688 Don’t You Miss Me?
Wei Xi’er’s eyes softened a little. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, “Zhuang Li, you don’t have to show me. I believe you.”
“Really?” Zhuang Li’s face was filled with surprise and disbelief. He asked, “Do you believe me? Xi’er, you don’t have to worry about what I think. You’re the most important person here. If you want to see, I’ll prove it to you.” His expression was on point. He acted extremely sincere.
Seeing Zhuang Li’s expression, Wei Xi’er pursed her lips and said, “It’s okay, I believe you.” She added after a pause, “It’s getting late, I’m sleepy. Get in the car and send me home, okay?” She looked a little tired.
Zhuang Li agreed for sure. He hugged Wei Xi’er tightly and smiled. “Xi’er, you’re the best. I love you so much.”
Wei Xi’er closed her eyes hard. Was it important to see what was under his collar? Zhuang Li seemed to have forgotten. If he had any intimate contact with another person, there would be traces left behind. His shirt was crumpled. His tie was also a little crooked. A strand of long, straight black hair was stuck to his suit. Most importantly, there was a light, sweet fragrance on his body. This kind of sweet perfume smell was never her taste. Could she trust Zhuang Li?
Wei Xi’er’s heart was in a mess. She felt like ignoring the reality, so she stopped thinking about it. Zhuang Li didn’t know Wei Xi’er’s thoughts, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her closing her eyes. He took out his phone and looked a little cold as he typed, “We should stop meeting for a while.” After sending the message, he deftly deleted the records and cleared the backup. Then, he put away his phone and held Wei Xi’er’s hand. With endless tenderness, he whispered, “Xi’er, can you come to my place tonight?”
Wei Xi’er paused and opened her eyes to look at Zhuang Li. The light shone on his face. Half of his face was gentle and affectionate, while the other half was hidden in the darkness, making it hard to read. Wei Xi’er’s eyes showed a little struggle. At this time, Zhuang Li held her hand to his lips and kissed it gently. With a slight smile, he caressed her hand and whispered, “I miss you. Don’t you miss me? Hmm?” He stared right at Wei Xi’er as if she was the only one in his eyes. Wei Xi’ er’s heart suddenly beat fast and her mind went blank. She could only feel excitement and joy. She smiled shyly and nodded with a slight sweetness, “Alright.” Then, she knocked on the front seat and told the driver, “I’m not going home. Let’s go to Zhaung Li’s villa in the suburbs.”
The driver was a little surprised. He wanted to say something but stopped in his tracks. Wei Xi’er had always been a decisive person. Why did she seem to be fascinated when she was in love? Zhuang Li did not even give an explanation for what happened tonight. After a few words, she was going to spend the night at Zhuang Li’s place. However, he was only a driver and couldn’t decide for Wei Xi’er. He could only nod and drive to the suburbs.
On the other hand, when Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing came home, their younger siblings had already gone to bed.
“Mr. Ji, see you tomorrow.” Shen Hanxing stood at the door and flashed a bright smile at Ji Yan. She waved her hand and said, “Good night.”
Seeing the fatigue on Shen Hanxing’s face, Ji Yan did not say much. He tucked her hair behind her ear and said in a hoarse voice, “Rest early, Madam. Good night.”
After watching Shen Hanxing return to her room, Ji Yan placed a hand on his chest as the door closed. His heart was pounding. It was as if a warm and sweet stream of water was flowing instead of blood. He pursed his lips and stared at the door. He was hoping that the door would suddenly open and he would see Shen Hanxing’s smiling face again.
At this moment, a timid female voice was heard along with a series of footsteps. “President Ji.”
Ji Yan’s eyes flickered and he looked over indifferently. Qiao Xi was holding a tray and standing at the top of the stairs. She seemed to have just gotten out of bed. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap dress, revealing her overly thin shoulders and collarbones. Her hair was messy and her face was bare. Recently, Qiao Xi had been living a much more relaxing life. She put on some weight and her face was a lot brighter. Under the light, she looked quiet and beautiful.
