บท 40: I'm So Hungry. Is There Anything To Eat?
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Yan Lishu had a habit of waking up early to run.
After running, he returned sweating all over.
At the door, he met Shen Ruiqing who came to find him.
Frowning, he asked, "Why did you come?"
His tone was unhappy.
Shen Ruiqing smiled, pretending to not see the man's annoyance. "You left suddenly last night. I thought that something happened to you."
"There's an emergency at the company." Yan Lishu gave an excuse casually.
Was it because of the company's emergency or a woman?
From the moment she saw him, she saw that under the scar at the side of his mouth, there was a similarly ambiguous mark—two neat rows of teeth marks.
A woman's sixth sense told her that it was definitely bitten by another woman.
All sorts of jealousy surged up. However, she suppressed them in a moment.
"Oh really? Then why did you not say anything? You didn't even answer your calls!" Shen Ruiqing purposely became gentler and complained to him.
Shen Ruiqing had called twice, but none were picked up. She tactfully stopped calling.
"My phone ran out of battery!"
In reality, after seeing Shen Ruiqing's name, Yan Lishu muted his phone immediately.
***********
When Yan Lishu mentioned that he had to leave early last night, Shen Ruiqing had already guessed that it was related to the 'wild cat' Yan Lishu was referring to.
It was possible that the woman had stayed over for the night.
A chill breeze blew. Shen Ruiqing wore thin clothes and a light-green windbreaker. Her thin body was so cold that it trembled.
She hooked her long finger and swept her hair, which was messed up by the wind, backwards. Her eyes were gentle. "It's so rare for me to come over. Won't you invite me in?"
Yan Lishu glanced at her, lifted his legs, and walked into the villa.
In the villa, the maids were preparing breakfast.
They saw that there was an unfamiliar woman behind Yan Lishu.
They were surprised for a moment. Why did he bring another woman in?
"Master, the breakfast is already ready!" The maid walked to the door and took out a pair of cotton female slippers for Shen Ruiqing. "Miss, please wear this!"
She had initially bought it for the lady that Master brought over yesterday. But today…
She was a little puzzled. However, Shen Ruiqing was smiling and changing her shoes. She was polite. "Thank you."
Shen Ruiqing did not see any women's shoes. She could not help but be confused. Did she guess wrongly?
After entering the house, Yan Lishu did not intend to bother about her.
He immediately went upstairs to bathe.
This was the first time that Shen Ruiqing entered Yan Lishu's house. She was a bit gloomy. Did he just leave her like that?
The maid poured a glass of water. "Miss, please have a seat."
"Okay!"
*********
Qin Mu did not sleep well after being tormented by Yan Lishu. With much difficulty, she fell asleep at daybreak. However, she was woken up by the cold again.
Her blankets had all dropped onto the floor. Hugging her shivering body, she got up.
She was a little hungry. The bread from last night did not help at all.
Downstairs, Shen Ruiqing was sitting on the sofa, sizing up the living room like the female owner of the house.
Thinking from another perspective, did this count as Yan Lishu's trust towards her?
Because he trusted her, so…
Scanning her surroundings, she thought that the house was too empty. She thought that when she lived here, she would have to renovate it again.
Her gaze landed on the staircase. She scanned a woman's shadow, and her delightful smile immediately froze on her face.
Her pupils dilated. Why was there a woman?
Not only was Shen Ruiqing shocked, but when the maids saw her appear from the staircase, they were extremely surprised as well.
They went up hurriedly. "Miss Qin!"
Qin Mu was extremely exhausted. She rubbed her eyes and felt her way down. "Aunt Zhang, I'm so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes. Miss Qin, please wait for a moment!"
