Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Realizing that Zhong Yuye is Interested in Rong Yan
What does Zhong Yuye mean by this, could he be interested in this young woman? Li Shengxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze falling upon Rong Yan. Suddenly, he remembered this wasn’t the first time Zhong Yuye had stepped in to help. Before, he had also inexplicably helped Rong Yan a few times.
He had heard plenty of rumors about this man, and in these rumors, Zhong Yuye definitely did not fit the warm, gentle type, nor was he the kind to spread his sunshine on women universally.
The Zhong Family had always been looking for a suitable marriage alliance for him, but Zhong Yuye had always shown a faint resistance, even once leaving the protection of the Zhong Family to make his own way for a while, seemingly due to some pressure at home to marry.
Such a man, he did not believe would take a sudden, inexplicable interest in Rong Yan unless… he was interested in this woman.
The realization that Zhong Yuye might like Rong Yan made Li Shengxiao’s eyes suddenly turn cold, and unconsciously, he grasped the young woman’s wrist tightly.
“Ouch.” Rong Yan’s wrist was grasped painfully again, and she struggled with a sense of exasperation while wincing, “Li Shengxiao, do you have a problem with my hand today? The wound on my palm hasn’t healed yet. If you break my bones, I’ll have to depend on you to support me if I become disabled!”
Li Shengxiao, realizing his absentmindedness had hurt her, released his hand, “I’ll provide for you, aren’t I already doing that?”
Rong Yan thought about it and realized that she was indeed being provided for by him.
The house in Dihor Garden was his, and the daily utilities, water, electricity, and sometimes the clothes she wore, the resources she got, seemed to all have his shadow on them.
She used to resist depending on others, but now she suddenly discovered she was actually being taken care of, and she felt surprisingly okay with it.
Probably because the person was Li Shengxiao!
Having come to this understanding, Rong Yan’s stunningly beautiful face burst into radiant smiles, befitting her name, Rong Yan. Smiling brightened her features like the warmth of spring, so beautiful that one couldn’t look away, “I’m not talking about the current kind of providing. If you break my wrist, I won’t be able to work. If I can’t work, I’ll have to stay at home doing nothing. Staying at home all the time without work, I’ll surely become paranoid. You are so outstanding and attractive that women flock to you more than carps in a river. If I don’t keep an eye on you, what will I do if you start cheating and bring home a harem of ‘sisters’?”
In her eyes, was he that sort of person? Li Shengxiao enveloped her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, feeling a constriction in his chest, his eyes darkening, “What you said will never happen.”
Rong Yan was surrounded by the scent of a man’s hormones; she tilted her head back, her bright eyes shining like the brightest stars in the sky, “I know. I’m just making a hypothetical point. If one day I really become disabled and need you to fully take care of me, even if you did nothing, I would probably still get suspicious. It can’t be helped, human nature is greedy. You would then become my only salvation, and I would definitely not let go! Moreover, by that time I would most likely care excessively about my appearance, everyday using your money to buy beautiful clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. I’d constantly be at the beauty salon, making sure I always look gorgeous so that you never tire of me. So you won’t break up with me~”
Li Shengxiao felt she wasn’t complaining, but rather seducing him!
If she could stay at home every day, right under his watchful eye, going nowhere, that was exactly what he would wish for!
