Chapter 73

Cheng Ling searched the official website of Zha Yufanhou on the web. Saw an announcement they made today, it was a letter of apology.

It said that the magazine published today has major flaws, and it will be recalled at a high price!

There are still many netizens who regret not buying more copies.

Cheng Ling didn't look any further. She believed in Xi Shiche. There will be no mistakes in what Xi Shiche promised.

At that time, the door was knocked.

Cheng Ling walked over barefoot and opened the door. It turned out to be the old housekeeper.

"Old butler, why are you still up so late?"

When he turned on the computer just now, Cheng Ling realized that it was almost twelve o'clock, and the elderly usually go to bed early and get up early.

The old housekeeper smiled. He just likes Cheng Ling who knows how to care about people. Only when such a person is with Young Master Xi can he warm Young Master Xi's heart.

Thinking of Xi Shiche, thinking of tomorrow's day, his slightly cloudy eyes were stained with thick fog.

"Old butler?"

Cheng Ling called out a few more times, and the old butler was pulled out of his contemplation.

"Ah, it's like this, Mr. Xi said too...Miss Cheng hasn't eaten all night. Let me bring something to eat."

Although I really want to call Cheng Ling his wife. But as a professional housekeeper, one cannot disobey the meaning of the master.

Therefore, the old housekeeper still called Cheng Ling Miss Cheng. But in his heart, Cheng Ling was Mrs. Xi.

Cheng Ling wanted to take the old butler's plate, but was rejected by the old butler.

"Let me do it. Young Master Xi said that Miss Cheng is very weak now and is not suitable for carrying heavy things."

Can such a small thing be considered heavy?

Moreover, what exactly did Xi Shiche say to the old housekeeper, and why he could say it all, wouldn't he feel ashamed?

The old butler directly put the things on the dining table in the room, "Thank you, old butler, it's late now, you'd better go back and rest, I'll just pack up the things."

"Miss Cheng, can I ask you something?"

The old butler hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to make a request to Cheng Ling.

The old housekeeper was always nice to her, and Cheng Ling responded without thinking, "No problem, as long as I can do it, I can do it."

"Then please Miss Cheng try to stay by Young Master Xi's side tomorrow."

What kind of request is this?

Seeing the old butler's serious eyes, the carelessness in Cheng Ling's heart dissipated. She wanted to ask something, but the old butler withdrew his expression, "Then please leave it to Miss Cheng."

The old butler didn't give Cheng Ling a chance to figure it out, so he quickly left the room.

Only then did Cheng Ling realize that the old butler's movements were so agile.

The supper prepared by the old butler was very light, and the stomach felt much more comfortable after eating. Cheng Ling lay paralyzed on the big bed, without the people around him, the double bed seemed even wider.

In the silent night, Cheng Ling was sore all over, and Cheng Ling, who should have fallen asleep when he touched the pillow, tossed and turned, thinking all the time, where did Xi Shiche go at night?

Time was passing by gradually, but Cheng Ling couldn't sleep no matter what, the sheep counted to a thousand.

boom boom boom

Suddenly there was thunder and lightning outside the window, and a blazing light cut through the silent sky, illuminating the dark night sky.

When the light came into the room, Cheng Ling opened his eyes and fixed his eyes on the closed door, as if he was waiting for something.

With a click, the closed door was suddenly opened, followed by a familiar figure. Hearing the sound of steady footsteps getting closer, Cheng Ling quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Through the faint light, Xi Shiche saw that Cheng Ling was sleeping soundly. He took off his rain-wet suit and hung it on the hanger. He slowed down and walked towards Cheng Ling slowly.

In the darkness, complex emotions were dormant in those deep eyes, and when they touched the petite person on the bed, they suddenly softened.

With her eyes closed, Cheng Ling's senses and hearing have risen several levels. She heard Xi Shiche's delicate sounds of changing clothes and going to bed.

He pulled her into his arms forcefully, and tightly clamped her waist with his arms, strangling Cheng Ling's chest so that he could hardly breathe.

At this moment, Xi Shiche is very abnormal!

The cold embrace and trembling arms seemed to be afraid that something important would be lost.

Cheng Lingming knew that this was impossible, but his heart softened inexplicably. His little hands unconsciously passed over Xi Shiche's waist and climbed onto his back, as if wanting to warm him and give him strength.

Xi Shiche looked down at her. On that delicate little face, the long eyelashes trembled, and it was obvious that she was pretending to sleep.

Can't even pretend!

He let out a muffled laugh, glanced at the darkness in his eyes, and gently pressed a kiss on Cheng Ling's forehead.

"Good night."

Cheng Ling didn't know if it was because the temperature of the man next to her was very comfortable, or because of the sudden onset of sleepiness. In short, she fell asleep in less than five seconds.

When Cheng Ling woke up, the sun was already high, and she was the only one left on the wide double bed.

Oops, going to be late!

She did not forget the request made by Xi Shiche last night. Today, she will report to his company.

Washing and changing clothes very quickly, like a tornado, picked up the bag and ran outside.

"Madam, no, Miss Cheng, where are you going in such a hurry?"

The old butler still couldn't change his words for a while. He saw Cheng Ling running down the stairs like the wind, and when he ran past him, he suddenly said, "I'm going to work."

"It's only eleven o'clock now. Didn't Ms. Cheng report back to the company in the afternoon? Hurry up and have something to fill your stomach."

What the old butler was thinking about was whether they were full and whether they had eaten well enough.

After he mentioned it, Cheng Ling woke up. Xi Shiche did ask her to report back in the afternoon.

I don't know whether to call him considerate or insidious.

The chef of Xi's family is very good at cooking, and Cheng Ling likes it very much. She ate very happily, but the old housekeeper hesitated to speak. Cheng Ling bit the noodles and swallowed hard, "Old housekeeper, what's the matter?"

The old housekeeper hesitated, and asked, "Did Mr. Xi come back last night?"

According to previous years' experience, Xi Shiche should stay in that place for one night and not return all night, but it rained heavily last night, the place was so remote and empty, there was no shelter from the wind and rain, how could the old housekeeper not be worried.

"Well, I'm back."

She chewed the noodles and spoke a little awkwardly, but the old butler heard it all at once, and excitedly held Cheng Ling's arm, "Really? Is Young Master Xi really back?"

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

The old butler was overly emotional and pinched Cheng Ling's hand very hard. Cheng Ling frowned in pain. The old butler immediately reacted. He let go of his hands and apologized to Cheng Ling ashamedly, but his eyes were hard to suppress joy.

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited. It's really great that Mr. Xi is back."

Xi Shiche's cold embrace and that inexplicably depressed mood suddenly appeared in Cheng Ling's mind.

The hand that was eating stopped.

"Is he unhappy? Was last night a day?"

Everyone will have a special unforgettable day, whether happy or sad.
