Without further ado, Shi Yuxuan took out some rice, cooked it, and mixed it with soybean paste. Although it was simple, she still enjoyed it.

After filling her stomach and putting down her bowl and chopsticks, her phone rang again.

It was still Mother Wu.

She had called her several times in a row. It wasn’t about anything else. She was just simply asking Mrs. Li to cook some food for Second Young Master Li.

“Madam, Second Young Master has been busy with the corporation’s matters recently, so he wouldn’t be very adequate in that aspect. No matter what, he needs some replenishment. He can’t go hungry. Please just cook something for Second Young Master…”

Adequate in that aspect?

Why did these simple words sound like there was a hidden meaning behind them?

It seemed to have differed from its original meaning and it sounded strange to her ears.

“Second Master loves to eat…”

On the other end of the phone, Mother Wu was still nagging. Although Yuxuan wanted to calm down and listen to her, she really did not know how to cook. Moreover, Li Beichen really would not eat what she cooked, so what was the point?

In the end, she could only brush her off. “Mother Wu, wouldn’t Beichen’s favorite food be food that’s cooked by Mrs. Li?”

“Madam is right. Second Master naturally will like the dishes you cook the most—”

Mother Wu was about to tell her about the Iranian Almas caviar but her words were suppressed by the imposing aura on the other end of the phone.

Then, she casually hung up.

She turned around and glanced at the second floor.

Food?

Hmm, it was true that Li Beichen had not eaten anything. A feeling of guilt made her feel a little bad seeing that he would likely be hungry. Besides, Mother Wu had called so many times.

However, she did not have the culinary skills to prepare delicacies. Instead, she had a jar of soybean paste.

Soybean with rice, would the President of Yuzun eat it?

Yuxuan’s eyes were half-closed as the corners of her lips curled up mockingly, and she raised her brow.

After scooping a bowl of rice and a spoonful of soybean paste, she carried it to the second floor. Her long fingers ran through her slightly curled hair. Leaning against the door of the master bedroom, Yuxuan raised her hand and knocked on it casually. “Li Beichen—”

Only silence met her in response.

Without knocking a second time, Shi Yuxuan opened the door. It was empty and there was no one inside.

It made sense though. Li Beichen was so obsessed with cleanliness and he hated her. How could he tolerate the smell of her lingering in the master bedroom and continue staying there?

Naturally, he would not stay in the master bedroom.

After walking around several times, Yuxuan finally stopped in front of the study room.

A low and attractive voice came from the study. Li Beichen seemed to be on the phone.

The news brought by Old Chen and Mother Wu made Li Guowei smile from ear to ear. He took the opportunity to call Li Beichen and ask him to bring Shi Yuxuan back to the old residence tonight as he wanted to meet the future Young Madam, Mrs. Li.

When he heard the words “Mrs. Li”, there wasn’t much warmth on Li Beichen’s face. His eyes seemed to be sealed by ice, and there was a frightening coldness in them.

“Alright,” he replied apathetically. At the same time, a smirk began to spread across his cool lips.

After hanging up the phone, Li Beichen loosened his collar and rolled up his sleeves. His deep eyes swept over the documents on the desk. Just as he was about to settle some work matters, he heard a knock on the door

Did that woman not understand human language?

Did he have to cordon off the stairs and explicitly state that dogs and Shi Yuxuan were not allowed on the second floor?

Instantly, the surrounding air froze. The anger in his eyes was surging as he strode forward with his long legs and opened the door arrogantly. His oppressive aura enshrouded Shi Yuxuan.

Yuxuan glanced at him indifferently and said unhurriedly, “Here, for you to eat.”

Eat?

Li Beichen’s gaze turned colder as he stared at her.

What in the world was in her hand? Was she sure that the ball of black stuff was even edible?

Li Beichen took a step forward in an imposing manner. His sharp eyes suddenly became long and narrow, and his aura akin to thunder, full of power.

“Shi Yuxuan, I already told you that you’re not allowed on the second floor.” His voice was deep and powerful, exuding an irresistible force.
