There were many people and groups on the Hostâs WeChat.
For exampleâ¦
Groups called âDarlingsâ, âUsing Up Husbandâs Moneyâ, âMen Are Like Clothesâ, âGamesâ, and âPrivate Detectiveâ.
Before Tang Li could finish reading all the group names. she was bombarded with tons of messages from people trying to find her.
She couldnât be bothered to look at the messages. Curious, she clicked on the âDarlingsâ group at the top, and two names popped out⦠Bai Qingyang and Su Ziqing.
She then opened the private detective group and realized that many of the detectives had worked with the Host.
Looking at this was like looking at someone elseâs privacy. Tang Li could not stand it anymore and deleted her account. She planned to tell Butler Zhang tomorrow to get her a new SIM card.
As soon as she finished doing that, Qi Yihan suddenly pushed the door open and stood by the door.
Tang Li looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Qi Yihan said calmly. âIâm hungry.â
Struck dumb, Tang Li stared at him, thinking to herself, âWhy is he telling me that? Isnât he supposed to find Butler Zhang?â
Suddenly, she remembered that this morning, she promised him she would cook something for him. Tang Li suddenly could not help but burst out giggling. She tossed her phone to the side and got out of bed to put on her slippers. âLetâs go, Iâll cook something for you.â
Qi Yihanâs lips curled up. âMm.â
The two of them walked downstairs.
After Qi Yihan returned, he changed into casual wear, whereas Tang Li was wearing pajamas. When the two of them walked downstairs, Tang Li asked him, âDo you have to stay up late tonight?â
âItâll be past midnight at least.â
âWhat time is it after midnight?â Tang Li was not satisfied with his answer.
âI have an international meeting to host at 12 oâclock. If itâs fast, it can finish in an hour and a half.â
âThat long.â
âIs it?â To Qi Yihan, who was used to working overtime, it really wasnât long. Sometimes, he could hold overnight meetings.
Tang Liâs heart ached when she heard that. âIâll make you some pills for you tomorrow. If you feel tired, take one.â
âOkay.â
It was already eleven oâclock. When the two of them went downstairs, Butler Zhang, who had heard the noise, walked out of his room.
He was about to speak when Qi Yihan glanced at him and said calmly, âYou can go to sleep.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Butler Zhang turned around and walked back.
The two of them walked into the kitchen. The ingredients for tomorrowâs breakfast were already prepared and placed in the fridge to keep it fresh. Tang Li opened the fridge and took a look. She asked Qi Yihan, âYihan, what do you want to eat? Thereâs a lot of seafood in
here.â
âDo whatever you think youâre good at.â
âThen Iâll cook you some seafood noodles. That wonât take long.â âOkay.â
Tang Li first boiled the water and took out the vegetables, prawns, and oysters to wash.
Qi Yihan stood beside her and watched attentively.
He knew that the real Tang Li couldnât cook, but the Tang Li now, though clumsy, definitely knew one thing or two about cooking. He was no longer interested in asking who she was and only asked, âDo you always cook for yourself in the past?â
âSometimes when I am stuck in remote areas, Iâll make myself something. Not often though.â
Qi Yihan looked at her and asked, âDo you occasionally go to very remote places?â âRight.â
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too good, Tang Li answered whatever Qi Yihan asked.
However, neither of them mentioned whether she was Tang Li.
After Tang Li nodded, Qi Yihan plunnged into silence.
However, he had an idea in mind. He wanted to learn how to cook. When the time came, he could cook for her when they were left alone. A bowl of seafood noodles was quickly prepared.
Qi Yihan carried the bowl of noodles into the living room with Tang Li following behind him.
When they sat at the dining table, Tang Li sat beside Qi Yihan and watched him eat.
Qi Yihan did not eat it immediately. Instead, he went to get a small bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
Then, he peeled the prawns one by one and placed them in the small bowl. He then picked up some oysters and pushed them toward Tang
Li.
âEat some.â
Tang Li looked at the small bowl of prawns and oysters in front of her, then at the bowl of noodles with only vegetables left in it. She smiled and narrowed her eyes as she said, âI cooked it for you.â
As Tang Li was saying that, she already picked up the chopsticks to get a peeled prawn. The prawns were fresh to begin with, so it was not a bad idea to eat them like this. Qi Yihan was delighted that she was eating too, and started wolfing the noodle.
âIs it delicious?â
âYummy.â Qi Yihan used his actions to tell her how much he liked the noodles she cooked.
After that, they went upstairs.
Butler Zhang then walked out of the room to clean the table. As he cleaned, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. âThatâs good, I didnât expect Madam to cook a bowl of noodles for Master.â
Qi Yihan had to continue working. After eating food, Tang Li found herself unable to fall asleep, so she went to the study room to play on her phone.
When Qi Yihan sat behind his desk and started the video conference, Tang Li was stunned by his powerful aura.
Most of the time, he was just listening to his subordinatesâ reports and didnât speak. However, every time he opened his mouth, people would subconsciously hold their breaths. Even if Tang Li couldnât see the subordinatesâ faces, she could tell that they must be nervous.
A while into his meeting, Tang Li felt bored and nodded off.
When Qi Yihan saw that, he said to his subordinates, âWeâll pause for a minute.â
Then, he walked to Tang Li and touched her cheek with his hand.
Tang Li tried her best to keep her eyes wide-open and look at him with a confused expression.
Qi Yihan said, âGo to the bedroom and sleep. Itâs not comfortable sleeping here.â
Indeed, Tang Li felt very uncomfortable sleeping here. She nodded and stood up. After yawning, she said to him, âCome sleep with me when you are done.â âOkay.â
Only then did Tang Li walk out of the study.
However, when she reached the bedroom door, she sensed an unusual aura from the balcony on the second floor.
Without thinking, Tang Li quickly walked over.
The door to the balcony was closed. Tang Li opened it and walked out.
The wind was strong tonight and there were dark clouds in the sky. Other than the light from the street lamps, it was dark everywhere.
Tang Li scanned her surroundings, and her gaze turned sharp. She called out the two Kylins and said to them, âGo find him.â
The two little ones flew around Tang Li and replied at the same time, âYes, Master.â
Then, they flew away.
Tang Li stood on the balcony for a while before Linlin flew back and said to her, âMaster, he went to the mortuary.â
Tang Li nodded and quickly drew a teleportation talisman in the air. In the next moment, she arrived at the mortuary.
The morgue tonight looked particularly gloomy. The mortuary guard must have sensed something unusual in the atmosphere as well, so he stayed in the guard room and sealed the door and windows.
Tang Li stood outside the mortuary, protected by the Kylins.
Qiqi said, âWhen we followed him here, we found that he was giving out a very strong smell of decayed body.â
However, because they were outside the mortuary, they could no longer smell him.
