Li An’an asked the butler for Chu Yichen’s number and braced herself to call him.

She hadn’t dialed yet, but her heart was pounding. Bai Feifei’s incident had left a deep impression on her. Had she offended him this time?

Chu Yichen ended a work video conference and leaned back in his chair, waiting for Li An’an’s call.

Five minutes had passed, but she did not call. It seemed like she was going to rebel!

He stood up from the chair and went out with a dark expression. The butler brought him a coat, and he put it on and walked to the door.

Li An’an called.

He did not pick up immediately. When he got into the car outside, he unhurriedly answered the call.

“What is it?”

Li An’an’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Chu Yichen’s cold voice.

“It’s like this, Mr. Chu. My relative is sick and there’s no one to take care of her. That’s why I left my post. I hope you can understand. I promise I won’t do it again.”

Chu Yichen asked the chauffeur to drive to the office. He remained unmoved by Li An’an’s words.

“So I must pay for your actions and remain thirsty?”

“I didn’t mean it like that. What happened today was an emergency. I promise there won’t be a next time. Really. You can dock my salary. Even double the amount.”

“Like I’d give a hoot about that pittance.”

The Chu family was wealthier than she could ever imagine. They would not care about those pennies.

“Then what do you want?”

Chu Yichen was more stubborn than an ox.

“You’re the one who called. Don’t throw the problem back at me.”

Li An’an was infuriated. What was this man’s problem?

“All right, then I hope you can forgive me and not take this matter to heart.”

Since he asked, she made a request.

For her children, she was prepared to do anything.

Chu Yichen replied calmly, “No.”

Li An’an felt like she was about to spit up blood.

“Then what exactly do you want?”

Li An’an’s voice was raised, but she quickly lowered it so that she wouldn’t disturb her daughter.

“You can answer my question. I’m certain we have met before. Tell me when it was.”

Chu Yichen leaned back in the car. His intuition was always right, and he was the type of person who liked to get to the bottom of things! He would not stop until he got an answer!

Li An’an’s heart skipped a beat. He had been making things difficult for her because of this. His suspicions had not been dispelled yet. Chu Yichen was really a pain to deal with.

“No, I’ve never met you before coming here. Maybe I just have a common face.”

Chu Yichen said in a dangerous tone, “Common face?”

“That’s right. Although I’m pretty, my face is a classic oval face. I have big eyes and a high nose; these can all be achieved through plastic surgery. Perhaps you’ve seen too many faces that have gone under the knife, so you find me familiar. You have to know that beautiful people nowadays all look the same.”

Li An’an tried her best to dispel his suspicions.

Chu Yichen didn’t believe her, but he didn’t expose her!

“I want to eat other dishes tomorrow. Go buy the ingredients personally and cook them personally. Don’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I’ll settle all the scores tomorrow!”

Chu Yichen hung up the phone. He could wait for her to give herself away and see who sent her. There was no hurry.

His black luxury car arrived at an intersection.

Another black car drove up and stopped side by side. The window was rolled down, revealing an exquisite face.

“Yichen.”

Chu Yichen looked indifferent. He was not interested in responding to the woman’s flirting.

In his eyes, all women were the same. They were only after his status, money, or looks.

When Chu Yichen ignored her, Gu Na wasn’t discouraged. She asked the driver to follow him.

Her assistant in front spoke.

“Miss Gu, I heard that a few days ago, Bai Feifei drugged Chu Yichen. In the end, the drug was forced down her throat instead, and she was thrown at the door of her house. She gave a rather scandalous live performance to passers-by.”

Gu Na was overjoyed. “Haha, that idiot Bai Feifei wanted to be Chu Yichen’s woman? She’s not even fit to carry my shoes!”
