Apologize?
Hmph, Li Nana was scheming against him. Li Beichen believed that she had called to tune in on the good show.
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he picked up the call only to hear a sweet voice came from the other end.
"Second Brother, the greeting gift I've prepared for you and Sister-in-law is pretty good, right?"
"I spent a fortune on that bottle of vodka. My heart aches thinking of it."
"Nana, are you more anxious than Old Master for me to have a child?" Li Beichen's gaze subconsciously glanced towards the bathroom.
"No, it's just that life is short. If you're cold in that aspect, Second Brother, you can't deprive my sister-in-law right? Besides that, you cannot deprive the future kids of our family."
Li Beichen was helpless. He reached out to rub his glabella and said, "Nana, what do you want me to say about you? Not only did you master that stuff, but you're also not even embarrassed while saying it."
"Then I'll take it that Second Brother is praising me." Li Nana played with a tuft of hair by her ear and rolled around on the bed. "Second Brother, when are you bringing Sister-in-law back to the old residence for me to meet?"
"Soon."
They chatted for a while more before hanging up.
The sound of running water in the bathroom had already stopped. The huge villa was quiet for a moment. It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop on the ground. However, Shi Yuxuan still had not come out.
As Li Beichen flipped through the newspaper, he felt even more irritated, and the rustling sound of the paper was especially loud. He even felt that it was very noisy, so noisy that he could not calm down at all. He simply threw it aside and stopped reading.

He glanced at his watch coldly. It was two in the afternoon.
Because of this woman, not only did he abandon the company's matters, but he also did not get to eat until now. She was simply a scourge.
"Shi Yuxuan?" Li Beichen called her unhappily but she did not respond.
"Shi Yuxuan?"
This woman crossed Li Beichen's bottom line again and again.
Everyone in the Yuzun Group knew that the powerful president never repeated his words. But just now, Li Beichen had shouted twice.
Did she get too comfortable in the bath and forget where she was?
Li Beichen had always been a clean freak to the point that he was notorious for it.
It was already her limit to let her take a shower in the bathroom. Not only did she not know her limits, she was even enjoying it?
With a dark face, Li Beichen loosened his collar, took off his suit jacket that cost hundreds of thousands, and threw it on the sofa. With an imposing aura, he strode with his long legs and headed to the second floor.
"Bang!" The bathroom was a mess. There was water everywhere but there was no one.
Where did that woman go?
———
Shi Yuxuan was wrapped in a towel. The cold water slid down her skin and dripped onto the simple yet luxurious floor. She tiptoed and carefully opened the wardrobe in Li Beichen's room.
Her expression changed.
Oh God, they were all suits.
Was Li Beichen a man?
Shi Yuxuan had thought that he would more or less have needs in that aspect. It would be understandable if he had kept a mistress in his house, but he did not even have any woman's clothes at all.
She could only wear his clothes now.
Removing the towel, Yuxuan wrapped it around her body and put on his white shirt. When the shirt of the 1.84-meter-tall man was worn on her body, it covered the top part of her body that was partly hidden and partly visible.
After she buttoned the last button on the shirt, she put on a suit jacket.
However, after putting it on, she felt that there was a wind reaching her on the lower part of her body.
Just as she was looking for her pants, the doorknob turned with an audible click.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
