"Try it." She put it on the coffee table.

Lu Sili picked up the coffee and took a sip. "It's a bit bitter."

"It's better to be bitter." Lian Xi sat down next to him and asked, "How is the coffee I made? Is it delicious?"

Lu Sili glanced at her and said, "It's just barely okay."

Lian Xi curled his lips.

She used to make coffee for Lu Sili often, but after he got used to it, he refused to switch to other coffee beans and always asked her to buy purified water to make coffee.

Therefore, the coffee brewed by Lian Xi tastes completely different from that brewed by other baristas.

But Lu Sili was not satisfied and insisted that she cook, so Lian Xi had no choice but to continue cooking.

"I'll make breakfast for you." Lian Xi got up and walked out.

Lu Sili wanted to stop her, but failed in the end.

He watched Lian Xi walk out of the living room, and a feeling of loss vaguely emerged in his heart.

This mood lasted for a few seconds and was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

Lu Sili stood up and walked over to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was not Lian Xi, but the housekeeper Chen Bo.

Uncle Chen bowed to Lu Sili and asked respectfully, "Master, do you have any plans for today?"

Lu Sili frowned, "What's the matter?"

Uncle Chen paused and said tentatively, "The master and his wife said that after you recover, you and the young mistress should go back."

Hearing this, Lu Sili's face suddenly changed.

He had insisted on staying in Hai City just to avoid meeting his parents.

If he went back, it would mean he would have to face them.

He doesn't want to go back.

"I don't want to go back yet." He refused coldly.

"This..." Uncle Chen hesitated and advised carefully, "You are so young and have independently supported the company. It has been several months. Mr. and Mrs. miss you. Now it is Mrs.'s birthday. If you are willing to go back, Mr. and Mrs. will be very happy."

Lu Sili was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't want to go back."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen sighed and said, "Why are you doing this..."

After saying that, he added, "In that case, you should discuss it with the young lady and ask her to accompany you back."

Lu Sili's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression became colder.

Uncle Chen didn't dare to mention it again and left quickly.

Lu Sili closed the door and leaned against it, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lian Xi was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and it was almost half past seven when she finally finished preparing breakfast.

"It's time to eat!" she shouted.

Lu Sili responded and walked into the kitchen.

After the two finished their meal, Lian Xi cleaned up the dishes while Lu Sili went to the sofa to deal with documents.

After a while, Lian Xi came out after washing up and saw Lu Sili still in the same posture.

"I'm going to work." Lian Xi said, "You shouldn't be busy all the time. You should take a break. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."

Lu Sili looked at the computer screen, seemingly concentrating on his work, and answered casually, "Yeah."

"Then I'll go to work." Lian Xi waved his hand and turned to walk out.

Lu Sili watched her walk away and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He clearly asked Lian Xi to go to work, why did she look so relieved?

Lian Xi returned to the company and just as he stepped into the building, his assistant came up to him and reported: "Boss, someone just sent a flower basket. Where should we put it now?"

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the corner and said, "Please put it there for me."

The assistant responded, carried the bright and juicy roses to a corner, and gave some more instructions before leaving.

Lian Xi was very busy all day long. He would occasionally browse the WeChat group and check the emails in his new mailbox in his spare time. He had no time to think about Lu Sili at all.

On a weekend afternoon, Lian Xi was about to finish his work for the day when he heard a commotion.

She walked out of the office area and saw that some employees were gathered together watching and talking.

Lian Xi walked closer and saw that it was the employees of Lu Group gathered near Lu Sili's office area, discussing something intensely.

She walked in and listened, and quickly determined why Lu Sili was surrounded by the media.

It turned out that a reporter had dug up some news about Lu Sili and wanted to interview him, but he refused to cooperate.

The reporters were unwilling to give up, so they blocked outside his office and tried to interview him.

Upon hearing the news, the female employees in the company couldn't help but get excited, and they wanted to rush over to answer those tricky and sharp questions for Lu Sili.

Lian Xi was also a little surprised that Lu Sili would actually refuse the media interview.

She thought about it and decided to go over and see the situation in person.

Lian Xi walked through the noisy office area and headed towards Lu Sili's office.

There was a huge poster hanging on the wall outside Lu Sili's office, playing an advertisement.

Lian Xi walked in, took a quick look around, and soon found Lu Sili.

He sat in a leather chair with an indifferent look.

On his left and right stood four male staff members, all with their heads down, looking as if they had made a mistake.

Lian Xi looked around and found Lu Sili's personal assistant Li Jie standing next to him with a panicked look on his face.

She walked over and asked Li Jie in a low voice, "What's going on?"

When Li Jie saw Lian Xi, he grabbed her sleeve as if she were his savior and said in a low voice, "Sister Lian Xi, go and beg our boss. He has been uncooperative today, and the reporters have been asking him questions. He is already very annoyed. I am afraid he will not be able to control his temper later..."

Lian Xi frowned, "Do you usually let him do whatever he wants?"

"How dare we?" Li Jie explained with a sad face, "We persuaded him to accept the interview, but he refused. I thought he would compromise this time, but who knew he would actually refuse the reporter. If this continues, I'm worried that we will get into trouble!"

"Trouble?" Lian Xi sneered and said, "Lu Sili is such a proud person, would he be afraid of reporters?"

"No." Li Jie said helplessly, "Although our boss is powerful, he can't handle the number of people... and this is a company under Lu's. If something goes wrong, we can't escape responsibility!"

Lian Xi listened to this, thought for a moment, then looked up at Lu Sili.

Lu Sili still looked down at the screen. Not sure if he noticed her gaze, he raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Sister Lian Xi..."

Li Jie was still wailing. Lian Xi patted his shoulder, motioning him to shut up, and then slowly walked towards Lu Sili.

Li Jie looked at her back at a loss.

Lian Xi walked up to Lu Sili, leaned over, and whispered, "Stop making trouble."

Her voice was not gentle, but it contained an indescribable strength.

Lu Sili was stunned for a moment.

"Are you worried about me?"

Lian Xi nodded without hesitation, "Well, I'm worried about you."

The corners of Lu Sili's lips curled up.

At this moment, Lian Xi only felt the wind blowing past her ears, and she even heard his heartbeat.

Lian Xi blinked and looked at him, "Lu Sili, stop being willful and come home with me."

"I am willful?" Lu Sili asked back, "Lian Xi, I have never seen the word willful in your eyes."
