Chapter 569: Chapter 566: Wang Xiaohu’s Invitation

(Tears, only three monthly tickets... it’s really too pitiful, isn’t it? I’ve been updating with ten thousand words for four consecutive days... Can’t you give me some encouragement? Ahem, brother, you’re really making things difficult for me, you know? I mean, I’d love to have your update tickets, but ten thousand words is already the utmost I can manage with all my effort! Tears...)

"Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about this. In any case, I won’t let it go easily. As for the Zeng family, I’ll handle them myself. In short, I definitely won’t let any enemy who has crossed our Li Family get off easy!"

Li Ziyoung’s voice carried a hint of chilling coldness, his gaze flickered with a terrifying glint, and his fists were clenched tightly together.

"This..."

Li Wenchao looked at the frighteningly serious Li Ziyoung beside him, and couldn’t help but show a hint of worry in his eyes. For some reason, as he looked at his grandson and listened to the words he once admired, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

.........

In the villa at Azure Waterfront, Xiao Yi sat in front of Situ Qingfeng, gripping his wrist, checking his pulse, his expression grave and meticulously serious as he listened closely.

Although Situ Qingfeng originally had a smile on his face, seeing Xiao Yi’s serious expression made him nervous, to the point where he hardly dared to breathe. But as Xiao Yi’s frown deepened, Situ Qingfeng couldn’t hold back any longer. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask Xiao Yi what was wrong, but seeing Xiao Yi’s focused listening, he was afraid that speaking would disturb him, and grew more and more anxious.

"There, it should be fine now. You know, you really ought to be more careful in the future, and not push yourself this hard again."

Sensing Situ Qingfeng’s nervousness and anxiety, especially his restless demeanor, Xiao Yi almost let out a laugh, feeling that he had teased him enough and should stop. He finally released his hand, suppressing the laughter in his heart, and adopted a serious demeanor, although the corners of his mouth still betrayed a slight smirk.

"Oh my god, dude, can you not joke like that in the future? Do you have any idea how much your expression just now scared the crap out of me, almost making my heart jump out of my throat?"

The previously tense Situ Qingfeng, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, finally heaved a sigh of relief. When he saw the smirk at the corner of Xiao Yi’s mouth, he knew all too well that Xiao Yi had been teasing him on purpose. His face involuntarily took on an aggrieved expression as he looked at Xiao Yi. He had thought his injury had taken a turn for the worse because of Xiao Yi’s very serious and grave look, and the worry had put him through a lot of agony.

After all, he was practically going insane. His injury, which he thought would heal in a couple of days, had been dragging on for almost a week now. If he didn’t fully recover soon, he felt like his bones would start to rust.

"Hmph, serves you right for overexerting yourself," Xiao Yi said, ignoring Situ Qingfeng’s aggrieved look and giving him a disdainful glance and an eye roll.

"I..."

Situ Qingfeng, seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, pointed at his own nose, wanting to say something, but ended up helplessly giving up. After spending these past few days together, he realized that his boss had changed; the current boss had undergone some significant changes, becoming... uh, what’s the word for it?

Situ Qingfeng’s mind churned for a moment, then it clicked, and he remembered a descriptive word: More womanish...

Yes, that’s it, more womanish...

He started to find Xiao Yi’s way of speaking unreasonable, often leaving him feeling frustrated. If he tried to reason or argue with him, the one who would end up suffering would definitely be Situ Qingfeng himself!

I won’t argue with a womanish person...

Situ Qingfeng muttered to himself in his heart.

"What are you thinking about, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Yi’s gaze suddenly fixed on Situ Qingfeng, a half-smiling expression on his face, "What’s got you so happy? Come on, share it with me."

"Nothing, nothing at all."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s smile, Situ Qingfeng involuntarily shivered, hurriedly waving his hands and smiling apologetically.

Joking aside, there was no way he could tell Xiao Yi what he was thinking. To call Xiao Yi womanish?

He knew all too well what the consequences would be if he said that out loud; he certainly wasn’t that foolish!

"Really, nothing?"

Xiao Yi continued to look at Situ Qingfeng with a half-smile on his face.

"Really, absolutely nothing. Anyway, uh, boss, the weather’s pretty good today, I think I’m going to head out first."

Situ Qingfeng, watching Xiao Yi’s expressions, grew even more uncomfortable inside. He suddenly and sadly realized that although Xiao Yi’s way of doing things had become somewhat exasperating and womanish, his gaze and his strength had become even more profound and mysterious...

Every time he faced Xiao Yi’s gaze, he felt fear, a fear that was even greater than when facing his own grandfather.
