She lay on her side with her back slightly arched, her black, soft hair spread on the pillow, setting off her snow-white skin.

Lu Sili sat down beside the bed and gazed at her beautiful and peaceful sleeping face.

She has delicate eyebrows and beautiful facial features, and her skin is delicate and smooth, like a peeled egg.

He stared at Lian Xi for a long time, then suddenly moved close to her face and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

The next morning, Lu Sili woke up and found Lian Xi still sleeping soundly, with long curly eyelashes covering her eyelids, a straight nose and bright red lips.

Lu Sili lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Then he threw back the covers and got up.

After washing, changing clothes and packing, he took the car keys and prepared to go to the company.

After opening the door, Lu Sili was surprised to find Lian Xi in the living room, sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Hearing the noise, Lian Xi raised his eyes and looked at the man at the door.

He was wearing a grey shirt and beige trousers. He had a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and a calm and indifferent expression, as if the man who had just kissed Lian Xi on the forehead was not him.

"Come along, I have to get back to work."

"Okay." Lian Xi agreed happily, stood up and walked outside, walked a few steps and then stepped back, saying, "I forgot to bring my bag."

Lu Sili returned to the room, helped Lian Xi take out the bag and handed it to her.

Lian Xi thanked him with a smile: "Thanks to you!"

The two took the elevator downstairs. Lu Sili sent Lian Xi to the company gate and then drove away.

Lian Xi went upstairs, entered the office area, and put the bag in his seat.

Two girls were gossiping at the desk. One of them said, "Hey, did you hear? Jiang Qi was fired."

Another girl sneered, "She's the most beloved person in our department, and she was fired?"

"I thought we were the only ones who knew. Turns out everyone knows!"

"I guessed it when I saw the news yesterday!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Qi is so pitiful..."

"Don't say she's pitiful. Mr. Lu already has a wife, but she still sticks to him all day long. It's so embarrassing!"

"Alas, people live for fame, fortune and money. This kind of thing is too common. It's just that Jiang Qi didn't have the ability to win Mr. Lu's heart."

Listening to the discussions of the two women in the office area, Lian Xi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

Jiang Qi...haha.

There is no shortage of cheap people in this world.

Lian Xi turned around and returned to his seat.

However, she was not happy about it.

Lian Xi sat on the chair, the image of Jiang Qi's former arrogance emerged in his mind, and he found it extremely boring.

She had never done anything to hurt Jiang Qi, nor did she bother to compete with Jiang Qi for Lu Sili.

However, Jiang Qi targeted her everywhere.

Lian Xi sighed, shook his head, shook off his worries, and buried his head in work.

The news of Jiang Qi being fired caused a lot of controversy.

Every time Lian Xi met her, he could see her embarrassed face and resentful and jealous eyes.

That afternoon, Lian Xi was reviewing documents when the office door was pushed open.

Lian Xi raised his head and saw Jiang Qi walk in, smiling at him provocatively.

Lian Xi treated her coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Jiang Qi walked straight to Lian Xi's desk, folded his arms, and looked down at Lian Xi condescendingly.

"Lian Xi, congratulations," she said, "You successfully squeezed me out and took charge of the company."

"Oh, really?" Lian Xi asked in a nonchalant tone, "I congratulate you too. After all, you will never have the chance to step into the group building again in your life."

Jiang Qi was so angry that he slammed the table and yelled, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!"

"I can tell you to get out of here based on my strength. Is there any problem?" Lian Xi raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Strength? Strength can drive me away? Lian Xi, I advise you to save your energy!"

Lian Xi ignored her and continued to work with his head down.

The more Jiang Qi looked at her nonchalant look, the angrier she became, and she reached out and grabbed Lian Xi's arm.

"Listen to me! You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, otherwise... I won't let you go!"

"Heh." Lian Xi sneered, facing her vicious gaze without fear, "I'll wait."

Jiang Qi stared at Lian Xi's eyes, and suddenly found that her pupils shrank slightly, as if hiding some kind of forbearance and determination.

At that moment, she felt an inexplicable panic.

She quickly shook off this ridiculous idea and gritted her teeth and said, "Lian Xi, just wait and see!"

After leaving the threat, Jiang Qi turned and left.

Lian Xi did not move for a long time, just rubbing the tip of the pen with his fingertips.

Jiang Qi returned to his desk, sat down, turned on his computer, checked this year's financial statements and prepared for the handover.

As soon as she clicked her mouse, she received a new email alert.

Jiang Qi picked up the phone in confusion, typed in the two letters "ls", and received the email.

The email was sent from an unfamiliar number and contained a document with photos and a brief explanation.

Jiang Qi's pupils suddenly shrank.

The photo showed a little girl, about five or six years old, wearing a white princess dress and beautiful braids.

Jiang Qi's breathing became rapid and heavy.

With trembling hands, she typed a few lines and pressed the send button.

Shortly after the email was sent, the other party sent another email.

"Jiang Qi, the murderer who killed your sister has been found. It's Lian Xi's brother. He killed people to protect his sister. You should know what to do, right?"

Jiang Qi's whole body was stiff and his hands and feet were cold.

Her hands holding the mouse were shaking violently, and she ultimately didn't have the courage to click to delete the email.

Jiang Qi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

She could pretend she didn't know, and when she found evidence, she would directly expose Cheng Muxi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, opened his mailbox and deleted the email.

Her face gradually regained its composure.

Jiang Qi picked up the landline phone, dialed a number, and instructed: "Go and help me contact a private detective agency, it must be reliable."

After hanging up the phone, she felt that the bad energy accumulated in her chest had dissipated a lot.

Jiang Qi let out a long sigh and continued to look through the documents.

Lian Xi didn't take Jiang Qi's picking on him to heart and continued to quietly busy himself with his own things.

At dinner time, Lu Sili came back.

Looking at the exhausted Lian Xi, he was a little confused and asked, "How did you get into this state?"

"It's okay." Lian Xi shook his head, "I'm used to working overtime."

Lu Sili frowned: "Can't you finish your meal earlier and go back to your room to rest?"

"I'm afraid I'm too tired to sleep." Lian Xi smiled and picked up the bowl to eat. "I'll eat first, you go slower."

"Ah."

Lu Sili nodded and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food.

His eyes swept across the dining table and suddenly found a piece of paper. He paused and asked, "What is this?"
