Chapter 109: I’ve Never Thought About Liking Someone. If You Don’t Mind…

Tang Li stood there and glared at Qi Yihan, wondering why this man had changed so much.

Qi Yihan tried to stuff his tall body into the sleeping bag, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pack himself into the sleeping bag. He then gave up and looked at Tang Li.

Without saying anything, he stared at her with his deep eyes.

Tang Li couldn’t stand his sharp gaze anymore and finally said, “I guess it’s a little too small for you. Let’s swap. You can have the bed.”

Qi Yihan sat up and said gentlemanly, “I’ll have to trouble you then. I’ll get someone to customize a sleeping bag for me tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

She nodded and walked over.

When she rolled to the edge of the bed, Qi Yihan handed her the sleeping bag.

Tang Li took the sleeping bag and quickly went in to lie down.

Qi Yihan turned off the light and turned on the bedside lamp before lying down as well.

The two of them laid side by side but could not fall asleep.

After a while, Qi Yihan turned to look at the woman beside him. The more he interacted with her, the more attracted he was to her. The more he wanted to understand her, the more he wanted to know how much more capable she was.

“Tang Li.”

His purposely lowered voice carried an indescribable magnetic allure, like a lover whispering by the ear. Tang Li was meditating with her eyes closed, but when he called her, she opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at him.

Qi Yihan looked at the ceiling and said slowly, “My father had me at a very old age. My mother and the mothers of my three brothers and two sisters are not the same people. When my mother gave birth to me, she died in childbirth, which is why my father especially dotes on me. He has been training me ever since I was little. When I was 18, he said that he would make me the CEO of the Qi Corporation. At that time, no one in the family was supportive of this decision-making.”

“They’ve always felt that I stole what was supposed to be theirs, so they’ve always been at odds with me. Especially after my father’s health deteriorated, they’ve become even more aggressive towards me.”

“Father always said that peace at home is the most important thing. As long as they don’t go too far, I can just pretend nothing happens.”

Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan’s side face. The dim light from the bedside lamp shone on his face, giving him a touch of mystery. At this moment, he looked unapproachable, like he was protected by an electric current that prevented everyone from moving closer to him.

As Qi Yihan tilted his head, their eyes met.

Tang Li found that under the faint bedside light, his eyes were darker than ink.

He continued, “Marrying you was Father’s idea. I heard that it was because your father helped my father once, so he asked me to marry you. I’ve always thought that as long as you don’t go overboard, I can open one eye and shut the other, but…”

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

For some reason, Tang Li’s heart skipped a beat.

She had the feeling that he had already seen through her and knew she wasn’t the real Tang Li all along.

She was wondering if she should bring everything out in the open if he asked her.

However, at this moment, Qi Yihan looked away and said calmly, “Tang Li, I’ve never thought about liking anyone. If you don’t mind…”

Tang Li’s heart started racing again. She subconsciously held her breath and waited for him to continue.

However, after waiting for nearly half an hour, nothing came after that. Tang Li was a little unhappy.

What did he mean?

Why did he only say half of what he wanted to say!

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t sleep. Tang Li tilted her head. “Qi Yihan, you…”

Judging from the man’s steady breathing, he must have fallen asleep.

Tang Li was speechless.

She took a deep breath and mumbled, “Calm down Tang Li, you are not angry. He is your man, don’t get angry with him.”

With that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

When she fell asleep, the man who was supposed to be asleep opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at the woman who was sleeping peacefully beside him. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Some things were not suitable to be said now.

But he liked what she mumbled just now.

…

When Tang Li woke up the next day, Qi Yihan was no longer in the bedroom.

When she went downstairs, she happened to see Qi Yihan standing in the courtyard with someone.

The person standing opposite him was blocked by Qi Yihan, so she couldn’t see the person clearly.

But she could faintly hear the person saying in a business-like manner, “These are all the real estate under the Qi family that needs to be looked at by a feng shui master.”

Hearing that, Tang Li stopped in her tracks.

When did Qi Yihan start to believe in feng shui?

However, she remembered that the richer people were, the more they were into feng shui, so she didn’t think too much about it. She prepared to walk past them and take a walk outside.

As she approached them, they stopped talking.

“Good morning, madam.”

Tang Li turned to look at the man standing opposite Qi Yihan.

The man was slightly shorter than Qi Yihan and was probably about the same age as him. He was wearing an iron-gray suit and looked very gentle. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and his eyes shone with wisdom. He gave off a serious and capable vibe.

Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li and said, “Tang Li, come over here for a second.”

Tang Li walked over and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Qi Yihan introduced the man opposite him to her. “My secretary, Si Haocheng.”

Tang Li nodded at Si Haocheng.

Secretary Si was a little surprised. He had seen Tang Li before, but at that time, Tang Li gave him the impression that she was an arrogant person who looked down on people, so he did not like her that much.

However, the feeling Tang Li gave him today was completely different. She was still the same person, but the feeling she gave off was drastically different from before.

Just as Secretary Si was feeling confused, Qi Yihan handed the thick document to Tang Li. “These are the addresses of various real estate and companies under the Qi family. Can you help me look at their feng shui?”

Tang Li took it and flipped it open. After reading it for a while, she looked at him in surprise. “All these?”

“That’s right. We have been looking for feng shui masters anyway. Since you know it, I might as well ask you to do it.”

Qi Yihan was so serious that Secretary Si almost believed him.

He recalled that his CEO was never a feng shui believer, but why did he suddenly believe in feng shui?

Also, when did Madam learn feng shui? Wasn’t her major English back in college?

Tang Li didn’t suspect Qi Yihan. She felt that what he said made sense. Since he was going to look for someone else to look at feng shui, she might as well take on the job.

At this moment, Qi Yihan added, “When the time comes, your pay will go to the corporate account. You don’t have to give me a discount just because we’re husband and wife.”

Tang Li glanced at the thick stack of documents in her hand, and each of them represented a property or company’s location. She immediately smiled and said, “Alright ~”

Secretary Si stared at them in wide-eyed amazement.
