Li Ran felt that it was too troublesome to have the phone screen turned off automatically. Therefore, the first thing she did after she bought the cell phone was to turn off that function.

Hence, when Li Ci returned home, Li Ran was already sleeping soundly on the sofa. Her phone screen was still lit, and the screen had her chat box with Zhou Liu.

Li Ci was really helpless when it came to his willful niece. It wasn’t like he didn’t care. Many times, he had told her that she couldn’t sleep with makeup on, let alone sleep on the sofa without covering herself? It was very easy for her to catch a cold this way. In the end, she didn’t listen even once and still did whatever she wanted.

Li Ci took off his suit jacket and placed it on the back of the sofa. Then, he took off his tie and placed it on his jacket. When the servants came tomorrow morning, they would naturally take the clothes to dry-clean them.

Then, Li Ci unbuttoned the collar of her shirt and rolled up her sleeves. Despite his fatigue, he carried Li Ran back to her room.

Li Ran was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly moved, so she twisted her body restlessly and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping. However, her lips were still pouting, as if to vent her dissatisfaction.

Li Ci smiled and reached out with one hand to scratch her nose. Li Ran felt like she was about to fall, so she hugged Li Ci’s neck. After confirming that she had stabilized herself, she hugged Li Ci’s even tighter and her entire face was buried in Li Ci’s neck.

Li Ci sighed. This little girl was really restless when she slept.

Li Ci placed Li Ran back on the soft bed two meters away from her room and helped her take off her coat so that she could sleep more comfortably.

As they weren’t used to strangers being at home at night, the maids had already gotten off work and returned home after eight o’clock. At that moment, no one helped Li Ran change her clothes, so Li Ci could only help her take off her coat.

Li Ci took out Li Ran’s phone from his pocket and muted it before placing it by Li Ran’s bed.

Following that, Li Ci walked to Li Ran’s dressing table. Then, he picked up the makeup remover and helped her remove her makeup. Then, he even helped her wash her face. Finally, he even applied essence and face cream for Li Ran. It seemed that Li Ci had done this many times. Practice made perfect.

After everything was done, Li Ci checked if Li Ran had been covered properly. Although the weather had turned warm, the temperature difference between day and night was still very big. Furthermore, Li Ran had the habit of kicking the blanket in the middle of the night, so Li Ci still checked again worriedly.

After making sure that the blanket covered her, he walked to the door and turned off the light as he whispered, “Good night, my little girl.” Then, he gently closed the door.

After finishing Li Ran’s matters, Li Ci still had some work to deal with.

He didn’t expect Shi Xiao to act so quickly. He had thought that the incident at No Man’s Land would stall him for a while. In addition, Yuan Shu was also involved, so it would take Shi Xiao a week to settle everything.

However, he had miscalculated. He had underestimated Yuan Shu’s ability to handle things and her attitude towards Shi Xiao.

He thought that with his understanding of Yuan Shu, she definitely wouldn’t accept the domineering and arrogant Shi Xiao so easily. She would definitely cause trouble for him as he handled the matter. However, in just three days, the two of them started getting along peacefully and even attended the cocktail party at the same time. They even appeared very loving.

As a result, Shi Xiao only took three days to deal with the Tan family and close down No Man’s Land. He even used the image of a loving husband and wife to become a trending topic, causing the Shi Corporation’s share price to immediately stabilize. The next day, the Shi Corporation’s share price showed signs of rising and he focused on the Shi Corporation’s business.

Fortunately, Li Ci was quick and didn’t slack off just because he had temporarily delayed Shi Xiao. He already dealt with the people he had planted during Shi Xiao’s departure in time. Otherwise, this matter would definitely blow up.

However, even so, because time was too short, there were still some loopholes. Although these loopholes didn’t affect him much, they seemed to have given others an opportunity to take advantage of Yuan An..
