Cheng An didn't dare to persuade her anymore and even closed the door after leaving the room.

"knocking"

Not long after Cheng An left, there was another knock on the door. Li Hongting frowned. He hated being disturbed when he was reading, but he still allowed the visitor to come.

"Come in."

Qingxue came in from outside with hot water: "Sir, you've been tired all day, wash your feet."

"Put it there."

Qingxue was stunned and stood there without moving.

After a while, Li Hongting rubbed his brows and said, "You can go down. I don't need anyone to serve me."

"Sir, if Qingxue has done anything wrong, please point it out and I will definitely correct it."

"There's nothing to correct. I just don't need anyone to serve me. Go down."

Qingxue wanted to struggle a bit, but was afraid of completely angering him, so she could only obey and go out. Before leaving, she did not forget to add one more sentence.

"My name is Qingxue. The second young lady asked me to serve you. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

Seeing that Li Hongting ignored her, Qingxue could only leave the house dejectedly.

The next day, the sun was still scorching hot. Ye Shian had no appetite early in the morning. He just drank a bowl of soy milk and went to the big tree in the garden to enjoy the cool air.

This big tree was originally there. When building the house, Ye Shian did not cut it down, but left it. A swing was hung on the tree. It is not a swing, but it would be more appropriate to call it a hammock.

Ye Shian was holding half a watermelon, lying on it barefoot, eating the watermelon while reading a novel.

In order to make it easier to read novels, she covered the cover of the novel with paper. As long as outsiders were not allowed to see the words inside, others would not be able to guess what she was reading.

She was reading something exciting and was so immersed in the book that she didn't even notice someone approaching her.

"Is this man an idiot? Big idiot, can't you just ask? Don't you have a mouth? And you still call him a boss, ugh, I'm so mad, I'm so mad."

Ye Shian sat up suddenly, scooped a piece of watermelon with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ye Shian was so engrossed in the game that he caught a glimpse of a handsome face approaching. He couldn't hold his breath and the watermelon in his mouth spurted out. Fortunately, it sprayed all over Li Hongting's face.

"Pfft, cough, cough, um, sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."

She tried to get down from the hammock in a panic, but she lost her balance and fell towards Li Hongting.

Li Hongting was a person with some mysophobia. He was already unhappy after being sprayed in the face. Now Ye Shian actually leaned over to him, so he dodged to the side without thinking.

When Ye Shian thought she was going to fall into Li Hongting's arms, she was extremely reluctant.

She was screaming in her heart, no, no, no.

But when Li Hongting really dodged, a thousand alpacas ran through her heart.

You bastard, are you a man? You just want to watch a petite and cute person like me fall to the ground.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts..."

Snapped

Before she could get up, half of the watermelon hit her calf again.

Ye Shian: ...

"are you OK."

Li Hongting wiped the saliva off his body with a handkerchief while asking indifferently, and his tone clearly showed that he didn't care about Ye Shian's life or death.

Ye Shian blew out a breath, turned over and sat on the ground: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li, I'm fine."

“Hey, this book…”

Li Hongting's eyes fell on the romance novel that Ye Shian was reading. Ye Shian had not closed the book in a hurry just now, and now the book was still on the page that Ye Shian was reading.

Li Hongting reached out to take the book, but Ye Shian was faster than her and jumped onto the swing. The swing lost its balance and the book slipped into Ye Shian's hand.

"Hahahaha, this book is not suitable for men to read."

This is a print from the 21st century. I can’t imagine how shocked he will be when he touches this book.

Especially the font above, she was really afraid that this gentleman would regard her as a heretic and eliminate her after reading it.

In fact, although Li Hongting did not touch the book, he could still see with his naked eyes how good the paper quality of the book was. Also, the words on it, although he did not recognize them, felt very familiar.

Li Hongting stared at Ye Shian. Actually, he could have forced Ye Shian to hand it over, but seeing Ye Shian's fake smile, he withdrew his hand.

"Ah, my clothes are dirty, I'll go change."

Ye Shian got up and ran to her room, leaving her shoes lying quietly beside the swing.

Li Hongting watched her run away, then looked back at the swing. The swing was wide enough for two people to lie on it.

He looked around again, and the scene just now appeared in his mind again. The big tree blocked the scorching sun, and a breeze blew. Ye Shian lay barefoot on it, leisurely eating watermelon and reading a book.

Although she didn't know what she was watching, she was fascinated...

"He is a man who knows how to enjoy himself."

Qingxue was walking towards them quickly behind them. When she arrived, she knelt down without saying a word to clean the watermelon.

Li Hongting noticed someone beside him and looked down.

Qingxue also looked up at Li Hongting: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, my second daughter asked me to apologize to you."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Hongting only lowered his head to take a glance, then immediately looked away. Then he also went back to his room to change clothes.

It’s a hot summer day, but the snow is cool to wear. From Li Hongting’s perspective, it feels like spring.

Ye Shian ran back to his room in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, don't take the book out again in the future."

It was really dangerous just now. I don’t know if he read the contents of the book.

While taking off his clothes, Ye Shian wondered whether he should send this giant Buddha away.

"Even though we are very familiar with each other, it's not appropriate for you to be so frank with me."

An inopportune voice sounded and almost sent Ye Shian away. After seeing who it was, she leaned on the wardrobe for a long time before she could recover.

A tall and thin man suddenly appeared in the room. He had a beard on his face and had disguised himself, but Ye Shian still recognized him at first sight.

"Shen Cuo, do you walk without making any sound?"

"I will be scared to death by you sooner or later."

"You've already left, why are you here again?"

Shen Cuo calmly walked around the table and sat down: "I thought you would miss me."

"Bullshit, why do I miss you? I wish you would never show up again."

Ye Shian pulled back the half-removed clothes and asked, "What do you want to do this time?"

"Don't be afraid, I don't eat people."

"..."

"Just leave if you don't want to. Can't you see I need to change my clothes?"

"That Li Er is of noble status. If something goes wrong in your house, you can't afford the consequences."

"You don't have to say that."

"Why don't you let him go?"

Ye Shian rolled his eyes toward the sky: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You said he is of noble status, can he listen to me?"

She wished Li Er would leave overnight.

"Find a way to get him out as soon as possible."

After saying this, Shen Cuo stood up and left, and he went out through the main door.

"Tsk, if he listens to me, then he's not a noble man."

Ye Shian had already taken off his coat before he realized that the other person had walked out of the door.
