"Mrs. Si, we have arrived."
Xu Anyi paused for a moment, and she blinked a few times, wondering if she had heard incorrectly. Did he just call her. . . Mrs. Si?
She frowned. Did Si Mu tell him to call her that? It must be, since Si Mu was his boss. She did not know if she should correct him, and in the end, she decided not to as she got out of the car.
Only until she was out of the car did she get a clear view of the house.
It was also enormous, but not as large as she had imagined. The design was grand and exquisite, with clean white walls and a large door with golden embroidery on the sides and the door handle.
"Is President Si the only one that lives here?" She turned around, asking Si Er.
"Yes, Mrs. Si." He paused, and then added, "Well, another person will be joining him now."
It took a moment before Xu Anyi realized that he was talking about her, and she cleared her throat awkwardly as she began walking into the house.
Si Er did not follow her inside and instead went to park the car, so she entered alone. The door was not locked and she stepped in to find that the interior of the house was just as beautifully and elegantly designed as the outside.
No one was inside and she did not know if she should walk in when she suddenly heard a cold and familiar voice say, "Walk straight and turn left."
She followed his directions and entered the house, looking left and right at every perfectly designed corner. Every single space in the room seemed to shine, and there was not a single mess in the entire area. She couldn't imagine living here.
She turned left and saw the open dining space. There was a round glass table in front of her and she immediately saw Si Mu sitting at the end of the table, eating breakfast.
He looked up when he saw her as he continued to slice up the bacon, "Sit down."
Xu Anyi saw the only chair placed across from him, and there was another plate of food on the table as well. She did not realize how hungry she was until she saw the food, and she quickly sat down, beginning to eat.
Si Mu paused for a moment when he saw her pick up the fork and start eating, and he watched as she devoured the food on the plate.
Xu Anyi used to be very picky with her food and wouldn't eat a lot to maintain her figure, but in prison, having enough food to eat was a blessing. Sometimes, you would not know when your next meal would be, so she had developed the habit to eat as much as she could when there was food to eat.
Si Mu's hands paused as his gaze moved from her hands to her body. A sharp sparkle flashed past his eyes when he noticed how skinny she was, even underneath the baggy clothes.
He let out a soft sigh as he dropped his fork and knife and instead picked up his glass of water. He turned it around in his fingers, watching the water slide around the border of the glass, "So you want to get revenge."
He took a sip of the water, "What is your plan?"
Xu Anyi paused, and then continued to chew at her bacon as she glanced up at him, tilting her head slightly, "I have no plan."
Si Mu raised one eyebrow at her straightforward answer and then he frowned, setting down the water as he leaned back against his chair, crossing his arms together, "Then how can I help you?"
Xu Anyi took a large gulp of water and then sat up straight, putting down her fork, "Why don't you tell me what you think my plan should be?"
A corner of Si Mu's lips twitched slightly as he suppressed a grin, lifting a hand up to pinch the area of skin in between his eyebrows, "The Xu Corporation is in Lu Yuzhe. . . your ex-husband's hands now."
Xu Anyi's expression darkened at the mention of this topic, "I know."
He continued, "Xia Yiwei. . . your ex-best friend, is now a famous model and actress with a large fanbase and Lu Yuzhe's support. Oh, and she's his fiancee now."
He raised a challenging eyebrow, "What do you have to compete with them?"
Xu Anyi began elegantly cutting up her bacon again and her eyes slowly trailed up to Si Mu at his words. Her thin lips curled up into a smile, "I have you."
Si Mu's heart skipped a beat but he did not show it as he continued to stare at her, trying to hide his delight.
Xu Anyi twirled the fork around in her hand, "Xia Yiwei. . . Actress and model."
She snapped her fingers together, "Then, I will model first!"
