"President Li!"
Wen Shu met his gaze.
Li Duo glanced at her expressionlessly, then looked at the person opposite him, "Officer Lin, are you still on duty so late?"
"I've come to deliver something."
Officer Lin hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and asked, "Is Mr. Li pursuing Ms. Wen?"
Wen Shu was taken aback. "Officer Lin, actually I am now..."
Li Duo suddenly reached out, gripped her waist tightly, pulled her into his arms, and interrupted her before she could speak, "What? Is it illegal?"
His iron-like hands gripped her slender waist tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.
Officer Lin's eyes dimmed. "Wen Shu, you should explain this to your grandmother so she won't worry."
He raised the small bag in his hand and forced a smile, "Thank you for the steamed buns, Grandma."
Wen Shu responded softly, "Thank you for making this special trip."
She watched Officer Lin leave, then heard Li Duo's voice: "They're all gone!"
Li Duo's cold voice rang in my ears.
Wen Shu turned around. "Mr. Li, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to keep Miss Lin company?"
Li Duo's eyes darkened, and he reached out to pinch her chin. "The first thing I need to remind you of is not to say her name out of your mouth."
Wen Shu was taken aback, and after a few seconds of silence, she nodded, "Okay."
Her eyes were somewhat vacant; though they were fixed on his face, it was as if she wasn't looking at him at all.
Li Duo stared into her eyes. "The second thing is what Jin Chao told you: keep your mouth shut. Don't say a single word that you shouldn't say!"
Wen Shuxin was somewhat flustered, and she tried very hard to control her inner turmoil. "Yes."
"Finally, what happened at the airport today will happen again in the future."
Wen Shu's gaze finally focused. "Is this part of my job?"
Li Duo paused for a moment, then said, "Extraordinary."
Do I have the right to refuse?
What do you think?
Wen Shu twitched the corner of her mouth. "President Li, that will have to be charged separately."
Li Duo chuckled, "Five thousand each time."
"President Li is so generous."
She gently pulled his hand down. "Mr. Li, shouldn't our relationship change?"
Li Duo's smile faded. "How do you want it to change?"
Wen Shu kept his first point in mind: "I feel I should withdraw from your private life."
Li Duo grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him. "What did you say when you begged me? Isn't it a little too late to be shameless now?"
"Mr. Li, aren't you afraid your fiancée will find out about my relationship with you?"
"Then don't let her know!"
Wen Shu looked at him in surprise. He didn't want her to know?!
"Do you think you've got a job, the people harassing you are gone, and you've even set your sights on a young policeman, so you can't wait to get rid of me?"
"Mr. Li, you've misunderstood..."
"You brought me food and personally escorted me to the front door. Your shyness was written all over your face. What could be the misunderstanding?"
Wen Shu lowered her head, "Officer Lin was just helping me deliver..."
Li Duo suddenly turned around and walked towards the car by the roadside.
Wen Shu rushed over and grabbed his arm, "President Li!"
"Let go!"
Wen Shu naturally dared not let it go. "President Li, it's really a misunderstanding. Officer Lin received something that a passerby had picked up, and when he realized it was mine, he came to confirm it with me."
She held up the bag in her hand to show him, "I found it over on Changping Road..."
Li Duo turned to stare at her and said coldly, "Are you accusing me of throwing away your things?"
Wen Shu pursed her lips and looked at him cautiously, "Mr. Li, are you worried that my presence at the company might be a hindrance to you?"
So that's why he deliberately picked a fight to force her to leave?
In her view, he suddenly appeared and every word he said was meant to provoke her.
"So you threw those things away?"
Li Duo sneered, "Yes, so what do you plan to do?"
She looked up at him and said, "If you threw it away and someone else picked it up and returned it to me, I should thank them."
Li Duo looked at her and said, "Are you blaming me for throwing away your things, and thanking someone for picking up the trash and returning it to you?"
"Mr. Li, do you remember the pendant that Assistant Jin picked up? It was trash to Miss Zhong, but it was a treasure to me."
He glanced at the bag in her hand and said sarcastically, "Your treasures are just two pieces of clothing?"
“Yes,” Wen Shu said. “If it’s lost, it will be an extra expense.”
Are you accusing me of underpaying you?
"President Li, I'm just telling you about the class difference between us. You've helped me a lot, and I'm very grateful, but I don't want to be the villain who ruins other people's relationships."
“You can call me shameless, or call me a scoundrel, but it’s not my fault. If I could, I wish I had the right to choose.”
“Zhong Wanwan ruined my life, I don’t want to become like her…”
Li Duo's sinister gaze remained fixed on her, then he stared intently into her eyes. "You hate me, don't you? I'm the one who ruined your relationship with Jiang Yuanchao!"
"Don't you want to become someone like Zhong Wanwan? From the day you begged me for you, you already were. She's always been there, while you're just a pastime for me to pass the time."
"When have you ever heard of entertainment having any kind of thought?"
Wen Shu's face was deathly pale, and her whole body trembled, but she couldn't break free from his grip.
He grabbed her wrist and said through gritted teeth, "The only one who can call a pause is me."
Wen Shu looked back at him, "President Li, is it really that interesting for you to ruin a woman?"
Li Duo laughed. "Destroy? Do you still need to destroy?"
"She gave birth out of wedlock, and with her pretty face, she had ambiguous relationships with all the men around her. She threw herself at me, begging me to take her..."
"These are things that others can't do!"
Wen Shu's teeth chattered as she looked up at him.
"The one who should be condemned for having a child out of wedlock is the cowardly and incompetent man, not me!"
"If I can make people like me because of my looks, that's my advantage."
"If someone hadn't wanted me dead, why would I have thrown myself at President Li? All I wanted from President Li was for my family to be safe."
Li Duo's eyes blazed with overwhelming anger. "You certainly know how to find excuses for your shamelessness."
"Yes! I know that in your eyes, I am not as noble as the woman beside you."
"You can have women who accompany you to different occasions and meet your different standards. But I am only one person, and I can only define myself according to my own standards."
He's really tall!
I could only look up to him.
"You can't label me just because I haven't lived the way you're used to, and then try to get my approval."
The moment she approached, Li Duo heard his heart pounding powerfully, as if it were about to leap out of his chest and rush towards the light.
“Mr. Li, I have a child, and I have to think about him. If I had known you had a fiancée, I would never have gone to you. This is my principle, and my bottom line!”
