C68 Heart of a Woman, Undersea Needle (1/2)
”What did you say?” I looked at Li Xinai in disbelief, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as I pointed to myself and said: ”I want to be the chairman of Li Group? Please, are you watching too many TV shows!? I didn't think about it at all. Would I have naively thought that if we had slept together, you would have married me? I want to be responsible for you. You can make me do anything you want, but can you please not insult me like this? ”
Li Xinai turned her head and completely ignored me.
”Ah, this woman is so infuriating!” I was infuriated and shook my head helplessly. I had really gone mad trying to take responsibility for her. She was so arrogant to the bone. I had thought that I had some intentions towards her! After thinking about it, I didn't say anything else and just opened the door and left.
I took a few steps towards the hallway, but not long after, I heard Li Xinai's wails coming from the room. Although Li Xinai said that to me, I am after all the one who got the upper hand. If I really had to be squeezed by her, or two, I wouldn't care about her anymore.
After thinking about it, I turned around and returned to my room. I did not go in, but stood at the door and waited, waiting for Li Xinai's crying voice to subside. Li Xinai sat paralyzed on the carpet, she did not have a single trace of arrogance on her face.
I took a few tissues from the table and passed them to her. ”Don't worry. I definitely won't let anyone other than the two of us know about this.” In front of outsiders, the two of us can pretend that nothing happened last night, but between the two of us, I feel that this is my fault and that I will really take responsibility for it. If you need me for anything in the future, just say so.
”Pfft.” When Li Xinai heard my words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She raised her head, which was clearly smiling, yet there was a tinge of grievance in her eyes.
”Ah?” Oh. Now, I, I'm going. Would you like something to eat? I'll bring it back for you. ” I suddenly remembered as I stood at the door, so I asked casually.
Li Xinai thought for a while and said: ”Buy me some bread.”
”Ah, bread? You drank so much yesterday that you ate so much spicy food. I'll buy you some fruit and milk to clear your stomach. Wait for me here, don't run around. ” I said, smiling.
”Cough, cough.” I coughed dryly, grabbed my key card, closed the door, and walked out. The moment I walked out of the hotel, my mind was in a mess. Since what had happened had already happened, I could only let nature take its course. I couldn't possibly be irresponsible and have a one-night stand, could I? Fortunately, Li Xinai didn't seem to like me and didn't force me to marry her. I was lucky in the midst of misfortune, I still had the chance to marry the Goddess, no, marry the Goddess and Junior Sister. Hehe, thinking about it, I was a little excited.
”Buzz buzz buzz.” Just then, my phone in my pocket rang, I took it out to see who it was, and all my attention was focused on Li Xinai, only then did I realize that there were already over 10 missed calls, and the person who was calling was Liu Qing. I think that she was the one who hit the other ten or so people. This little girl is even more strict with me than my mother.
Just as I was about to answer the phone, another phone in my pocket rang. When I took it out, it was naturally Li Xinai who called. With my left hand, Li Xinai with her right, who exactly should I pick up the phone from? Ah, a headache!
Just when I was hesitating, Liu Qing's phone stopped ringing when there were enough calls, I called Li Xinai without thinking: ”Hello?”
I just got through, and Liu Qing called again with my right hand, so I could only pretend that I didn't see anything.
”Little Buddha, I suddenly want to eat the cake made by the elder of the east side of the city.” Li Xinai's voice slowly traveled over, her words revealed a trace of gentleness that had never been there before.
This voice matched her feminine temperament. I thought about how it would only take half an hour for the east side of the city to go back and forth after a taxi. I nodded and replied, ”Alright, I'll go there after I buy the medicine.”
On the other side of the phone, Li Xinai was startled by my answer, and asked: ”Don't you think my request is too excessive?”
”Huh?” I scratched the back of my head, not knowing why Li Xinai would suddenly ask this. I replied without thinking, ”What's wrong with that? What do we have to do with each other, I... ”Cough, cough.” I suddenly realized that I had said the wrong thing and was too embarrassed to continue.
”I don't want to eat the Thousand-Pancake again, so hurry up and come back. We have to pack up and prepare to go to Northern Beijing.” Li Xinai changed the topic of conversation back to work for no reason at all.
”Oh, okay.” I nodded unconditionally and hung up; what in the world was going on in this woman's mind? Why did he make such a strange call?
”Buzz buzz buzz.” Just as I was pondering why Li Xinai would make this call, the phone in my right hand vibrated uncontrollably for the nth time. It was only then that I realized Liu Qing was still calling me, so I quickly picked up her call.
”Jiang!” Small! ”Buddha!” I hastily moved the phone away from my ear, but that voice still seemed to be right beside my ear; I looked at the phone with a face full of terror, when I heard Liu Qing's angry voice from inside: ”Jiang Xiaofo, where did you go!”
