326 Mama Chicken (1/2)
He wanted to curse himself for his bad timing!
Before he could open his mouth to say something, the Housekeeper rushed in with three elderly maids behind her all with fixated beaming secretive smiles. They bowed to Li Yuan who raised a brow in question.
The Housekeeper placed the tray in her hand in front of Lei Xinyi and the other followed suit who looked at her confused with water from her glass still in her mouth.
The Housekeeper smiled fondly at her, Lei Xinyi had to blink several times to make sure she was seeing right. Did the cranky old lady just smile at her? It sure looks like out of a horror movie!
”Young Master Li, these... tonics will help strengthen Madam Lei's body.” Lei Xinyi broke out in a fit of coughs choking on the water.
Lei Xinyi turned redder than she was, if that was possible. Every damn instinct was telling her now was the time to bite her tongue and die of embarrassment. It was utter humiliation, Did she... Did she really say that?! That too in front of everyone!
The terror etched on her face was visible to every person in the room. How did they even come to this conclusion?!
Tonics? And strengthening her body?!
Were they assuming that they had s*x and… and… GOD! She had no sense of modesty or privacy left! Arghh… Her life was officially ruined!
Her eyes went down to her see attire and then her haggard state in the clock glass. She scrunched her eyes in embarrassment. Now Li Yuan will think she was some scheming desperate wh*re who was making everyone think that they had s*x!
Just kill her already!
Li Yuan sat there with a blank look on his face too astounded to react. With her shocked expression, she finally pushed past the Housekeeper and ran out of the dining room.
The Housekeeper looked stunned for a moment then dashed past her, ”Don't need to be shy, Madam Lei! The tonic is a herbal recipe in the Li s Household for ages. It will be helpful in…” Her voice dulled as she disappeared behind the door.
He sighed in irritation and rubbed his temples for the headache that was ragging.
By the way, she was acting, he knew she was trying to avoid him but he had just finished as her time was cut where he taught her so he arrived for the breakfast early.
She must have miscalculated the time and had hurried to breakfast and then sleep again or get out of his sight.
In a hurry to eat and disappear, she would have come down hastily without leisurely bathing or changing to have breakfast but Li Qiang came then and stopped her.
The servants who would have noticed the occurrence would have assumed that it was because she was 'tired' that she didn't attend the gym today and pieced it all together.
He literally had no patience with all this drama right now.
He gritted his teeth. The woman sure had ways to mess up with his head! With a strangled sigh he decided he would let her deal with it all.
The woman was too vain for her own good. If she had enough time to conjure evidence about his non-existence impotency. She better deal with this cr*p herself! If a day before she had asked him to get a job, he would have freaked out but if she asked. Now he would even be her pick and drop service!
He realized she was hazardously risky when she was left alone with her brain, last time he did, she made an escape plan, and now his impotency…
As he was thinking about hiring her back in his office, where she did nothing but waste staple pins and made horrible drawings on rejected proposals, his brother cleared his throat awkwardly to get his attention.
”So… Big Brother, I will come maybe later for the… condo?” His brother asked hesitantly.
