Chapter 239 - 239: Am I Too Forgiving to You?
That petite figure stood in the shadows of the balcony. The light behind her bloomed, making it look so surreal.
Li Yan stood where he was, his long and narrow eyes narrowed as he quietly watched the scene in front of him.
Was this woman waiting for him?
Qiao Mu did not know how long she had been squatting on the balcony as she listened to the sound of cars passing by. There were not many cars in this wealthy district, but it was already late at night, yet there were still cars passing by from time to time. She had thought that it was Li Yan’s car several times, but she had waited for nothing every time.
Leaning against the railing, she almost fell asleep in a daze. Then, she heard a car drive into the villa’s courtyard.
Qiao Mu immediately sobered up and jumped up. However, she had squatted for too long and her legs were numb. She lost her balance and almost fell.
She kicked her legs and limped to Li Yan.
“Uncle, you’re back!”
The woman in front of him smiled like a flower and stumbled over. His gaze swept across her feet. ” What happened to your feet? ”
Qiao Mu smiled and said disapprovingly, ‘”‘1’m fine. I just went numb from squatting.”
Are you numb from squatting?
She had been waiting for him on the balcony?
She had been living with the Li family for a while. Every time he came home late, she would either fall asleep or watch TV in her room. She had never been so passionate and silly as to wait for him on the balcony.
His heart suddenly fluctuated, and his emotions were suppressed in his chest.
After stepping into the house, Li Yan took off his coat, and Qiao Mu immediately went forward to catch it and served him attentively.
Li Yan looked at her every move coldly. Her solicitous flattery made his suppressed emotions explode in an instant, and his anger surged!
Only when she did something wrong or had something to ask of him would she be so attentive!
His initial uncertainty was confirmed by her performance!
His gaze darkened as he looked down at her. ” Qiao Mu, are you trying to please me and make up for your mistake by doing something wrong? ”
Qiao Mu’s warm face was immediately plastered to her cold butt. The man’s cold attitude made her momentarily confused. She shook her head in a daze. ‘
Uncle, I didn’t. ‘
“No?” Li Yan’s face darkened. ” Are you saying that you didn’t participate in the design proposal, or that you didn’t deliberately curry favor with me? Qiao Mu’s eyes widened in astonishment when she heard his words.
He … They thought that she had stolen the design proposal!
He still did not believe her!
How could he suspect her? She had no reason to do this!
Or was he angry because she had designed a plan to give Yu Tingyun a gift without telling her?
The man’s expression was cold. He raised his hand and held her chin. ” Do you think that I’ll let you off just because you’re trying to please me? ”
He paused and his voice became even more gloomy.”lf you want me to stand on your side and deal with Yu Tingyun, I agree! You want me to help Madam Qiao, I will help! Qiao Mu, when have I ever mistreated you? You’re one on the surface, but you’re another in private! I told you not to try to scheme against me. Am I too lenient to you that you think you can do whatever you want in front of me?”
Li Yan’s eyes pressed on Qiao Mu, and the depths of his eyes emitted an extremely cold light.
His words struck her heart word by word. His voice was bone-chilling, and it made Qiao Mu feel extremely pressured.
At this point, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. So, she was so unbearable in his heart.
Although she had never felt that she was noble and upright, after such a thing happened, he had directly convicted her!
