Lin Xu was as beautiful as the autumn moon, and she was often approached by men when she was outside. She had been standing in the lobby of Xie's for a while when a man came over to express his concern.

"Miss, I see you've been here for a few minutes. Are you having any trouble?"

"No, I'll just stay here for a while and then leave." Lin Xu said.

"Why don't you go to the coffee shop across the street and sit down? I'll treat you to a cup of coffee, how about that?" the man said.

"Ah." Lin Xu was embarrassed. "I want to go too, but I have to pick up my kids from school later."

The man understood immediately after hearing this, "Since you are busy, I won't bother you for now."

After saying that, he left with a look of regret on his face.

This beauty looks quite young. I didn’t expect that she got married and had children so early.

The sound here was not loud, but the handsome man at the door definitely heard it.

"Mr. Xie, is there any problem?" Seeing the man standing there motionless, the assistant beside him asked anxiously.

Xie Changyan retracted his gaze, "It's okay."

He continued to walk inside, and a second before getting on the elevator, he glanced at Lin Xu again.

The inexplicable strange feeling in his chest had disappeared, as if it was just an illusion, and then he walked into the elevator with a calm expression.

When Lin Xu returned to the villa in the afternoon, the housekeeper excitedly greeted her and asked, "Ms. Lin, have you found the person who leaked the information?"

Wen Li didn't have classes today. If it was a few days ago, she would have gone out to look for Xiao Yu. But thinking of Lin Xu's purpose of going to Xie's today, she was terrified the whole morning and didn't want to go out for fun.

Hearing the housekeeper's question, she suddenly became nervous and clenched her hands.

"When I went there, my friend was busy and hadn't found anything yet." Lin Xu sighed regretfully.

The housekeeper was equally regretful, "I see."

"But it's okay. My friend told me that he will send me the person's information after he finishes his work. It should be an hour or two later." Lin Xu said.

The huge rock on Wen Li's chest fell down slowly, and the next second it was lifted into the air again, like a dagger suspended in mid-air, which would fall at any time and pierce her heart.

"He should be able to deliver the information to the villa by express delivery within the city. If you see someone delivering a courier later, remember to receive it." Lin Xu said to the housekeeper, "I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

The housekeeper naturally agreed and said in a very professional manner: "Ms. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you as soon as I receive the express delivery."

Lin Xu nodded and walked upstairs while yawning.

Passing by Wen Li, Lin Xu saw her pale face, and the surprise between her eyebrows was a little exaggerated. She asked with concern: "You look so ugly, what happened?"

"I, I... I just didn't sleep well last night." Wen Li's heart beat faster due to nervousness, and she tried hard to control her emotions and calm down.

"Is that so? Then let's go upstairs together and catch up on some sleep?"

"I... I'm not sleepy yet, so I won't go upstairs to sleep." Wen Li forced a smile and politely declined her suggestion.

She wanted to wait for the courier to come and see if there was any way to exchange the information.

Lin Xu didn't force it. He just smiled at her and went upstairs.

Maybe it was because she felt guilty, but Wen Li always felt that the smile on her face had a deeper meaning, which made her feel uneasy.

For a moment, Wen Li and the housekeeper were the only ones left in the living room.

In the hot summer, the air conditioner is always on in the villa to keep the temperature in the house within a comfortable and cool range.

But even so, Wen Li's forehead was still covered with sweat.

Every time she heard some movement at the door, she would sweat even more, fearing that the courier had arrived.

"Miss Wen, are you feeling unwell?" The housekeeper asked with concern when he saw that she was acting strangely.

"I...maybe." Wen Li was about to deny it, but suddenly she thought of something and changed the subject, "I didn't eat much today, and my stomach hurts a little. Could you go to the kitchen and make something to eat?"

Mrs. Zhang went out to buy groceries. Wen Li wanted to eat, so the housekeeper had to go into the kitchen herself.

"But... Miss Lin said the courier will be here later, and I still have to pick up the package." The housekeeper looked hesitant.

"If the courier comes, I will just call you. My stomach hurts so much, please help me." Wen Li looked at him with wet eyes, and cold sweat of pain was still on her forehead, which made people feel heartbroken.

The housekeeper softened his heart and agreed.

Wen Li was the only one left in the living room. She was considering hiding the information first and then saying that the courier had not delivered it yet.

As time passed, Wen Li became more and more anxious, fearing that the courier would cook even slower than the housekeeper.

Finally, the iron gate outside the villa opened.

The harsh and irritating sound of rust sounded like the sound of nature to Wen Li. She quickly stood up and walked towards the entrance, wanting to get the information as soon as possible.

However, before she could open the door, the door to the entrance hall opened first.

When she saw the person coming in, she was stunned for a moment.

Ji Tingyang's face also flashed with surprise, and he hesitated and said: "You, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes." Wen Li suppressed the fear on her face and smiled, "You have been very busy these days. I asked the housekeeper to cook chicken soup to help you replenish your body."

He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to care about him. Ji Tingyang looked surprised, but also a little happy.

He raised his lips and wanted to say something else, but the phone in his pocket rang.

There are those annoying calls from shareholders again.

Ji Tingyang frowned, said to Wen Li that he would answer the phone first, and then walked towards the backyard.

Wen Li didn't expect Ji Tingyang to come back early today, and she was so scared that she didn't know what to do.

But fortunately, he went to the backyard to answer the phone, and she was left alone in the living room again.

Maybe what you fear will come true. Before she could relax, the housekeeper came out of the kitchen carrying food.

"Miss Wen, the food is ready. Don't you have a stomachache? Come and eat." The housekeeper shouted.

The housekeeper was so kind-hearted that he urged her several times and almost came over to greet her to the dining table himself.

“……” There was no other way, Wen Li could only go over reluctantly.

Her mind had never been working as fast as it was at this moment. She kept thinking of ways to try to get the butler away again.

"Hello, In-City Express!" the doorbell rang.

Before Fa Zi could think of it, the express delivery arrived like a death warrant.

Looking at the butler's back as he walked towards the door, Wen Li's face turned terribly pale.

In less than a moment, she saw the housekeeper coming back with an A4-sized document bag.

He didn't give it to Lin Xu, but first went to the backyard to give it to Ji Tingyang.

The housekeeper thought, this matter is so important, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Ji Tingyang directly? Why go through so much trouble and have it go through Lin Xu in between.

After seeing Ji Tingyang take it, Wen Li stood up suddenly, her heart panicking. When she came to her senses, she had already rushed to the backyard.
