A beautiful summer night

Xia Wanzhi: [My house has been burgled.]

Waking up at 8:30 in the morning, Xia Wanzhi stared into thought at the extra water glass and cotton swabs on her bedside table.

Besides, there was a pile of luggage in the storage room that she hadn't had time to move back from the Zhou family home.

Bamboo left after bringing her back from the hospital last night. After taking her medicine and washing up, she went to sleep and slept until dawn.

She had no idea what happened in between.

But she knew someone had come in.

When asked, the bamboo said it hadn't come.

When asked, Xie Tan said he didn't know.

How could Xie Tan say he didn't know?

The person most likely to know the password and open the door is Xie Tan!

Early in the morning, Yunli was forcibly taken to the hospital by Jiang Baichuan to change her dressing. After seeing Xia Wanzhi's message, she blurted out subconsciously, "A thief broke into Wanzi's house!"

Jiang Baichuan, who had just found a parking spot and parked his car, exclaimed in surprise, "A thief broke in?"

Yunli was under immense stress: "She said it."

"The security at Lanting Villa is top-notch. With double security measures, how could a thief possibly get in? Besides, that house..." Jiang Baichuan blurted out without thinking, only stopping halfway through when he realized something was wrong.

"How did you know she lived at Lanting Villa?" Yunli keenly noticed. "What about the house? Keep telling me."

Jiang Baichuan subtly covered up the matter, continuing calmly, "The house was bought by Xie Qiyan for Xie Tan, so it's normal for me to know."

Yunli clearly didn't believe her: "Really?"

Jiang Baichuan didn't dare look Yun Li in the eye for the first time. After entering the hospital, he quickened his pace: "Let's go, let's change the dressing first. Did it get wet last night?"

Yunli was busy replying to Xia Wanzhi's text message, and only looked up at him after a while: "What did you just say?"

Jiang Baichuan patiently repeated, "Did the wound come into contact with water last night?"

"No, it hurts a lot, and I don't dare touch it." Yun Li looked up at him for a moment, then quickly lowered her eyelashes again.

What kind of CEO would be so persistent and clingy with someone?

The key point is that his surname is Jiang.

The most domineering CEO ever!

He was still so enthusiastic towards her even though he knew she wasn't single.

Yunli's feelings were extremely complicated.

If it weren't for the fact that the head injury was caused by him, and that he insisted on taking responsibility, saying that he would feel guilty and remorseful for the rest of his life if he wasn't held accountable, he would have been in trouble for life.

She couldn't resist and had no choice but to agree.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to come with her to change her dressing.

If Liang Jing finds out, neither family will have peace.

Yunli thought of something and secretly glanced at him.

The CEO of the Jiang family is really good at moral blackmail.

They look so respectable, surely they wouldn't resort to extortion or robbery?

“You just said it was impossible for a thief to break in. Wanzi asked Xie Tan, and Xie Tan said he didn’t go in last night. So who went in?” Yunli emphasized the question again.

Jiang Baichuan kept his mouth shut and did not answer.

Yun Li snorted: "Could it be the King of Hell?"

Jiang Baichuan: "..."

"Fine, I guessed it." Yun Li sat down and waited quietly for the nurse to change her dressing. She didn't frown at all during the whole process, but Jiang Baichuan, who was watching from the side, was extremely nervous.

After changing the dressing and putting on a new gauze, Jiang Baichuan realized he hadn't asked a question: "You guessed it? Guessed what?"

Yun Li smiled slightly: "Thank you, Qi Yan."

"Heh—" Jiang Baichuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Yunli, unusually, didn't ask any further questions.

She is a smart woman.

She is gentle, beautiful, and interesting. Every time Jiang Baichuan spends time with her, he can discover her hidden strengths.

Just like now, there's a touch of playfulness hidden in her seriousness.

On the other side, Xie Qiyan, who had received Jiang Baichuan's message, came out of the conference room with a dark face and made a phone call to Xie Tan, questioning, "Did you tell Xia Wanzhi that you didn't go over last night?"

Xie Tan looked utterly innocent: "Didn't you say that we couldn't tell anyone about sneaking into Sister Wanzi's house last night?"

After saying that, she added, "Including Sister Maruko."

Xie Qiyan: "..."

Pinching his brow, Xie Qiyan instructed, "Tell her again that you went to see her by yourself last night."

Xie Tan was extremely unwilling: "..."

Reluctant as I was, I did it anyway, because I really didn't want to do ten more sets of test papers.

The sun came out in the afternoon, and Xia Wanzhi stood in front of the French windows, feeling the warm light. She probably sweated it out last night, because her fever had subsided and she felt much better than yesterday.

There were dozens of unread messages from Zhou Yu on her phone. She clicked on them and read them without any emotional fluctuation.

Things have developed to this point, and she herself is miserable enough that she no longer has the energy to consider giving others face.

It should be as it is.

Xia Wanzhi didn't want to suffer this injustice.

After deleting the person, Xia Wanzhi was about to turn off the screen when a WeChat message from the butler popped up.

Xie Qiyan: [Open the door in ten minutes to install the water dispenser.]

Xia Wanzhi was completely baffled, but ten minutes later, exactly ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

"Um..." She was about to ask why they suddenly sent a water dispenser, but remembering that the person was mute, she hesitated for a moment and changed her words, "Thank you for your hard work."

After all, he's the housekeeper, so it's normal for him to add whatever's missing.

Thinking it over, Xia Wanzhi decided to make the most of everyone's talents and said briskly, "Could you also deliver a tea set, a robot vacuum cleaner, a blender, and... a projector? That's all for now."

After he finished speaking, there was no response from the other party, and she felt a little awkward: "Is... there a problem?"

After a long pause, the other person nodded, then shook their head.

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

He left after installing the water dispenser, and Xia Wanzhi didn't have time to ask him why or what he meant.

After exiting the door, Qi Shi gave a report, just like last time, including the requests made by Xia Wanzhi.

The next second, Xie Qiyan replied: [Yu Fei will deliver it in an hour. You carry it up to her.]

In less than an hour, Yu Fei arrived with the items in just forty minutes.

Xia Wanzhi's doorbell rang again. After seeing who it was through the video doorbell, she opened the door in surprise and watched as the butler brought in the things she needed one by one.

Xia Wanzhi couldn't help but share with Yunli: "Once I make money, I'll definitely buy a house in Lanting Courtyard. The private butler here is amazing."

Yunli: "..."

Is this the housekeeper's problem?

This is a problem with the powerful figure behind you.

After resting for two days, Xia Wanzhi regained some color and looked much more energetic than a few days ago. In the evening, Xie Tan sent a message saying that Grandpa Xie had invited her to the Xie family for dinner.

This is truly what Grandpa Xie said.

The last time the old man tried to find out if Xia Wanzhi was going abroad, he became more and more worried. He was afraid that if she really went abroad, he would never see her again, so he kept trying to invite her to dinner.

The old man had always hoped she would marry into the Xie family, but she preferred Zhou Yu, who was his grandson after all. He thought this would be a good match for her, but things always change in this world, and the engagement fell through before it could even warm up.

When Xia Wanzhi saw Xie Qiyan downstairs, she stood there stunned for a long time.

He leaned slightly against the hood of the car, one hand in his pocket, the other hand holding an expensive cigar. As their eyes met, Xie Qiyan exhaled a puff of smoke.

Although they both smoke, Xie Qiyan exudes an inexplicable, roguish sexiness.

Good-looking people look good no matter what they do.

Xia Wanzhi suddenly remembered that when he was a child, even when he was punished to kneel in the Xie family's courtyard and looked so disheveled, it couldn't hide his good looks.

Some people are indeed beautiful from a young age.
