She reached out, subconsciously wanting to push Leng Yixiu away, but at that mont, the man firmly grabbed her wrist, lifting it above her head. Then, with a forceful push, he shoved her into the room. As the apartnt door closed, Shi Yi was already pressed tightly against the security door by him.
Shi Yi’s mind was blank. Deep down, a voice was screaming that she should imdiately push Leng Yixiu away, but her body felt weak.
The man domineeringly stole the air from Shi Yi’s mouth. She blushed deeply and struggled to breathe, only then did he reluctantly let go of her. The man’s gloomy mood seed to lift a little with this interaction.
"Hehe..." Leng Yixiu gazed deeply at Shi Yi’s pouting face. His eyes lingered on her slightly swollen lips, and with a deepened gaze, he then said seriously, "Over the years, I haven’t had a single woman by my side. You can’t wrong ."
"What does whether you have won or not have to do with ?" Shi Yi gave him a sideways glance.
"It matters a lot. I’m really afraid you’ll get jealous."
"President Leng, I have absolutely no interest in jealousy or anything of the sort. Don’t put a high hat on yourself." Shi Yi turned and walked into the living room in her slippers, lazily leaned back on the sofa, and yawned. "By the way, why did you co looking for in the middle of the night?"
The man’s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal. He said blandly, "I called you earlier to verify if you had gotten ho, but no one answered after a long ti. I was worried sothing had happened to you, so I ca over."
Leng Yixiu’s words were half-true. He had indeed called to confirm if Shi Yi got ho safely, but his real purpose for coming over... only he knew.
Of course, Shi Yi naturally didn’t know Leng Yixiu’s intentions. When she heard he ca because he was worried about her, she felt slightly touched deep down.
"Hey, what could possibly happen to ? You didn’t need to co all the way here. Your injuries haven’t healed yet. Don’t you worry your wounds might reopen by rushing around at night?"
"Are you worried about ?" The man was suddenly standing in front of her.
Shi Yi couldn’t stand Leng Yixiu’s gentle gaze and wanted to retreat to maintain a safe distance, but found she had nowhere to go. She coughed lightly and said angrily, "Who’s worried about you! Stop flattering yourself! I just don’t want Xiao Yixun to worry about you."
"Is that all?" The man squinted, edging closer.
"What else would it be?"
The man suddenly frowned, looking troubled. "Hmm... looks like I’m not that important to you yet. I’ll need to work harder."
Shi Yi angrily wiped her lips and complained, "Why do you keep doing this?"
"Doing what?" The man played dumb.
"You know exactly what I an."
Leng Yixiu looked at her angry face and couldn’t help but laugh. He shalessly said, "Didn’t we agree that within this month we’ll try to understand each other better? This is the best way to enhance our understanding."
"You..." Shi Yi was speechless.
The man suddenly changed the subject and asked as if unintentionally, "Is your phone broken? I couldn’t get through. Should I get you a new one?"
Although Leng Yixiu acted nonchalant, his eyes were fixed on Shi Yi, not missing any change in her expression. He had to admit, he was concerned, even a bit paranoid.
Five years ago, Ouyang Hao took Lin Yixun from his side once, and he wouldn’t let that happen again.
Shi Yi naturally didn’t know the reason behind his words, she just waved him off, "No need, I just bought that phone this year, it’s been less than half a year, it’s too wasteful to replace it. The reason I missed your call was because I left my phone at soone’s house. Speaking of which, it makes angry..."
Shi Yi then vented to Leng Yixiu about her ordeal in the elevator and Ouyang Hao’s sarcastic remarks. Seeing Leng Yixiu’s face darken in silence, Shi Yi couldn’t help but push him.
"What do you think? Wasn’t he excessive? If I had known such a person lived upstairs when I bought this place, I wouldn’t have bought it."
"Hmm... it was a bit excessive. He shouldn’t treat a lady so rudely, no matter what." Leng Yixiu paused and then said, "How about you move to my place?"
"You an move in and live with you?" Shi Yi stared at him wide-eyed.
"Ahem... I think you misunderstood . I have two spare rooms over at my place, you can stay in either one. Besides, if you move, it’ll be more convenient to pick up Yixun from school. Of course, if you’re willing to stay in the master bedroom, I wouldn’t object."
"You wish! Move into the master bedroom, my foot!"
