It was him! It was Qi Kai’s young master, Qi Lei!
How could it be him?
Xi Xiaye’s twinkling eyes very quickly flashed with shock. Currently, Qi Lei was using one hand to push, while the other hand held up the huge, black umbrella, providing her half of the narrow shelter.
Stunned, she very quickly she returned to her senses and abruptly averted her gaze. She pushed the front hard, and then they heard a squelch of relief as the tricycle finally made it up. The dirty water that splashed up reached her fair and delicate face once again.
The elderly lady expressed surprise as she spoke to them, her eyes filled with gratitude. Xi Xiaye only nodded slightly, pointing ahead with her slender fingers and indicating for her to go home earlier. The elderly lady smiled before she left.
Xi Xiaye watched her cycle gradually away, then she was about to reflexively lift a hand to wipe away the moisture on her face when she noticed that both her hands were filthy, so she could only just let it be.
She quietly put her hands down and was about to turn around when unexpectedly, a white handkerchief was handed to her from the side. Xi Xiaye raised her brows and narrowed her starry eyes at the handkerchief. She saw that Qi Lei was smiling as he stood there.
His dashing and demonically charming handsome face brimmed with ease. The corner of his lips curled upwards and in those bottomless eyes were a flickering light as he smiled faintly and watched her.
Xi Xiaye did not take it. She just looked at him weirdly and while her tone was not filled with the guardedness and gunpowder from before, her sarcasm was not weak either. “How rare that you would lend a hand too.”
When he heard this, Qi Lei grinned wider. His hand held tightly onto the umbrella and he stuffed the handkerchief to her, amused. “Why? Are you the only one allowed to learn how to be a selfless model citizen? Won’t you let me do some good? It’s not just you who’s a good person. So am I!”
Xi Xiaye’s lightly colored lips curled up. She smiled faintly at him, her cold voice holding a trace of raspiness. “Those who say they’re good are usually sinister bad people with ill intentions, and very unfortunately, Vice President Qi, you’re such a person to me.”
When Xi Xiaye said this, Qi Lei was not angry. The amusement in his eyes just deepened as he locked his gaze onto her beautiful face and said delightedly, “How can that be? As bad as I am, I couldn’t be as bad as you. I’ve always been sincere towards you, but I’m a little regretful that you have too deep prejudice against me, so you always can’t see my sincerity, Miss Xiaye! I’m much more sincere than a certain person. You wouldn’t lose out by trusting me!”
Then, he raised his handsome brows slightly again, looking meaningfully at her. As she backed away, the umbrella in his hand followed her.
Xi Xiaye’s twinkling eyes that squinted flashed with a light. She stared at him for a quite a while, then said, “Do you and Mu Yuchen have grudges with each other? Otherwise, why would you always be making insinuations about him every time?”
As she said this, she clutched the handkerchief tightly and stared at him without moving.
When he heard this, Qi Lei shrugged innocently. He smiled, looking relaxed. “Don’t worry. Who says I have grudges with him? I just don’t like that he’s not as handsome or charming as me, yet he could win your fancy, Miss Xiaye… You aren’t even willing to job-hop. It’s the first time I try to poach someone and yet failed. This makes me very hurt…”
Xi Xiaye was lazy to argue with him. She scoffed and looked away, then tossed the handkerchief to him. “It’s best if you leave these tricks to use on those other girls.”
Then, her slim body gracefully walked past him.
“Miss Xiaye, you are a young girl to me…” Qi Lei said from behind with a chuckle that seemed rather delighted. “In fact, Xiaye, I’m really a good person. You’ll believe me!”
“Vice President Qi, there’s a piece of vegetable in your teeth!” Her cold voice came through the falling rain, sounding quite serious. When she said that, Qi Lei subconsciously snapped his mouth shut. Moments after that, he realized he had fallen for a trick and he immediately chortled!
Holding the umbrella and watching her slender figure gradually walk in the rain ahead, he laughed and said quite a while after to her back, “I didn’t eat vegetables today!”
By the time he said that, Xi Xiaye had already gotten into her car and ignored him.
She quickly took a tissue to wipe away the water on her face, and her dirty hands, before she started the car.
The black Cayenne very quickly vanished in the hazy rain, it did not stay for another moment…
Qi Lei’s gaze darkened. He silently stared ahead as the car vanished in the bleak rain, yet the smile on his handsome face never left. He then quietly averted his gaze and looked at the handkerchief she had tossed back to him. Unable to help himself, he chuckled out loud again.
“Master Qi!” His assistant, Yang Sheng’s voice suddenly came from behind, Qi Lei then turned to look at him. “Master Qi, the CEO called and is rushing for you to quickly return. Miss Xian Er is already there… The Madam is worried sick!”
Yang Sheng was like a cat on a hot tin roof, but he had to say this carefully to Qi Lei.
Qi Lei shot him a side look and reached out to him Yang Sheng very quickly understood and took out a tissue from his pocket as he took the umbrella in Qi Lei’s hand.
Qi Lei put the handkerchief away and took the tissue to wipe his hand as he laughed coldly. “Just let them be anxious then. They have to suffer the evil consequences for acting on their own wishes. Do they think I’m the same as that idiot, free to be ordered about as they wish?”
“Master Qi, CEO and the Madam are just worried about you. If they knew that you said this, they’d definitely be very sad… Miss Xian Er is prim and proper, good-looking and intelligent. In fact, she’s a rare beauty who’s very matching with you, Master Qi…” Yang Sheng braced himself as he said this carefully.
However, Qi Lei ignored him. He just looked at him indifferently, then walked to the car.
When Yang Sheng saw this, he instantly felt a headache and helplessly followed.
…
When Xi Xiaye returned to Maple Residence, the villa was still empty and bathed in darkness!
Mu Yuchen was not back yet.
With a frown, she hesitated, then tidied up the things before she showered and changed into clean clothes. At the moment, the clock on the wall showed that it was 8 p.m., yet Mu Yuchen was still nowhere in sight. There was not a single call from him too.
As she was thinking about whether to call him, there was the vague sound of a car stopping outside. She walked over to the tightly shut door that suddenly flung open. His figure slowly appeared, and the person behind who followed after him was unexpectedly…
