Chapter 68: You’ve Stirred My Heart

“What can we do? Now we just have to wait.”
Qi Yihan asked him to fork out close to a billion yuan to compensate for the loss within a month. Otherwise, he would deduct it from his shares and not let him and his two sons go to the company. He had been very angry recently.
Luckily, he still had a son that Qi Yihan placed in an important position. As long as Lingxuan performed well in front of Qi Yihan, it would be easy for the father and son to team up against Qi Yihan.
First Madam wasn’t satisfied with what First Master said. “I’ve already been beaten up. I can’t just let it go like this. No matter what, we have to see Father.”
“If you know how, then just go see him.” First Master said angrily and walked out.
Seeing him leave, First Madam’s eyes flickered with resentment.
She knew what her husband was thinking. He wasn’t worried because he had a bastard to rely on.
Her son was clearly a hundred times more capable than the little bastard. Why did her husband give the little bastard everything when he came back?
She suddenly felt that the bastard must have something to do with the disappearance of those top-grade raw stones. She did not believe that a good top-grade raw stone would turn into stone.
At this thought, she quickly took out her phone and called her family. She wanted them to get rid of the little bastard as soon as possible so that she could be at ease.
…
At the hospital.
It was already past ten pm when Tang Li finished feeding the herbs with nutrients.
When she returned to the villa, Butler Zhang was still standing by the door to welcome her.
“Madam, welcome back.”
Tang Li nodded and asked, “Is Yihan asleep?”
After Qi Yihan left, she especially went to customize a sleeping bag. She made up her mind to sleep on the floor tonight.
Only on the floor would she stop treating him like a pillow. She didn’t want him to get mad with her again.
“Master went upstairs very early.” As for whether he was sleeping or not, Butler Zhang did not know.
Tang Li nodded. “Have a good night”
With that, she walked upstairs.
At that moment, the lights in the villa were all switched off, leaving only the wall lamps and the floor lamps on the stairs. Tang Li walked up the stairs to the bedroom door. Thinking that Qi Yihan should be asleep at this time, she slowed down and opened the door.
However, when she opened the door, she saw a man sitting on the sofa, working on his laptop.
The man was sitting with his back facing her. His back was tall and straight, and his entire body was bathed in the light. His powerful noble aura gave people a feeling of being someone in charge.
“Are you done looking? Come in if you’re done.”
The sudden calm voice stunned Tang Li. The next second, she realized that he was talking to her, so she pushed open the door and walked in.
Qi Yihan had already changed into his pajamas. When she walked over, he only glanced at her before returning his gaze to the laptop.
Tang Li opened her mouth, but she suddenly did not know what to say.
Without saying anything, she grabbed her pajamas and walked to the bathroom.
When she came out of the shower, Qi Yihan was still sitting there typing on his computer, looking very busy.
Tang Li went to take out her sleeping bag and placed it on the ground.
When Qi Yihan saw that, he didn’t say anything.
Tang Li purposely stared at him for a few seconds. When she found that he was really too busy to look at her, she slipped into her sleeping bag and closed her eyes to sleep.
Suddenly, Qi Yihan’s deep and hoarse voice was heard. “Your phone rang several times at nine.”
Tang Li subconsciously asked, “Who called?”
Qi Yihan looked at her with his pitch-black eyes. Instead of answering, he asked, “I found that you don’t like to bring your phone with you. Aren’t you worried that you might miss some important calls?”
“I’m not worried.” Tang Li subconsciously replied. Suddenly, she remembered that in this world, she had family and friends, so she quickly changed her tone. “I have to go to the laboratory every day. It’s not convenient for me to bring my phone with me.”
Qi Yihan seemed to have accepted her explanation. He nodded and continued staring at the laptop screen.
Tang Li thought for a moment before getting out of the sleeping bag to check her phone.
It was her second uncle again.
She threw a look at Qi Yihan and walked towards the balcony.
As soon as Tang Li made the call, Second Uncle picked up. “Li, your father sent a message back saying that he has something to attend to and will be away for a long trip. He probably won’t be back this year, but he brought you something. You should come back sometime to get it.”
Tang Li did not mind. After all, he was not her father. “Got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll have to hit the bed.”
Second Uncle quickly stopped her. “Li, wait.”
Second Uncle asked, “Li, how’s your father-in-law recently?”
Tang Li turned around and looked at Qi Yihan, who was still working on his laptop. “Almost the same as before.”
Second Uncle said that it was good, then his tone changed. He suddenly said, “I guess you still like that pretty boy. You ruined his career because you didn’t want him to be involved in all this. I’ve found him a place to live. When you…”
“Wait.” Tang Li frowned. “Second Uncle, who told you I still like that pretty boy? I don’t like him.”
Second Uncle was silent for a while before asking, “Didn’t you like him a lot? Why do you say you don’t like him?”
Tang Li resisted the urge to roll her eyes. How much did the Host like that pretty boy that even her relatives thought she could not survive without him?
She replied, seriously, “I’ll say it one last time. I don’t like Bai Qingyang. Don’t bring up his name ever again. Also… if you want something good to happen to the Tang family, you and First Uncle better not collude with the other members of the Qi family. Otherwise, you’ll end up miserable.”
Second Uncle was obviously a little unhappy to be educated by a junior. He said, “You better take care of yourself… It’s getting late. Go and rest early.”
With that, he hung up.
Tang Li looked at the phone and mumbled, “I’ve already reminded you. If you insist on courting death, don’t blame anyone.”
Then she put her phone aside and returned to the bedroom to her sleeping bag. She glanced at Qi Yihan, who was still working, and closed her eyes.
At the thought that Qi Yihan wouldn’t divorce her anymore and would always be with her, she felt happy and at ease. Soon, she drifted into a slumber.
Half an hour later, Qi Yihan stopped what he was doing and stared at the sleeping woman in a daze.
When he went on business this time, he found that whenever he was free, his mind would be occupied by her.
But he knew that she didn’t like him.
At this thought, his eyes darkened. He stood up and squatted down in front of her. He reached out and gently touched her face, muttering, “Since you’ve stirred my heart, don’t ever think about escaping because I won’t let you go.”
After a long while, he stood up, took out his phone, and walked to the balcony.
After the other party picked up the call, he said quietly, “Throw Bai Qingyang to Africa.”
