Li Yunqian squeezed out those questions through gritted teeth.
Shi Lijia was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Li, even if they took pictures of you, they wouldn't dare to publish them..."
Who dares to provoke this King of Hell?
Previously, when his business interview with Ning Yi was featured in the news, some marketing accounts wrote headlines like "golden couple," leading netizens to speculate about their relationship.
President Li hired a lawyer and sued them so badly that he didn't know how much money they had to pay.
Who would dare to spread rumors about him now?
Isn't that like provoking the gods and ruining your own wallet?
Li Yunqian's face was cold and stern as he slammed down the phone.
Shen Zhiyi returned from the celebration banquet.
Just as I was about to unlock the door, I heard a noise from behind.
She turned around and looked—
Li Yunqian stood by the half-open door, staring at her with a resentful look.
"Little darling, have you been drinking?"
He smelled a hint of alcohol, went through the door, and walked up to her.
Shen Zhiyi leaned against the door and looked up at him.
Just a few drinks.
She glanced at the open door behind him, raising an eyebrow. "Waiting for me?"
Li Yunqian's gaze fell, staring at her slightly tipsy face for a long time, before suddenly lowering his shoulder, wrapping his arm around her, and pulling her into his embrace.
"Um... what are you doing..." Shen Zhiyi moved.
"I've been waiting for you." Li Yunqian bent down and hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to embed her entirely in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I've been waiting for you all this time."
"Wait until you come back from drinking with other men, wait until your and my names appear in the fabricated rumors they make up."
"But...there's nothing there."
Hearing his dejected tone, and thinking about the rumors circulating about her online recently, Shen Zhiyi smiled and patted him on the back, her eyes still gleaming with the effects of alcohol.
"Those are just things made up by marketing accounts, ignore them."
"I don't care."
Li Yunqian's expression was somber. "But I care."
"They're writing nonsense about you; I'm suing them all tomorrow."
"Little darling, I just want to know..." He released her, gripped her shoulders, and looked directly into her eyes with his deep gaze, carefully asking, "Of all those men, was any of them real?"
"Do you have any other thoughts about any of them?" he asked anxiously, almost holding his breath.
Shen Zhiyi looked up and gazed at his face.
His usually composed expression had lost its usual calm, revealing a hint of panic that was now clearly visible.
She was probably drunk, and she actually felt a kind of exhilarating pleasure from disrupting the order.
Thinking of what was hidden in his pocket, Shen Zhiyi teased him deliberately, "Just go about your business, why bother with them?"
"If I like someone else, will you give up?"
Li Yunqian's dark pupils narrowed, and he slightly increased the pressure on her shoulders.
He suddenly lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then raised his eyelashes to look at her again, maintaining a calm expression on his face, but his chest was heaving uncontrollably.
"Sweetie, stop playing with me."
His voice was low and hoarse, pleading, "You know perfectly well that no matter what, I will never let go."
His gaze inadvertently fell on her coat pocket.
In the left pocket, there was a bulge, the shape of which looked like...
His pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank.
He reached into her pocket and took something out.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Shen Zhiyi raised her hand to snatch it, but Li Yunqian dodged it with a side elbow.
He stared at the ring box in his hand, his face drained of color.
"What is this?" He pursed his thin lips, his voice trembling. He raised his thumb, opened the box, and saw the ring inside. His vision blurred.
"You...accepted someone else's marriage proposal?" He looked down at her in disbelief, forcing out each word with difficulty.
His gaze was like the surface of the sea before a storm, fixing her firmly in his eyes.
"Who is it?!" He suddenly moved closer, his knuckles gripping her shoulders tightly, and repeated, "Tell me, who is that man?!"
Shen Zhiyi frowned and shrank back.
"Li Yunqian, you're hurting me."
As if burned by these words, Li Yunqian hurriedly let go, and the arm that had been holding the ring box fell to the ground.
He took a step forward, grabbed her tightly, and used all his strength to press her against the door and into his embrace. His voice trembled, and tears fell onto her shoulder.
"My darling... don't leave me..."
Why did you promise it to someone?
"Is there something wrong with me? Tell me, what did I do wrong, what wasn't good enough, and I can change it..."
"Don't look for anyone else..."
"Li Yunqian..." Shen Zhiyi's waist was tightly locked by him, and her face was buried in his pectoral muscles. She said, her face flushed, "I can't breathe..."
Li Yunqian closed his eyes in pain.
After a difficult internal struggle, I finally gave in.
He seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, and although he loosened his arms slightly, he still held her close in his embrace.
He gently stroked the back of her head, his voice hoarse, and whispered, "Even if you find someone else, you must not leave me behind."
"My darling, no matter what the reason, I will stay by your side."
"I'd rather die than leave."
Shen Zhiyi was shocked and grabbed his sleeve, "You...you're going to be a mistress?"
She looked up abruptly and glanced at his face.
His long bangs fell down, covering his sharp eyebrows and casting a dark shadow on his face.
There were dried tear stains on her chin.
"It was Xiao Guai who forced me to do this." His tone calmed down, but the pressure around him was low and frightening. "I'll accept whatever title you want to give me."
"As long as I can be by your side."
"You can lose anyone, but you can't lose me."
Shen Zhiyi was deeply shaken.
