Chapter 170 170: Cold War

The next morning, Xu Li woke up from her sleep and received a teasing greeting from Bai Junhua.

She glanced lightly, did not reply, and went to wash up.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom and went to the cloakroom to change clothes, I saw Shang Yan standing in front of a cabinet, his body upright and straight, his gray suit and leather shoes smooth, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, and he was looking at it carefully.

"Why haven't you gone yet..."

She walked to the closet next to him and was about to get some clothes when she inadvertently caught sight of what he was holding in his hand from the corner of her eye, and her eyes suddenly froze.

It's a painting.

It was the same painting he gave to Lele on her birthday last time.

Moreover, the painting was torn directly in the middle.

She instinctively turned around and snatched the painting away. The tear happened to be where she and Lele were sitting on the rocking chair, while Gu Junxi was pushing the rocking chair behind her.

Even the quilt covers on the bed have a light fragrance, which also combines the comfortable and dry feeling of being sunbaked.

In the next two days, Xu Li and Shang Yan kept in a cold war, and Shang Yan stayed at the company and did not come back.

This has never happened before. No matter how dissatisfied the gentleman is with the people below, he will never get angry like that.

Chen Mo was right. Not only did Xu Li not understand the meaning of Shang Yan, she even felt that he really planned to keep the cold war to the end and was not ready to go home.

This is the first gift given to Lele since she gained her own independent consciousness, so it is naturally very important to her.

"Yeah." Shang Yan responded lightly, and after a moment he asked again, "Did she say something?"

Xu Li frowned, her hand holding the script couldn't help but tighten, and her voice became a little colder, "Oh."

He moved his lips, not knowing what to say. In the end, it just turned into a cold tone, "Whatever you think, I'm sorry about last night..."

Xu Li looked stunned and answered the question, "I just want to come back and live here. This is my home anyway. It's the same wherever I live. Aunt Ye, I want to eat your specialty dish, sweet and sour short ribs, tonight."

"Then...can I stay with you at Lihua Forest Villa during this time?" Xu Li put her arm in her arms and said coquettishly.

As for the rest room, apart from Shang Yan, only his assistant had the right to enter.

"lady."

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded and tentatively said, "Madam is at home."

————

Now it seems that the husband knew that the wife would be at home today, and specifically asked him to go back to test her attitude.

Aunt Ye was a little surprised when she saw Xu Li. When she saw the two suitcases she was carrying, she curiously asked, "Miss, why did you come here suddenly? Did you just come back from work abroad?"

Chen Mo also clearly sensed the changes in his expression and surrounding aura, and instantly understood why his husband asked him to go back and get his clothes today.

Shang Yan pursed his lips slightly, frowned, and swallowed back the words he originally wanted to explain. He glanced at the painting in her hand, especially the man standing behind the rocking chair. He recognized it at a glance.

He asked coolly, "Is he important to you?"

Therefore, there was no need to go back to get clothes, as he had been wondering before.

All of Xu Li's rationality was defeated by his light and extremely cold words. She clenched her hands into fists and turned her back, "Okay, Shang Yan, get out of here, I don't want to see you."

Shang Yan withdrew his gaze and continued to flip through the folder in his hand, but an unknown feeling of irritation arose in his heart.

Now it seems that it turned out to be a quarrel and conflict with my wife.

"No."

"Shang Yan, is there something wrong with you? Why are you smoking so early in the morning? I'm not even angry because you let me go yesterday. Why do you tear up my paintings and treat me like this?" Xu Li said thoroughly.

Enraged by his words, she roared at his back.

When he went downstairs, Xu Li didn't even give him a look.

The day before Xu Li was going to go to Yuye Law Firm for an internship, Chen Mo suddenly came to Jinyuan. She happened to be at home reading the script of "Beautiful as Ever" and memorizing her lines.

"Then is it true that you let me go? Is it true that you tore up my paintings? I think I have been very generous. I didn't blame you or be angry with you last night. What do you mean now?" She snapped.

Stop what he said.

Shang Yan's face darkened, and a sharp dark light shone in his eyes, falling on Xu Li's little face filled with anger.

"Then you just think I did it on purpose." He said these words coldly, turned around and left the cloakroom.

"Okay, as long as the eldest lady wants to eat, I will cook it for you." Aunt Ye stopped asking questions, patted her hand with a smile, and helped her push the two suitcases in.

Half an hour after Chen Mo left, she lost her temper and went straight upstairs to pack her two luggages and drove to Lihua Forest Villa.

He just said that these days, your husband has been colder and more moody than before. Yesterday, he got angry at the senior management meeting and dismissed several useless executives.

But...it seems to be of no use.

She didn't say anything about her quarrel with Shang Yan because she was afraid that Aunt Ye would worry her, so she smiled and nodded, "Well, I suddenly missed the food you cooked, Aunt Ye, so I came right over. Won't Aunt Ye welcome me?"

A few seconds after the sound fell, she heard the footsteps getting farther and farther until they disappeared. A few minutes later, the sound of a car engine sounded outside.

"How come? This is your house. You can come here anytime, whether you like it or not. I would be happier if you lived here every day."

After he arrived at the company, Shang Yan glanced at the luggage bag he was carrying, his eyes darkened, and he looked away, "Did you get it back?"

Chen Mo saw her and nodded slightly.

"Sir... asked me to come back and help him get clothes."

Xu Li raised her eyes to look at him and asked quietly, "Is something wrong?"

Shang Yan stopped for a moment, turned around and looked at her, "I didn't mean to do it yesterday..."

Chen Mo just thought that her single voice was so cold that he didn't dare to say anything more. He went directly to the cloakroom upstairs and helped Shang Yan choose a few sets of clothes and accessories.

"Shang Yan, what are you doing?" He looked at him angrily and asked loudly.

"Of course it's good, but... why do you suddenly want to come over here?" Aunt Ye looked at the two suitcases behind her and felt something bad. She asked worriedly, "Did you get into trouble with your uncle?"

"Of course." Xu Li replied without thinking.

In fact, Shang Yan often lived in the company in the past. In the past year, he has rarely lived there. However, the company would always have two or three sets of clothes and accessories for him to change.

I haven’t been back for a long time. The furnishings in the house are the same as before, spotless, neat and bright.

"Whatever do I want?"

A crisp ringtone rang, Xu Li's heart trembled, and a sudden surge of expectation arose. But when he saw the caller ID, that expectation disappeared completely, and he answered, "Well, what are you doing?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to Yu Ye Law Firm for internship reporting. Don't forget to get up early. The law firm has working hours, so you can't do whatever you want like you usually do."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Shan's earnest reminder sounded.

"Yes, I know." Xu Li said casually. After hanging up the phone, he sent a message asking Tang Xin to pick her up at Lihua Forest Villa tomorrow morning.
