“What happened to Bess? You should know about this.”
As sloppy as Long Ting looked on the outside, he was a rather insightful person. How could he not know about such things?
The man walked past her and sat on the sofa. “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that I overheard her and Gu Na at the bar yesterday…”
Long Ting was about to narrate what happened yesterday when the office door swung open. Chu Yichen strode in, bringing a gust of cold air. He glared at Long Ting when he heard what the man was saying.
Long Ting was so frightened that he immediately kept quiet and didn’t dare utter another word.
Li An’an knew that Chu Yichen didn’t want her to know. “Why won’t you let him go on?”
Chu Yichen put his documents down on his desk and turned around. “It’s not a big deal, you don’t need to know.” He did not want her to know about his punishment for Bess and Gu Na. He didn’t want her to think that he was a
ruthless person.
Li An’an knew that there was no point in making a fuss. Chu Yichen would not change his mind easily.
The man turned to Long Ting. “Why are you here?”
Long Ting got down to business. “It’s about the competition. The planning department has discussed it. This time, the shortlisting of 15 from the 20 contestants will be filmed on a nearby island. The theme will be beaches, beautiful women, and luxury cars. However, this island is yours, so I wanted to come over and tell you.”
“Get Li Cheng to arrange this. They may film in any location. Just don’t enter my private villa.”
“Roger.” Long Ting nodded. In fact, hotels and entertainment venues had already been built on that island, and part of it was open for tourism. He only came to confirm with the CEO.
Li An’an was surprised that they were going to the island to film.
“How many days on the island?” she asked.
Long Ting glanced at her in surprise. “Are you interested in this kind of competition too? Oh, right, you used to be a car model as well.” He continued, “This time, the filming will take a longer time. A week. After all, it will be broadcast through the satellite. Moreover, we’ve invited many popular celebrities from the entertainment industry to participate in the show. We’ll require a high standard in filming.”
Li An’an’s head hurt. What would happen to the children if she were to be gone for a week?
“I’m going back to the office, don’t forget my lunch.” Before Long Ting left, he whispered into Li An’an’s ear that it was a huge loss, having had no food even after being kicked a few times.
Li An’an nodded in agreement. After all, Long Ting would have the power to decide if she could continue with the competition once the matter was exposed. It was better to bury the hatchet now.
Long Ting even considerately shut the office door behind him when he left.
Chu Yichen pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips. “Are you interested in the competition?”
Li An’an replied guiltily, “Yes, a little.”
“If you like, I’ll go with you if I have the time.”
She shook her head. “No, I’ll just watch it on TV. You don’t have to accompany me since you’re so busy.” What a joke. She wasn’t ready to die just yet.
Chu Yichen nibbled on her red lips. Her rejection made him yearn for her even more. Because of her, he had dealt with Bess, but this heartless woman continued to keep him at an arm’s length.
After venting his anger, Chu Yichen finally let go of her. “Get off work early today and prepare more dishes to send over to my mother at noon. Remember to send me some too.”
“Okay.”
Chu Yichen lowered his head again, feeling that he simply couldn’t get enough of her.
Li An’an felt weak from his kiss. In the end, she covered her lips with all her might. If they continued kissing, she’d have trouble meeting people.
After leaving the office, Li An’an hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a look in the mirror. Half of her lipstick had been kissed off. She quickly touched up her makeup.
Noon.
She and the butler were getting ready to send lunch over to Chu Yichen’s mother.
“Butler Chu, you don’t have to keep chuckling in front of me.” Li An’an was speechless. Why was Butler Chu giving her strange looks ever since she returned? His chuckles made her hair stand on end..
