"Here we are." The driver stopped the cart.

Qiao Ning was secretly relieved and quickly got out of the cart. She lowered her head and said to Li Chengyan, "Well, Mr. Li, this way please!"

"Mmm" 

Following her lead, Li Chengyan got out of the car. Qiao Ning opened the door and took out her shoe covers. It was a rule that visitors must wear shoe covers because the floor of all model houses was carpeted. If they did not wear shoe covers, the carpet would get dirty.

But she had no gut to ask Li Chengyan to do so. A VIP like him would not wear dirty shoes, so Qiao Ning let him in without shoe covers.

"Shouldn't I wear a shoe cover?" Li Chengyan asked.

"Um," Qiao Ning said embarrassedly after a slight pause, "Mr. Li, you don't have to."

"No, I should." He walked in and sat on the sofa in the living room, crossing his legs and waiting for Qiao Ning to put on shoe covers for him.

Qiao Ning twitched her lips and looked at Li Chengyan speechlessly with the shoe covers in her hands.

Now that they were in the house, why he persisted in taking shoe covers? Besides, shouldn't he wear them himself? Why he crossed his legs? Was he waiting for her to do that?

"Why haven't you started yet?" Li Chengyan frowned and asked.

Qiao Ning took a deep breath and squatted down to cover Li Chengyan's shoes.

In fact, it was not that she had never done this before. She had dealings with all kinds of clients, and some of them even weirder than him. But work is work. She cannot say no. She had to please them until they buy the houses.

But wearing shoe covers is her bottom line. Some sales girls even sell their bodies because the commission of selling a house like this is sizeable, too tempting and irresistible. 

Li Chengyan squinted at Qiao Ning, who was squatting under his feet, and his eyes darkened.

Qiao Ning did not know what was going on in Li Chengyan's mind. After changing shoe covers for him, she stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Li, it's done."

Her voice pulled Li Chengyan back to reality. He stood up and looked at her emotionlessly and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"

"Ah?" Qiao Ning looked at him, stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Li Chengyan asked again, "Why did you lie to me? You gave me a fake name and left without saying anything." 

"You've looked for me?" Qiao Ning asked in surprise.

"No." Li Chengyan denied.

Qiao Ning twitched her lips and thought to herself. If he hadn't looked for her, how would he know she was using a fake name.

He lied but she could not point it out. If it were someone else, she might laugh and even debunk the lie. But it was Li Chengyan. If he ever looked for her, he just wanted to kill her. Nothing more.

"Uh... Mr. Li, I was wrong. Could you please forgive me?" Qiao Ning lowered her head and apologized sincerely.

Li Chengyan curled his lips, thinking that she was apologizing for deceiving him.

His attitude softened a lot, and his gentle voice came to her ears, "Do you know the mistake you've made?"

"Yes, I know. I promise you that I will never appear in front of you again. I won't tell anyone about it as it never happens." Qiao Ning immediately raised her hand and swore.

Li Chengyan's face suddenly darkened with anger.

It turned out that she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. That's why she apologized to him!

"So you want to forget it and move on? Have you asked my opinion? Am I a tolerant and nice person in your eyes?" Li Chengyan said angrily.

"Then what do you want, Mr. Li?" Qiao Ning asked pitifully.

The next second, Li Chengyan grabbed her collar.
