649 I’ll Listen to You
���Right? Of course I would be jealous!” The socialite who spoke had a good relationship with Wei Xi’er. She laughed when she heard this, “You’ve only been back in the country for a while, and you’re already so successful in both your love life and career. We can only sit here and watch you show off your love. I’m so jealous!”
The other socialites also echoed, “Xi’er and second Young Master Zhuang are a perfect match, and their family backgrounds are also similar. They’re so sweet, aren’t we going to die of envy? They make me want to fall in love too, but I don’t know if I’m as lucky as Xi’er to meet a man as good as second Young Master Zhuang.”
The continuous praise made Wei Xi’er’s smile even wider. Her eyes were bright as she smiled and rebuked, “All of you can keep talking nonsense. I’ll remember everything. When you guys are in a relationship, don’t blame me for returning the favor!” Then, she turned to Zhuang Li and asked with a smile, “Why are you here all of a sudden? Weren’t you talking to someone?”
“We just finished.” Zhuang Li responded and looked at Wei Xi’er, whispering, “I saw that you were having a good time talking to your friends, so I wanted to go to the deck to take a breath of fresh air. I came to report to you so that you’ll know where I would be at.”
“Wow, we’re already on the cruise ship, you can’t go far. Do you really need to report where you’re going? ” The socialite who had spoken earlier exclaimed exaggeratedly, unable to take it anymore. “Why are you two so clingy? You can’t even leave the other person’s line of sight for a moment?”
“I was afraid that Xi’er will be worried if she couldn’t find me.” Zhuang Li’s expression remained calm as he said affectionately, “Telling her in advance will make her feel at ease. Why not?” After he finished speaking, he looked at Wei Xi’er again. His eyes, which were always cold and proud, had a bit of stubbornness. “I don’t really know much about romance, but I want to give you a sense of security. After all, I can’t afford to lose you.”
“Waa!” The socialites all exclaimed in surprise. Zhuang Li was so gentle and considerate, and he was so thoughtful in everything. Anyone who saw him would think that he loved Wei Xi’er to death. Even Wei Xi’er was moved. She knew that Zhuang Li said that because of their previous breakup. When she saw that Zhuang Li had decided to change his mind and was so concerned about every single detail in life, she was touched, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but doubt herself. Was it because she had heard too much about “once a cheater, always a cheater” when she had complained to Shen Hanxing about it before? Did that make her too suspicious of everything? Should she give Zhuang Li more freedom?
Wei Xi’er’s mind was filled with a lot of thoughts, but she did not show it on her face. She only gently held Zhuang Li’s hand and smiled, “You go ahead. I’ll come over to accompany you when I’m done here.” She felt a little guilty. Not long after she returned to the country, she met Zhuang Li. After the two of them got together, they naturally wanted to be together all the time. Furthermore, Wei Xi’er wanted to prove her ability and was not willing to be a rich heiress in the Wei Corporation who only knew how to spend money, so she spent most of her time on her career. Her relationship and career took up a large proportion of her time, and the only time she had left was for her family, so she spent even less time with her friends. Now that they could finally sit down and chat, she could not leave now. She could only leave Zhuang Li alone for a while. She was really not a good girlfriend.
The more Wei Xi’er thought about it, the more she felt that she had gone too far. She smiled at Zhuang Li and apologized, “Don’t you feel a little bored by yourself? I heard there’s a pool room or something down there. Do you want to play with the others for a while?”
“I’m not bored, so don’t overthink it.” Zhuang Li was simply an ideal boyfriend. After hearing Wei Xi’er’s words, he tidied up her hair and smiled, “The people who play these things are not good people. Each of them has a few women with them. I don’t enjoy playing with them. You don’t have to worry about me. You can chat with your friends more. I’m going to look at the sea and relax.” His voice was filled with love as he said in a low voice, “I’ll come back for you after I’m done. Don’t run around, hmm? I’ll be worried if I can’t find you. Besides, you’re wearing high heels. It’s too hard to walk.”
Hearing Zhuang Li’s words, Wei Xi’er was even more touched. Her heart was filled with sweetness, so how could she bear to reject his gentleness? she nodded without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
