Shi Yuxuan naturally understood that she had to show affection to him in front of the Li family.

Although she wasn’t sure of Li Beichen’s motive for doing this, she thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. After all, no man would want his elders to see him and his wife being at odds.

Since that was the case, Yuxuan had no choice but to hold Li Beichen’s arm.

Lifting her head slightly, she looked at Li Beichen quietly with her long and curled eyelashes and said, “I’ll come over often to spend time with Grandpa in the future.”

The curve of her lips left deep dimples on her cheeks, like a vortex that sucked in the gaze of everyone.

Li Beichen looked down at her.

When she smiled, she looked obedient with a tinge of wildness. She gave out a positive and pleasant vibe and it was very comfortable.

Realizing that he was looking at her, Li Beichen’s expression changed. One wouldn’t be able to see his emotions from his eyes. “Let’s go in.”

“Okay.”

In the evening, there were clouds in the clear sky, like a young girl’s shy face quietly floating on top of the lush trees. Birds were also chirping actively in the surroundings. The air was also filled with the refreshing fragrance of green grass…

Shi Yuxuan tried her best to hold Li Beichen’s arm naturally. When the butler was not paying attention, she said to him in a very soft voice, “Since President Li has such a serious obsession with cleanliness. It doesn’t feel good to be held by me, right?”

Li Beichen’s gaze landed on her moist lips and he felt a little dazed. However, in the blink of an eye, he retracted his gaze.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was intimidating. “I’ll be throwing away this suit that you’ve touched.”

Yuxuan couldn’t help but be speechless when she heard this.

He was indeed an arrogant and powerful man.

The evening breeze blew on his hair, revealing his handsome and perfect side profile. It was sinister and dangerous. The man’s scent lingered, together with that faint tobacco smell, felt especially domineering and arrogant as it swiveled at the tip of her nose.

Suddenly, at that moment, Shi Yuxuan was slightly stunned.

“What’s wrong?” Sensing that she was looking at him in a daze, Li Beichen smiled sinisterly. “Ms. Shi, don’t fall in love with me for real.”

Hearing the disdain in his tone, Yuxuan retracted her expression and retorted sarcastically, “Don’t worry, President Li. I’m not interested in you.”

Li Beichen did not answer and only sneered.

As soon as she entered the villa, she was greeted with the sight of an extremely lavish hall. The complicated lighting accessories shone with extravagance. It cast a dark shadow on the soft carpet, exuding elegance.

“Second Brother, you’ve finally brought Second Sister-in-law back to the old residence.” From afar, a woman’s piercing voice could be heard.

It sounded familiar.

Shi Yuxuan could not help but frown. Where had she heard this voice before?

When she saw the face of the woman running towards her, the smile on her lips gradually stiffened.

Shi Yuxuan never expected that the woman who used to treat her so arrogantly was actually from the Li family.

It was true that enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.

She had originally wanted to hide, but Li Nana had already recognized Shi Yuxuan and her expression changed instantly.

Li Nana held her hands in front of her chest arrogantly and glared at Shi Yuxuan. “At first, I thought that you just had the same name. I didn’t expect you to be Shi Qi’s only daughter.” Li Nana gritted her teeth and practically pointed at her nose as she spoke.

Yuxuan held her forehead helplessly.

Actually, not much had happened between her and Li Nana. Whatever happened between them had occurred when they were young.

She did not expect Li Nana to hold a grudge against her till now.
