Evening Rose

Li Tianyi suddenly said this after following me for less than half the distance.

I didn't understand what he meant, so I stopped and stared at his side of his face. I didn't ask any further questions, since I knew there were some things I shouldn't ask about just by looking at him.

"Aren't you curious about who it is?"

However, I didn't expect that my silence would cause Li Tianyi to be puzzled. He stopped walking and turned his head to look at me. The words at the corner of his mouth made my throat tighten inexplicably.

Under Li Tianyi's sharp gaze, I quickly recovered my voice. I lightly coughed and said, "Do I need to be curious?"

"Heh."

Perhaps I hadn't thought that he would answer me like that. Li Tianyi gave me face as he laughed out loud. However, when I looked into his eyes, he was still as cold as ever, making it hard for me to guess what he was thinking.

I didn't say anything and could only pretend to be calm as I looked back at Li Yingyi, as if everything was normal.

"Ah Yun, after being by my side for so long, you seem to have become crafty."

After staring at me for a while, Li Tianyi finally opened his mouth. It was hard to tell if these words were a derogatory or a compliment. I couldn't help but furrow my brows. Initially, I wanted to deny that there wasn't such a thing happening, but after thinking about it, ever since I started to work by Li Tianyi's side, I seem to have unintentionally changed a lot …

The most obvious change was that my attitude had become unyielding, unlike before, when I was cowardly in everything I did. The current me was bold and decisive, undeniably, and on this point I had to thank Li Tianyi.

However, I have never been able to say anything hypocritical. Furthermore, people like Li Tianyi don't even need my words of thanks. If I really wanted to thank him, maybe I can only give myself to him …

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but bitterly smile. When facing Li Tianyi, I still maintained a decent attitude. Moreover, I took a step back and maintained a certain distance. "Can I treat Director Li like he's praising me?"

When I said this, I gave a slight smile, causing Li Tianyi's face to freeze for a moment. Following that, he chuckled softly together with me. After that, his entire body was still exuding an inescapable coldness.

"Director Li, what are you doing?"

While I was facing Li Tianyi, who was also smiling back at me, Li Tianyi grabbed me with one hand and pushed me against the thick tree trunk.

I cried out in alarm. My hands subconsciously pressed against his chest, but he seized hold of me and placed them behind me, causing me to be unable to move.

Li Tianyi seemed to think that this was far from enough. Lowering his head, at the same time, his thin lips landed on my neck, making me feel numb and uncomfortable all over.

"Director Li, there are people outside!"

Right now, the sky isn't too dark yet. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Li Tianyi's body. When it falls into my eyes, there is an additional kind of illusory beauty, causing me to fall into a trance for a moment.

"What does it matter?"

Li Tianyi acted as if he didn't hear what I said and retorted before he started to climb onto my shoulder, as if he was ready to fight in the wild.

To be honest, after being so intimate with him for such a long time, I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong, but logic is telling me that if I continue to be with him like this, sooner or later I'll be done for. At the same time that I sigh internally, I take advantage of Li Dian's outburst of lust and uncontrollably grab onto his hand.

My sudden action caused Li Tianyi to quickly stop what he was doing. At the same time, he took a step back and looked at me with an incomparably deep gaze, "Do you feel that you have the right to say no to me?"

Li Tianyi's rhetorical question made me feel ashamed of myself. The instant I lowered my head, my face was as red as a ripe tomato. I was speechless.

But what made me rejoice was that at this moment, Li Tianyi had already retreated from me. With his hands on his chest, he stood not too far away and sized me up.

I didn't know what to do with him. I just stood there like a commodity and let him look at me.

I don't know how long Li Tianyi and I were able to maintain this state for. In the end, I really couldn't take it anymore and wanted to say, CEO Li, if you are dissatisfied, you can just say it. There is no need to stare at me like you are looking at a prey.

However, Li Tianyi slowly said, "You may get off work now."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and left. I didn't have the time to react and just stood there blankly for a long time. When Li Tianyi's figure gradually disappeared from my sight, I hurriedly caught up to him.

The scene at the vineyard seemed to be an illusion of mine. Coming out from the winery, Li Tianyi's cold expression made me feel as if I was standing beside an iceberg. The cold atmosphere made me feel extremely uneasy.

"Wang Ziyi has lost this big customer. Have you thought of where to go to recruit a customer?"

At this moment, I was sitting in the front passenger seat, while Li Tianyi was safely driving the car. In this quiet environment, he suddenly said this sentence.

I was stunned for a moment. Although Li Tianyi never blamed me for losing Wang Ziyi's customer, but I still quickly broke my duty and tried my best to save him. However, it would be difficult for me to find a new customer right now.

His connections were wide, and most people would give him face. Although I didn't want to borrow his help again, after thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't help but ask, "Is there a candidate recommended by Master Li?"

Li Gangyi chuckled lightly. It was unknown whether he was ridiculing me or looking down on my attitude.

I didn't take these things to heart, but I still couldn't help but lower my eyes and become silent.

Regarding this, Li Tianyi didn't care at all. He directly said, "There is one, but it's a bit strange. If you think you can settle it, then go."

Li Tianyi's words confused me a little, but when I heard him say that he had a client, I almost naturally seized this opportunity: "I think I can try."

"Then I'll give you the contact details later. You handle it yourself."

As if he expected my answer, Li Tianyi sneered and said so.

Arriving at the Li Family residence, Li Tianyi gave me the contact details of his customer as promised. Soon after, the two of them peacefully spent the night together. As a result, when I woke up the next morning, I received a huge piece of news.

Li's distillery was exposed by a group of reporters. The wine was adulterated. Even the group of reporters who came in to drink were all admitted to the hospital, and eventually all of the crimes were attributed to me once again.
