Lina's room was next to Hans's. It was decorated in her favorite style.
After Hans pushed the door open, he stopped and said gently, "Lina, go to sleep. I'll sit here to accompany you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of her hand and sat down on the chair next to the bed. Seeing this, Lina pursed her lips slightly and pulled him, "Hans, I want you to sleep with me."
The expression in her face was pitiful.
"Stop it. Be a good girl and go to bed. I'll stay here with you and won't go anywhere."
With a faint smile on his handsome face, Hans was very patient, totally different from his usual manner. He really doted on Lina.
Or, it was a misplaced compensation.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Lina immediately pulled a long face and didn't want to go to bed by herself. She pouted and sat on his legs, skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck, and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Hans, are you giving me the cold shoulder because of that woman whose surname is Su?"
Confused by her words, Hans was about to explain but Lina had already pressed her lips against his. He was slightly shocked and immediately pulled her away. With a gloomy face, he said in a serious tone, "That's enough, Lina, if you keep doing this, I'll be angry. If I am giving you the cold shoulder, why do I pick you up at the airport on person? You should go to bed right now."
As he spoke, he stood up again, took her to the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed helplessly to coax her to sleep.
"Hans, you can't fall in love with that woman. She is the daughter of your enemy."
Lina was still full of grievance, and her voice was choked with sobs. She couldn't bear any woman taking away the man she loved.
Patting her gently, Hans said in an indifferent tone, "Don't worry. I won't fall in love with her. Her surname is Su, then she is my enemy."
He didn't know if he was saying the last sentence to promise Lina or to remind himself not to fall in love with Celia.
In the villa.
"Cass, cook more dishes tonight."
Before dinner, Celia specially told Cassie to prepare the meal. Today was the time she appointed with Hans. For the sake of Cass's work, she had to try her best to please that man.
She even wanted to prepare some wine to make him drunk so as she could pass the test easily.
Cassie only heard from Celia that Hans would come tonight, but she didn't know that it had something to do with her work. Hearing Celia's words, she nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. I will cook a rich dinner."
She just went shopping this morning, and now there were a lot of ingredients in the fridge.
Celia opened the fridge and checked it. At last, she decided to cook by herself. She was confident in her cooking skills.
"I will cook tonight. Please be my assistant. We don't need to cook too much. Six dishes will be fine."
The reason why she cooked six dishes was that she liked the number of six. As a saying goes "Double Six makes lucky". She hoped that she could also be successful tonight and keep the job for Cassie.
The two of them had been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour. When they finished cooking, it was already dark. Seeing that Hans hadn't come back yet, Cassie cautiously suggested, "Celia, should we call Mr. Hans and ask him when he will come back?"
Looking at the dishes on the table, Celia was indecisive. If she called that man, she would definitely be mocked by him again. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to call Jim.
"Hello, Miss Celia."
After a few moment, Jim's joyful voice came from the other end of the line. She could vaguely hear some noises from the phone.
