Chapter 107 Pure and Immaculate
Li Zifeng escorted Bai Zhenzhu home. He put on the men's slippers his assistant had brought him, took off his coat and put it on the coat hanger by the door, tugged at his shirt collar, and took a sip of iced cola to calm his nerves.
He looked at Bai Zhenzhu with a deep gaze, and after a long pause, he spoke seriously: "Zhenzhu, who is he? What is your relationship with him?"
Although he wasn't one to dwell on the past, and he had had several ex-girlfriends, his sixth sense told him that Shi Jin wasn't just any ex, and that their entanglement might be deeper than he imagined.
Bai Zhenzhu nonchalantly picked up a strawberry from the table, ate one, and even smacked her lips a few times in enjoyment.
With Li Zifeng's gradually weathering body and increasingly distorted face, he spoke slowly and deliberately: "Are you judging me?"
Li Zifeng's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Bai Zhenzhu would be angry, but at the same time, he was eager to know the truth.
In the end, reason prevailed over emotion.
To defend his male dignity, he said firmly, "Pearl, I am your boyfriend now, and I have the right to know about your past with him."
"But I've never asked you about your past. How many ex-girlfriends have you had? How many rumored lovers have you had in the entertainment industry? How many kissing scenes have you filmed? Have you ever had a physical reaction when filming intimate scenes? I've never questioned you about any of these things. Li Zifeng, since you want to talk about it, let's be frank and talk about everything today."
This seemingly calm and gentle tone sent chills down Li Zifeng's spine.
Li Zifeng thought about his exes, almost all of whom were in the entertainment industry. If he told Bai Zhenzhu, what would she think of him?
"Pearl, I will tell you all this slowly in the future. Besides, I have always had normal relationships and I have a clear conscience."
"Since you have a clear conscience, then speak up. I'm listening."
How did he suddenly become passive during the conversation? Shouldn't today be Bai Zhenzhu's turn to confess?
After all, he had been a young master since childhood, and he was still a bit arrogant at heart. He couldn't let her lead him by the nose.
"Pearl, you speak first." The tone left no room for argument, as if giving a command to White Pearl.
Bai Zhenzhu was still scrolling through her phone when she suddenly looked up and met his eyes, which were full of curiosity. She didn't want to argue with him anymore.
So she said calmly, "Three years ago, I... we were together, I was his mistress... he was my first man..."
She felt she had been very honest, and Li Zifeng shouldn't continue making unreasonable demands.
But when Li Zifeng heard "lover" and "first man," his anger reached its peak.
He couldn't help feeling upset and jealous whenever he thought about how Bai Zhenzhu had once belonged to another man.
He even wanted to kill Shi Jin.
"White Pearl! It's been three years, and you won't let me touch you, yet you've been with him?! I always thought you were a pure and innocent woman, so I respected and cherished you, but how could you do this to me! How could you be so shameless as to be his mistress!"
Bai Zhenzhu could only describe her feelings as dumbfounded. Although she did not love Li Zifeng, she found it hard to imagine that in this day and age, there were still men with such absurd ideas as virginity complex.
She was saddened by being a woman!
"Li Zifeng! Whether I'm pure or not is none of your business. That's my freedom, my choice. I like being someone's mistress, so what? There's no law that says I can't, right? And don't you know why I won't let you touch me? Because I'm just not interested in you at all!"
Bai Zhenzhu's chest heaved violently with anger. Pointing towards the door, she shouted, "Get out of my house now! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Li Zifeng, who had been kicked out by Bai Zhenzhu, heard the loud slam of the door and his escaped soul finally returned.
Suddenly I realized what beastly things I had just said.
He slapped himself hard across the face.
Then she pounded on the door and apologized frantically, saying, "Pearl, I'm so sorry. I must have been crazy just now. I didn't mean it that way. I just loved you and cared about you so much that I said things without thinking. Please forgive me."
Ignoring Li Zifeng's apologies outside the door, Bai Zhenzhu put on a Bluetooth headset, opened a music app, and started playing upbeat music.
It shut out the noise from outside and also improved my mood.
Li Zifeng's voice became hoarse from shouting, but the door still didn't open.
He had no choice but to send a WeChat message.
Pearl, I really know I was wrong. I'll come see you again tomorrow. Get some rest. Goodnight.
His reply was a red exclamation mark.
He's been blocked!
...
The next day, Bai Zhenzhu went to the studio as usual.
While waiting for the elevator, he suddenly ran into Shi Jin's fiancée, Mai Mai.
MaiMai's law firm is also located in this office building.
Bai Zhenzhu was curious and glanced at her again.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and she looked away.
Just as I was about to go in, I heard Mai Mai excitedly say, "White Pearl! I can't believe I met you here!"
Bai Zhenzhu frowned. The two of them didn't know each other at all. Although she had seen Shi Jin several times before, they were not familiar with each other at all.
She nodded and smiled, which was her way of responding to her enthusiasm.
But Mai Mai seemed to deliberately misunderstand her aloofness, and went even further, grabbing her arm and shaking it, saying, "White Pearl Painter, I'm your fan. My fiancé bought your painting at the last charity auction. I really like you. Can I take a picture with you?"
Bai Zhenzhu looked at Mai Mai as if she were a weirdo. "If you knew that I was your fiancé's mistress, would you still like me? Would you like to take a picture with me?"
As the elevator doors closed, Bai Zhenzhu thought that since it would take some time to wait for the next elevator anyway, she might as well give in to Shi Jin's wishes and maybe even annoy him.
Although what happened last night made her very disappointed in Li Zifeng, she actually harbored even more resentment towards Shi Jin.
If he hadn't been so talkative, would she have ended up in this predicament?
Since Shi Jin won't let her have an easy time, she won't let Shi Jin have an easy time either.
Therefore, the way he looked at Mai Mai became more calculating.
