The two bodyguards stopped her.
“The CEO ordered that you’re not to leave this office.”
“I need to go to the bathroom.”
The bodyguard allowed her to leave the office, but followed closely behind her.
Li An’an walked towards the washroom under the watchful eyes of her colleagues. She washed her face desperately under the tap to calm herself down.
Xiao Zhang walked furtively into the washroom. “Li An’an, why are the CEO’s bodyguards following you around? What’s going on? Are you trying to run away? The CEO is so dashing, what are you even thinking?”
Li An’an’s eyes lit up. “No, there’s a situation. Are you able to help me get out?”
Xiao Zhang immediately disappeared like a gust of wind, before her voice even faded.
“I know. The CEO is playing some sort of seduction game with you. I’m not going to play gooseberry. I’m leaving right away! Hahahaha!”
Li An’an could only curse at her for being disloyal..
