ine every day, and sometimes she couldn't help but shed tears, but she still had to swallow it down.So he raised his hand to wipe it away and continued drinking the rest of the medicine.But now, the r...Ning Shu's face flushed at his words, her expression dazed.

Here it goes again with the same expression.

But the youth's clear and fair complexion, his aura was like a touch of early winter snow. Even if he looked a little naive, it wouldn't be displeasing.

Li Yan frowned, he crushed the cigar in his hand. It was like a tempting treat right beside his mouth, yet just out of reach, making him increasingly irritable.

His eyes were like the icy water of winter, still and without a trace. He lowered his voice and offered a condition: "As long as you accompany me to bed every month, the other conditions can be negotiated."

Li Yan thought that such a tempting opportunity wouldn't be refused by many people.

Ning Shu fell silent for a moment: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to have caused you any misunderstanding." He unconsciously used honorifics, and hesitated before continuing, "I feel very sorry."

He knew saying that might upset the other person.

But Ning Shu wouldn't allow such a misunderstanding to become reality. He couldn't help but clench his hand slightly. He felt like he should have seen it coming—that Li Yan liked men, after all, there were a few handsome young boys inside when he first arrived.

After all, it's not about drinking and chatting with a few people.

This is the second time.

Li Yan was too lazy to care if he was playing hard to get or was genuinely stupid. He let out a sneer, his expression remaining cold as ever. He uttered a single sentence: "Then get lost."

Ning Shuxin's heart tightened.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he hadn't expected the other party to be so direct.

The tall, handsome man had returned to that aloof and aristocratic demeanor, his bearing elegant. Those deep-set eyes, like black obsidian, however, were fixed on the young man, betraying no emotion.

Ning Shu only thought that he was annoyed by himself.

Stand up.

"Mr. Li, can you give me a chance"

Even as he was leaving, he still mustered the courage to say those words.

Li Yan's bathrobe had slipped open a bit, and he looked cold and aloof. His brows were furrowed at the moment, even like this, he was still incredibly handsome and alluring.

"What opportunity"

His tone shifted slightly, not as cold as before.

Ning Shu dared not look at the man randomly, especially the area below his abdomen. Even a slightly coarse and hard body hair could be faintly seen.

He took a deep breath and said, "I hope Mr. Li will take a look at my resume and consider it."

Li Yan's lips curled into a slight smile.

...but not the kind of mockery, but rather a cold sneer. ...

His gaze, as if solid and real, struck the young man with force: “You couldn’t even get past the interviewer with that resume. Do you think I have the time to look at it again”

Ning Shu was silent for a moment.

Although what the other person said was harsh, it was indeed true.

But his cheeks still flushed slightly, after all, being rejected in public with no room for saving face was another matter entirely.

But regardless.

Ning Shu felt she had already done her best. She stood there for about three seconds, then bent down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your hospitality tonight."

Then he walked straight towards the door.

Li Yan stared after him, his expression turning slightly cold. His face was as hard as iron.

The housekeeper saw the young man come out of Mr. Li's room after a short while and felt a hint of surprise.

He looked at Mr. Li, who was standing by the glass window in a bathrobe, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, it's very late now. It's probably difficult to call a car now."

Li Yan retracted his gaze from the young man's straight and somewhat lonely figure.

He hadn't expected the other party to leave as soon as they said they would, without any hesitation at all.

Her expression was as cold as ice as she said, "Does this concern you"

....

Ning Shu walked out of the Li family's gate.

It was getting late, and he had walked for a long time. The night wind was blowing a bit cold, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

Ning Shu felt that it was probably very difficult to get a car this late.

Now he just hopes to get out of this place first, and then see if he can find somewhere nearby to stay for the night.

But Ning Shuchu was new here and soon got lost.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Ning Shu still hadn't managed to leave this area. He couldn't help rubbing his arms, wondering if he was heading in a more and more secluded direction.

A light shone from afar.

A luxurious car stopped beside the young man, and the butler said, “Mr. Ning, please come up.”

Ning Shu was startled.

The butler said, "It's getting late, Mr. Ning. Why don't you stay here for the night"

He looked over, a bit hesitant and said: "Mr. Li...seeing me, I'm afraid he wouldn't be very happy."

The butler smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, you're thinking too much. I wouldn't dare to come and pick you up without Mr. Li's instructions."

This rather surprised Ning Shu.

Li Yan

He even had the butler pick him up and allowed himself to stay at the Li family for a night

Ning Shu didn't go into detail about why, she opened the car door and got out, thanking the butler.

The steward said, "Mr. Ning, thank Mr. Xie for his concern. Actually, Mr. Xie doesn't want to see anything happen to you either."

Ning Shu had a sudden realization.

Now I understand why Li Yan would have someone come look for him. After all, he came back with the other party. If something happened to him, it would be a trouble for Li Yan.

What Ning Shu didn't know was that Li Yan had seen a lot of dirty things in order to get to where he was today.

Not even a missing person, let alone a dead one, would be handled so discreetly.

When Ning Shu returned to the Li family, she didn't see Li Yan.

The housekeeper arranged a room for him.

Ning Shu was also a little tired because of what just happened, and soon fell asleep soundly.

At this moment, the butler was reporting to Lord Yan about the young man's affairs.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Ning has made all the arrangements."

Li Yan was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the lights below. He made an indistinct sound of affirmation.

The steward couldn't figure out what Mr. Li meant, so he said again, "Shall we arrange for someone to send Mr. Ning home tomorrow"

A man's eyes were obscured in the gloom, their gaze unclear.

His voice was low. "No need."

The housekeeper doesn't quite understand if this means the young man should go back on his own, or something else.

He didn't dare to ask more.

Then he went back down.

Ning Shu was oblivious to what was happening outside. He slept soundly for a long time.

Until the butler knocked on his door.

Only then did he wake up.

Lord Yan's figure was not seen at the dinner table.

Ning Shu sat alone at the huge, luxurious dining table, feeling a bit out of place.

After all, people tend to feel a little uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.

And the butler seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Lord Yan.

Mr. Li went to work at the company.d as stunning, sent out a pink envelope. Even Ning Shu, someone who didn't interact with girls much, felt that the other person emanated an air of blooming flowers.Soft, clean, and beautiful.Pei Sinan...
