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

Just then, that familiar figure tilted his head slightly, and Lin Zhixia saw his face clearly. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Li Chengyuan!

How did he end up here?

Li Xiulan, who was standing next to her, noticed that Lin Zhixia's expression was not very good, and just then, the little boy in her arms started crying again.

"Waaah... Waaah..."

"You're holding me so tight, I can't breathe."

Lin Zhixia lowered her eyes and realized that she had been frightened and had unconsciously loosened her grip on the young master. She quickly loosened her grip and apologized to the young master with a guilty look on her face.

"I'm sorry, don't cry, don't cry. How about I sing you a song later?"

The young master in her arms seemed to perk up when he heard the singing, and his crying gradually stopped. He then started playing with Lin Zhixia's hair with his fair and soft hands.

Lin Zhixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, Li Chengyuan had already stepped down from the steel frame platform, covered in dust. He casually took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel around his neck, and unintentionally turned around, his gaze unexpectedly colliding with Lin Zhixia, who was holding a child not far away.

A moment of surprise flashed in Li Chengyuan's dark eyes. The two stared at each other for a long time, as if time had stood still.

Lin Zhixia couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. She handed the young master in her arms to Li Xiulan and walked quickly toward Li Chengyuan.

She walked up to him, her usually gentle face contorted in a frown, as if the volcano in her heart was about to erupt.

"Why are you working here? In this sweltering heat, standing so high up, do you know how dangerous it is? What if you get heatstroke? What if you fall? You could die! Do you know that?!"

She clenched her fingers tightly, and the veins on the back of her fair hand bulged out from the force, revealing the blue blood vessels faintly.

Lin Zhixia's voice was louder than usual, as if she had used all her strength.

She had just seen Li Chengyuan standing so high up; just looking at him made her dizzy. In such hot weather, he was standing there all by himself.

I have to work as a designated driver tonight; even a body of iron can't withstand this kind of strain.

Li Chengyuan saw her face turn bright red; when she was angry, her cheeks puffed out, and her eyes were red from straining.

He explained to her in a low voice.

"I used to do this job too, you know? I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so angry."

He really didn't expect her to react so strongly.

In the past, she could ask him for whatever she wanted. Lin Zhixia had said that she would have no objection to whatever he did as long as it was not illegal.

Lin Zhixia's anger, which was still rising, subsided considerably upon hearing his words.

In the book, the original owner used to make a scene at home every few days in order to snag a limited edition Hermes bag, making Li Chengyuan do whatever it took to raise the money to buy the bag for him.

Forced by the original owner of the body, Li Chengyuan was afraid that she would take out online loans again and owe more and more money, so he could only specifically choose jobs that were high-risk but paid well.

It's not entirely Li Chengyuan's fault. The original owner had been using psychological manipulation for years, which probably created a stereotype in Li Chengyuan's mind. Plus, he had never been in a relationship before.

Since the original owner was the only girl, she naturally didn't understand anything and could only obey orders.

Lin Zhixia restrained her temper, but still told him very seriously.

"Go find your boss right now and quit. We don't care about today's pay; we'd rather earn more than do this job again!"

The thought that all the money she spent was earned by Li Chengyuan at the cost of his life made her feel suffocated.

Li Chengyuan remained silent after Lin Zhixia's words and nodded.

"Then I'll talk to the boss later."

Lin Zhixia's expression was still not good: "From now on, you have to tell me what kind of work you want to do."

Li Chengyuan: "Okay."

He glanced past Lin Zhixia at a few servants not far away, then changed the subject and asked him a question.

"How did you end up here?"

Lin Zhixia's heart sank as she realized that she had come with Zhang Meixia and the others.

Oh no, could Zhang Meixia have met Li Chengyuan?!

Lin Zhixia hurriedly said, "Um... yes, I brought the boss's child out for a walk today."

Li Chengyuan glanced at something not far away.

"Should I go over and say hello to your boss?"

Lin Zhixia quickly stood in front of him.

"No need, no need, our boss isn't here, I'll go over there first."

Li Chengyuan didn't think too much about it, just assuming that she might find him a bit dirty and that he was indeed not suitable to meet her boss.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

Lin Zhixia almost ran to Zhang Meixia and the others, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Let's hurry up, it's too hot."

Zhang Meixia, holding the little boy, asked curiously, "Hey, Xiaolin, was that your boyfriend just now? He's so tall! You two look so good together."

Lin Zhixia nodded absentmindedly, "It's alright, it's alright."

She walked very fast, afraid that something else might happen, but it seemed that Aunt Zhang and the others didn't recognize her.

Li Chengyuan was wearing a safety helmet that covered most of his face, and his face was covered in dust from working. It would be hard for most people to associate him with the young master of the Li family.

Now that things have come to this, Lin Zhixia can only console herself with this thought.

Several people took the young master to the villa and showed him around, letting him see all the new and interesting things.

Li Xiulan couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Listening to Xiaolin was definitely the right thing to do. Look, the young master hasn't cried much all morning since we brought him out. To be honest, every night when I go back home and close my eyes to lie in bed, all I can hear in my head is the sound of a baby crying."

Zhang Meixia sat on the sofa and rubbed her aching lower back: "Isn't that right? Before Xiaolin came, I was practically suffering from neurasthenia. I just got some sleeping pills a while ago."

Li Jingchuan instructed the people here to come out and greet Lin Zhixia and the others, and to take the young master around for a stroll.

Lin Zhixia was somewhat absent-minded throughout the day, with a persistent feeling of unease.

Around 5 p.m., Zhang Meixia and Li Xiulan took the young master to take a bath, and Lin Zhixia finally sneaked out to breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as she stepped into the stairwell, a pair of large hands covered her eyes from behind. Lin Zhixia was so frightened that she opened her mouth to call for help.

"Don't call out, it's me."

That familiar, deep voice rang in Lin Zhixia's ears.

Lin Zhixia turned her head and saw Li Chengyuan, and looked around in fright.

"What are you doing here?"

"The contractor treated us to milk tea, and this is your favorite flavor, so I brought it over for you."

Li Chengyuan took out a cup of less iced milk tea from the milk tea bag and handed it to Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia was stunned and didn't know what to say.

To be honest, Li Chengyuan is truly exceptional when it comes to treating his girlfriends.

Since he had brought it to her from so far away, Lin Zhixia couldn't refuse. She reached out and took it, inserted the straw, and then handed it to him first.

"Take a sip."

Li Chengyuan looked at the milk tea she handed him, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"So, does this count as an indirect kiss?"
