Chapter 551: Chapter 551: If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll poison you mute!

Li Tianyi held a wine glass, feeling utterly helpless.

Mei Tian Sha Zi sat beside him, not daring to make a sound.

The plan had failed, and both of them were in a bad mood.

Mei Tian Sha Zi said softly, “Tianyi, what should we do next?”

This trip to Hua Country couldn’t just end like this.

They had returned for something important.

“For now, let’s lay low and hibernate.”

Even though Mei Tian Sha Zi didn’t like being passive, she preferred to be proactive.

But in front of Li Tianyi, she was willing to listen.

“Tianyi, I’ll do as you say.”

“Sha Zi, when I say hibernate, I mean in every way. Although you’ve eliminated the risk, are you sure you weren’t discovered?”

Mei Tian Sha Zi’s heart skipped a beat, instantly understanding the implication in Li Tianyi’s words.

“I understand.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi stood up and went to the bathroom.

She looked at the curling iron above the sink, her gaze becoming sharp.

…

Sister Fang finished drawing and handed the picture to Nan Qiao.

“This is what I saw, but it was quite dark, so I’m not sure if there are any discrepancies.”

Nan Qiao looked at the picture and put it in her bag.

“You stay here to recover. Once you’re healed, don’t go back for a while. Find a secluded place to stay. Wait for things to calm down before returning.”

Sister Fang snorted, “I’m not leaving! I want to find that person and retaliate! Ah, not one stab, but ten, a hundred stabs!”

Hou Ze: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, everyone knows how to brag!”

Sister Fang gritted her teeth in anger, “Shut up!”

Hou Ze: “Do you think I’ll shut up just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?”

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Nan Qiao quickly intervened, “Hou Ze, escort me out, I’m heading back.”

“Alright, boss, this way please.” Hou Ze’s attitude was polite and respectful.

Just a moment ago, he was bickering with Sister Fang, but now he was acting like a lackey, almost making Sister Fang want to throw something in anger.

Hou Ze escorted Nan Qiao to the door and continued to ensure she got into the car safely.

“Houzi, try not to provoke Sister Fang too much.”

Hou Ze was about to ask Nan Qiao why she was suddenly so considerate of Sister Fang.

Then he heard Nan Qiao say, “If she gets so mad, it’ll be hard for us to clean up the mess if she dies here.”

Hou Ze chuckled, “Boss, you’re always on point.”

Nan Qiao: “…”

“I’m telling you this seriously, think about it.” Nan Qiao reiterated her perspective.

“Boss, I hear everything you say, and I believe you. Don’t worry, just because I argue with her doesn’t mean I’ll let her die here. If she died here, the police would definitely investigate me, and I don’t want that kind of trouble.”

Nan Qiao was very pleased with Hou Ze’s response, thinking this was the right approach.

“I’m leaving now, take care.”

“Boss, I definitely will.”

Nan Qiao drove away.

Hou Ze went upstairs to grab his car keys since he also needed to leave.

Sister Fang was drinking medicine when she saw Hou Ze returning and teased him, “Oh, why are you back? Couldn’t bear to leave me?”

Hou Ze rolled his eyes, “You? Me? Unable to leave?”

Sister Fang was an elegant woman, always confident about her looks. Although she was five years older than Hou Ze, she was still quite young!

A woman like her, with money, a great figure, and looks, how could she lack charm?

Sister Fang laughed and asked, “What, do you like Yu Meng? Too bad, her man is strong, not just a hundred times stronger than you. I’ve seen her man, and you could never match his looks or aura.”

“The boss is my idol! My leader! If you keep slandering, I’ll poison you mute!” Hou Ze took the keys, whistling as he walked away.

Sister Fang slammed the table in anger, nearly driven mad by Hou Ze.

…

Nan Qiao returned to Li Yehan’s place.

Housekeeper Liang learned Nan Qiao was back and immediately had the servants bring dinner.

The aroma of chicken soup and enticing dishes were as beautifully presented as artwork, so exquisite.

Nan Qiao sipped the chicken soup; it tasted almost like the one at the Bai Family’s.

“Young Lady, we raise our chickens here, slaughtering one daily to make soup for you. Anytime you want, it’s available.”

Nan Qiao: “You raise chickens?”

“Yes, Young Lady. Anytime you want chicken soup, just come. Not only do we have chickens, but we’ve planted plenty of vegetables too. In spring, we’ll plant some fruit trees to enrich the garden. It’ll be both ornamental and edible.”

Nan Qiao: “Did Li Yehan ask you to do this?”

Housekeeper Liang smiled warmly, “Mr. Li asked us to prioritize your preferences, with you as the starting point. As long as you’re happy, he’s happy too.”

Sweetness filled Nan Qiao’s heart.

Seeing the happiness on Nan Qiao’s face, Housekeeper Liang also felt content.

Housekeeper Liang had been unmarried and childless, managing the entire manor, attending to Li Yehan’s needs.

He always wondered when Li Yehan would get married.

Now that he’s married, Housekeeper Liang felt his wish had been fulfilled, happy for Li Yehan.

“Young Lady, if you have any requests, just let us know. You’re the mistress of this house; your requests are Mr. Li’s commands, and we’ll do everything to fulfill them.”

“Thank you, Housekeeper Liang, I have no requests for now.”

Housekeeper Liang: “Young Lady, then I won’t disturb your meal.”

Housekeeper Liang respectfully exited.

Nan Qiao enjoyed the delicious meal alone; after finishing, her stomach churned.

She rushed to the bathroom, vomiting violently.

Nan Qiao washed her face with warm water, observing her pale reflection in the mirror.

At that moment, Li Yehan’s voice came from outside the door.

“Qiaoqiao?”

Nan Qiao gently patted her face, bringing a rosy hue back, before stepping out.

“I’m here.”

Nan Qiao stepped out.

Li Yehan was taking off his coat and suit, disinfecting them.

Afterward, he approached Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao reached out, hugging Li Yehan’s waist, her face pressed against his chest.

This unusually affectionate and clingy behavior made Li Yehan realize something was off.

“Did someone bully you?”

Nan Qiao shook her head, “No one bullied me. I just missed you a bit.”

Li Yehan gently patted her back, then picked her up.

Nan Qiao dangled in the air, clinging to Li Yehan like an ornament.

Li Yehan sat on the sofa, like comforting a daughter, full of affection yet concern.

“Li Yehan, your gaze is too tender.”

Li Yehan: “…”

“Qiaoqiao, did something happen?”

“Nothing really.” Nan Qiao leaned on Li Yehan’s shoulder, feeling lazy and tired.

“I’m off tomorrow, let’s go out and have some fun.”

“Aren’t you busy? With such a big family business, you mustn’t give others the chance to exploit any gaps.”

Li Yehan looked into Nan Qiao’s tearful eyes, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.

Nan Qiao quickly dodged, pushing Li Yehan away.

Li Yehan: ?

“Qiaoqiao, do you disdain me?”
