Let's Meet Mr. Li

"Actually… I have a small request for you."

Ah, Li Si An had a request to make. Su Yu almost fell into a completely wrong grasp. What did Su Yu expect from that woman?

"I will use one of the rooms on the third floor to be my study."

A sudden request and is it really necessary?

"Why take another room? You can also use the study room if you want to do something."

Did Su Yu mean that study room on the second floor? "No, that's your study. I won't interfere with your work."

Li Si An couldn't imagine herself sharing another room with Su Yu beside the bedroom. There was something wrong with that shadow and it felt so horrific. It's like going into a room that's rumored to be haunted. There is a creepy creature sitting with you in the room, why did Li Si An push herself into the room like that?

It's enough for

Li Si An let herself sharing a bedroom with Su Yu. They can't share another room anymore. Li Si An wouldn't let that happen to her poor self.

"If you're worried about disturbing my work you can add a desk for yourself there. Our study room is quite spacious, an extra desk won't make a difference."

Our study room?

Isn't that room Su Yu's digs in this house?

He always locked himself in there after work.

Yesterday he received his assistant in there. Talking one-on-one as if it was a secret society meeting room. Su Ya might as well keep valuable things or documents in the room.

After all that Li Si An thought sharing a study, the room is not a good idea. She just didn't want to intrude and of course not to be intruded by. They can't be like that.

"Don't you keep some of your books in the study room too?" Su Yu added another reason to get Li Si An to come to his study.

What book? Ah, that must be the literacy she used while studying medical and some of her other personal reading books. Li Si An did have a few piles of books and she remembered that they were all stored on the same shelf in their study room.

But that was because Li Si An thought he might share a room with Ye Mufan. They both struggled in medicals, their books were in the same line and Ye Mufan didn't have a special assistant he needed to see in the study room every day.

Why was that plan making things difficult for her now?

Did the real Li Si An in this place think she could share the study room with Su Yu or maybe she never really had a special place in this house other than the greenhouse?

What a pity!

"I'll be removing my books from the study shelf. It wouldn't work well to divide the room between the two of us." Li Si An stayed clean and strict with her request.

Hadn't Su Yu always complied with this request of his wife?

That was because Li Si An's request had never contradicted Su Yu's thoughts. Even though their relationship was cold, every decision Li Si An and Su Yu made was in sync and the steps they took were in line.

They do not need a lot of things just to equalize an opinion. They had understood each other. So that there is almost no need for any effort in this relationship which makes things start to lose the strong meaning they should have.

It started with a divorce request and then Li Si An asked for a study room for herself. Su Yu felt Li Si An getting further and further out of his reach. Maybe because Li Si An had lost so much in such a short time?

Her mother dead… then their poor baby… an unfinished case. They were probably too much for Li Si An to deal with so the woman was a bit muddled and strayed from him.

Su Yu never thought he would lose Li Si An too by the end of their story. There was a sadness that began to sprout in his heart.

"Choose the room you want. You can order the furniture through Wei Jun, he will prepare everything for you."

"Oh, of course." Yes! This meant that her request had been approved by Su Yu.

"I also have a request for you." Su Yu didn't need to speak like someone who was begging. He sounded like a negotiator ready to take payment for his offer.

There is no free lunch in this world. Li Si An needed to pay for her little wish and grant Su Yu's wish.

What Su Yu might have asked for, that man already had everything. His request should not be something ordinary or even can be fulfilled only with money alone.

Li Si An took precautions in case Su Yu gave her a difficult request like… um, having

another baby?

Please don't! Li Si An could not imagine herself fulfilling such a request.

"If it's not too difficult I will help you, if it is difficult enough can I get outside help?"

Su Yu was almost made to laugh by Li Si An's ridiculous answer. Are they playing a request game? Whoever cannot grant his opponent's request then he must be punished.

After all, which outsider was Li Si An referring to as if she had another man who would grant her wish out there. Did the woman mean her father? Li Si An once ran to her father to make her wishes.

Yesterday such a thing was possible for Li Si An but now Su Yu wasn't sure Li Si An had someone she could turn to for help.

"Let's visit Chairman Li tomorrow," Su Yu said slowly.

"Is that your request?" Li Si An wanted to get some clarity. That doesn't sound like a request.

Li Si An was a bit confused in response. That was not to say that the request Su Yu made was a difficult one. Even this request is fairly simple. The man just wanted to meet his father-in-law. What's wrong with that request?

Li Si An had not met her father as long as she was in this different world, but after Su Yu mentioned it. Li Si An felt pain in her heart due to feelings of longing and sadness. Isn't Mr. Li currently in detention?

Can they find him?
