Chapter 200
Li Han saw off Ling Junze and went back to the bedroom. It was almost midnight. He gently pushed the door open. On the big soft bed, the woman was sleeping soundly on one side. He walked over quietly, his footsteps on the ground were very light, afraid of disturbing the person in her dreams.
He walked up to her and unexpectedly smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
The man's handsome brows lowered a little, and he leaned over to sniff a few times. The smell was indeed from her body.
Did she drink at dinner tonight?
It must be that she couldn't resist her colleagues' enthusiasm, so it was not her fault.
Li Han looked down at the pale and red face on the pillow. He didn't know if it was because the room was too hot or because of the alcohol, her face blushed, which looked seductive.
He raised his hand to tuck her in and straightened up. Just as he was about to take a shower, the sleeping woman behind him suddenly cursed in a low voice, "Bastard."
Li Han stopped abruptly and turned around again with confusion, "What?"
"Bastard." She was still sleeping and stammered, "Big bastard Li Han..."
The face of the man who was named was a little dark. It was said that one would dream at night what they thought in the day. It seemed that she must have scolded him a lot in her heart during the day. Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and pinched her cheek helplessly. He wanted to punish her, but he didn't use much force, "I take good care of you, but you scold me a bastard. Are you ungrateful?" He knew that when she saw him be with Jiang Chujing, she was definitely unhappy. Recently, there was really nothing that made her happy, so he was willing to be scolded by her. He could tolerate it as long as she didn't feel uncomfortable.
Under the soft wall lamp in the bedroom, the man's eyes were filled with tenderness that no one else could see. He leaned down again, and kissed her smooth forehead with his thin lips, "As long as you don't leave me, everything else will be up to you."

It was the next morning when Shu Tian woke up. She rarely took a break from work. She took two days off before the new year. Thinking that the Spring Festival couplets she bought last time had not been posted, she chose to post them today.
She felt that she should decorate the house, after all, it was the Spring Festival.
She got up from the bed, and it was empty beside her. Li Han got up early, finished his workout, and then went to the company. She seemed to have heard some noise.
Looking at the empty side, she felt disappointed. He had left again before they could say a word since they came back last night.
After a while, Shu Tian calmed down and got out of bed to wash up. She went to the cloakroom to change into a comfortable fluffy sweater and pants of the same style. Today, she probably had to climb up high. It was better to wear more comfortable clothes.
When she went downstairs, Nanny Li had already prepared breakfast for her. Knowing that Shu Tian liked to eat toast, Nanny Li deliberately learned how to use the toaster. She was very considerate. Roasted bread with a spoonful of homemade blueberry jam was very appetizing.
Jiang Chujing also wanted to eat it, but the doctor told her not to eat too much sweetness, so she could only drink the unappetizing porridge in the bowl.
She scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and took the initiative to talk, "Miss Shu, I really envy you for being able to eat what you want to eat. Unlike me, I can only eat porridge. There is no fun in life at all."
Shu Tian didn't expect Jiang Chujing to take the initiative to talk to her, and she didn't know why Jiang Chujing said this. Did Jiang Chujing pretend to be pitiful or was she seeking sympathy?
Shu Tian was not in the mood to think about it, and she just said coldly, "I believe that people like Miss Jiang will find a lot of fun for themselves, not just in eating."
After that, she smiled at Jiang Chujing. She looked nothing unusual, although her words sounded somewhat harsh.
Jiang Chujing was speechless but could not say anything more. She could only let it go.
After breakfast, Shu Tian and Nanny Li pulled out the triangular ladder from the warehouse together. She picked a pair of big Spring Festival couplets and hung them up. Nanny Li held the ladder under her and kept telling her to be careful.
The red Spring Festival couplets were pasted to the door. The lanterns were hung high on both sides, and the remaining lantern was hung on a tree in the front yard. The villa looked deserted before looked lively now.
"Miss Shu, you have good taste. The Spring Festival couplets and lanterns are beautiful!" Nanny Li also smiled brightly. She used to post these things at home, so she was familiar with them. Shu Tian smiled sheepishly, "I bought them from the market. They aren't something rare."
"Even so, Miss Shu is so thoughtful. Sir must be very happy to see these when he comes back!" Nanny Li had gotten along with Li Han for a period of time and she had known about his temper. Although Mr. Li looked cold, he was actually very kind.
This sentence happened to be heard by Jiang Chujing, who had just walked over. She frowned and secretly glared at Nanny Li. This old woman was so talkative as a servant. When she became Mrs. Li in the future, Nanny Li would be the first one to get fired!
Although Jiang Chujing cursed in her heart, she looked kind on the surface. She glanced at what they had done and said perfunctorily, "Looks good."
After that, she changed the subject, "But... Han doesn't like these messy things at home. Miss Shu, you'd better not continue to do it. Don't waste your time."
She thought Shu Tian had done this on her own, but she didn't know that Shu Yi had already told Li Han.
At this moment, Shu Tian's face darkened when she heard Jiang Chujing's seemingly gentle but actually weird tone. She did not directly say that she had asked for Li Han's permission, but deliberately said, "It's okay. If he doesn't like them, I will remove them. Miss Jiang doesn't have to worry about me."
She directly isolated Jiang Chujing by saying so. Whether Li Han would like the decoration or not, it was Shu Tian and Li Han's business. And Jiang Chujing, an outsider, didn't have the right to interfere in it. How could Jiang Chujing not understand it?
She immediately retorted, "Miss Shu, are you hostile to me? I'm just afraid that you would waste energy but get nothing. There is no other meaning."
"Really?" Shu Tian glanced at Jiang Chujing from the corner of her eye, and there was a chill in her eyes, "Thank you, I appreciate it."
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Jiang Chujing and continued to work on her own business. From time to time, she asked Nanny Li for advice and completely left Jiang Chujing aside. She treated Jiang Chujing as an invisible person.
Jiang Chujing was so angry that she went inside to pick up her phone and wanted to call Li Han. She hesitated whether to call him or not. She struggled for a long time and finally gave up.
Now Li Han was obsessed with Shu Tian, so he might not speak up for her.
Just as she was thinking about it, the phone in her hand vibrated. She thought it was Li Han. She looked down in surprise and found that it was Li Wei.
The joy on her face disappeared in an instant. Jiang Chujing looked left and right, took her cell phone into her room, and slowly picked it up, "Hello, Li Wei?" She pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "You finally remember to call me."
On the other end of the phone, the man paused and exhaled slightly, as if he was glad that he didn't disturb her. After deliberating, he asked cautiously, "Are you fine?"
Jiang Chujing just wanted to make use of Li Wei. But when she heard him ask her this question, her heart inevitably trembled. Thinking of her bad days, she deliberately pinched her throat and said, "I don't know if I am fine or not, but occasionally I miss the days in the North Villas. I'm like an extra person here, not as good as when..."
Speaking of this, she paused for two seconds and gritted her teeth to say the rest, "When we were in the North Villas, and you wouldn't make things difficult for me."
