Chapter 95 I Like You

Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei's heart stirred.

At least she can go out now.

This is a very good sign.

Li Yanzhou made a small incision for her, proving that her actions last night had been effective.

Slowly, I should be able to get her out of here.

It was afternoon.

Wu Ma personally took her out, along with two maids and eight bodyguards watching over her.

The driver drove us to the department store in the city center.

Actually, the purpose of this trip was very clear: to buy him a birthday present.

Luo Tingwei naturally understood this.

But she felt that Li Yanzhou lacked nothing...

He didn't even look at those luxury goods.

Besides, she had already prepared a gift, so this trip was actually unnecessary.

Luo Tingwei wandered around and bought herself a few things, all using his card.

Gradually, an hour passed.

Aunt Wu couldn't help but remind her, "Miss Luo, don't just focus on buying for yourself... There are a few nice men's clothing stores over there, why don't you go take a look?"

Since Aunt Wu had said so, Luo Tingwei had no choice but to go in.

She randomly went into a store, picked out a tie, and paid the bill.

Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Wu Ma couldn't help but frown.

“Miss Luo, you should choose carefully. This is also the main reason why the young master asked you to go out today.”

Luo Tingwei rolled her eyes at her, "But he doesn't lack anything. Even if I bought the whole store, he probably wouldn't care."

Aunt Wu shook her head in exasperation.

What she buys isn't important; what matters is that the young master wants to know if she took the gift seriously and put her heart into it.

But she was so perfunctory, not even willing to pretend.

Wu Ma felt a pang of unease; she didn't know how to report that evening.

She could already imagine how ugly Li Yanzhou's expression would be.

...

After shopping, Luo Tingwei returned home. Since it was still early, she took out the half-finished crocheting project.

She paused, recalling the position she had placed it before leaving, and felt that something was not quite right.

Luo Tingwei didn't think too much about it and continued hooking.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard at the door.

Luo Tingwei was startled and quickly tried to hide the things.

Then, the door opened.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Li Yanzhou asked, puzzled, "Why are you so flustered? Did you do something wrong?"

"No, no."

As Luo Tingwei spoke, she quietly gathered up the crochet hook and thread beneath her.

Li Yanzhou noticed her unusual behavior, curled the corners of his lips, and didn't say anything more.

The man glanced around; several shopping bags were piled on the table, filled with colorful items—clearly things she had bought for herself.

Somewhat unwilling, he swept the area elsewhere and found a package box on the floor in the corner of the room.

This time it's for men.

Li Yanzhou's expression instantly turned sour. She had her own things neatly placed on the table, but the gift she gave him was carelessly left on the floor.

What is she planning to do? She's planning a rebellion.

Luo Tingwei followed his gaze and her back stiffened.

She really just casually put it on the ground.

He came so suddenly that she didn't even have time to find a better place for him.

Sensing his oppressive aura, Luo Tingwei felt a chill run down her spine as she walked over, picked up the box, turned around, and presented it to him.

"This is a gift I bought for you this afternoon. Happy birthday in advance."

She hasn't finished preparing the other things yet, so let's treat this as an appetizer for now.

Li Yanzhou silently opened the box, a fleeting moment of anticipation passing through his mind.

Even though he knew that what was inside wouldn't be any different from what he expected.

The packaging of the box says it all; it's just a regular item from the store.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be just a tie.

Li Yanzhou glanced at it once, and his expression darkened.

He already has three of the same pattern and style in his closet.

And she couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

It was clearly just a random one they picked to fool him.

Li Yanzhou's cold gaze fell on her face, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.

"Is this the gift you picked out for me after shopping all afternoon?"

He asked, trying to suppress his anger.

Luo Tingwei knew perfectly well that he had already turned cold, and a wave of unease washed over her. She feigned composure and said...

"Hmm...isn't this tie nice? It's something you use every day, and the color is very sophisticated and suits you well."

“This color, this material, this style, I already have three of the same ones in my closet, honey, don’t tell me you didn’t know, we used to share a bedroom.”

He stared straight into her eyes, like a shrewd leopard, as if he could see right through her.

Luo Tingwei never expected him to push her to this extent.

She was careless; she just picked a color randomly, one that wouldn't go wrong.

"..."

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan, if you're not satisfied, I'll go out and buy another one tomorrow, okay? This time, I'll definitely pick one carefully..."

She rolled her eyes and looked at him with feigned innocence and pitifulness.

Li Yanzhou wasn't falling for her tricks. She wanted to use this opportunity to go out again? No way.

Sure enough, all the flattery last night was fake.

I really thought she would care about him a little more, but I didn't expect her to expose herself so quickly.

Li Yanzhou gave a cold laugh, his voice sounding both gentle and cruel.

“Baby, there’s no need to buy it again, but you can stay here and reflect on your actions for a few more days.”

With that, he lifted his leg to leave.

Seeing that he seemed angry, Luo Tingwei immediately tried to stop him, "Don't...don't go."

Li Yanzhou paused, turned halfway around, and said, "You don't care about me at all, so what am I doing here?"

That sounds like someone who's been wronged.

Luo Tingwei also regretted it; she should have thought about it more in the afternoon.

Now look what's happened. Just when things had gotten a little better last night and our relationship had improved slightly, everything has gone back to square one.

But he said he wouldn't stay, yet he didn't continue walking, seemingly waiting for her to make a move.

Luo Tingwei was going all out.

She walked straight over to him, stood in front of him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and tiptoed to kiss him.

Li Yanzhou acted arrogantly, taking a step back, "Don't touch me, I don't like you right now."

Luo Tingwei pressed closer to him, trying to kiss him again, "I like you, okay?"

"What do you mean, 'Fine, fine'? You're being reluctant." He tried to get away again.

Upon seeing this, Luo Tingwei hurriedly blurted out,

"I like you……"

“…Hmm.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she watched as a hint of desire appeared in the other person's eyes, and the next second she was fiercely turned the tables and attacked.

The man bit her ear, breathed into it, and whispered a command.

"Say it again, louder."

...

After it was over, Li Yanzhou gently pinched her nose. "I'm going to work for a while. If you're sleepy tonight, go to sleep first. Don't wait for me."

She was panting, and after thinking it over and over, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"If you're not satisfied, I'll go buy you a new gift tomorrow."

"No."

She pulled the blanket over her face, pouted, and said, "When can I go back to my own room to sleep...?"

Li Yanzhou had already reached the door when he paused, turned half his face around, and spoke in a low, melancholy tone.

"That depends on how you perform in the next few days."
