When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Li Chengyuan leaned down to kiss her lips, but Lin Zhixia turned her head away. The man stopped, his dark eyes fixed on her flustered appearance.

He made no further moves, got off her and sat on the edge of the bed, his tone tinged with coldness.

"If you want to break up, I agree."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia looked up at him in surprise: "Are you serious?"

"If you feel I can't give you the life you want, you have the right to choose the life you want. But before we break up, you need to save some money, stabilize your job, and at least be able to support yourself."

Judging from her current state, Li Chengyuan really suspected that she would starve to death in a couple of days.

After calmly finishing speaking, Li Chengyuan handed the milk and steamed buns back to her.

"Sorry, I startled you just now."

Lin Zhixia took the breakfast from Li Chengyuan's hand in a daze, her heart feeling as if it had been hit hard, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

Even now, Li Chengyuan is still thinking about her situation. People say that a breakup reveals a person's character, and Li Chengyuan is simply the best of the best.

Lin Zhixia grasped Li Chengyuan's hand and looked at him with a serious and sincere expression.

Don't overthink it, I didn't mean to break up with you.

Li Chengyuan's dark eyes trembled slightly as he asked, puzzled, "Didn't you used to ask for food every few days, and if I didn't give it to you, you'd starve to death? Why are you like this now...?"

Lin Zhixia's eye twitched violently upon hearing this.

She felt she had to make things clear to him, because the child might start to doubt his own abilities one day.

She patted his thigh and said earnestly.

"Think about it, we're in debt right now, and our jobs are unstable. What if I get pregnant at this point? Do you want our child to live in this damp basement like we do?"

Li Chengyuan was somewhat skeptical of her words: "You really think so?"

"Of course, although I was immature before and always thought that you would take care of everything if the sky fell, I have figured it out recently. All that high-end luxury is not suitable for me now."

"Even if I carry a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars, people will see that I'm just an ordinary person and will probably think that the bag is fake. I'd rather live a down-to-earth life."

Li Chengyuan's unfathomable eyes kept staring at her. Lin Zhixia didn't know if he believed her or not. She felt goosebumps all over from his gaze before he awkwardly looked away.

"Hurry up and eat breakfast. I ordered Lalamove; we're moving soon."

"Huh?" Lin Zhixia almost choked on her milk after taking a sip. She looked at Li Chengyuan in disbelief. "Didn't you say you couldn't find a place to rent?"

Looking at her clear, sparkling eyes, Li Chengyuan said casually, "You said it yourself, I didn't."

Lin Zhixia excitedly patted him hard on the shoulder, her face beaming with joy, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? We can finally move! We don't have to live in this basement anymore."

Seeing how happy she was, Li Chengyuan felt all the gloom in his heart vanish and regain his motivation. He spoke earnestly to Lin Zhixia.

"We will definitely have our own house in the future."

Without hesitation, Lin Zhixia replied, "Of course! With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to buy a house soon. I believe in you!"

Li Chengyuan was surprised that she trusted him so much now, and nodded heavily.

"Um."

Lin Zhixia was worried that Li Chengyuan wouldn't be able to handle everything by himself, so she called Li Jingchuan to see if they could go later.

She knew she had just received an advance on her salary, so asking for leave was definitely out of the question.

Fortunately, Li Jingchuan was quite easy to talk to.

"You know that Xiao Bao's condition has just stabilized, but when he gets fussy, the nannies are still at a loss."

Lin Zhixia nodded hurriedly: "I know, then how about this, let Sister Li report to me at any time, and if she finds that the young master is not right, I will come over immediately."

Li Chengyuan was packing things when he happened to see Lin Zhixia making a phone call. She seemed to be in a bit of a predicament.

He walked over to Lin Zhixia and said, "Tell your boss you don't need to ask for leave. You can go over there later. I can manage on my own here."

Li Chengyuan's sudden approach startled Lin Zhixia, who quickly covered her phone's earpiece and waved at him, signaling him to leave.

He gave Lin Zhixia a strange look, then walked past her to continue packing his luggage.

Lin Zhixia only spoke to Li Jingchuan after confirming that Li Chengyuan had gone far away.

"Excuse me, boss."

"Xiaolin, was that your boyfriend who just spoke?"

"Hmm." Lin Zhixia thought Li Jingchuan was angry, so she quickly explained, "I'm sorry, he didn't mean to interrupt you just now."

"May I ask what your boyfriend's name is?"

Li Jingchuan's sudden words made Lin Zhixia's face freeze instantly.

Finish the calf!

Could it be that Li Jingchuan recognized Li Chengyuan's voice?

She pursed her lips and glanced at Li Chengyuan, who was still squatting on the ground folding her clothes and packing them into his suitcase. In that instant, Lin Zhixia's guilt suddenly reached its peak.

She actually made this heir, who was in charge of the enormous Li Group, condescend to kneel on the ground and help her tidy up her clothes.

He was born into a high and mighty position, and others have always served him with utmost care. When did he ever lower himself to do such trivial household chores?

Lin Zhixia couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if her head was about to be ripped off.

She deliberately lowered her voice, trying her best not to let Li Chengyuan hear it.

"My boyfriend's name is Zhao Dachui, you can just call him Xiao Zhao."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that his voice sounds a lot like my missing brother. Maybe it's just that the voices are similar. Okay, you can contact Li Xiulan now."

Lin Zhixia quickly agreed, "Okay, okay."

She hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief, but she could still feel her heart pounding like a rollercoaster – it was incredibly thrilling.

Life is full of surprises; she really needs to keep her heart strong.

With this suspicion, Lin Zhixia reminded herself that she must not let Li Chengyuan meet with Li Jingchuan, and even more so, she must not let Li Chengyuan know that she agreed to work for the Li family.

Oh dear, what kind of mess have we made?

She shook her head helplessly and went to pour herself a glass of water, only to bump into Li Chengyuan's broad and firm chest.

Lin Zhixia was startled again, and she rubbed her aching forehead.

"It hurts so much..."

Why did you tell your boss my name is Zhao Dachui?

Li Chengyuan's sudden questioning made Lin Zhixia, who had just relaxed, tense up again.

She was still rubbing her forehead, her lips tightly pursed. That's why she said people shouldn't do bad things. She must have a lot of noble people in her birth chart, otherwise how could she be easily discovered when she does bad things?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhixia decided to strike first.

"Li Chengyuan, how could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

Li Chengyuan lowered his eyebrows, looked at her with a deep gaze, and asked again.

Why did you tell him my name is Zhao Dachui?
