In the villa.
Qi Yihan swam in the pool for nearly half an hour before suddenly stopping.
Tang Li knew that the man must have fallen asleep.
She took the towel and walked to the side of the pool. First, she called out in a low voice, “Yihan.”
But there was no response.
Then, she raised her voice and called out, “Yihan.”
Still no response.
Tang Li thought for a moment. She did not want to jump down and get him up. With his physique, she would definitely not be able to pull him up.
Finally, she drew a talisman in the air and a golden light shone on Qi Yihan. Then his body floated to the shore.
After Qi Yihan laid on the shore, Tang Li walked over and covered his stomach with a towel. She reached out and patted his face.
“Yihan, you have to sleep in the bedroom.”
Suddenly, Qi Yihan stood up and threw a punch at Tang Li.
Tang Li reacted quickly. She leaned backward. When she was about to fall to the ground, she was pulled back by someone. At the same time, a strong force pulled her back and she fell on Qi Yihan’s body.
Tang Li raised her head and glared at him unhappily. “What are you doing?”
“Sorry.”
Qi Yihan’s voice was even hoarser than before he went swimming. There was an indescribable feeling to it, as though he was in pain.
“It was an instinctive reaction.”
No one had ever patted his face before, especially after he got drunk. His mind was already in a state of alertness due to the alcohol, so what he did just now was really instinct. However, when he reached out his fist, he suddenly realized that it was Tang Li, so he opened his fist and grabbed her arm.
Tang Li frowned. “Since you’re awake, get up and go to the bedroom to sleep.”
With that, she was about to get up.
But in the next moment, someone pressed down on the back of her head and pressed her down.
Their lips met.
His scent was overwhelming her sense of smell.
“Qi… Um…”
After a passionate kiss, Qi Yihan let go of her and panted as he said, “This is the compensation for freaking you out just now.”
Tang Li stood up angrily and patted his chest, saying fiercely, “Is this compensation? I think you’re just taking advantage of me.”
Qi Yihan looked at her with a deep gaze.
When Tang Li thought that he was going to say that she could also take advantage of him, he actually said, “I’m drunk. I can’t tell if I’m taking advantage of you or you’re taking advantage of me.”
After saying that, he held her hand that was on his chest and let her touch it. He stared into her eyes and asked, “Are you taking advantage of me now?”
Tang Li, “…I guess.”
“Well then, take your time taking advantage of me.”
Since he said so, she was not gonna waste such a good opportunity.
Tang Li was finally aroused by Qi Yihan and took advantage of him when he was drunk.
His smooth and firm chest carried absolute power and felt very comfortable.
Mm… It was so nice to touch!
After feeling satisfied, Tang Li pulled him up.
However, when Qi Yihan stood up, the towel dropped.
This made Tang Li see what she should not see.
Hiss…
It was…
Shocking!
“You…”
Qi Yihan calmly picked up the towel from the ground and wrapped it around his waist, looking at her with an especially ‘innocent’ gaze.
Tang Li blushed and felt thirsty. She turned around and walked toward the villa. As she walked, she touched her nose and said, “There’s hangover soup on the wooden chair next to you. There’s food on the dining table in the living room. Drink the soup and eat something before going to your room to sleep.”
Only when Tang Li was about to reach the door did Qi Yihan reply, “Copy that.”
She slept until daybreak.
When Tang Li went downstairs, she saw Butler Yang instructing the servants to do something.
Seeing Tang Li come down, Butler Yang quickly stopped and said to her, “Madam, Master went back to the Qi Mansion before dawn. Something happened to First Madam and her parents last night.”
Tang Li was not interested in First Madam and her family, so she gave a casual reply.
It was still early, so she planned to take a walk in the courtyard.
This villa was very large and had a larger courtyard. It was enough for a walk.
Butler Yang thought of something and said to her, “Madam, I helped you put away the things Miss Zitong sent you that day.”
“Take it out and put it on the sofa. I’ll come back and take a look later.”
“Yes.”
Tang Li went for a walk in the courtyard.
At this time, the sun had not come out yet. There were gardeners pruning the branches in the garden and servants cleaning the house.
Some people were talking in low voices.
When everyone saw Tang Li walking over, they all revealed surprised expressions. Then, they quickly stood there and greeted her respectfully, “Madam, good morning.”
Tang Li nodded and continued walking.
After Tang Li left, some of the bolder young servants started discussing in low voices.
“Why do I feel like Madam’s aura has changed after staying with Master for a while at the hospital?”
“I feel it too. In the past, she was disdainful of everything. Now, she has an indescribable aura that’s a little… intimidating.”
“Yes, that’s the feeling. If it wasn’t for that face, I would have thought that she was a different person.”
Just as they were discussing this, they suddenly felt a cold gaze shoot at them. Their bodies trembled at the same time, and they saw Butler Yang standing not far away looking at them with a serious expression.
The servants were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. They quickly lowered their heads and continued cleaning.
After Tang Li finished her walk, she returned to the villa.
Butler Yang had already placed the things her father gave her on the sofa.
The item didn’t look small. It was long and flat, wrapped in a dustproof cloth.
Before Tang Li walked over, she could already feel the powerful spiritual energy coming from inside. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly strode over to open the dustproof cloth. Inside was a rectangular box. When she opened the box, she was surprised to find an antique zither lying inside.
“It’s actually the Fuxi Guqin!!”
Tang Li was shocked to see the Host’s father giving the Host a Fuxi Guqin.
Although everyone in the Tang family knew several instruments, ordinary people couldn’t get their hands on one of the Guqins, let alone play it.
Could this Guqin be for her?
At that thought, Tang Li’s heart started racing from excitement.
She took out the Guqin and saw a letter laying under it.
She opened the letter and saw that it read, “Daughter, help the Tang family. This is your reward. After this matter is settled, let them leave the real estate industry and return to their old trade.”
At this point, Tang Li narrowed her eyes. She suddenly became interested in this father of hers.
The fact that he asked Tang Li to help the Tang family out proved that he knew Tang Li was not his daughter. Why was he still calling Tang Li daughter then? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person was definitely not simple.
She recalled what Second Uncle told her back then that this father had gone on a long trip.
Where did he go?
Tang Li tried to read his fortune, but she could not find his whereabouts as if this person didn’t exist in this world at all.
Tang Li became even more interested in him.
