NO398 Don't be a shrinking turtle

She was afraid of dining with him at the same table, afraid of seeing him staring at her intently, and afraid that when she was stubborn, she would say crueler words to hurt him, so she wanted to shift her attention to Cindy.

And the real reason why she hugged Cindy was because she felt that she felt safe enough...

However, her worries were actually unnecessary, because when the dinner came to an end, Li Yan did not appear in the hall.

The food in her mouth seemed to have no taste. She chewed it mechanically, but she didn't swallow a few mouthfuls of food.

The servant noticed her unappetizing expression and asked with concern, "Madam, is the food not to your liking? Do you need to change it?"

Mi Ruo didn't want to cause trouble, and she knew the real reason why she couldn't eat. She shook her head slightly and said, "No, no need to change, these are the dishes... quite good."

"Mommy -" Cindy raised her head from the bowl and looked at Mi Ruo's face in confusion, "Mommy, are you waiting for dad to compete?"

Mi Ruo was stunned, "Uh..." Feeling that she had lost her composure, she suddenly became at a loss.

She is waiting for him? No way...even Cindy can see it?

Cindy looked at Mi Ruo with bright eyes, "Daddy is out."

"He went out?" Mi Ruo suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Joanna since she returned home. She subconsciously choked her throat and asked quietly, "Did you go out to do errands with Aunt Anna?"

Cindy shook her head, "Aunt Anna moved away since the day Mommy got sick."

"Moved?!" Mi Ruo was surprised, "Where did you move to?"

"Sir didn't say anything," Aunt Li on the side explained, "Madam, the day you fell ill, your husband had a big fight with Miss Anna after he came back from the hospital, and Miss Anna moved away the next morning."

They actually quarreled, how could that happen?!

Mi Ruowu was lost in thought, and Aunt Li added, "Madam, your husband just left after dinner. He told you to take good care of you. He won't be back tonight."

I see……

Mi Ruo took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm going to sleep with Cindy tonight, so you don't have to clean up the room."

The servants nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

——

At the same time, Li Yan was sitting in the exclusive private room of the "harem", looking coldly at the wine glass in his hand. Gu Bo opened the door and walked in, sitting down on the sofa opposite him.

Li Yan glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't you see that I'm in a bad mood?! Leave me alone for a while."

Gu Bo chuckled and said, "The president of the dignified Yanhuang Group has become a homeless wretch. Who would believe it?!"

Li Yan snorted coldly and said nothing. Gu Bo suddenly calmed down and looked at Li Yan with narrowed eyes, his deep eyes exuding rare sharpness, "Yan, there is news from an informant that William will

Make an unannounced visit to Nancheng within a week, I think it’s time for you to be prepared."

Li Yan's dark eyes sank slightly. Gu Bo's information had always been very accurate. It seemed that the meeting with William was imminent.

"How are you doing over there?" Gubo asked.

"Joanna has moved away, I sent someone to monitor her," Li Yan's eyes suddenly added a touch of danger. After Mi Ruo fainted and was hospitalized that day, Joanna had a big quarrel with him, and then walked out of the villa.

Moved out.

It must be said that Joanna's whereabouts were very suspicious, as if she did it deliberately and took the opportunity to move out of his house.

"As for Mi Ruo and Cindy... I will send them to your place for shelter as soon as possible."

"Okay, no problem."

——

The next day, when Mi Ruo woke up, Cindy had been sent to kindergarten by A Biao. After washing, Mi Ruo stood in front of the window and looked at herself blankly.

At this moment, although her face was thin, it had obvious blood color, and she looked so ugly. If she hadn't put on some light makeup, she would not even have the courage to go out to meet people.

She took a deep breath in front of the mirror, turned around and was about to go out.

The cell phone rang at this moment. After taking the call, the other party said politely, "Hello, are you Miss Mi Ruo?"

Mi Ruo was slightly startled, "I am Mi Ruo, what can I do?"

"Hello, Ms. Mi, this is the Armani counter in xx shopping mall. Your custom-made handmade tie has arrived. Please bring the relevant documents to collect your goods."

Mi Ruo felt a little embarrassed, "Can someone else pick it up on my behalf?"

"I'm really sorry, because you purchased a customized product, so you must come to pick it up in person."

"...Okay, I understand."

I really didn't expect that she was thinking about giving him a tie two days ago, but now she is regretting it, not because she is reluctant to give up the money, but because she feels uncomfortable even meeting him, let alone giving him a tie...

However, it was a pity to throw away that tie. Mi Ruo decided to get the tie after breakfast. It happened that she hadn't gone out for a long time. Going for a walk was also beneficial to the body and mind.

She came downstairs, and the servants smiled when they saw her, "Madam, are you awake?"

Mi Ruo nodded in a friendly manner, "I'm hungry... What did you cook today that tasted delicious?"

The servants responded enthusiastically, "We made nutritious porridge with wolfberry and longan for you. You need to take good care of yourself now."

"Thank you." Mi Ruo smiled lightly.

Mi Ruo came to the dining table, but when her eyes touched the handsome figure sitting at the dining table, the smile on her face froze instantly.

Didn't he go out last night? When did he come back?

Li Yan was holding a newspaper that had just been released today in his hand. He was dressed casually and looked refreshed. He was not in a bad mood at all as Cindy described.

Mi Ruo's footsteps stopped in place, and the expression on her face seemed very stiff. It was neither going in nor going in.

The man never raised his eyes, but he noticed her appearance at some point, and a magnetic deep voice came out, "Why don't you come over for breakfast?"

She calmed down and said, "I...I won't eat." She turned around and left.

"Stop!" Li Yan suddenly spoke out and said sternly, "Mi Ruo, when did you become such a shrinking turtle?!"

Mi Ruo suddenly looked back and stared at him angrily. After a long time, she calmed down and moved back to the dining table and sat across from him.

The servants arranged the tableware for them and then left one after another.

Mi Ruo picked up the tableware and put the food into her mouth without raising her eyes to look at him. Li Yan also put away the newspaper and concentrated on eating.

If they were getting along like this calmly, she could keep her expressions the same, but his lukewarm voice abruptly broke the silence at this moment, "I will send you to the Gu family's old house for the time being..."
