In the two-storey villa in the suburbs of the city, Florence Li had just put down her jacket when she heard the sound of footsteps from the stairs.
Florence Li immediately became alert and her footsteps became lighter. She held her breath and slowly approached the door switch.
“Crunch.”
The crystal chandelier at the top of the living room instantly lit up a large room.
The people at the stairs were obviously frightened by the sudden light. They stepped on the stairs unsteadily and slid down the stairs.
“Oh, Mommy!”
“Ah… Xiao Yi, you scared me to death.”
The child cried and Florence Li noticed that the person who slipped down the stairs was her son, Sis Yi.
Thankfully, when Florence Li turned on the lights, Sis Yi was almost at the bottom of the stairs, so when she slipped down, she had only thrown a leather block.
Florence Li hurriedly threw her things away and ran to pick up Shi Yi on the ground.
“Mommy… Mommy… uh.”
Shi Yi buried his head in Florence Li’s chest and cried even more fiercely. His small hands held Florence Li’s neck tightly.
“Shi Yi, didn’t Aunty coax you to sleep?” Why are you walking around the stairs so late?
Florence Li patted the back of Si Yi, comforting the frightened Shi Yi in her arms, and asked why she didn’t sleep.
When the housekeeper heard the sound, she ran down the stairs in her coat.
“Young Mistress, I… Young Master has to wait for you to come back before he sleeps. I was supposed to see him on holiday, so I accidentally fell asleep!”
The nanny looked apologetic and blamed herself for not taking a good look at Shi Yi.
“It’s okay. Go to sleep. I’ll take care of Shi Yi.”
Florence Li smiled, indicating that nothing big had happened, so she signaled for the nanny to rest first.
“Sit down, let me see if your foot is hurt!”
In the bedroom, Florence Li placed Shi Yi by the window, bent down and rolled up Shi Yi’s pyjamas to check on her injuries.
The back of Si Yi’s delicate feet was swollen and there was some bruises on her calf. Florence Li choked when she saw the injury on her leg.
“Mommy, don’t cry, I won’t hurt anymore.”
Si Si thought about Florence Li’s red eyes and was afraid that Florence Li would love her tears. She patted the back of Khai and said as she learned to be an adult.
Florence Li took the ice to help Sis Yi put the swollen back of her feet and held back the tears in her eyes.
Hotel.
Brian Si opened his fists and a delicate diamond ring lay in his palm.
The diamond ring was custom-made by Brian Si, and the inlaid diamond was personally polished by him. It was engraved with two letters, an abbreviation of Florence Li’s name.
Initially, Brian Si planned to help Florence Li bring the ring with her, but Florence Li did not give Brian Si any reason to get close.
Brian Si’s thin lips slightly disappeared, and his brows that had not been relaxed for the whole night were still tightly furrowed into Chuan.
“President, Miss Antonia has a new situation. See if you should advance.”
The man’s voice was low as he asked about Brian Si’s arrangement.
“No need, just keep staring. When he comes back, it’ll be the start of the show!”
Brian Si pinched the ring in his fingertips and looked at the light for a while. He smiled indiscernible and clenched the ring back to his palm.
“Alright, CEO Si, I’ll keep an eye on Miss Antonia. I promise nothing will happen.”
The man showed his ability to Brian Si.
“Yes.”
Brian Si ended the call with one word.
“The show is about to begin.”
Brian Si watched the fire across the shore and watched his manipulated chess pieces enter his encirclement step by step.
Early the next morning.
Rodney went downstairs early in the morning to pick up Brian Si, but what he didn’t know was that Brian Si had left the hotel last night.
At this time, Brian Si was sleeping in the bar room.
“Ting ring… Ding dong.”
The phone vibrated in his chest. Brian Si turned over unhappily and took out his phone and put it in his ear.
“Yes.”
“CEO, I’m at the hotel!”
Rodney vaguely felt that things were not right. He could smell the strong alcohol through the phone. Rodney guessed that his trip was futile.
Sure enough, Rodney’s intuition was right. Brian Si was indeed not in the hotel.
“Pub 537.”
“Alright, we’ll arrive in ten minutes!”
After hanging up, Rodney helplessly bent down and drove towards the bar.
At the airport, Antonia wore a black letter cap and a casual dress, outlining her beautiful body. The sunglasses in the square frame covered her palm-sized face.
When she got out of the car, Antonia looked around warily. She pulled her hat down, supported her glasses and strode towards the airport.
No one was informed of Randolph Si’s flight back to City A. As for where Antonia learned from, even Randolph Si did not expect it.
“Han Ming!”
A custom-made France suit was casually put on top of his head and leather shoes. His figure was on par with Brian Si from his back. His back was wide and his waist was narrow, and his slender muscles flowed down smoothly.
When she saw Randolph Si coming out, Antonia lowered her voice and waved her hand.
When Randolph Si heard someone calling him, he frowned and looked around. At last, he found Antonia waving in the crowd.
He didn’t have a good impression of Antonia and her sudden appearance at the airport made him feel disgusted.
“How did you know that I came back today?”
Randolph Si took off his sunglasses and raised an eyebrow to ask Antonia.
“… I got someone to ask.”
Antonia didn’t hide the fact that she had spent money to buy it.
“What, can’t you get along with CEO Si?” I heard that CEO Lu took you to the apartment. Did you get it again?
Randolph Si ignored the sarcasm of Antonia’s flushed cheeks with guns and sticks.
Antonia felt a chill in her heart towards Randolph Si. If not for the sake of being forced by Su Yan’s father, she wouldn’t have come to the airport to pick up the plane and felt like she was humiliating herself.
“Master Si, you won’t be able to go there. You’ve been abroad for so long, so it’s not like you’re back.”
Antonia scoffed and retorted quietly.
Looking at Antonia coldly, Randolph Si stopped talking and strode forward.
“Let’s go. The hotel has been arranged. Get the wind for you!”
Antonia quickly followed.
“No need, you can go. I’ll go back to the old residence.”
Randolph Si rejected Antonia’s invitation, walked out of the airport and got into the car he had prepared first.
“Randolph Si, you.”
As she stared at the speeding car, Antonia stomped her feet angrily.
The person hiding in the black van took back the lens of a long tube, flipped through the photos taken and passed them to Brian Si.
“Ding dong.”
The phone screen on the side flashed.
Brian Si put down the porcelain cup in his hand, grabbed his phone and received a MMS.
“Sure enough, I can’t bear it anymore.”
Brian Si smirked, put down his phone, and continued to carry the quilt on the table. He put the tea into his mouth. His expression was subtle and profound.
