A night without dreams. When Xu Nianyi woke up again, the faint morning light outside the window had penetrated through the violet curtains and reflected in this bedroom, and the furniture in the room was filled with a layer of charming lavender.
It should be daylight outside.
Xu Nian sat up straight on the bed with both hands, and carefully lifted the quilt to check his left knee.
After half an hour of cold compress by the Filipino maid last night, the bruises around the knees have subsided now, and the soreness is not as sore as before when lightly touched with fingertips.
As Yan Kuan said, after a night of rest, her legs have improved a lot. Except for the place where the gauze was wrapped, the skin and flesh were scratched there, so it shouldn't be all right for one night.
She moved her legs tentatively, but there was no pain in her knees.
Xu Nianyi smiled in relief, it seems that today she doesn't have to be crippled to be helped to walk.
Throwing off the quilt completely, Xu Nian took a look at the long-sleeved white ** pajamas she was wearing. This pajamas was also found for her by the Filipino maid last night. It is a white high-necked pajamas imitating the European court style. The cuffs are tied with delicate ruffles. The nightdress is longer than the knees. The quality of the clothes is very soft and it is very comfortable to wear .
She turned over and got out of bed and put on a cotton mop, and then walked into the bathroom in the hazy morning light outside the window. After solving her personal problems, she took a simple wash, and just as she pushed the door out of the bathroom, she heard a hasty knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xu Nianyi looked suspiciously at the door, leaning on the wall with one hand, slowly moved his left leg, and moved over step by step with as little movement as possible.
Someone knocked on the door so early, could it be Yan Kuan
Judging by the weather outside, it should be less than 6 o'clock now. Does Yan Kuan get up so early for breakfast at home
With doubts in his heart, Xu Nianyi had already walked to the door, unscrewed the hidden lock and slowly opened the door. After seeing the person standing outside his door, Xu Nianyi sighed, "Could it be that you let me go down?" Shall I have breakfast?"
The old housekeeper standing outside the door shook his head, and said anxiously: "No, Miss Xu, yes, it's the young master who is here!"
"What?!"
Xu Nianyi opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "You said Shao Jun is here? He, when did he come?" When did Shao Jun come over? How could he suddenly come over.
"Young master just came here not long ago, and there are several cars parked outside the door. Now the young master is receiving the young master downstairs. I'm afraid that the young master will come up to check the room later, so I will inform you first." The old housekeeper said anxiously He said, "Why don't you find a place to hide first? The young master lied for you. If the young master finds out that you are hiding here, I'm afraid..."
The housekeeper couldn't explain clearly, he looked at Xu Nianyi hesitantly.
As soon as Xu Nian understood what the housekeeper meant, the astonished expression on his face faded, and he regained his composure: "You're right, then I'll find a place to hide first. Is there any hiding place on the second floor?"
"If Miss Xu is not afraid of being wronged, you can hide in the young master's cloakroom first." The housekeeper raised his hand and pointed to the third room on the right.
Xu Nianyi didn't say a word, just walked over in small steps.
The old housekeeper quickly followed and opened the door of the cloakroom.
After the wooden door was pushed open, the spotlights in the room turned on.
A spacious and bright cloakroom with neatly arranged items immediately appeared in front of Xu Nianyi.
Just like Yan Kuan himself, this cloakroom is clean and transparent, most of the materials are transparent glass, even the tie drawers are placed under the transparent glass showcase.
From tie clips to leadership watches, all the clothes and accessories are neatly placed under the glass showcase. The bright spotlights shine on the transparent glass, and the reflections, as well as the accessories inside, are shining brightly.
On the left side is a whole row of wooden wardrobes, in which there are several sets of exquisite suits, and on the other wall is a shoe rack, on which all kinds of shoes are placed neatly.
At the far end of the room is a glass display case with several men's briefcases and wallets.
The room was cleaned spotlessly, but although it was bright and clean, it seemed a bit too cold.
The old butler walked to the innermost wardrobe, opened the door and sorted out the things inside, then turned to Xu Nian, "Miss Xu, why don't you hide in the wardrobe for a while?"
Xu Nianyi couldn't help laughing, and looked helplessly at the white-haired old man in front of him, "Housekeeper, I'm a guest, not a thief who came in. It's fine to hide in this room, kneeling in the closet is a bit outrageous."
"But, what if the young master sends someone over to search later..." The butler gave Xu Nian an embarrassed look.
"He is my child's father, and he is not a bandit. There is no need to hide from him like a bandit. If he is discovered, I will take all the responsibility on myself, and the implementation is the same, Said I asked Yan Kuan to tell lies."
"Then I'll go first." The butler bowed slightly and exited the cloakroom.
After the old butler left, the cloakroom immediately became quiet.
As soon as Xu Nian walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, he looked at himself in white pajamas with disheveled hair, saw the bruises on his legs and his gauze-wrapped knees, and couldn't help but wryly smiled.
What's wrong with me, why am I in such a mess.
She remembered that when she was the female president of the African branch, she was resolute and capable, and she was always fearless. Never get yourself covered in scars.
Even if she needs to take care of Yifeng at that time, she can still separate public affairs from private affairs.
But at that time, she was able to go to work only because Li Tianyu was helping her. At that time, brother Li had been living with her under the same roof, and he did his best to help him take care of Yifeng every day. In order to be able to go home freely, he didn't even open a company, but opened a small auto repair shop. But he doesn't manage much, and the focus of every day is on Yifeng and her.
She was really used to being taken care of by Brother Li at that time, so she didn't think it was a big deal.
But now after returning to China, Brother Li left to avoid suspicion.
No one helped to take care of the child, so she clearly realized how hard it is to take care of the child alone, and it is a waste of energy! Even though she has a nanny to help her, her day is almost revolved around Yifeng, almost all the time is given to Yifeng, and she has no time to manage other things.
There is a position for her in Shengdi Company, but it is just a false position. She didn't have a few days to work at all.
She finally understood how much energy Li Tianyu put in to take care of their mother and child. He could even give up his career, not start a company, and not have too many social activities. He was willing to go home and hang around Yifeng every day.
Such a man who is willing to sacrifice himself and devote all his time and energy to his family may not be found in the whole society.
But now without Li Tianyu's help, she seemed a little exhausted.
I feel that I am very different from her high-spirited look before...

Yan Kuan did not sit on the sofa, but stood obediently beside the single sofa, waiting for orders.
"Are you still planning to sing a big show with me?"
Sitting on the single sofa, Shao Jun looked down at the time on his watch, and raised his eyebrows impatiently, "There are ten minutes to 6 o'clock. I don't want to attract some media attention when there are many people." I'm asking you again, have you seen Nian Yi yesterday?"
"Brother, I did pass by the beach yesterday, but I really sent my friend to the hotel." Yan Kuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes did not meet Shao Jun's scrutiny, his handsome face was full of respect, "Brother, is there no whereabouts of my sister-in-law? How about I also send someone to help..."
"I heard what you said once last night, and I'm not interested in hearing it a second time." Shao Jun raised his hand to block what Yan Kuan was going to say later.
"But elder brother and sister-in-law have never been to my place." When Yan Kuan said this, he still had that modest expression, speaking seriously and cautiously, it was clearly a lie, but his gentle tone did not change a bit.
"Hmph." Sitting on the sofa, Shao Jun sneered, and the corner of his mouth twitched coldly.
"Brother..." Yan Kuan looked up at Shao Jun, "I understand that brother is anxious."
"Really? Since you understand so well, let me search the house. If I don't find Nian Yi, I will apologize to you on the spot. What do you think?" Shao Jun glanced at Yan Kuan coldly, his white eyes There was no usual elegance and gentleness on his face.
"Brother, isn't this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Shao Jun tilted his head, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised to one side, "Do you have a ghost in your heart?"
"How could it be?" Yan Kuanqian smiled, "If Brother wants to send someone to search, then do so."
"Don't worry, if I don't find anyone, I will definitely apologize to you." Shao Jun looked at his younger brother with cold eyes, raised his right hand slightly, and gave an instruction to Shen Feng who was standing at the door.
Shen Feng understood immediately, and immediately led the two of them into the house, started to check from the study on the first floor, checked all the rooms on the first floor, and then unceremoniously went straight to the stairs, planning to check the second floor as well .
In the cloakroom on the second floor, Xu Nianyi felt extremely heavy when he heard the chaotic footsteps made by people trampling on the wooden stairs.
It wasn't that the sound insulation of the walls on the second floor was not good, but that she was worried about the situation downstairs, so she opened the door to listen to the conversation downstairs and see how things were going.
She thought that maybe Shao Jun brought someone here this morning just to inquire, because he was anxious to find her and went to the doctor in a hurry to ask Yan Kuan.
But judging from what Shao Jun said just now, Shao Jun didn't come to ask, but came to take someone!
He must have known that she was hiding at Yan Kuan's place, that's why he brought people over so confidently, and dared to check rooms one by one.
Even if she hid in the closet and she managed to escape without being searched by the searchers, since Yan Kuan was suspected, he was being targeted by Shao Jun. If no one can be found, Shao Jun may not give up. He will arrange for people to stand outside Yan Kuan's house.
Can she hide in Yan Kuan's house for a lifetime? She still has Yifeng to take care of. There must be time for her to leave Yan Kuan's house! Is she going to fly out of Yan Kuan's house wearing an invisibility cloak
This is obviously impossible.
And the longer she hides at Yan Kuan's house, the higher Shao Jun's anger will be.
Now that the hiding place has been exposed, it is better to go out and defend Yan Kuan by himself than to be waited by Shao Jun, so as to save Yan Kuan into this muddy water.
