Jiang Yuan said too much, but her words reassure An Chuxia . However, she dares not intervene . She finally looks up at Basa’s red eyes and smirks . “I wish you success, Han . Ma, I’m retiring to your writing room . ”
“Go . Mommy will make you a cup of coffee . ” She smiles softly at Chuxia as she watches her ascend to the writing room . As soon as she leaves, Jiang Yuan’s expression changes . Rigidly, she says, “Steward Han, prepare this lady’s room, one that’s not inconvenient . Any room will do since she won’t be staying long . ”
Steward Han gauges the charged atmosphere . He walks to the door to collect Basa Li’s belongings and take it up the stairs . If his opinion is solicited, he’d definitely select An Chuxia as the young mistress because he doesn’t see Basa Li as a suitable companion . Alas, he’s a man whose opinions can’t be articulated . He has to bow to work .
“Ma, apologize to her . ” Han Qilu follows Jiang Yuan to the kitchen as she brews coffee . Their partnership is linked to Han Group’s reputation and treating Basa Li badly is something he can’t do . But as long as the contract is being negotiated, he can stand treating her nicely until she leaves .
Basa Li’s eyes flash with a glimmer of joy . Sidling up to Han Qilu, she extends her hand and rests it on Jiang Yuan . “I know we don’t have a relationship, auntie . You may not know me well, but slowly… . ”
“What did you say?” Jiang Yuan shoves Basa Li’s hand away and walks to the kitchen . She doesn’t want to take advantage of the maids, especially when she doesn’t want to deal with Basa Li .
Han Qilu didn’t expect this outcome . He glances toward the writing room . Han Qilu reaches out for Basa Li’s hand and urges her to go upstairs . “I’ll take you to my room . My mother has a childish temper, but you’ll get used to it . ”
Basa Li immediately nods . “I don’t mind . How can I be angry with auntie? Anyway, my mother, who’s in Japan, will always love me . ”
He’s indifferent to her words . Although he’s holding Basa Li’s hand, his thoughts are on An Chuxia and her apathetic disposition . Is she really that indifferent to Basa Li?
As they reach the second floor, he looks at her with cold eyes . They stand between two doors . He opens the door to his room unwillingly and shows it to Basa Li . “This is my room . ”
Suddenly, his thoughts are filled with memories of the day An Chuxia’s nightgown ripped, and his towel accidentally came undone . Both of them lay in that precarious position . His vision couldn’t help but become blurry . He knows she saw [it] . He grins . Then, he abruptly stops daydreaming the moment Basa Li speaks .
“Whose room is this? I want this room!” Han Qilu quickly walks past Basa Li as she attempts to enter An Chuxia’s room . Stoically, he abruptly snatches her hand from the doorknob . He unceremoniously shuts the door close .
“What’s wrong?” Feeling wronged, she stares at poor Han Qilu .
