Chapter 818: Chapter 815: Pregnant with His Child? (2)
He pulled out a chair and sat down directly.
His tall frame, over six feet in height, faced her mere five feet three inches. His presence was not something ordinary people could match, let alone her petite self. In this moment, it seemed as though by just sitting down without a word, he had already won.
Yet he said nothing, simply watching her in silence.
Watching this little creature who had disappeared for several days, with her chin having slimmed down considerably.
Li Zaijun looked out the window, where their reflections were cast on the floor-to-ceiling glass. With just a slight upward glance, she could see his shadow and—him looking at her.
Her breath caught slightly, and she looked down, speaking in a low, faint voice,
“Well, what do you want to talk about?”
Shen Lin stared at her, not answering her question but instead asked directly, “Who’s the man in the photo?”
Li Zaijun’s eyelashes fluttered slightly: “That’s none of your business.”
He had no right to interfere?
A fire rose in Shen Lin’s heart again, but he fought to keep his temper in check and asked patiently, “Then what am I to you? What are we?”
Li Zaijun suddenly shot back, her gaze instantly turning to him, her almond-shaped eyes tinged with red and glistening with moisture.
She continued to press on, “Other women appear in your house, what do you take me for then? Not to mention, an ex-girlfriend, it makes one think you’re two-timing!” Updates are released by novel·fiɾe·net
By saying this, she was naturally indicating that these were her thoughts too.
Shen Lin got up in anger, he who wouldn’t bat an eye at even monumental events had been infuriated by a little scammer girl, surely a feat of hers!
But what angered him most was her lack of trust in him.
As glances from their surroundings turned their way, Shen Lin tempered his anger, reached out, and grabbed her wrist, intending to lead her away from there.
“Don’t touch me.” She recoiled immediately, her eyes showing resistance towards him.
Shen Lin called her name, his gaze deeply fixed on her, as if he were looking at a child who knew nothing but to act petulant.
However, in the next second, Li Zaijun’s lips moved, and she directly said,
“What, do you want to take me to a secluded place to confess about your ex-girlfriend’s pregnancy?”
As these words were spoken, the redness in her eyes couldn’t be withheld any longer, and tears fell down her cheeks in plops.
At these words, Shen Lin instantly froze.
He maintained the gesture of reaching out his hand, but the darkness and rage in his eyes gradually turned to shock following her statement.
He looked at her, somewhat in disbelief: “You heard?”
Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun uncontrollably wiped her face, bowed her head, closed her eyes, and let the tears fall even more fiercely, her heart felt as though it was being sliced by knives.
Her breathing even became difficult, her expression as if she never wanted to see him again in her life.
If he hadn’t said those words, that would have been one thing, but he had spoken, and he hadn’t denied it.
This meant that what she had faintly overheard outside the door back then was not a misunderstanding.
When she heard it, she wanted to escape, to disbelieve, to think she had heard wrong.
So, she pretended it wasn’t as she had heard.
But she dared not face the truth, so she kept avoiding him, as though by doing so, she could pretend nothing had happened.
She could maintain the status quo.
But now… it was no longer possible to sustain it.
