Chapter 009: Not Giving Her a Chance

In the study.

Bai Yechen called Mu Bai, "Do you have any medicine for mouth ulcers and internal heat? It has to be the best. Have your assistant send it over."

Mu Bai, who was brushing his teeth, almost poked his gums, "Ah... Bro, are you being too harsh? Did your little wife do something out of line again, so you're deliberately... punishing her?"

Ignoring his teasing, Bai Yechen's cold voice came through the phone, "You have to bring it over yourself, and you must be here within fifteen minutes."

Mu Bai: "..."

What did he do wrong? He angered this big demon, his third brother.

After drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, Xia Zhixing was ready to go back to her room to wash up and sleep. She had only taken a few steps when she heard the phone ringing behind her, and then she was called, "Madam, could you bring the coffee to the study for the young master?"

Xia Zhixing turned around very slowly, "Okay."

Even though she didn't want to, since the housekeeper had asked, she couldn't refuse. Besides, she wanted to get along with the housekeeper! After all, she had been in the Bo family for almost twenty years and was someone who could speak to her mother-in-law, Shen Lingyi.

She added, "You don't have to be so polite to me, housekeeper."

The housekeeper looked at her suspiciously, not sure if it was her imagination or something else, but she felt that Madam seemed a little different from before...

Because her son's overseas call kept ringing, she hurriedly went out to answer it...

Standing in the living room, Xia Zhixing took a deep breath. Her past self was too foolish and made a bad impression in front of the housekeeper and the Bo family.

On the other hand, Pei Yumeng was very clever. Every time she came to the Bo family, she behaved humbly and courteously, dignified and graceful, leaving a very good impression on the housekeeper, which was one of the reasons why she later won the favor of her mother-in-law, Shen Lingyi.

After being reborn, Xia Zhixing would not give Pei Yumeng that opportunity again!

...

At the door of the study on the second floor.

Xia Zhixing stopped in her tracks and suddenly remembered the only time she had entered here in her past life, sneaking in at night to steal secret project data about the "Bo Emperor Group" from the computer.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, pushing away those bad memories from her mind, and slowly raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Bai Yechen's voice was low, clear, and melodious. This was the first time Xia Zhixing had discovered that his voice was very pleasant. Indeed, seeing things from a different perspective changes everything.

Xia Zhixing pushed the door open and saw Bai Yechen buried in some documents, probably thinking it was the housekeeper and not being on guard at all.

She walked over quietly, intending to leave after placing the coffee, but the desk was piled with documents, so she could only find a relatively empty spot to put it down.

Suddenly, Bai Yechen looked up, and Xia Zhixing's hand trembled instinctively, causing some of the coffee still in the air to spill, landing on Bai Yechen's custom-made gray shirt.

The cold coffee quickly soaked the shirt, making it wet, and Bai Yechen couldn't help but frown, clearly displeased.

Xia Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put down the coffee cup and used a few tissues to help him wipe off the coffee stains.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. I'll help you clean it up."

After speaking, she earnestly helped him wipe off the coffee stains.
