The next day, Tang Li deliberately went down to eat early.
As expected, Qi Yihan was eating quietly at the dining table.
The Qi family was a noble family, and Qi Yihan had received elite education from a young age, so his table manners were quite good.
He ate very quietly. Only the acting butler stood beside him while the other servants stood outside the door.
When Tang Li came down the stairs, the acting butler was shocked. Qi Yihan, on the other hand, had the cold and emotionless face of a domineering executive. He merely gave her a cold glance before continuing his meal.
The butler peeked at Qi Yihan's facial expression and respectfully asked Tang Li, "Madam, good morning. Would you like to eat now or later?"
Tang Li always woke up one and a half hours later than Qi Yihan. They did not expect her to wake up so early today, so her breakfast was not ready yet.
Tang Li did not answer him immediately. Instead, she sat opposite Qi Yihan and said, "Now."
"Alright, Madam, please wait a moment. I'll get the servants to inform the kitchen immediately."
"I want you to inform them."
"…"
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him with a smile on her lips. "What, you don't understand?"
The butler was stunned and quickly said, "I do, Madam."
Then he left.
Once the butler left, Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan with her chin in her hand.
The man opposite her looked even more handsome up close. The contours of his perfect face were cold and unapproachable. He had thick black eyebrows, sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and moderate lips. Because he did not like to smile, the wrinkles on his lips were tight, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
The man didn't even bother to look at her from the corner of his eyes. He obviously treated her like air.
Tang Li thought about how to ease her relationship with The Executive for the whole night, and as far as her memory of the story went, The Executive was a lover of black coffee, and nine out of ten people who were addicted to black coffee had stomach problems.
Hence, she decided to start by caring about his stomach. "Qi Yihan, is your stomach bad? If it's bad, you should drink less coffee."
Qi Yihan elegantly finished the food in his mouth. His cold eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot, and his voice was devoid of warmth. "Tang Li, I don't have time to act with you. I don't care what you want to do, but don't go too far. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
After that, he stood up and walked toward the door without looking back.
Tang Li clicked her tongue as she watched him leave.
"It seems like I have a long way to go to change The Executive's opinion of me."
…
Tang Li did not plan to go out today either.
This caused the servants in the villa to secretly discuss among themselves.
"Why do you think Madam hasn't left the house for the past two days? I have a feeling that something terrible is about to happen if she doesn't go out."
"Could it be that something happened to the Tang Family again and she needs Young Master's help, so she hasn't been out for two days?"
"That must be it. The last time she didn't go out for a day was to ask Young Master to give the Tang Family a big project."
"Master is so unlucky to have married her. If it weren't for his dad, Young Master wouldn't even look at her."
"Tonight, she and Master will return to the Qi Mansion, but his father is currently hospitalized. I bet when she goes back, she won't be on Master's side, and something bad will definitely happen then."
"Young Master is so unlucky to have married her."
The servants left after sighing.
Tang Li didn't expect to hear these words just by walking around the villa. She glanced at the Butler who was following behind her. On the surface, he said he was accompanying her, but in reality, he was wary of her making trouble. Thus, Tang Li had an idea of acting in front of Qi Yihan.
"Butler Zhang."
"Madam, what can I do for you?" Butler Zhang tensed up as he hurriedly asked.
He wasn't Butler Yang and didn't have much experience dealing with Madam. He was afraid that he would do something that would make Master angry.
Tang Li glanced at Butler Zhang, who had a nervous expression on his face. She didn't care and said, "Get someone to prepare a small gift for everyone in the Qi Mansion. I'll bring it over tonight."
She planned to be polite to the people in the Qi Mansion before resorting to force.
When the butler heard this, his heart trembled. He subconsciously felt that Madam was up to no good again.
He wanted to call Butler Yang for help.
Tang Li seemed to have seen through his thoughts, but she did not mind. She waved at him and said, "Go and get ready."
"Yes."
Butler Zhang quickly left.
For the entire day, Tang Li was busy dealing with the Qi family. Unknowingly, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Butler Zhang entered and reminded her, "Madam, you should set out for the Qi Mansion."
Tang Li was wearing a bright yellow cheongsam with peonies on it. Worn by Tang Li, the cheongsam looked elegant and sexy. Coupled with her gorgeous beauty, she was charming but not bewitching. She was so beautiful that even Butler Zhang could not help but take a few more glances at her.
When she walked out of the house, the car was already waiting outside the villa. Before getting into the car, Tang Li asked, "Where is the present I asked you to prepare?"
Butler Zhang quickly pointed to a car behind. "It's all in that car."
Satisfied, Tang Li got into the car.
Qi Yihan's villa was about an hour away from the Qi Mansion. When Tang Li arrived, Qi Yihan was not there yet.
She asked the chauffeur to park the car outside the courtyard of the Qi Mansion and wait.
After waiting for nearly 40 minutes, Qi Yihan's car finally arrived.
A few cars drove into the house.
In the mansion.
Grandpa and seniors of the family all sat there with cold faces.
Holding her grandson in her arms, Lady Wang said in a sarcastic tone, "I wonder how long we'll have to wait for Yihan today. He's so different after taking over the company. He's so busy every day that it's hard for him to even come back for a meal."
"That depends on the person. When Second Master was the general manager of the company, he didn't make everyone wait so long."
"That's why Yihan replaced Second Master's position. My guess is that Second Master got off work too early."
"That's right. Third Master and Junqi are so busy in the company that they're like bees. They're working for someone who barely knows anything. Even if they were being shouted at, they wouldn't dare to shout back."
Other than the seniors, the juniors were also whispering.
When the sound of "Forth Master, Fourth Madam, you're back" came from outside the door, everyone stopped and looked towards the door.
