111 Star Crossed Lovers (1/2)

Then she stood up from her seat and looked at the garden, ”Now take me to the office, I don't want to stay in your presence anymore.”

She heard a sigh from behind her, then a pair of arms were draped around her waist. She wriggle to get away from his hold but he was too strong for her.

Finally huffing she gave up struggle and let him have his way with her.

”Come on... Xinyi. Here I am trying to make this work but I am the only one who is putting effort. All you do is pose...”

”Well, sorry to break it to you that's what ladies do in courtship.” Lei Xinyi snapped and cut him off.

Li Yuan chuckled, ”I get it, Xinyi but you are being difficult for no reason.”

Lei Xinyi ignored him and stayed silent but just glared at the flora garden in front of her.

Li Yaun gave out a heavy sigh then turned her around and held her by her shoulders, ”Xinyi, listen carefully because I will bluntly say this only once. If I wanted her in that seat..” Pointing to the seat previously occupied by her.

”...Then I had years to make that happen I know her from before you were even born and if I wanted her as a woman who I had before me on her knees she would never be in that seat.” Pointing to the seat where Su Qianwei was sitting.

”..All I am trying to clarify here is that she is a good friend and I will never abandon her because she was there in my lowest with me when you didn't give a f*ck that I existed. You were my fiance that time too when the revolt in Li Family happened but you weren't with me she was. So you don't really have that kind of right to demand that I cut it off with her.”

Lei Xinyi pursed her lips and solemnly nodded.

Li Yaun smiled and nodded, ”Good. I don't expect you to stay harmonious but just be... civil”

Lei Xinyi nodded again and as the mood was already killed so they decided heading back to the office was wisest thing to do.

The car was running on the road. Li Yaun wasn't driving as his driver had arrived.

Lei Xinyi was ignoring him, looking out of the window and he was typing something on his phone.

Li Yaun glanced at her and saw her glaring at the buildings passing by.

Li Yaun slid closer to her, ”Sweetheart, talk about it.” As Lei Xinyi didn't reply him he sighed and indicated the driver to open the partition.

The feelings were too much and Lei Xinyi wanted to drown in alcohol than to deal with them.

He wasn't hers she would leave anyway when the shipments arrive then why did she care who was trying to be the next Mrs. Li.

Once they were in privacy he turned her around to him and made him look at her, ”What is it, Xinyi? What is it that you are feeling?”
