However, she didn't notice his gaze at all, and lazily walked forward. Suddenly, Qu Cunzi had a funny feeling: It was as if he was a lazy person who was lying in a desolate Central Park and licking lice.

He cleared his throat and spoke first, "Li Xiaobao, thank you for saving my life that night. "I know what I should do, but how do you want me to repay you?"

He fiddled with the golden pen in his hand, waiting for her to open her mouth. In peaceful times, saving one's life was the most valuable thing. The woman's luck was better than buying a lottery ticket, he thought. It was a simple task, but he might have given her enough to startle her jaw.

If she wanted money, if she wanted work, if she wanted a house or a car, he would satisfy her. However, it was very quiet.

His eyes gradually narrowed and shot towards the source of a strange sound like a laser beam — it was an extremely minute nose stroke.

Heavens, this woman's eyes were half closed. She had fallen asleep when she was talking to someone.

She was petite, oval shaped little face, fair and rosy skin, not peerlessly beautiful, but definitely pretty. In particular, her long eyelashes, which were so dark they covered her eyes, reminded her for no reason of the little daisies blooming in the morning sun.

He was originally looking down from above, but now he had no choice but to stand up and walk over. Suddenly, he had a mischievous mentality that he hadn't had in a long time as he yelled into her ear, "Hey …"

Li Xiaobao tilted her body and jumped up in shock.

"Hey, Li Xiaobao, I'm asking you. How do you want me to repay you for saving my life?"

There was a thin trickle of saliva at the corner of her mouth. She tugged at her sleeve and wiped it off. It was because he had been hiding and hiding for the past few days that he was too tired. He was so tired that he even wanted to get a good night's sleep.

He was so disgusted by the water that he took a step back. He thought to himself, I've never seen such a disgraceful woman before. However, he controlled his temper and repeated himself. "Li Xiaobao, what exactly do you want?"

Li Xiaobao came to her senses and understood what he meant. She looked around the luxurious office and suddenly felt ecstatic at the bottom of her heart: The chance has come. What safer place in this world than to hide here?

Sister Yang's warning was still fresh in his mind. "You have to hide, if my ex-husband finds you, you're dead. He might take revenge on you."

She forcefully suppressed her intense heartbeat: "Mr. Qu, do you really want to accept whatever I want?"

"Yes!"

"No lies?"

"You can't go back on your word."

Qu Cunzi's answer was firm, but a bad premonition suddenly flashed across his heart. Seeing this lady with a rosy red face and a smile looking at him from head to toe, why did he feel as if he was a prey that was about to be swallowed?

"Mr. Qu, this … Uh, it's better to go straight to the point. I'm not used to beating around the bush … I mean... "I want to stay in your house for a while …"

Qu Cunzi paused.

She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear her clearly, so she added with sincerity, "Mr. Qu, my requirements aren't high. As long as there's a room with food and clothes, it'll guarantee my safety.
