95 Spilt Milk (2/2)

Lei Xinyi bit her tongue not to say anything and just hesitantly nodded her head in an unsure way.

He looked angry and she didn't want to make him livid. He could strangle her without even trying.

Looking at her unsure and hesitant action, Li Yuan sighed to calm his anger and leaned forward causing Lei Xinyi to scoot backward.

”It has always been my actions and behavior you blamed for…. fluctuations in our relation but it is always you who push me away. It is not the first time I try to talk things out and you, like always avoid me like you are doing now!”

Running a hand through his already messy hairs he sighed, ”I knew, I knew from the start that you weren't good enough from being in the Li Family. I don't know what the elders were thinking; for God's sake the whole family is…. Dangerous. They were practically throwing a naïve girl to the wolves! Whatever that sounds to you I was simply trying to protect a young girl who had no business in my family. ”

Moving closer to hold her both hands in his he continued, ”But now that I know that you can hold your own I am okay with this relation. Yes I was wrong that I slept with random woman every week and ridiculed your presence but I didn't want to play with you then toss you aside. I was simply giving you reason to back out.”

Looking at him with a scorned face Lei Xinyi sneered at him, ”Oh… and is that supposed to make me feel like you are a good person?! You f*cking cheated and you are saying on my face you didn't think worthy of me!”

Lei Xinyi didn't have any right to be worked up but him being cozy with other women like he is cozy with her made her go green with envy and possessiveness.

Li Yuan scoffed and looked at her with narrowed eyes, ”Xinyi, there is no use of crying on spilt milk. My family is involved in… different kind of businesses and we have enemies and I just didn't want a pampered princess to be sacrificed for some sick ploy.”

”But now that I know that you can defend yourself and are not naïve so I just want us to start over. See… I like you and would like to get to know you. So… I just want you to take it seriously with me instead of playing a push and pull game.”

Lei Xinyi looked at him with wide eyes. It wasn't supposed to be like that… He can't want anything serious because no matter what she will leave in some months. Although she did lack morals but she wasn't a kind of person who led people on.

Lei Xinyi shook her head lightly, ”Uhh….I think we have a lot of history and are quite…. entangled in them. I think we both need space then we can think of anything from there like we can get to know each other by then.”

A smile graced Li Yaun face that had Lei Xinyi breath hitched, ”Yeah... I get this is the most I can get from this bargain.”

A moment passed and both of them sat in comfortable silence in close proximity with their wild thoughts.

”You did great today. If you want to be the HOD of Planning Department I can arrange that. After further investigation we discovered Yun Qianqian involvement with the…. matter so she has been fired.”

Lei Xinyi thought for a moment then said, ”No, I am temporary and although a little dimwit Assistant Yan is quite into the role and deserves it too.”

Li Yaun chuckled with a glint in his eyes, ”I will take your word for it. I got these sweets as gift from an overseas friend as I am not a sweet person I will ask Assistant Ji to keep it in your car.”

Lei Xinyi eyes shone with glee immediately, ”You are giving them to me! Oh thank you!”

Li Yuan smiled down at Lei Xinyi who was squealing from happiness.
