36 Concerned Lover (1/2)
Once in front of the door to the CEO's office, Assistant Ji knocked on the door and motioned Lei Xinyi to walk inside. Lei Xinyi pursed her lips and As if a switch was flipped and Lei Xinyi was back in her character.
As she was back in her acting mode, she realized she couldn't risk getting revealed. No matter how angry she was.
Ushering Lei Xinyi in Assistant Ji entered afterward. Lei Xinyi passed a grieved look with unshed tears to Li Yuan, who was furiously typing on his computer but paused looking at Lei Xinyi.
Lei Xinyi saw the man with broad shoulders and intimidating but handsome features. No wonder girls dropped on his feet, the man had a sex appeal to die for and an aura that screamed danger zone from miles away.
Li Yuan thought she would come in his office raising a tantrum and issuing threats but looking at her Damsel's grievance card Li Yuan smirked inside and decided to play concerned lover's card.
The woman was smarter than he thought. A hard nut to crack! But he always welcomes a challenge. He would make this woman submit all her cleverness in front of him.
Getting up from his chair, he walked toward Lei Xinyi than gave her a lingering look, then held her by her shoulder. With a doting smile, he asked in surprise, ”Lu Xinyi?! You! How come you are here?”
Then suddenly as if being astonished, he asked in utter surprise, with a faked rage, ”What happened to you?! Did someone hurt you?! Are you Okay?!”
After the momentary shock, Lei Xinyi grasped the situation. She was more expecting a cold, stoic man who will talk to her with rigidness and shun her gentlemanly.
Then gritting her teeth inwardly, she thought, 'So now that fu*ker after humiliating her for almost two hours wanted to pass her like a joke.'
Bursting out in a pool of fake tears, She said through her sobs, ”No I am not fine. You hurt me. I waited alone in that cold lobby for almost two hours for my own fiancé only to be humiliated. And hear your secretariat gossip about how I was your shunned hook-up.”
Li Yuan almost had the urge to smirk at the little fox in his arms and her direct approach and sarcasm, but giving her a concerned look he cupped her face and he said guiltily.
”My dear sweetheart, I swear it slipped out of my mind because of work that it was going to be your first day. You can ask Ji Zhou how I had been over the moon to know about your arrival last week.”
He Indicated to the stiff-stunned Ji Zhou, who was shocked by the cunning and treacherous man and crafty and sly woman acting all coy as lovers, knowing how they both were spitting venom for each other behind each other's back but nodded nonetheless.
”Baby girl, I would never hurt you intentionally. If I had known I would come to fetch you myself.” then he hugged her tightly to his chest.
Lei Xinyi had the urge to gag at his sweet behavior. He was being too affectionate and she could bet her whole life it was fake.
