My Beautiful CEO.

Although they were chatting, Li Cheng was clearly distracted. He was worried that the masked woman might suddenly return and scare him. It wouldn't be a big deal if she did, but if she exposed his terrible situation to his second uncle, that would be disastrous.

After drinking a cup of Huzi wine, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the clanging of a key and a lock. Hearing this, Li Cheng panicked, glancing at his second uncle and then at the front door.

After the door opened, the masked woman walked in with light, graceful steps. When she saw the scene before her, a look of shock appeared on her face.

The second uncle's expression didn't change much; he simply assumed the masked woman was either Li Cheng's roommate or his girlfriend.

Before the masked woman could speak, Li Cheng immediately grabbed her arm and asked eagerly, "Have you had a little to drink? Come on, let me help you to your room... Don't be so touched. We all live under the same roof, shouldn't we help each other out?"

That's what he said, but Li Cheng's behavior was very strange. Seeing that his second uncle was not paying attention to them, Li Cheng immediately reached out and covered the masked woman's mouth, and then pushed her into the room.

"You wretched bastard... let me go!" the masked woman said, twisting her body in dissatisfaction.

"Could you please stop shouting?" Li Cheng said in a very soft voice.

The masked woman rolled her eyes at Li Cheng, then pulled her phone out of her pocket.

Anyone with eyes could see that she was preparing to call the police and have them deal with Li Cheng.

To be honest, Li Cheng's behavior did indeed constitute trespassing.

Li Cheng was worried that his second uncle would find out about his terrible situation, so he immediately snatched the phone from her hand. Not only that, he also straddled her. Even though the position was ambiguous, Li Cheng didn't care.

Li Cheng whispered again, "Can you please stop shouting? If my second uncle finds out about my terrible situation, I'll be in big trouble."

The masked woman looked terrified. She covered her face tightly with one hand and grabbed Li Cheng's hair with the other.

Li Cheng wanted to scream in pain, but his expression was contorted and he remained silent: "Be gentle, you've almost pulled all my hair out."

"You damned bastard..." the masked woman cursed, but her voice was noticeably weaker.

Li Cheng said angrily, "I'm a bastard who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, is that alright?"

She then added, "But in my second uncle's eyes, I'm not that kind of person! He's older and his health isn't what it used to be. If he knew I was penniless and didn't even have a place to live, he would be furious..."

"Big sister, you understand even without me saying it, right? Could you please be kind enough to help me? He's here for an exhibition and will be leaving tomorrow morning... After he leaves, I promise I won't bother you again."

Hearing this, the masked woman stopped resisting, but the anger and disgust in her eyes had not diminished much.

Li Cheng let go of her hand, and thankfully she didn't scream.

Li Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, and after a while, he realized that he was still riding on the masked woman and had not gotten off.

Just as he was about to stand up and apologize to her, the masked woman twisted her waist and quickly pushed Li Cheng, causing him to tumble off her.

"Li Cheng, what are you doing?" Uncle asked, hearing the noises inside the room.

Li Cheng endured the pain and said in a very soft voice, "It's nothing, I just bumped into the cabinet."

Perhaps Li Cheng's explanation was more clever, because the second uncle did not ask any further questions. Seeing Li Cheng's pale face and distorted expression, the masked woman laughed heartily.

"Just a heads-up, don't say anything unnecessary later. My second uncle's health isn't what it used to be. If you upset him and cause him any health problems, I definitely won't let you off the hook."

The masked woman neither agreed nor refused.

Seeing this, Li Cheng made another request, his sincerity so profound that even he himself was somewhat moved.

She remained silent, not saying a word. Li Cheng could only console himself, taking it as her having agreed. He glanced at her wistfully, then walked outside.

I went into the living room and saw three bowls of millet porridge on the table. I knew without a doubt that my second uncle had packed them.

He was always so kind. He smiled and said to Li Cheng, "Li Cheng, ask that girl to come out and eat something. She can't go without eating after drinking, or she'll feel very uncomfortable."

"She might not want to eat."

The words had barely left his mouth when Li Cheng saw the masked woman carrying a handbag quickly walk out of the room…

Li Cheng couldn't quite describe his feelings towards the mysterious woman before him, nor did he know what she looked like. She always wore a veil, day or night, as if she was afraid that Li Cheng would see her true face.

In the past, Li Cheng would have lifted her veil without hesitation, but now, since he was staying at her house, he dared not be too presumptuous.

At this moment, Li Cheng's biggest worry was that the masked woman would reveal the truth to his second uncle. He didn't know how he would face her then.

Therefore, just as Li Cheng was extremely nervous, the masked woman strode out, seemingly intending to leave the room to Li Cheng.

Just as she was about to relax and enjoy her porridge, her usually honest and quiet second uncle said to the masked woman at the door, "Miss, I've served you a bowl of porridge. Why don't you drink it while it's hot?"

Li Cheng hoped the masked woman would leave as soon as possible to avoid accidentally revealing her true identity, so he kept gesturing to her. Unexpectedly, the masked woman glanced at Li Cheng and then smiled at her second uncle: "Thank you, Uncle."

Li Cheng silently stared at the masked woman, wondering what she was thinking. Judging from her tone, she didn't intend to report him; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so focused on drinking her porridge that she didn't even look at him.

Second Uncle was a very focused person, so he could do things much faster than others. After finishing the porridge in his bowl, he said to Li Cheng, "Since you're staying with other people, I'll go to a hotel."

Li Cheng glanced at the masked woman and said, "Second Uncle, you can sleep here with me. Why waste that money on a hotel?"

“I’ve been snoring quite loudly lately. You have to get up early for work tomorrow, and it wouldn’t be good for your rest,” Uncle said, shaking his head. Then he took out a sweater and placed it in front of Li Cheng. “Your aunt knitted this sweater and asked me to bring it to you.”

Li Cheng took the sweater from his second uncle and then asked, puzzled, "Why are you giving me two?"

"After you find a girlfriend, you can leave it for her to wear. The sweaters at home are warm, so she won't be cold wearing them."

Li Cheng didn't know what to say. His second aunt had actually used this method to remind him that he should find a girlfriend.

Li Cheng put away the sweater. Before leaving, his second uncle took out three thousand yuan from his pocket and placed it in front of Li Cheng, saying, "Here's the money. Keep it safe."
