Chapter 115 was all eaten by Xiao Ai; I didn't touch a single bite!
Chapter 115 was all eaten by Xiao Ai; I didn't touch a single bite!
The fact that they haven't spoken about it yet means that the situation hasn't gotten out of control yet, and intervening rashly could easily backfire.
He shook his head, went upstairs to take a shower, and cuddled with his wife to sleep, feeling incredibly happy.
The weather in mid-September was refreshing and pleasant, with a gentle breeze and sunlight streaming through the windows, making the room feel warm and cozy.
The person on the bed lazily opened their eyes, stretched their arms and legs, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
Cheng Ai sat up, quickly washed and dressed, and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast—no, lunch.
However, as soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, a rich and intoxicating fragrance wafted over my nose.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
Her stomach protested, and she gently clutched her flat stomach, then followed the aroma.
Finally, Cheng Ai stopped in front of the bathroom door in the living room on the first floor.
By pressing her ear close to the door, she could clearly hear the sound of food packaging being torn open.
The villa owner could have simply eaten openly without being so cautious.
Therefore, it must have been the servant who took the master's food and secretly ate it here.
It smells so good! I'll definitely have to savor it a few times after I catch the thief.
Cheng Ai gently turned the doorknob, her pupils dilating instantly.
A woman was seen sitting on the toilet, frantically eating spicy snacks. When she noticed someone coming in, she quickly hid the snacks behind her back, her guilty eyes darting around nervously.
The moment their eyes met, Cheng Ai locked the door, ran excitedly to her side, swallowed hard with shining eyes, and asked eagerly, "Sister Xiaolin, what are you eating? Can you share some with me?"
Helpless, Li Xiaolin reluctantly handed over the spicy strips, saying seriously, "Hanmo forbids me from eating snacks. If you want to eat them, you must keep your mouth shut!"
Cheng Ai solemnly agreed, took the spicy strips, and happily ate them.
Seeing the other person magically produce another bag of potato chips, she quickened her chewing pace and stared longingly at it.
Li Xiaolin couldn't bear to look, so she reluctantly took out a small piece of potato chip and handed it over.
Cheng Ai didn't mind, took the snack and started eating, not forgetting to ask the question that had been bothering her, "Why are you afraid that Brother Lü will find out you're eating snacks? What will happen if he finds out? Will he beat you up?"
Li Xiaolin chuckled, then sighed mournfully, "Oh, don't even mention it. Ever since Hanmo brought me back from Jingke's house, he's forbade me to eat this and that, saying it's to protect the pregnancy!"
"Huh?" Cheng Ai was shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Pregnant women can't eat snacks? Why didn't you say so earlier!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly snatched the potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth.
By the time Li Xiaolin realized what was happening, her hands were already empty.
But worse was yet to come, because the door opened.
Lu Hanmo leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, toying with the spare key in his hand, and stared at her leisurely. "Wife, what are you doing?"
Li Xiaolin looked up in alarm, pointed at the girl next to her, and said hurriedly, "Xiao Ai ate it all, I didn't touch a single bite!"
Cheng Ai paused in her hearty eating, then nodded blankly, "That's right!"
She had just promised Xiaolin to keep the secret, and she couldn't break her promise.
Lu Hanmo sighed softly, telling Cheng Ai to go eat first, while he stayed behind to teach this disobedient pregnant woman a lesson.
Cheng Ai didn't know what they said or did in the restroom, but when they came out, one was flushed and the other was full of energy.
Li Xiaolin sat down in a chair, shook her aching right hand, and lowered her head to eat, trying to hide her embarrassment.
It's just a few bites of spicy snacks and potato chips, is it really necessary to force her to do that kind of thing?
Fortunately, Xiao Ai didn't notice anything unusual, otherwise she would have been terribly embarrassed.
On the other hand, the culprit, Lü Hanmo, was as usual, snuggling up to her, smiling as he served her food and soup, looking like a harmless and good husband. This made Li Xiaolin roll her eyes, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
Unsure of what was going on, Cheng Ai simply ate quickly and then went back to her room to draw talismans.
Time flies, and at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Lü Hanmo personally drove Cheng Ai to Shengding International.
Seeing her take a black box, about half a person's height, out of the trunk, he couldn't help but frown.
Isn't this my own suitcase that I usually use for business trips? How did it end up with Cheng Ai?
Lu Hanmo quickly figured out the reason. In the past two days, the two women in the house had been whispering together, and the suitcase must have been contributed by his wife.
He didn't ask any unnecessary questions, handed her a file folder, gave her a few brief instructions, and then drove away.
Cheng Ai took out the document, which contained detailed information on seven managers. She walked around reading it, completely unaware of the strange looks from the company employees.
Just then, a tall, alluring woman, swaying her slender waist and wearing ten-centimeter stilettos, gracefully walked up to her and stopped beside her, speaking haughtily, "You're the artist that the nightclub exceptionally recruited? Busy? Let's find a place to talk?"
She reeked of strong perfume. Cheng Ai frowned in disgust, glanced at her coldly, and then looked back at the documents. "Sorry, I don't have time."
After saying that, he walked straight to the elevator, completely disregarding the other person's gloomy and embarrassed expression.
A fierce glint flashed in the woman's eyes, her jade-like hands, painted with bright red nail polish, clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.
You think you can fool me? Fine! You just wait!
The woman stepped into another elevator, arrived at the door of an office, and barged in aggressively, saying, "I need to record the variety show 'Dare You Come On,' so you'd better make the arrangements right away."
The old man stood up from behind the table, slowly walked to her side, his large hand groping her waist. His greasy, ugly mouth approached her earlobe, breathing heavily, "I can fulfill your requests, darling, but..."
He deliberately dragged out his words, his movements becoming even more unrestrained, "How do you plan to thank me?"
The woman closed the door, drew the curtains, took off her clothes, and beckoned to him with her finger, "Manager Li, today, I belong only to you!"
Li Wu's dark eyes narrowed, and he pounced on her impatiently, wanting to possess her.
Now let's talk about Cheng Ai. She went straight to the artist's work area and entered the dressing room that Ye Jingke had told her about via WeChat.
Zhong Zheyi was getting his hair and makeup done inside when he saw her and immediately flashed a bright smile, "Good evening, Sister Xiao Ai!"
Cheng Ai closed the file, nodded and smiled slightly, and was then led to the dressing table by the makeup artist to begin her makeup routine.
Around 6:40, a young man led two people into the live broadcast room.
He talked incessantly, giving a detailed introduction to the ten products he needed to sell, and then briefly explained the process before finally leaving.
Everything is ready, just turn it on.
Zhong Zheyi nervously rubbed his hands. Before coming to the company, he posted on Weibo and WeChat Moments, hoping that his relatives, friends and fans would give him some support and make sure that his and Sister Xiao Ai's sales were not too dismal.
Compared to his anxiety, Cheng Ai was much calmer, after all, with Lü Hanmo helping her place the order, she had nothing to fear.
