Ming Li entered the villa and headed straight for the bathroom after taking off her coat.
Soon, the sound of rushing water could be heard from the bathroom.
A Zi sat on the living room sofa, tidying up Ming Li’s belongings. A moment later, the phone on the table rang. A Zi glanced at it, picked it up, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A Zi raised her hand and knocked on the bathroom door. "Sister Li, your brother is calling. Do you want to come out and take the call?"
Ming Li, inside the bathroom, raised an eyebrow at the sound. She casually grabbed a bathrobe, put it on, and opened the bathroom door.
As the door opened, a wave of hot steam billowed out, hitting A Zi’s face. A Zi stared blankly at Ming Li, her face instantly flushing a deep red, as if it could drip water.
Ming Li held the doorknob with one hand and wiped her hair with a towel in the other. She looked at A Zi’s flushed face and asked with confusion, "Are you sick? Why is your face so red?"
A Zi quickly lowered her head and shyly said, "Sis... Sister Li, I’m fine. This is your phone. Your brother called you." After speaking, A Zi quickly handed the phone to Ming Li.
Ming Li reached out and took the phone. She glanced at the screen and, without a second thought, pressed the red hang-up button.
A Zi, watching from the side, was utterly bewildered. A Zi: "…?! Wait! Didn't our Sister Li always dote on her brother? Why did she hang up the phone?? That’s so strange…"
Although A Zi was very curious, she didn't ask any further questions. She knew that her Sister Li’s affairs were not something a mere assistant like herself could meddle in.
After calmly hanging up the phone, Ming Li tossed it back to A Zi and said, "Go down to the garage and drive a car up. I need to go out in a moment."
A Zi took the phone, lowered her head, and said sheepishly to Ming Li, "I’m sorry, Sister Li, I can’t drive yet… but I’ll learn as quickly as possible!"
Ming Li: "…Alright, it was my oversight."
"There’s no need to apologize. Go back to the living room. After I dry my hair, you can come with me to handle some business." As she spoke, Ming Li picked up the hair dryer and began drying her hair.
The whooshing sound of the hair dryer drowned out A Zi’s acknowledgement.
Two minutes later, the sound of the hair dryer in the bathroom ceased. Ming Li emerged from the bathroom, her hair dry. The system in the space looked utterly confused.
System: "…?! Host, tell me! Why is your hair dry so quickly?? Is that hair dryer magical?!"
Ming Li went into her bedroom and changed into a black dress, paired with high heels. She exuded a powerful aura. It couldn't be helped, as Ming Li noticed that the wardrobe in the original owner's room was filled with dresses. Ming Li looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
When A Zi saw Ming Li again, she felt her eyes dazzle. The blush that had just faded from her face reappeared, and her heart pounded. A Zi felt like she couldn't take it anymore. How could their Sister Li be so beautiful!! Especially now, with an added aura of natural coolness. She felt like she was about to get a nosebleed.
"No, no," A Zi quickly raised her hand to touch her nose. Fortunately, there was no nosebleed, or it would have been truly embarrassing.
Ming Li furrowed her brow slightly, looking at A Zi’s actions with confusion. "What’s wrong? Why is your face still so red?"
"I…"
Before A Zi could even utter "I," Ming Li interrupted her. "I’ll take you to the hospital later to get it checked out and see what’s going on."
A Zi: "…No! Sister Li!!!"
