Zhuang Shili slowly got out of the car and proudly looked at the fiery-red sports car. When Duanmu Yi noticed Zhuang Shili, a bright smile appeared on his unruly face. Then, he strode towards the manor.

"Hi, Young Master Zhuang, how rare, to actually meet Young Master Zhuang in such a place!"

This district could at most be considered high-end. People with his status should only appear in luxurious villa communities.

Zhuang Shili's lips curled up as he lightly responded.

"Isn't it the same for CEO Duanmu? I thought he would only appear in front of the world's top 20 consortium's Qian Jin's house!"

The two men acted like they were familiar with each other, yet they secretly greeted each other with hostility and courteously exchanged greetings.

The two most legendary men in the business world had heard of each other before. However, since they didn't have any direct business dealings with each other, they didn't have many opportunities to interact with each other.

"Tell me …" Will she come down? "

Duanmu Yi asked with a smile. Zhuang Shijun waved the lighter in his hand to light the cigarette in his hand.

"No way!"

"Why?"

Duanmu Yi was a little puzzled, but instantly returned to his normal appearance.

"She doesn't dare!"

"So sure?"

"Of course I know my woman best!"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I'll accompany you!"

Simply spitting out two words, Zhuang Shizhong glanced at Duanmu Yi. Of course, he could openly go and find her, but this was the situation in the battles between experts. He was not in a hurry to win and be satisfied.

The smile on Duanmu Yi's face gradually faded, replaced with a cold expression.

"Alright, then come with me and wait!"

The two men stood silently in the night. Their eyes intersected with murderous intent.

It was not easy for the two people outside, and it was even worse for Autumn Leaf upstairs. Especially when she saw the way the two were at loggerheads, she really wanted to jump off the building. If she really did jump down, then everything would be fine!

Sigh! Lying on the bed, she sighed and thought for a long time. Finally, she made a difficult decision: she was not going down!

She thought, if she continued like this, no one would be able to offend her, right? Because once she went down, she would have to leave the village. After all, she … It was his woman, but such an action would definitely hurt Duanmu Yi's self-esteem.

Actually, this was not the most important reason. What she feared the most was seeing that thousand-year-old face of Zhuang Huili. She did not forget what she had just said. She did not know how he would punish her.

Just thinking of this was enough to make one tremble with fear, let alone going down to face him head on!

Letting out a long breath, she struggled out of bed and turned out all the lights in the room. Then she quickly jumped onto the bed and covered herself with a blanket.

Downstairs.

Seeing her extinguish the light, Zhuang Shili took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand and then lazily threw it to the side. He lowered his head and crushed it.

When he raised his eyes again, he had already returned to his usual expressionless face. Glancing at Duanmu Yi, he, Luoluo, turned and got on the carriage to leave. He knew she wouldn't dare to come down!

As for Duanmu Yi, although he still had a nonchalant smile on his face, his enchanting eyes were already filled with ice-cold chilliness. Although there was a difference between coming and going, it all depended on fate in the end!

Staring at the direction where Zhuang Shicheng had left in, he hopped into his own sports car and drove off as well.

The next day, Autumn Leaf woke up very early. That's right, with such a heavy heart, would she be able to sleep soundly? The first thing she did when she got up was run to the window and look out. She was relieved to find that there was no one there.

After she officially returned to school, she began her two-week exam week in the dark. Every day, she would be busy beyond recognition, studying until she was about to vomit blood.

Although she had applied for a month's leave, because of the recording of her old teacher's class, she was not that far behind. Furthermore, she had asked her teacher about the class since she started, so her grades were still pretty good. Her goal was a first-class scholarship, so it shouldn't be a problem.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but she really didn't have time. She could only take a look when her classmates weren't here, but luckily, it was a very simple lesson, so she only needed to take a look at it seriously.

One day, she finished another exam, was dragging her tired body to sleep on the bus home when her cell phone suddenly prompted a text message to come in. She sleepily opened it and immediately lost all sleepiness.

"Come to the house tonight and get your textbooks!"

These few simple words were as domineering and cold as his own. His stern face immediately jumped into her mind. She had been so busy these past few days that she had forgotten about it. It was just that she had finished taking the exams for this class, so it was no longer important if she got the textbooks back.

"I've already completed my examination. I don't need any textbooks, so I won't be disturbing you. Hur Hur!"

After considering it for a long time and feeling that this reason was perfect, she finally sent the text message with hesitation. She was still afraid of him. After what happened that night, he wouldn't let her off so easily. That was why she didn't want to send herself to the tiger's den.

"Arrive before 6 o'clock!"

There was no room for negotiation in the same commanding tone.

Autumn Leaf unwillingly pursed her lips, leaning back in her seat and continuing to wander about, but no matter what, she couldn't return to her initial leisure and comfort. It was as though there was something scratching at her heart, causing her to feel extremely flustered.

In the evening, she still went and arrived at six on time. Housekeeper Xu was very happy to see her. He held her hand and asked about her warmth.

"Autumn Leaf, why have you come?"

She had been recovering here for a month, and she had grown to like this cute, real little girl more and more. She was quiet but no more than dull, she was gentle and kind, she was smart enough to know what to say and do.

"I'm here to pick up my textbook!"

Autumn Leaf complained with great dissatisfaction.

"A textbook?"

Housekeeper Xu was confused.

"Yeah, last time I left in a hurry and forgot that this textbook is here. Your young master must let me take it!"

Autumn Leaf cursed that domineering man several times in anger in her heart. He was truly mad. He had already said that she had finished her exam and that her textbook was useless. He still wanted her to come and get it.

Housekeeper Xu froze, and then smiled dubiously.

"Since the young master has said so, he will definitely be back soon. I'll get the kitchen to prepare dinner first!"

With that, he happily turned around and left. Ever since Autumn Leaf left, the young master rarely came back to eat, today … It looked like he would be back soon.

The young master was quite adorable. He clearly wanted to call her over, but he found it awkward to find such an excuse to force her over. In the end, the other party had a stomach full of complaints.

However, this was a good sign. At least it meant that the young master was willing to focus on the woman, and she was really looking forward to it. The young master and this girl could achieve success together, and she knew that the young master had yet to avenge the young master.

Ye Zichen sat in the living room in boredom for a long time without seeing Ye Zichen come back. He took out his phone and saw that it was actually 7 o'clock! She couldn't help but be angry. Wasn't she supposed to be there before 6 o'clock? I didn't expect him to miss his appointment first!

Then she thought that as the CEO of a company, perhaps he had some sort of social interaction that made him unable to leave, so the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and she waited another hour.

During this time, Housekeeper Xu had called for her several times and told her to go eat first. He said that their young master might have something to do and would come back late.

At this point, she was hungry to the point that her chest was sticking to her back. She had originally wanted to wait for him to come back to eat with her, but now it seemed that she wouldn't be able to hold on. When he still hadn't returned, she couldn't help but send him a text message.

"Are you coming back or not?"

After half a day, when she did not receive any reply, she started to feel sleepy. She stayed in the study for another hour or so, reading a book until she could barely open her eyes. When Housekeeper Xu entered the study, he saw how sleepy she was, and could not help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Autumn Leaf, it's already so late. Let's sleep here for tonight!"

She opened her eyes in a daze and took a look at her phone. It was actually past ten o'clock. Her sleepiness suddenly disappeared and her heart gradually turned completely cold. Steward Xu saw that she was not in a good mood and quickly comforted her.

Autumn Leaf, don't worry about it. Young master is always like this, he doesn't care about anything when he's busy with work, not to mention eating.

For some reason, hearing Housekeeper Xu say that he worked so hard suddenly made Autumn Leaf's heart ache, and her resentment towards him less intense.

However, she was still a bit unwilling to give up. She took out her cell phone and dialed his number. Unexpectedly, the cold message that came from inside the phone was closed: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off!"

Her nose suddenly felt a bit sour. She felt as if something had stuck in her heart, causing her to feel uncomfortable. What did he take her to be?

Warm bed tools that come and go as they are summoned? Even if that was the case, there should at least be a message for him if he didn't come back!
