“…Who’s kidding with you? You took the initiative to come knocking. Let me beat you up first!” Wu Mei said through gritted teeth.
Li Nanchen knew that she needed to vent her emotions. From dodging to taking the initiative to attack, he cooperated with her rhythm.
Various low stools that were placed in the bedroom got in the way of their fight.
Li Nanchen’s eyes flickered as he glanced in the direction of the double bed. He retreated in order to entice Wu Mei to chase after him.
Wu Mei wanted to use her leg sweep to knock Li Nanchen onto the ground. However, her plan to attack Li Nanchen was seen through. Li Nanchen took the opportunity to grab her wrist. He leaned back and lay on the bed. Unprepared for this, Wu Mei landed on his chest.
“I surrender, I’ve lost to you!”
Li Nanchen raised his hand to stroke her hair. His deep eyes shone with tenderness as he coaxed her, “You should know that Auntie is worried about you.”
Wu Mei bit his shoulder in grievance and discomfort. Li Nanchen gasped, but he did not dodge and simply let her vent her emotions.
Time passed slowly. Wu Mei felt the frustration in her heart gradually dissipate. She felt a slightly hard object pressing against her abdomen.
Li Nanchen met her questioning gaze and explained apologetically, “It’s a natural reaction.”
Sensing the intimate mood between the two of them, Wu Mei immediately pushed him away and stood up. She lowered her head and tidied up her messy clothes. “Don’t bother about this matter anymore.”
“Don’t help Mom persuade me either.”
“The current situation in the Wu Corporation is complicated and chaotic. I definitely won’t let her stay!”
Li Nanchen sat up. Seeing her frown, he comforted her gently, “I understand your concern.”
“Auntie doesn’t have the ability to protect herself now. You’re afraid that Wu Pang will plot against her, but the Wu Corporation is something she cares about after all. We have to respect her wishes and choices. We can’t change her decision or even plan Auntie’s life in the name of thinking for her.”
“You don’t want to see Auntie live unhappily like before, do you?”
Every word Li Nanchen said pierced Wu Mei’s heart like a needle. She turned around and glared at the man in front of her with furrowed brows. “Are you lecturing me?”
“How would I dare?”
Li Nanchen quickly raised his hands and pulled Wu Mei towards him with a smile. He sighed and coaxed her, “I promised you that I would keep you and your mother safe. How could I go back on my word? I already know what happened in the Wu Corporation.”
“I’ve already sent bodyguards to protect it in secret. Even if Wu Pang wants to do something, he won’t be able to do it,” Li Nanchen explained.
However, Wu Mei looked at him in surprise and said, “You…”
She did not expect Li Nanchen to be so thorough and meticulous when doing things. The incident with the Wu Corporation had only happened less than two hours ago, but he had actually thought of everything and arranged for people to be there. This meant that he really cared about Mother Wu and herself.
It was not a casual concern.
Li Nanchen saw the touched look in her eyes. He gently lifted her chin with his fingers and said affectionately, “I take everything about you seriously. What about you? Do you have me in your heart?”
After saying that, Li Nanchen leaned in and kissed her.
Wu Mei felt like her heart was filled with Li Nanchen’s sweet words. Her lips curled up and she took the initiative to kiss him back. “You want to know?”
“Why don’t you look for yourself?”
Wu Mei poked her heart with her index finger in a teasing manner.
