“Uncle, when are you coming back? I’m sleepy.”

Li Yan gripped his phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as if he wanted to crush the phone.

This woman! On one hand, she did not take him to heart, but on the other hand, she was still concerned about his whereabouts. If he had not heard her words with his own ears, he would have thought that she really cared about him!

After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, she sent Li Yan a message.

After sending the message, there was no response for a long time. After a while, she called the other party, but there was no response.

He didn’t reply to his text messages or pick up his phone. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Although he would ignore her messages when he had some conflicts with Li Yan, they had been getting along very well recently. Whenever she sent him a message, he would always reply as quickly as possible. Sometimes, he would call her back directly if he found it troublesome to reply to her messages.

Perhaps he was busy and didn’t have time to bother with her.

Qiao Mu put down the phone, turned off the lights, and lay down.

She recalled Chi Xia asking her if she would help Yu Tingyun get the design proposal. This was already considered stealing. Even if Qiao Enterprise was her father’s blood and sweat, she would not do anything.

But she would still help Yu Tingyun. It was just a design proposal, right?

If Yu Tingyun wanted a proposal, then she would personally make a proposal and give it to her. Regardless of whether this proposal was eventually adopted by the Li Group, she had a clear conscience.

Qiao Mu stretched lazily and closed her eyes to sleep.

Li Yan’s legs were stiff as he stood outside the bedroom. The dim yellow light from the corridor shone on his face, making him look even more gloomy and cold.

The woman in the bedroom seemed to have fallen asleep.

He took out a cigarette, leaned against the corridor railing, and smoked.

The smoke swirled around his fingertips and went around his hair, making his cold and handsome face even more mesmerizing.

He tried his best to suppress his anger and resisted the urge to rush into the room to vent his anger on the little woman.

He had said that he would not force her or hurt her in the future. He was worried that he would lose control of his emotions the moment he stepped into the room!

No one had ever restrained his temper like this. He had always handled everything with ease, but she was the only one who was not out of his control!

Ten years ago, when he discussed with his parents that he would bring Qiao Mu overseas, he heard Qiao Mu personally tell Qiao Ya her motive for approaching him.

Ten years later, he still heard the same words. She was with him just to anger Yu Tingyun!

Everyone had their own goals. This was her goal!

But what was his purpose? She must have thought that he was with her to deal with Yu Tingyun.

This woman always tried to twist his meaning!

Li Yan felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, but he still could not suppress his anxiety. What should he do with her?

Suddenly, the door opened.

Li Yan looked up and saw Qiao Mu walking out in her loose pajamas and slippers with her hair disheveled.

Her eyelids were half-closed, and her slippers were on the wrong side of her feet. It was obvious that she was still asleep.

While Qiao Mu was still in a daze, she felt extremely thirsty. There was no water in the bedroom, so she got up in a daze and prepared to go downstairs to drink some water.

When she opened the bedroom door, she smelled the pungent smell of tobacco. She frowned and looked up to see the man standing at the door.

He was shocked..
