Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li An’an was displeased. “Why can’t I leave?”
Chu Yichen raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean, why?”
“The butler said that I made a mistake. Why didn’t he chase me away?”
Chu Yichen bent down, his cold and handsome face inching closer. His deep eyes were filled with inquiry.
“Do you really want to leave so badly? Have you done something wrong?”
For some reason, she induced such strong feelings in him, especially when she walked off so brazenly every time.
“Didn’t you say that you came here to work because you were very short of money? You have parents to support, and a dog to feed. Are you leaving just like that without defending yourself?”
Li An’an felt guilty and didn’t dare to meet Chu Yichen’s eyes. This man was terrifying. He seemed to have started suspecting her.
It couldn’t be. How was it possible? It had been so long. He couldn’t have suspected. She remembered that the room was dark. He probably hadn’t seen her clearly, either. He couldn’t have associated her with that day.
Otherwise, he would have questioned her long ago.
“Yes, I need money, but I also have my dignity. I didn’t do anything wrong and yet I was maligned. Of course I won’t stay here.”
Chu Yichen’s expression was chilly. “Asking Bai Feifei for 200,000 yuan wasn’t doing something wrong?”
Chu Yichen sneered. If his subordinates had done this, they would have paid the price long ago. However, she was just a maid. It was not as serious, but it was still enough reason to chase her out.
Yet, he had retained her. He wanted to know why she had agreed to the bribe so readily.
Li An’an’s face was filled with sincerity, and her voice was choked with sobs. “That’s because I’m really short of money. Before this, I fell ill and owed a lot of money. When I heard that I could get 200,000 yuan if I left this place, I was tempted. I was wrong. Just fire me!”
“As for the money I owe you, I’ll definitely pay it back slowly.”
Chu Yichen stared at her Oscar-worthy performance. His intuition told him that she could not be trusted.
He studied her pretty face, but showed no hint of softening. He just wanted to know why. “There won’t be a next time.” contemporary romance
He was not a soft-hearted person. There were many people in the world facing their own difficulties. He did not have time to sympathize with each and every one of them.
“Uh, does that mean I don’t have to leave?”
Li An’an forcibly stopped her tears. She had put so much effort into her long act, but now he was telling her that it was all for nothing.
Chu Yichen turned around. “Of course. Your piteous act was very moving. If I don’t let you continue working here and chase you out, I’d be positively inhumane!”
Li An’an was at a loss for words. She felt like the tables had turned on her.
Chu Yichen had already left and returned to the villa.
Li An’an squatted on the ground, feeling lost.
No, she had to find a way to leave. It was starting to feel more and more dangerous.
Not far away, Bai Feifei witnessed the scene and was furious.
Sure enough, Chu Yichen was interested in Li An’an. Damn it, she would not let Li An’an steal her limelight.
She lowered her head and called home. They had to deliver what she wanted immediately. Even if she was discovered, she felt that it was worth it. It was worth the risk just to marry Chu Yichen. Once she was married to him, it would be a piece of cake to deal with Li An’an.
Nighttime, at the Apartment
After an exhausting day, Li An’an brought the three children home. She had spent the whole day in fear, but fortunately, Chu Yichen did not discover anything! She was satisfied that her three babies were still by her side.
“Darlings, Mommy will make you guys delicious food today! Let’s have chicken drumsticks and bake a cake!”
“That’s great, Mommy!”
“Mommy, you’re amazing!”
The three children happily surrounded her.
Li An’an went to the kitchen and used her newly bought oven to bake an extra treat for her babies.
