545 I Want to Leave
“No! It’s a ghost! A ghost!” Shen Sisi screamed and ran out of the house in her slippers as if she had gone mad. She pulled open the door and ran into the courtyard. Zhuang Li, who was wearing a black suit, had just got out of the car. Just as he pulled open the door of the Shen Family villa, he saw a figure with disheveled hair bump into him. He did not have time to dodge, and the two collided head-on. His already miserable mood worsened. He cursed angrily, “Don’t you have eyes?”
“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Shen Sisi struggled desperately. Her eyes were red. “There’s a ghost! No, it’s the Devil! There’s a Devil on me! Let go of me, let me go…”
What was going on? Hearing a familiar voice, Zhuang Li looked down and saw that Shen Sisi was wearing a slip-dress. It outlined her plain figure, and because she ran too fast, one of her shoulder straps slipped off. Her delicate collarbone and large areas of snow-white skin were exposed. Her pure face was full of fear as if she had been shocked, making her look delicate and pitiful.
“Sisi, what’s wrong with you?”Zhuang Li frowned. After all, Shen Sisi was the girl he liked. He empathized with her situation and forced himself to soften his voice. “What do you mean by Devil? What happened to you?”
“Let me go, let me go…” Shen Sisi could not hear him at all. She could not care less about exposing herself as she struggled. She struggled to escape. “I want to leave this place, leave this place!”
“Sisi, wake up. I’m Zhuang Li!” Zhuang Li shook Shen Sisi and held her in his arms firmly. He said in a deep voice, “Look carefully. There are no ghosts in broad daylight. What happened to you?”
“Zhuang Li? Zhuang li…” Shen Sisi’s eyes gradually cleared. She looked up, and the tears in her eyes fell. She leaned into Zhuang Li’s arms pitifully. “Zhuang Li, I’m so scared…”
“What happened to you? What happened at home?” Zhuang Li held Shen Sisi’s trembling body. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. “You’re my woman. Who dares to touch you? Tell me, and I’ll make them pay!” His tone was indescribably dominating. If it were in the past, when she heard Zhuang Li defend her like this, Shen Sisi’s heart would surge with endless affection and pride. This was proof of Zhuang Li’s love for her. However, at this moment, her heart suddenly panicked. How was she going to answer Zhuang Li’s questions? If she were to tell the truth, it would involve the man who died in prison. She absolutely could not let anyone know that she had hired someone to kill Yang Xue. However, if she did not say it, she did not know how to explain it…
“Sisi, what are you thinking about?” Seeing that Shen Sisi was distracted, Zhuang Li tapped the tip of her nose helplessly. His eagle-like eyes fell on her face. “How can you still be distracted while in my arms?”
“I… I’m not thinking about anything…” Shen Sisi’s eyes flashed. She pretended to be weak as she leaned against Zhuang Li’s chest and whispered, “Zhuang Li, why are you here?” She smelled a faint scent of perfume at the tip of her nose. It was like fresh roses blooming in a garden; morning dew still stuck on them. The scent was strong but not pungent, and it added a level of charm.
Shen Sisi’s face suddenly darkened. This was not the perfume that Zhuang Li usually wore. No one knew Zhuang Li’s scent better than she did. His scent was of cologne mixed with the smell of cigarettes. This perfume scent clearly belonged to another woman. Before he came to find her, he had hugged other women! No, instead, he had just kissed another woman and then appeared in front of her again. He acted as if nothing had happened and pretended to be deeply in love with her. Were all men so vulgar? Recalling that night when she hid in the garden and saw Zhuang Li and Wei Xi’er’s passionate moment, Shen Sisi’s lips curled up into a cold smile. It must be Wei Xi’er. It must be that woman!
Zhuang Li was just putting on a show when he said he was only with Wei Xi’er to get the Wei Corporation’s support, and in the end? He still slept with Wei Xi’er. This man really deserved to die! The negative emotions in her eyes and the tears and fear disappeared completely.
“It was all because you kept calling me, wasn’t it?” Zhuang Li didn’t notice that something was wrong with Shen Sisi. He smiled and scratched her nose. “I’ve been too busy recently and didn’t receive your call. I came to look for you when I had the time, didn’t I?”
Yes, Zhuang Li was indeed very busy. He was busy having sex with Wei Xi’er, trying to please Wei Xi’er, and being romantic with her.
