Lu Sili saw that Lian Xi seemed to have something to hide, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Okay, don't worry about it."

Lian Xi nodded, "Hmm..."

After the two arrived at the restaurant entrance, Lian Xi followed Lu Sili in.

Lu Sili went straight to the restaurant on the second floor, booked a table, and then took Lian Xi upstairs.

"The food in this restaurant is delicious, you should try it." Lu Sili recommended.

Lian Xi nodded and sat down.

She just picked up the chopsticks when she suddenly thought of something. She turned her head to look at Lu Sili and said, "You just returned home today. You must have a lot of things to do, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Sili raised his head and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Lian Xi curled his lips and said, "I saw it reported on the online news. The project you are going to discuss cooperation is very important. It will probably take a lot of time, right?"

"It will take quite a long time." Lu Sili said calmly, "About three or four months."

"Wow." Lian Xi blinked, "It took so long, why did you come back now?"

"I was worried about you, so I came back to see you. I have to go there again tomorrow." Lu Sili replied.

Lian Xi felt warm at heart after hearing this.

In fact, she knew that Lu Sili's concern for her was not pure, but even so, Lu Sili was willing to take out his free time to visit her, and this thought was touching enough.

Lian Xi lowered his head and ate in silence.

Lu Sili poured Lian Xi a glass of wine and said, "Have some wine."

"Hmm!" Lian Xi raised the wine glass and clinked it with his, then tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass.

Lian Xi finished drinking and put down the glass, but found that Lu Sili was still staring at her with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see through all her secrets.

"Why...are you looking at me like that?" Lian Xi touched his cheek and said, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Sili shook his head and smiled, "No." After a pause, he reached out to help Lian Xi wipe the residue from the corner of her mouth.

Lian Xi was stunned by his action and froze for a moment.

Although they had been married for many years, he had never wiped her mouth intimately except the night before getting the marriage certificate.

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment. After she recovered, she immediately shifted her attention and said calmly, "I'm full. I'll go back first."

Hearing this, Lu Sili raised his eyebrows and looked at her, saying, "Are you sure you want to go back?"

Lian Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally insisted, "Yes, I'm really full." After that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Lu Sili also stood up, grabbed her arm and said, "Stay with me for a while."

Lian Xi was somewhat helpless, so he broke free from his grip and said, "Okay."

The two sat down and continued their meal.

Lian Xi originally planned to slip away as soon as the meal was over. After all, the situation just now was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sili did not intend to let her go and forced her to stay here and have dinner with him.

Lian Xi was in a passive state almost throughout the meal. Occasionally, Lu Sili would ask her if she was full or pick up some food for her, but Lian Xi could only pretend to eat as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, the meal did not take too long. After the meal, Lu Sili sent Lian Xi home.

Lian Xi and Lu Sili were the only ones at home, so it was exceptionally quiet.

"You should get some rest early." Lu Sili said, "I'm going to fly to Country M tomorrow and it will take at least a week for me to come back."

Lian Xi nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."

Lu Sili responded, then leaned over and kissed Lian Xi's forehead, saying, "Good night."

Lian Xi pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

It wasn't until Lu Sili let her go that she reacted. She took a step back and her face flushed red.

Seeing this, Lu Sili looked at her with interest, "Are you shy?"

"No." Lian Xi denied it flatly, "Who, who is shy..."

Lu Sili laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you are not shy."

Lian Xi tried to adjust her breathing and steady her heartbeat. Then, she turned and walked towards the bedroom, saying as she walked, "I'm going to sleep."

Lu Sili looked at her back, with a slight smile on his lips.

Lian Xi returned to the room, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.

She tossed and turned, the image of Lu Sili appearing in her mind.

Thinking of this, she turned over again.

This went on for a long time until three or four in the morning when she finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

At around six or seven in the morning, Lian Xi woke up from his dream.

When she woke up, she found herself sweating all over.

Lian Xi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then got up, dressed and washed, and finally changed into a simple sportswear and went out for exercise.

Lian Xi has been running every day these days. Although he doesn't keep training for a long time like others, running every day is still necessary, especially at six or seven in the morning when the amount of exercise is relatively light.

Lian Xi walked around the park twice and then walked back. After walking half a block, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side.

The footsteps seemed hurried and heavy.

Lian Xi stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a pair of black leather shoes emerging from the bushes at the bend in front of him, and then the shoes slowly moved outwards.

The owner of the pair of leather shoes got closer and closer to the light, and finally his full appearance was revealed.

Lian Xi took a closer look—it was indeed Shen Shi.

He seemed to have specially chosen a white shirt today, with a dark blue tie, which matched well and elegantly. At this moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Lian Xi, his eyes were gentle and peaceful, as if he had forgotten what unpleasant things happened last night.

Lian Xi stared at him for a moment and just felt annoyed. Why did this person always follow him?

Lian Xi turned and left, quickening his pace, and soon he got rid of Shen Shi.

With a sigh of relief, Lian Xi went to the company and started a new day's work.

Now that I am the vice president, my top priority is to do my job well and try to get the project as soon as possible so that I can better manage the group in the future.

Once Lian Xi got busy with work, she had no time to think about anything else. It was not until lunch break when she was about to pack up and leave the office that she met Jiang Qi at the elevator entrance.

Jiang Qi's face was full of disdain.

"Now that Lu Sili is not here, you don't have to pretend." Jiang Qi snorted, "Lian Xi, you are such a jerk!"

"I'm happy to do so." Lian Xi retorted bluntly, "But you are the one who is cheap. I'm already married, why do you keep pestering my husband?"

Jiang Qi sneered and said, "Do you know? If you hadn't married Lu Sili, I would be Mrs. Lu now."

"Tsk, so you like Lu Sili." Lian Xi glanced at her sarcastically and said, "Let me tell you, Lu Sili likes me more than he likes you."

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth, "Bitch!"
