“Ah Li, I know you’re the best to me and there’s no one else that would treat me as well as you. So, just take it as if I’m begging you, please help me?”
Gong Zeli’s whole body froze when she called him “Ah Li.”
He lowered his head and stared at her in complete shock.
This was the very first time Shen Rou called him by this name.
This term of endearment was much more intimate compared to the other nicknames she had called him by in the past.
After recovering from a moment of shock, he slowly realized what she was about to say. He felt like mocking himself deep down inside, with a hint of bitterness.
However… he couldn’t reject her.
He had promised her before.
As long as she asked him, he would do everything and anything for her.
“What do you want me to do?” Gong Zeli glanced at her hesitatingly for a moment before he blurted out with a hoarse voice.
As Shen Rou lifted her head from his embrace and locked eyes with him, a dash of viciousness flashed past her eyes as she bit down on her lip and pronounced each word clearly. “I want to make Qiao Mianmian leave Ah Si.”
She knew very clearly that Mo Yesi would never divorce Qiao Mianmian on his own accord, so she had no choice but to work her way through Qiao Mianmian instead.
The look in Gong Zeli’s eyes shifted as he narrowed his eyes and spoke. “I think she’s pretty happy and satisfied with Ah Si. It would be quite impossible to convince her to leave him.”
“That’s why we’ll have to use another method.” Shen Rou slowly spoke after a few moments of hesitation. “She has a brother named Qiao Chen. She cares about him a lot.”
She stopped after throwing out these two sentences.
But Gong Zeli immediately understood what she meant by that.
Darkness flashed past his eyes as he stared questioningly at the mesmerizing woman in his embrace. She suddenly felt so foreign to him.
It was still the same face.
But it was as if she was an entirely different woman.
Even though she tried her best to hide it, he caught that scary look that flashed in her eyes.
“You want me to lay my hands on Qiao Chen in order to force her to leave Ah Si?”
Shen Rou was long taken over by jealousy and indignance.
Her whole mind was filled with different ways of forcing Qiao Mianmian to leave Mo Yesi.
That scheming look in her eyes was almost impossible to cover.
And Gong Zeli saw it too clearly.
But she was clueless about it herself.
She hesitated for a second before nodding. “Is it possible, Ah Li? I… I’m not asking you to hurt her brother or anything, I just need her to agree to leave Ah Si. That will be enough for me.”
“If… if you feel like it’s still impossible, then let’s forget it.”
Gong Zeli looked into the pair of eyes before him that was laced with viciousness and cruelty that she tried to hide and remembered that other pair of bright and clear black eyes. Confusion ran past his gaze for a moment.
This pair of eyes that he was staring into at this moment was so different from the pair of eyes from his memory.
Shen Rou’s eyes were brimming with cunningness and dominance from time to time.
But that pair of eyes from his memory was gentle and moving. It felt like a warm summer breeze gently brushing past one’s face whenever she looked into someone’s eyes.
In his memory, that girl was docile and gentle from the very first glance.
Not what Shen Rou looked like at this moment.
That girl shouldn’t, or rather wouldn’t, even ask him for such a favor.
“What’s wrong? Is it hard for you to do?” As Gong Zeli was just staring at her with a blank and confused expression without speaking a word, Shen Rou felt her anger and irritation slowly creep up. “Did I put you in a spot? Ah Li, you don’t have to feel bad. If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you to.”
