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

Just thinking about that scene in the original novel makes Lin Zhixia reluctant to go and meet Li Chengyuan.

She said with difficulty, "Can't you just find a designated driver to pick him up?"

Zhou Zean seemed to be talking to someone, and Lin Zhixia heard it was a bit noisy, but she could vaguely hear Li Chengyuan's voice.

Then Zhou Zean coughed twice on the other end of the phone and said...

"Ah Yuan said you're now the Li family's nanny. You should do whatever he tells you to do. You need to know your place!"

Lin Zhixia pursed her lips tightly, her heart feeling as if it had been stuffed with cotton. Li Chengyuan was indeed someone she had talked to before; the closer the relationship, the more he knew where to strike for maximum pain.

She responded softly, "I understand."

Lin Zhixia hurriedly changed her clothes, grabbed her phone, and went out. Luckily, she ran into a taxi right at the door.

Otherwise, given the remote location of the Li family's old residence, even if we waited for another two hours, we might not be able to wait.

Upon arriving at Nightfall Bar, Lin Zhixia found the private room according to the message sent by Zhou Zean. She held the doorknob and looked inside through the transparent window.

Li Chengyuan was huddled in the corner of the sofa, his long legs casually crossed, his dark eyes drooping, looking extremely indifferent and impatient.

He was a man with strong and sharp bones, a bone structure that easily leaves a deep impression. Lin Zhixia had been with him for so long, but she had never seen Li Chengyuan like this before.

With one arm being pulled by the girl, he used his other hand to push open the cigarette pack, pull out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and then took out a lighter.

Lin Zhixia had not fully accepted the fact that Li Chengyuan had regained his memories until now, when she clearly realized that the Li Chengyuan from before had returned.

She took a deep breath and tried to mentally prepare herself before pushing open the door and going in.

Lin Zhixia knew that the original owner of this body hadn't had a good relationship with these people before, so she didn't bother with the pretense and went straight to Li Chengyuan, looking at him with a cold expression.

"Let's go back."

Hearing Lin Zhixia's words and glancing at her aloof expression, Zhou Zean couldn't help but greet Wen Xuzhi beside him.

"Miss Lin is indeed Miss Lin. Even though the Lin family went bankrupt, she still looks at people with such disdain."

Wen Xu put his hand on Zhou Ze'an's shoulder, and with his other hand he held a wine glass, gently swirling the liquid inside, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"But did you hear that just now? Miss Lin told A Yuan to go back. I'm starting to wonder if the sun has risen in the west. Everyone in our circle knows how much they used to hate each other."

Zhou Ze'an agreed to help Li Chengyuan call Lin Zhixia over in order to verify the facts.

"That's true. I remember those two used to fight every time they met, and they even said that they would never be interested in each other even if they were single for the rest of their lives."

"It turns out the two of them actually dated! It's absolutely outrageous, utterly absurd."

Wen Xuzhi patted Zhou Ze'an on the shoulder: "Alright, alright, you've seen the news yourself..."

Zhou Zean, always eager for drama, went over and asked Lin Zhixia.

"Miss Lin, may I ask what your state of mind was when you took A-Yuan away and started dating him?"

"Since you two used to get along so badly, didn't you ever feel like punching him just for looking at him?"

Lin Zhixia didn't think the two people were joking at all; on the contrary, she felt they were humiliating her.

After all, they had clashed with the original owner quite a bit in the past.

Lin Zhixia didn't want to argue with these people. She was very sleepy. She had to get up tomorrow morning to prepare milk for the young master and take him for a walk in the yard.

The air is best in the morning; otherwise, with this kind of weather, the sun would be up by eight or nine o'clock.

Then the children won't be able to get sun exposure.

She glanced down at Li Chengyuan: "Are you leaving or not?"

Li Chengyuan remained silent, but the woman next to him spoke up.

"Hey, who's this, Young Master Li? Is this your girlfriend? She's so fierce."

"No, it's our nanny."

Li Chengyuan leaned lazily on the sofa, looking like he had drunk quite a bit, but Lin Zhixia knew his alcohol tolerance and that he wasn't drunk to the point of being unconscious.

The woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard the word "nanny".

"Why is the nanny acting so arrogantly here? I thought she was my sister-in-law. No, are all your nannies this fierce?"

"As expected, Ms. Li has a good temper. If it were me, I would have fired her long ago. I've never seen a nanny who's more ruthless than the boss."

Li Chengyuan glanced at Lin Zhixia's aloof face and nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah, she's pretty fierce."

Seeing Li Chengyuan's expression, Lin Zhixia realized that he hadn't come to pick her up at all; he had come to humiliate her.

She could have easily found a designated driver to take her home, but she had to come and bother her late at night.

But thinking about it, it does fit his personality. After all, the Li Chengyuan of today is no longer the Li Chengyuan who squeezed into a rented room with her.

Lin Zhixia did not refute, but simply said something indifferently.

"Since Mr. Li hasn't had enough fun yet, I'll wait for you outside."

After Lin Zhixia finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Pour us some wine." Li Chengyuan's voice was a little hoarse, as if he were slightly drunk, and casual and relaxed.

Lin Zhixia paused slightly, her fingers clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. She tried her best to control herself, to stay clear-headed and calm.

She has no right to stand up to Li Chengyuan now. He's right, she owes him this.

The woman leaned against Li Chengyuan's chest, looking like she was enjoying the drama.

"Mr. Li, did you see that? She doesn't seem very willing. Maybe we shouldn't force her. Let me pour you some wine."

As she spoke, the woman prepared to get up to get the wine bottle, but Li Chengyuan stopped her.

"Don't move!"

His voice had taken on a chilling tone.

Li Chengyuan's gaze fell on Lin Zhixia, his dark eyelashes drooping downwards.

"Lin Zhixia, pour the wine, can't you hear me? Have you forgotten your place?"

Lin Zhixia pursed her lips, feeling as if something was blocking her chest, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Zean, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but say, "Miss Lin, I think you really need to change your personality. Before, you were the daughter of the Lin family, and you could do whatever you wanted. But now it's different. Your Lin family has gone bankrupt, and you've ruined A Yuan like this."

"But all I'm asking you to do is pour a drink, it's not like I'm asking you to go through hell and high water, what's so difficult about that?"

Wen Xuzhi leaned against the corner of the sofa as if his bones had fallen apart, staring at Lin Zhixia with a half-smile in his eyes.

"Yes, if only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. If you don't want to pour the wine, you can tell us what you were thinking back then. I'm very curious, Miss Lin, your relationship with A-Yuan was so strained before, how did you end up dating him..."
