Chapter 99 Let her go for now

When she had no other choice, she started picking at his hand, trying to pry it open.

Li He remained silent, only taking her fingertips in a subtle, suggestive caress.

Bo Wei's fingertips trembled, and she quickly withdrew them.

Unable to.

He sighed.

I used to think of him as a high-and-mighty, aloof and dignified person.

But I only recently discovered that he really is like a naughty little boy.

You must have gotten a lot of beatings when you were a kid.

Finally, I had no choice but to reach out.

His waist was imprinted with each hand span.

It looked quite thin, but the measured amount was more than I expected.

Li He seemed to enjoy the feeling of her hand touching his body.

He silently savored the experience, his eyes gleaming with a faint sense of enjoyment.

After measuring my waist.

Bo Wei looked at him and asked, "Is it okay now?"

"And the shoulders."

"Then turn around."

"that's all."

"...How can I measure like this?"

Li He released her after a moment.

He turned around.

Bo Wei casually gestured to his broad shoulders.

Compared to her hands, his shoulders looked much broader.

"alright."

Li He turned around with satisfaction, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Bo Wei: ...

The face that had been dark all morning finally brightened up.

She pursed her lips and went to tidy up the sunflowers.

What are you doing?

"You don't dislike it, so I'll take it with me. I'll buy you a shirt after get off work."

"Let it go, it already belongs to me."

Bo Wei: ...

You have such a thick skin!

In the end, he went downstairs with only his broken phone and a few pieces of paper that had been stepped on.

...

It was almost noon.

Ji Mingxiu was completely distracted and kept getting lost in thought.

He didn't know who made the phone call to Bo Wei when he left.

But he had a feeling that it must be Li He.

A restless mind is hard to calm down.

He hesitated for a long time before sending a message to Bo Wei.

Ji Mingxiu: Weiwei, let's have lunch together.

Looking at the message I sent, I felt a bit conflicted.

One minute passed without a reply.

Disappointed.

I still clicked "recall message".

I suddenly asked her to have lunch together, without really having anything to say.

Vivi might find him a bit annoying and childish.

She was his girlfriend, but she was also herself, and someone else's employee.

There's no need to tie work and rest times together.

He threw down his phone, ran his hands through his hair, and frantically dialed the numbers.

I picked up my phone again and sent another message: Shall we go home together after work? Should we go to the supermarket to buy some fruit? It seems like we don't have any at home.

However, no reply was received for a long time.

My sense of loss grew increasingly agitated.

On one hand, I thought she was probably too busy to check her phone.

On the other hand, I wondered what kind of busyness could leave no time to even glance at my phone.

Torn between inner turmoil and anxiety, I frequently experience mental strain.

...

Li He was engrossed in his work.

By the time I finished what I was doing, it was already past the time to leave work.

He frowned.

Call Bo Wei.

However, no one answered for a long time.

She stared at the unanswered phone for two seconds before remembering that her phone had been broken that morning.

Put down your phone, go outside, and look down.

There's no one left in the secretariat.

Back in the office, I immediately spotted the gift box.

Take out the three golden sunflowers.

Then I discovered there were two more floors below.

Nine flowers were taken out in total.

These nine flowers felt heavy in my hand.

He walked to the art display case and took out an antique vase from it.

I casually placed the nine flowers inside and put them back in the display case.

It's quite unique.

Li He glanced at it with satisfaction.

He casually picked up his coat from the hanger, grabbed his phone, and left.

Today is his and Li Xiao's birthday.

There are people waiting for me when I get home.

Let her go for now.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's gift.

...

Inside the mobile phone store.

Bo Wei inserted the SIM card into the new phone.

It took me quite a while to finally log into WeChat.

Several missed calls and unread WeChat messages appeared.

I didn't click to view it immediately.

Instead, they paid first.

I left and went to the mall.

She walked into the place where she had bought the shirt last time, familiar with the place.

She didn't know much about the shirts here, but the price seemed to indicate that the clothes were nice.

After browsing around the store, I chose a crisp white shirt.

Li He has many white shirts, all of them similar. Even if he wore one he bought himself, no one would notice.

She then picked out a black and white striped shirt for Ji Mingxiu before happily carrying the things home.

Opening the door, the living room was filled with the stillness and dimness of the evening.

Bo Wei was a little surprised; hadn't Ji Mingxiu left work yet?

Upon entering the living room, I noticed a supermarket shopping bag on the dining table.

Inside were freshly bought fruits. Her throat was slowly recovering, and she generally didn't eat raw or cold food.

This was clearly left out on purpose.

Ji Mingxiu came back, but where is he?

Did they go out to eat?

Are you still sleeping in your room?

I opened WeChat and saw the message he had sent me.

I quickly replied: My phone broke today, and I just bought a new one after get off work. Where are you?

No reply was received.

She went outside Ji Mingxiu's room and listened, but there was no sound at all.

After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't knock.

She left the shirt she bought for him in the living room and took another one back to her room.

...

Barbecue stall.

Xiang Yize looked at the dejected man opposite her.

"It's perfectly normal for a woman like Bo Wei to have suitors. You're not just finding out now, aren't you? Back in college, how many people were pursuing her? The line of suitors stretched to several other universities."

Although Ji Mingxiu did not mention who the person was that made him so anxious and lost.

Given Ji Mingxiu's external conditions, education, and work experience...

Few can rival him.

But the scene he witnessed after dinner yesterday made him guess it instantly.

“This time is different.” He tilted his head back and took a big gulp of beer.

"How come it's different?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

Ji Mingxiu seemed to find it difficult to speak, but finally managed a weak smile and said, "That person is very capable. He can easily provide Weiwei with the best life and security. I can't compare to him, not even in a lifetime, not even in several lifetimes."

Xiang Yize sighed and said earnestly, "True brother, I'm just telling you the truth. Given Bo Wei's appearance, she really needs extremely good conditions to be raised and protected."

Seeing his sad expression, she couldn't bear it and added, "But actually, it's not so bad. If you speed up your wedding process and have a child, your life will be much more stable."

Ji Mingxiu looked at him, but remained silent.

The meaning of this stability is self-evident.

After a long while, he tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of wine in one gulp.

Slightly tipsy, I returned home, opened the door, and saw the bright and cheerful living room, which warmed my heart.

Looking at Bo Wei's room, he stood at the door for a long time.

Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he walked towards that direction.
