Chapter 1195 It’s Not Easy to Be a White Moonlight
Going to visit a benefactor and asking them to send a driver to pick her up seemed unreasonable, but Mu He refused to tell her the address and just asked her to wait patiently.
Shi Li had no choice but to run to the nearby fruit store as quickly as possible and pick out the largest fruit basket.
It would be very rude for her to come empty-handed again.
In less than half an hour, the car that Mu He often rode in arrived at the company's gate. The driver was Mu He's driver and bodyguard.
When he saw Shi Li carrying such a large fruit basket, he immediately reached out to take it and opened the back door for her.
"Thank you." Shi Li thanked him and got into the car.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Xiangxue who had just returned from the hospital.
Watching the familiar black car gradually driving away from his sight, Zhou Xiangxue's brows furrowed more and more, and he took out his phone and called the Human Resources Department.
"Why did Shili ask for leave?"
"Uh... he said it was a personal matter that needed to be dealt with." The Human Resources Department was startled by Zhou Xiangxue's serious tone and answered stutteringly.
Zhou Xiangxue took a deep breath, his tone becoming colder, "If Shi Li asks for leave again in the future, she must report directly to me."
The HR department had never heard of a designer asking for leave having to be reported to their superiors, but since the manager had already said so, they, the workers, could only nod and do as instructed.
When the car stopped, Shi Li finally understood what it meant to have one's imagination limited by poverty.
I used to think that if you bought a two-story villa and hired a few nannies like the original owner's parents, you would be considered rich.
Now that I see where Mu He lives, I truly feel what the gap is.
The building in front of us is more like a Chinese manor than a villa.
Two finely trimmed green shades lead the way, and the red brick and green tile Chinese-style pavilions are full of low-key connotations. Calling it a palace may be an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration to compare it to the private residence of ancient powerful officials.
Shi Li did not move forward. She stood there looking at the gate and could not help but whispered, "Living in a place like this, I wonder if I will get lost."
Her voice was very soft, but the driver who was carrying the fruit basket for her still heard it. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he had a hard time holding back from laughing out loud.
After calming down, the driver said calmly, "Ms. Shi, come in..."
His voice was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Mu He must have seen the car parked outside through the surveillance camera, so he came out to greet it in person.
The warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the shade of the trees, and Shi Li's eyes lit up.
To be more precise, this was only her third time meeting Mu He. The first two times when they were outside, Mu He wore a light-colored suit, which looked very nice, but also very distant.
Maybe because he was at home today, he was only casually wearing a thin white silk top and black pants, which made him look more approachable and gentle.
A breeze blew by, and the strange young man was as beautiful as jade.
This was the only adjective Shi Li could think of. She silently took a few steps forward with a smile on her face. "Good afternoon, Mu He."
"Good afternoon, Shi Li." Mu He maneuvered the wheelchair forward and came to Shi Li, "I'm here to pick you up."
Shi Li's eyes couldn't help but fall on his injured hand. She wanted to ask something, but asking directly "Does it hurt?" seemed too pretentious.
"My hand injury is fine now. I could still feel a little pain last night, but I don't feel anything today. Don't worry, I will go to the hospital regularly to remove the stitches."
Mu He completely saw through her thoughts and described them in great detail.
"Then I'll accompany you to the hospital, otherwise I'll feel bad." Shi Li said again. When she thought of the scene where Mu He held the knife in his hand yesterday, she still felt scared.
"Okay, so now I'll take you to visit my house, okay?" Mu He answered cooperatively.
The two of them then walked forward together.
The driver followed silently behind with a large fruit basket. After entering, he changed direction and went to the kitchen, where he handed the fruit basket to Aunt Chen, the housekeeper who was planning dinner.
"Did you buy a fruit basket?" Aunt Chen looked at the driver in surprise.
driver:……
"Miss Shi sent it."
"Oh, this is Ah He's first time bringing a girl home, and this is his first time receiving a gift from a girl. This fruit basket must be treasured!" Aunt Chen was very happy. She took the fruit basket and liked it no matter how she looked at it.
Others in the kitchen: …
Aunt Chen, I told you a long time ago not to read novels about domineering CEOs anymore, they are so tacky!
After entering the door, Shi Li saw a field of fresh and elegant bluebells growing freely at both ends of the corridor. There were also a few bird stands hung casually under the corridor for birds to perch on.
At this time, a pair of small and cute yellow orioles were perched on the bird stand. Perhaps they felt that Shi Li was a stranger, so they made a series of clear and melodious calls towards her.
"This is to welcome you." Mu He looked at Huang Ying with gentle eyes and his half-joking words were also very gentle.
