Chapter 23 Deep V Suspender Dress

Xu Li was looking at the text message sent by the man and her head was buzzing.

At that time, in the suburban manor, Zhou Dingyu, who was drunk, was leaning on the leather sofa, rubbing his eyebrows.

He just got home after a social event.

I was exhausted and was about to take a rest when a text message from the woman popped up.

Judging from the literal meaning, she was pleading for a friend of hers.

Originally, he didn't mind doing her a favor.

But at this moment, looking at the conspicuous red exclamation mark in the WeChat dialog box, Zhou Dingyu was almost laughing out of anger.

It was the first time that someone deleted his WeChat account.

It was still her.

Zhou Dingyu crossed his long legs, adjusted his posture, touched the tip of his tongue to his back teeth, lowered his head, typed a line of words and sent it via text message.

"Come here, I'll give you a chance to explain to me face to face."

His bony fingers paused for a moment, and he glanced at the dark night outside before sending another message , " I'll have someone pick you up."

Then he stood up, threw his phone on the sofa, loosened his tie around his neck, and walked towards the bathroom.

Xu Li went out quietly so as not to wake up Cai Cai who was already fast asleep, and also made sure that Xu Shiyan who was studying under the light in the room did not notice.

When I got downstairs, Zhao Zhe was already there.

As a special assistant, Zhao Zhe has become accustomed to being able to respond to any instructions from the boss.

"Miss Xu." Zhao Zhe, who was standing by the car door, greeted her and inadvertently glanced at what Xu Li was wearing.

There was a flash of surprise in his calm eyes, but he quickly lowered his head without showing too much emotion, and opened the back door for Xu Li.

Xu Li covered her collar and nodded , " Thank you, Assistant Zhao."

"Miss Xu, you're welcome."

Before going downstairs, Xu Li deliberately changed into a burgundy deep V halter dress, put on some light makeup, and sprayed the perfume that she usually didn't want to use.

She was the one who needed help, and she also knew what the other person was interested in about her.

For Cai Cai's future, she doesn't mind making sacrifices to please the other party.

But after Xu Li got in the car, she clenched her fingers tightly. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, especially when the car seemed to be going further and further away, as if heading towards the suburbs.

It was not the location where the Yulong Xiyuan was previously located.

Zhao Zhe, who was driving in front, seemed to sense her uneasiness and took the initiative to explain , " Don't be afraid, Miss Xu. Mr. Zhou's manor is built in the suburbs, a little off the beaten track."

manor?

It seems that Zhou Dingyu does have more than one private residence.

Xu Li looked at Zhao Zhe gratefully , " Thank you, Assistant Zhao."

Zhao Zhe smiled back and concentrated on driving.

Looking back at the years that he had followed his boss, except for the one who went abroad, Xu Li was the second woman to be taken to the manor by his boss.

It was still late at night.

He dared not neglect it.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the manor. After the security system at the gate automatically recognized the license plate, the heavy door automatically opened to both sides and the car drove in.

The manor was built on the mountain, with street lights on inside and the exterior outlines of the buildings looking like a castle in a movie.

Majestic and majestic.

Xu Li swallowed, a little surprised.

Because it rained a little during the day, the dark blue sky looked as if it had been washed clean, and the dazzling stars hung in the night sky. They did not seem to exist in reality, but more like beautiful illustrations in a fairy tale book.

When Xu Li breathed, the air felt particularly fresh and pleasant.

The car passed the driveway and circled for several miles before stopping in front of a villa with lights on.

"Ms. Xu, we're here. The door is open. Just go in."

Xu Li clenched her palms, took a few deep breaths, and got out of the car and walked in.

The sensor light in the entrance hall turned on.

There seems to be a faint scent of sandalwood incense in the air, which is mellow and high-end, not pungent.

But when I looked around, I couldn't find that figure.

Xu Li asked tentatively , " Mr. Zhou?"

No one answered.

She pursed her lips, changed into a pair of disposable slippers at the shoe cabinet, and walked inside.

Stop in the living room on the first floor.

"Mr. Zhou?"

The voice echoed in the empty living room, but still no one responded.

She turned her neck to find where Zhou Dingyu was, but was attracted by the decoration of the living room.

It’s no wonder she was surprised, but the contrast between the scene before her and what she had imagined was too great.

Judging from his aura, the space he is in should be colder.

At least it should be as noble and majestic as Yulong Xiyuan, which is detached from reality.

Looking at the entire living room, although most of the decoration colors are cold colors such as black, white and gray, there are small warm-colored decorations interspersed in the space.

For example, small orange and yellow ornaments, bright yellow small pendants, and red and blue pillows.

The whole space seems very human, warm and harmonious.

Especially the motionless, chubby orange cat doll on the sofa ...

Huh? That's not right.

With her many years of experience raising cats, Xu Li immediately realized that it was not a doll! It looked like a living thing!

Sure enough, just when suspicion sprouted in her heart, the "orange doll" suddenly moved!

He opened his eyes, meowed, and stretched lazily, his sapphire eyes staring straight at Xu Li.

Xu Li was mentally prepared and was not scared. Instead, she felt that the cat was inexplicably cute.

She has no resistance to cute cats.

Want to stick.

She waved her hand and whispered , " Come here, Mimi ... "

The cat seemed to understand and was not afraid at all. It licked its paws, jumped off the sofa, and walked towards Xu Li with an elegant cat step.

He circled around Xu Li twice and rubbed against the edge of Xu Li's skirt.

Xu Li curved her eyebrows, squatted down, and stroked the cat's fur. The cat then narrowed its eyes and retracted its neck comfortably.

Xu Li chuckled, letting down her guard for a moment and teasing the cat.

"Where is your master?" she asked.

The cat responded with an "ah-wool" and licked Xu Li's fingers. Xu Li's fingers shrank because of the itch and she giggled.

Just as she was petting the cat, the man who was about to go downstairs stopped and looked at her quietly.

The woman has curved eyebrows, bright eyes, and a healing and beautiful smile.

For a moment, Zhou Dingyu seemed to see a little girl with pigtails in her childhood who also smiled like this and said to herself:

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on! Just follow me wherever I go, and no one will bully you anymore, okay?"

Zhou Dingyu's eyes softened a little.

But this gentleness only lasted for two seconds. Soon he seemed to remember something and his eyes suddenly cooled.

"Congratulations." As soon as he finished speaking, the cat that was originally begging for caressing in Xu Li's hands suddenly stood up and ran towards the stairs.

The cat was agile and jumped to Zhou Dingyu's feet in a few leaps.

Looking up , " Meow ... "

Xu Li was so engrossed in playing with the cat that when she heard the man's voice, she stood up reflexively and looked towards the stairs.

Zhou Dingyu, who appeared at the stairs at some point, bent down and grabbed the cat into his arms.

She bent her slender fingers and pinched the back of its neck. Her tone was filled with a rare bit of tenderness and doting:

"You don't shy away from strangers."
