Chapter 44: The Most Shameless Woman
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That night, Li An’an opened a wealth management account. As a lot of money was involved, her hands were trembling as she invested.
Actually, she had already started to manage her finances on a small scale. This time, her plan was to invest this money.
Although she was not confident, she believed that she could earn a lot of money. When the time should come for the money to be returned, she would give it back to Chu Yichen. As for Gu Na, she would go there a few times, just to put up a snow.
Killing two birds with one stone.
In the morning, Butler Chu saw Li An’an looking at her phone for the umpteenth time.
“Li An’an, Young Master is asking for you.”
“Oh, alright.” Li An’an put her phone away. The investment products that she had bought yesterday were on the rise today, but the risks were also high. It was a gamble, but she believed she’d win.
“Also, Li An’an, he didn’t invite you here to look at your phone.”
“I understand. As you know, my relative is ill and in serious need of comfort. I won’t talk to her again.” Li An’an looked repentant.
Butler Chu didn’t say anything else and asked her to bring the fruits upstairs.
In the study.
The room was filled with mahogany furniture. Chu Yichen sat in front of the bookcase. It was a huge bookcase and a ladder was needed to reach some of the books.
However, Chu Yichen’s aura was not suppressed by the huge bookcase. He navigated his computer like he was an emperor.
“Mr. Chu, have some fruits.” Li An’an walked over to take a look at the stock chart on the computer.
Chu Yichen closed his laptop when he saw her approaching. He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, looking at her intently.
“This is a platter with apples, strawberries, grapes, bananas, and dragon fruit. They contain vitamins, ABCDEFG. You’re looking at the computer screen all the time so this is good for your health.”
Chu Yichen listened to her nonsense without saying a word.
“Have you done what you promised me?”
“Well, not yet. You know I’m very busy. I have to work here during the day and take care of a sick relative at night. I don’t have time at all. Why not… give me a few days off? Just a week, would that be okay? The kind of leave where salary is not deducted.”
The corners of Chu Yichen’s lips tilted upwards and his light brown eyes seemed to smile ambiguously. “You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever met.”
“You flatter me. No, I’ve seen people more shameless than me, I’m just average.
What can I do. A small fry like me has to live. Dignity can’t fill my stomach.”
“So it’s a big loss to spend the night with me?” He had never thought that a
woman would reject him.
“No, I’m just afraid that you’ll be taken advantage of. If that happens, you’ll regret it and your tears will find no vent. I’m doing this for your sake, right? Look at how handsome you are. You have power and influence. You can definitely find someone better.”
Li An’an spoke sincerely.
Chu Yichen stared at her mouth as she spoke and his expression darkened. “How thoughtful. Should I reward you?”
“No, just let me have some fruit”
Li An’an nervously stuffed a grape into her mouth. “Sweet.’
She hid her embarrassment. Imported fruit was indeed delicious. She reckoned it scored 18% for sweetness.
Chu Yichen stared at her as she devoured the grapes bit by bit. The juice staining her red lips was incomparably tempting.
His gaze sharpened and became predator-like.
Li An’an lowered her eyes. Chu Yichen was a very smart man. It was really tiring to pretend in front of him. She felt that he didn’t believe her. She could only try her best to hide it and hope that he wouldn’t notice.
She chewed on the grapes slowly. It was a pity that she could not bring such delicious fruits back for the little ones to eat..
