The ear-piercing sound of porcelain shattering rang out. Just as Shen Xi was about to ask Zheng Huai to lower his voice, a bad feeling flashed through her heart. She turned her head nervously and indeed saw a stunned Meng Yu.
Zheng Huai wanted to comfort Meng Yu when he saw him, but he only called out Meng Yu’s name, “Ah Yu…”
“Director Li is getting engaged?” Meng Yu forced a smile. “When?”
They had been together for ten years, and now that Li Zhe was about to get engaged, he still heard it from someone else. Why did this feel strange?
Zheng Huai was vexed in his heart. Why was he so loud? How could he let Meng
Yu know? He could only bite the bullet and answer, “Tomorrow.”
Meng Yu suddenly smiled. That bitter look made Shen Xi feel bad for him. The feeling of being abandoned by his lover was indeed unbearable.
“I should go and congratulate him on such a joyous occasion. We’ve been subordinates for ten years. It’s not appropriate if I don’t go. It’s not appropriate if I don’t go…” Meng Yu seemed to be talking to both Shen Xi and the others but also seemed to be talking to himself.
After saying that, Meng Yu squatted down and collected the broken porcelain pieces while muttering, “Really, I was so happy that I didn’t hold the bowl properly and broke it. I lost my composure.”
Shen Xi saw that Meng Yu’s hand that was picking up the porcelain piece was slightly trembling. She was afraid that Meng Yu would cut his hand, so she hurriedly went forward to pull Meng Yu up, but she was still a step too late.
Meng Yu’s fingers turned red while he made a hissing sound. Shen Xi hurriedly pulled Meng Yu up and pressed him down on a chair beside him. She said to Zheng Huai beside her, “Brother, go get the medicine box.”
Zheng Huai nodded, while Shen Xi had already picked up a tissue at the side and gently wiped Meng Yu’s wound to stop the bleeding.
Meng Yu looked at his fingers in a daze. His tone was so light that it was as if a gust of wind could blow away his voice. “I’m fine. It’s just a small wound.”
Shen Xi said with both heartache and anger, “What small wound? Did you have to be in such a daze for such a scumbag like him?”
“Director Li, he’s not a scumbag. He just returned to a normal life. Getting married and having children is a normal life. I should have known.” Meng Yu argued.
“If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have come to provoke you. He messed up your
life- and now he’s leaving isn’t like that _ What right does he have?” Shen Xi said angrily.
Shen Xi’s eyes turned red as she spoke. Guan Lei treated her the same way too. Initially, she had no intention of falling in love. It was Guan Lei who forced his way into her world. She had finally convinced herself to accept it, but in the end, that person had caused trouble in her world and then turned around and left.
Such people were too much.
Meng Yu laughed and continued to defend Li Zhe, saying, “No, my life has always been a mess. It’s not his fault. We’re just taking what we need, that’s all.”
Meng Yu felt that his understanding was correct. The first time they were intimate, he was drugged. Li Zhe helped him, so he should be grateful.
The second time was when Li Zhe was drugged. As Li Zhe’s subordinate, he only helped Li Zhe relieve the effects of the drug.
The third time…
Meng Yu’s eyes dimmed slightly as if they were covered with a layer of dust. Then, he began to try to convince himself.
He had been with Li Zhe for ten years. When Li Zhe had desires, it was normal for him to look for someone who knew him well and was clean. Since he did not reject him at that time, he should not be resentful now.
Besides, Li Zhe was his benefactor. It was worth it to give his body to his benefactor, wasn’t it?
As for Li Zhe saying that he liked him, it was probably just a desire. It should be normal for two men to help each other and solve each other’s needs, right?
Meng Yu lowered his eyes and smiled as if he had finally woven a reasonable reason for his beautiful experience.
But in Shen Xi’s opinion, this was not the case. If Li Zhe and Meng Yu really wanted what they needed, then they should have agreed from the beginning that no one should be tempted. Everyone should keep their hearts and just play.
However, Li Zhe had said in front of her that Meng Yu was his lover, so Shen Xi believed that Li Zhe must have been interacting with Meng Yu as a lover.
Moreover, looking at Meng Yu’s current state, he clearly had feelings for Li Zhe. How could this be taking what each needed?
In Shen Xi’s opinion, Li Zhe had forcefully turned a straight man like Meng Yu gay in the name of love. He had even made Meng Yu fall in love with him, and then he said he did not want him.
This was really too much.
Shen Xi gritted her teeth. She was so angry that her entire body was emitting a cold aura.
Zheng Huai, who came in with the medicine box, was almost frightened by
Shen Xi. The resentment on her face was comparable to that of a malicious ghost..
