When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes: "Do you want me to tell the truth?"

"Of course." Why would she listen if it wasn't the truth?

Li Chengyuan pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned serious, his jawline tightened, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

"I will definitely bring you back and keep you by my side for life."

Hearing this, Lin Zhixia's heart started pounding. She knew that Li Chengyuan's current behavior was indeed only temporary.

This is definitely an attempt to keep her by their side so they can slowly torture her.

She forced a smile and said, "I was just joking."

Li Chengyuan gave her a strange look. Lately, he felt that Lin Zhixia's words and actions were very different from before.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

He lowered his eyes, put Lin Zhixia's shoes back on, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Lin Zhixia, if one day you really don't want me anymore, you can tell me. I'm not the kind of person who clings on desperately, but I hope you won't lie to me, because that would hurt me a lot."

Li Chengyuan's last words were tinged with sadness. Lin Zhixia saw him get up and continue pulling his luggage out.

She shook her head in frustration, feeling like she was one of those scumbag women, wondering what would happen next.

This oppressive mood persisted until they arrived at their new home. Upon seeing the bright, clean room, the gloom in Lin Zhixia's heart vanished instantly.

She quickly rushed into the bedroom and pounced on the 1.8-meter-wide bed when she saw it.

"What a big bed! I'll never have to stay in that dark and gloomy basement again."

Lin Zhixia instantly felt that hope had been ushered in her life.

She rolled around on the bed without a care for her image, her hair all messed up, but her face was beaming with a smile.

Does this new home foreshadow a better future for them?

She walked back and forth in her new home for a long time, then looked at the empty white walls in front of her and couldn't help but mutter something to herself.

"It would be great if there was a TV series here, so we could sit on the bed together at night and watch a show or a horror movie or something."

Li Chengyuan leaned his tall frame against the wall and said in a low voice, "It will happen."

Lin Zhixia felt full of energy: "Yes, if we work hard, we'll definitely be able to buy a TV soon."

Since Lin Zhixia moved, her life has been filled with sunshine every day. If she doesn't think about the original owner's ending in the book, Lin Zhixia even feels that this is pretty good.

But what struck her as odd was that Li Chengyuan had been rarely seen lately, leaving early and returning late, busier than usual.

At first, she would wait for him at night, since she also needed to learn about childcare and couldn't rely entirely on a magic touch.

She didn't want to stay in the Li family's house. As the saying goes, "When you walk by the river, there's always a chance you'll encounter bad luck."

That's why she agreed to give it a try with Xu Yanzhou.

But Li Chengyuan always seemed to come back at two or three in the morning and leave again at six or seven in the morning. Counting the time, this was already the seventh day that she and Li Chengyuan had lived under the same roof without seeing each other.

She felt she should find some time to follow Li Chengyuan and see what he was busy with. Even if he was driving for hire, it couldn't have taken him that long.

It's not a holiday recently, so there probably won't be many people dining out.

That day, Li Xiulan held the young master and cried. Unfortunately, the little guy's cries were loud and clear, and the whole Li family mansion could hear them.

It's fortunate I was born into this family, otherwise I would have really been a nuisance.

Lin Zhixia came out of the inner room, carrying the young master's various toys. Li Xiulan was so anxious that her face was covered in sweat, and she kept patting the young master's back.

"Oh dear, what are you trying to do? Why are you crying like this..."

The young master was still whimpering, but whether he understood Li Xiulan's words or sensed her impatience, his wrinkled little face scrunched up, he sobbed twice, and the next second he suddenly burst into a loud wail.

"Waaaah, waaaah... So boring, it's so boring being here every day."

Li Xiulan suddenly felt her head buzzing, as if the top of her head was about to be ripped off.

Lin Zhixia quickly stepped forward: "Sister Li, let me do it."

Li Xiulan saw Lin Zhixia as if she had seen a savior, and quickly handed the little darling in her arms to Lin Zhixia.

"Xiao Lin, did you cast some kind of spell on the young master? How come he listens to you so much? We really have done our homework in private, and we've taken care of so many children, but this young master is just too..."

Li Xiulan didn't even dare to utter the words "difficult to please".

Lin Zhixia heard the complaint from earlier and squeezed his little hand: "Shall we go for a walk?"

The young master sobbed twice, then immediately stopped crying, grinned, and smiled at Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia was almost completely charmed by the little guy.

"How can you be so cute? Come on, let's go inside and change our clothes before we leave."

When Li Xiulan heard that Lin Zhixia was going to take the young master out, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Xiao Lin, I heard that none of the nannies in the entire Li family have ever taken the young master out alone. We've just arrived, so let's not make decisions on our own. Let's ask Butler Wang for permission first."

Lin Zhixia knew this rule; otherwise, with her privileged status, if she were to disappear like Li Chengyuan, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to pay for her life.

Upon learning this, Wang Jingshan did not object and immediately contacted Li Jingchuan.

Li Jingchuan said that he is currently at the construction site here, and there is a villa invested by the Li family nearby, so he can take his children there to play.

However, there is only one requirement: the child must be well cared for and kept safe, and there must be at least seven people to take care of the young master.

Under Wang Jingshan's arrangement, the maids, the nanny, and Lin Zhixia boarded the van and set off in a grand procession.

In the car, Lin Zhixia listened to Zhang Meixia talking animatedly.

"I heard that this mountain resort is a leisure and vacation estate built by the Li family with a huge investment. It is still in the final stages of construction. The entire mountain has been leased by the Li family. The scenery inside is beautiful, and there are few people. It is quiet and peaceful, which is perfect for taking the young master to relax."

After hearing what Zhang Meixia said, Lin Zhixia became somewhat excited about how beautiful it would be.

The car arrived after a forty-minute drive. The further they went in, the more open the view became. The entire hillside was lush with vegetation, and the courtyard was filled with flowers and trees. The distant mountains were layered, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. Lin Zhixia couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The sounds of clanging and banging came from the construction site not far away. Many workers, secured by safety ropes, were clinging to the outer wall, with a steep slope below. Those watching from below were terrified.

Zhang Meixia immediately sighed, her tone filled with sorrow.

"Look at this, how dangerous this job is. It involves being exposed to the wind and sun and climbing high places. My son is playful all day and doesn't like to study. He doesn't even have a skill. If he has to do this kind of high-risk physical work in the future, I'm afraid I'll be worried sick every day."

Zhang Juxiang also sighed with emotion: "That's right, my husband does this kind of work. He refuses to change jobs, saying that this one pays more. There's nothing I can do. Yours is already old enough, but mine is still in college. I don't know what he'll do after graduation."

Lin Zhixia held the little boy in her arms. The little guy was in a new environment. His round eyes looked around curiously, his pink little mouth was slightly open, and he blew out a few small bubbles. His chubby little hands kept clutching Lin Zhixia's collar.

Seeing the young master's facial expression, Zhang Juxiang couldn't help but say, "Children really need to go out more. Look how happy the young master is."

Lin Zhixia smiled without saying a word, glanced at the sunlight today, and when she looked away, her gaze suddenly stopped when it fell on a figure on the high wall.
