While Qian Tao was deep in thought, Ji Xuan walked slowly toward him and said in a sweet voice, “Brother Li, let me help you.”

Qian Tao did not think it was unusual. It seemed like Ji Xuan’s habit to button his shirt and wear his tie for him.

Why did she feel as if she was unnecessary?

The minute she looked away, Li Hengzhi caught Ji Xuan’s hand. “That won’t be necessary. Someone else will help me with the buttons in the future.”

Qian Tao looked toward the balcony and thought silently, ‘Not me, let it not be me…”

She did not turn around and was unsure of Ji Xuan’s expression but through her voice, she could feel she had been hurt and was about to cry. “Umm…I’ll go out first, then.”

Ji Xuan ran out of the room and the room resumed its quietness. Qian Tao was still looking at the scenery with her back facing Li Hengzhi.

Suddenly, she felt pressure on her head.

Li Hengzhi’s palm was on her hair and he turned her around. “You’ll help me.”

She did not manage to escape this, so she knelt down on the bed and started to button his shirt from the top. Although she did not say anything, her heart was complaining, ‘what kind of tone was that?”

It was as if he was giving her orders.

She was not Ji Xuan, his maid!

His body ratio was exceptionally perfect. Qian Tao could only look at the buttons and dared not look anywhere else. She quickly buttoned his whole shirt, but that was not all as he passed his necktie to her.

Holding the tie in her hands, she stopped for a while. This time, she stood up and moved closer toward him, then placed the tie around his neck.

She was a little awkward, so she started talking. “Ji Xuan seems to like you.”

She felt that since he allowed her to call him “Brother Li”, she must have been by his side for quite some time and their relationship must be unusual. 

“Are you jealous?”

“…Mr. Li, although you are good looking, it doesn’t mean that everyone will like you. Why should I be jealous? It was only a conversational topic.”

“If you do not feel comfortable, I’ll let her go.”

Qian Tao was rendered speechless. Didn’t he understand what she had just said? “There’s no need for that. I’m fine!”

While chatting, Qian Tao’s hands stopped around his neck. With an anxious look, she asked, “Mr. Li, how do I knot a tie?”

Li Hengzhi kept quiet for a few seconds. “Never mind, I’ll do it myself.”

She did not know how to knot a tie! Did it mean that she had never once knotted a tie for Xiao Yuanhang or any other men?

When he thought about this, he felt a baffling comfort.

Qian Tao was indeed overjoyed when she was set free. She put the tie down and turned around. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she was pulled back.

Her long hair had been hooked onto his button and she was pulled back towards him. “Ah!” she cried out as she fell backwards.

Li Hengzhi widened his eyes and opened his arms to catch her.

Qian Tao fell into his embrace.

Qian Tao lowered her head and saw his hands on her chest. She started to glare at him but when she moved, her hair was pulled once more and she screamed in pain, “Ouch, ouch!”

“Don’t move!”

With difficulty, her hair was untangled. She sat on the bed and rubbed her head. Li Hengzhi looked at her without speaking. He quickly knotted his tie, then teased her, “How can I ask you to knot a tie for me next time?”

“Like I want to…” she mumbled.

Li Hengzhi narrowed his eyes. Although he didn’t hear what she said, he was prepared not to question further.

“Have a good rest. I’m going out for a while.”
