“What brings you here?” Chu Yichen was calm and unruffled. His beautiful fingers were intertwined as he casually leaned back in his seat. His eyes sized her up without any restraint. His usual sharpness was missing, in its place was a hint of doting.
Li An’an was stunned by his gentle gaze. Was something wrong with Chu
Yichen today? Why was he looking at her like that? What kind of new method was he employing?
“Ummm.” Flustered, she lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Make your request, let’s see if I can help you!” Chu Yichen chuckled.
Li An’an couldn’t stand his gaze and looked out of the window again. “Can you waive the compensation? I’ve asked around. Even Butler Chu draws a handsome annual wage, so will you just let it go? Besides, I put in hard work for the money that you pay me. You can’t do this!” Li An’an played with her fingers.
She felt powerless. Obviously, she was the one at a disadvantage, but why was it that she found it impossible to toughen up whenever she met with the man’s burning gaze. Perhaps it was because he had jumped into the water despite his own safety, to save her that night.
Chu Yichen stood up and walked up to her. He rested his perfect chin on her forehead.
Li Anan’s heart thumped. What possessed Chu Yichen? Where was the domineering Chu Yichen? She was not used to the sudden change in his behavior. Shouldn’t he be grabbing her by the collar and giving her a stern warning at this point? Why was he being so gentle?
“Be good. Rules are rules. If I make an exception for you, I won’t be able to manage the others. Don’t worry, although you’ve lost all your money, I will support you!”
Li An’an couldn’t stand his gentleness. It felt right, but it also felt as if she was being brainwashed. “That’s not necessary. I can support myself!” She clenched her fists to wake herself up. She must not be taken in by Chu Yichen’s gentleness.
“That’s fine too. You may pay in installments. Alright, I have to get back to work. Why don’t you go downstairs. Oh right, prepare more food tonight. I like your cooking!”
“Okay.” Li An’an nodded. Cooking was no issue for her.
Chu Yichen gently hustled her towards the doorway. Before she could recover from her dazed state, he had already shut the study door.
Li An’an took a long time to react.
No, wait. Why did she agree just then?
Chu Yichen was such a jerk.
In the study. Chu Yichen chuckled. It turned out that Li An’an’s weakness was that she couldn’t resist a soft approach! A soft approach worked better than threats! He had finally figured it out.
Downstairs, in the kitchen, a furious Li An’an set herself to work. She held the chopper in a deadly grip as she chopped the meat. Li Cheng and Butler Chu kept their distance.
Li Cheng chuckled. “The CEO is supreme!”
To have angered Li An’an to such an extent, the CEO must have had the upper hand.
Butler Chu was very pleased. “Young Master has always been very intelligent. Just that he had taken the wrong method previously. Now, Li An’an would no doubt know how powerful he is!”
Li Cheng touched his chin. He didn’t really agree with it. After all, between a couple, it would be difficult for any one to always have the upper hand.
Nevertheless, he hoped that the CEO would always have the upper hand.
Suddenly, a thought came to him and he frowned. He tiptoed into the kitchen and took away the excess salt.
Food was a critically important thing. It must not become a nightmare.
Although Li An’an was angry, she cooked up a spread of seafood with whatever she found in the refrigerator.
Everyone ate together and sang endless praises.
Like a real gentleman, Chu Yichen even helped Li An’an shell her prawn. More than once, Li An’an dropped her chopsticks..
