The Apple of the Ruthless CEO’s Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable Chapter 59

Chapter 59

....

Qiao Mu hung her head and felt somewhat discouraged as she mumbled, “Uncle, do you know that you’re very hard to please?”

She was just asking him for a small favor! Why did he make things difficult for her like this?

Li Yan raised his brow and a hint of contemplation flashed across his cold eyes, “I’m very hard to please? Do you really remember who was actually pleasing the other person when you were lost in lust that night?”

Qiao Mu’s face immediately turned boiling red as she glared embarrassedly at him, “Pervert!”

This bastard!

It was fine if he did not want to help her, but he was actually mocking her!

“Pervert? Qiao Mu, do you think it’s suitable for a pervert to play the role as your guardian to your university? Aren’t you afraid that the university will bring down the hammer?”

The meaning of his words was…

Qiao Mu’s eyes brightened, “Uncle, you’re willing to help me?”

Her eyes were twinkling brightly. She had been very upset a second ago, but she was bursting with life the next second.

Suddenly, an ill-timed rumble came out from Qiao Mu’s stomach. She rubbed her stomach as her pretty face turned slightly red.

Li Yan remembered that the butler said that she had waited for him for a very long time. He slightly squinted his black eyes and asked, “You haven’t had dinner?”

“Yes.” Qiao Mu nodded. She did not have the mood to eat right at that moment.

Li Yan called the butler over and said, “Uncle Chen, ask the kitchen to prepare some food.”

“Young master, the food is already prepared so you can eat at any time.” The butler said with a smile.

Of course the butler knew that the young master would definitely instruct the kitchen to cook if he knew that Second Young Mistress Qiao had not eaten, so he had already asked the kitchen to prepare some food. Hence, they would be able to eat at any moment’s notice.

Li Yan got up whereas Qiao Mu did not move from her seat. She started to act shamelessly, “You still haven’t promised me to settle the matter yet, so I don’t want to eat.”

Li Yan lowered his gaze to glance at her, “So are you threatening me with your own health?”

“You won’t be threatened by it. You don’t care about me at all!” Qiao Mu mumbled angrily with a soft voice.

“What if I say that I care?”

The man’s low voice sounded like a beautiful melody in Qiao Mu’s ears.

She raised her head in shock as a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Then that tall figure walked toward the dining room after saying three words with a firm voice, “Eat your dinner!”

Qiao Mu grabbed the opportunity and followed smugly behind him, “Uncle, you’ve agreed to help me already, right? I know you’re the best! You certainly can’t bear to see others bullying me! The department head said that I’m a vain person who covet riches and honor! Your appearance will definitely give a good slap on the other person’s face and the other person will be taken by surprise!”

Li Yan stared at the flatterer behind him and reminded her with a cold voice, “Qiao Mu, don’t be so pleased so soon.”

“Alright.” Qiao Mu immediately shut her mouth obediently. She definitely could not get dizzy with pride!

…..

Qiao Mu was satisfied with a hearty meal after dinner, but she did not dare to leave because she had not received an affirmative promise from Li Yan.

She definitely could not return to Qiao family’s mansion at that hour. She could only return to university, and she would naturally need Li Yan to send her back.

However, Li Yan was watching television on the couch without showing any sign of sending her back. She only sat aside and waited for him to voice up.

The television was showing a boring financial channel, and Qiao Mu was bored by the content. The inprehensible news sounded like a lullaby to her as her eyelids started to droop.

Li Yan’s attention was not on the television program at all. He turned his head sideways to look at her. She was feeling sleepy and she straightaway fell asleep with her head tilted to the side in just a short while.

She was like a piglet who could fall asleep at any time.

Li Yan switched off the television. He stood up and carried her in her arms with careful motions before carrying her upstairs.

Her body was very light, so light that he would only feel secure by holding her tightly in his embrace.
