Chapter Four
Not long after, Li YongXuan was outside the door of a business suite in a five-star hotel. As she raised her hand to knock, she hesitated , wondering if she should ring the bell instead.
Because someone's face flashed in her mind.
A face where the expression was a mix of puzzlement, disappointment, even a bit of anger. A face that was normally remote.
Finally, he had just walked away as she hung up the phone, inexplicably making here feel anxious.
She needed to fix it quickly ! If things didn’t work out, could she depend on others ?
She pressed the doorbell.
She waited for a while but there was no answer .
She had almost given up and as she turned around, she heard the sound of a heavy door opening.
" Hey, you really came !" Liang Wen He said with surprise as he propped the door open .
She could smell the alcohol on his breath almost immediately.
Li Yongxuan subconsciously frowned and took a step back.
" Was the director resting ? I’m sorry for the trouble. I left something .."
Liang Wen He frowned; he seemed to have difficulty in understanding what she was saying.
" Why are you acting so formally ? Didn’t we have a nice chat at dinner ? Why don’t you come in and sit down ?"
" I really don’t want to bother you. My scarf…"
Liang Wen He turned and with a gesture that meant "please" he walked in.
" The scarf is over there on the table. You can take it."
She could see the scarf on the marble top. She wanted to leave immediately.
" Since you’ve come here, have a drink with me. You didn’t even have a drop at dinner, I’m very disappointed."
He poured two gla.s.ses of wine.
" .. But it’s really late.."
" Why ? Is someone waiting for you?"he asked casually.
The sentence was like an arrow to her heart. Yes, really, there was no one waiting for her.
Because at a very young age, she had lost both her parents. Her aunt had brought her up. Her aunt was a single lady , it hadn’t been easy for her to raise a juvenile niece at an old age. She worked late every day. So Li Yongxuan had never experienced the warm feeling of homecoming to a waiting family.
(Miumiu : aww.. poor girl. My heart breaks for her)
Looking at her bleak face, Liang Wen He smiled and handed her a gla.s.s of wine.
She shook her head and declined, and he put the gla.s.s on the table in front of her.
" Just sit with me, I want to talk to you for a while." He went to the luxury lambskin sofa and sat down, then patted the seat beside him, inviting her to sit next to him.
But hadn’t they already talked a lot at dinner ? And later, they had nothing more to say. She and Mr Liang were from two very different strata of society, their lives had no commonalities, it was really difficult to find topics to chat about.
" I am surprised you are twenty-nine. I really cannot see it", Liang Wenhe broke the silence as he sipped his wine,
His smile was still very attractive, his eyes radiated power, but Li Yongxuan could not relax. She sat with her back straight as an arrow while her hands kept twisting the scarf, pulling it tighter and tighter..
" Don’t be so nervous", Liang Wen He leaned over and patted her hand. Then he picked up her gla.s.s and very gently placed it near her lips, coaxing her, " Come, drink a little bit, you will feel relaxed."
" I don’t want to", she reared back in panic, violently shaking her head as she refused.
At her reaction, the gla.s.s tipped and wine spilled on her dress.
The wine had spilled on her chest, and the wet dress moulded closely to her curves. There were drops of wine on her neck, and the dark streaks of wine made her neck seem a tender, alluring white.
Liang Wen He leaned closer. His lips touched her neck, gently sucking the wine drops.
" At the age of twenty nine, you are already a mature woman. Why don’t you stay with me tonight?"
For a moment, Li Yongxuan's mind was completely blank. She couldn’t react.
This, this was the person she had a crush in for several years ?
If she really loved him, wasn’t this a great opportunity ?
But .. why then did she have goose b.u.mps all over her body and her neck felt as if a caterpillar was crawling on it ?
She had no time to think of her next step.
Almost without conscious thought, she pushed out her elbow to shut him up.
" Oof!" Liang Wen He was. .h.i.t squarely on his chest and his shout of pain could be clearly heard.
She jumped up." I’m sorry .. I wasn’t..Director are you alright ?"
" Yes, I’m almost dying", he looked up, his face a picture of melancholy.
He pulled her hand to his chest, " You broke my heart. How are you going to repay me ?"
G.o.d ! Now it wasn’t just good b.u.mps, she was completely unnerved. She quickly moved away
" I’m sorry., I really need to go now."
" Are you sure you won’t stay ?" Liang Wen He slowly moved behind her, " If you leave now, the consequences of this…"
Was this a subtle threat ?
Li Yongxuan hesitated for a moment. Her hand rested on the door handle for a moment, wondering whether to open it …
Ding dong, ding dong., the bell suddenly started ringing crazily,
Li Yongxuan's nerves were already stretched to the limit. At this moment, the sound of the bell alarmed her and she immediately pulled open the door.
A pair of amber eyes stared at her fiercely.
The two of them stared at each other , stunned.
Mai Wei Zhe's finger was still on the doorbell, the luxury suite was filled with the loud sound of the bell ringing.
" Why are you standing at the door ?"
" Let’s go", she did not waste any time to say more or to explain. She walked out of the room, pulled the door shut and made her way towards the elevator.
She was walking so fast that she stumbled and almost fell.
Immediately, Mai Wei Zhe caught her.
He could smell wine on her.
His eyebrows scrunched, " Have you been drinking?"
She did not speak and simply shook her head violently. As the elevator door opened, she rushed inside.
Mai Wei Zhe pressed the b.u.t.ton for the ground floor. He looked back at her to find her leaning against the wall, her face white as paper.
Also, there were obvious kiss marks in her neck.
" You…"
"Don’t say anything , ok ?" Li Yongxuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath," just…just give me a little time."
She needed to sort out her mood.
In her current fragile state, she couldn’t contend with Mai Wei Zhe who would surely say something to belittle her.
If he spoke sarcastically, she would surely start crying,
Mai Wei Zhe, unlike his normal behaviour, kept quiet.
Until the elevator arrived at the ground floor, he hadn’t said a word.
Just outside the elevator, a very familiar person was waiting, Li Yongxuan regained her senses- wasn’t this the security personnel who was with Mai Wei Zhe for his protection ?
" Why did you come here ? Isn’t this dangerous ? Won’t the coach punish you?"
She suddenly turned to him and asked.
During the game, players were on curfew. If they were out after lights out, it was considered a big disciplinary issue and they would be punished !!
Moreover, he had just received a death threat-
" You worry about yourself first. How can you worry about me ? You act recklessly, then try to flee with a frightened face !" Mai Wei Zhe had also returned to his normal behaviour and fired his first salvo at her aggressively. " You visit a man in his hotel room at the middle of the night, did you think you would play Sudoku ? Haven’t you heard of his many scandals ? Or are you like those no- brained little girls, thinking you can control him ?"
She was stunned. Flus.h.i.+ng red from head to toe,she looked at him.
" I am thirty years old." Under no circ.u.mstances, could she be called a "little girl".
" How did you live to be thirty ? How could you be so stupid ?" he reverted angrily.
He didn’t have to scold her so viciously, right ?
She pursed her lips.
Seeing his boss scolding her so fiercely, the security staff moved away to the side, his face full of embarra.s.sment.
She walked out. Outside the gla.s.s doors, the cool night wind calmed her down a lot. She thought he had taken a huge risk, and her doubts increased.
" Why did you come here ?" This was her first question.
" I moved to a hotel in the neighbourhood", he said, " I was planning to get some dinner?"
This was of course nonsense. Just before a big game, the body fat needed to be maintained at five percent, how could he eat dinner outside ?
Looking at the unbelieving expression on her face, Mai Wei Zhe simply ignored her and walked towards the waiting car, banging the door shut for good effect,
Li Yongxuan stared at the gray car,
Through the dark gla.s.s, she could see his face looking haughty and unhappy,
" He was very worried about you. Just as soon as we reached the hotel, we immediately came out. We had to find out where Mr Liang was staying ." The security staff suddenly remembered," You …are you ok ? Were you…"
Perhaps the way she looked was very obvious, even a stranger was asking her if everything was fine.
" I’m fine, thank you."
" You should thank him", the bodyguard jerked his head towards the window.
Yes, she really should thank him. In fact, at this moment, her heart was full of grat.i.tude and an indescribable feeling of warmth.
Because he was worried, he had come chasing after her.
When was the last time anyone was so concerned about her ? She really couldn’t remember.
As she opened the door, she said , " If this impacts your game tomorrow, I will never speak to you again."
" I don’t have a game tomorrow ", Mai Wei Zhe arrogantly replied," even if there were , it is impossible for such a small thing to affect the results !"
His words were so harsh.
Who was the person who , seeing her with Director Liang, had not only spewed fire through his eyes, but had almost gone into a brutal fight with his opponent ?
Li Yongxuan did not say anything but quietly sat in the car beside him.
In the next moment, a sports jacket was thrown over her body.
She took it, and looked sideways at him. He was angrily looking out of the window, completely refusing to look at her.
Outside the window, it was very dark. What was he looking at ?
Silently , she wore the coat, zipping it up all the way to her chin, tightly wrapping herself. With her body now finally feeling warm, the panic she was feeling gradually dispersed.
The car slowly glided through the night,
After the torments of the day , she suddenly felt a wave of tiredness wash over her. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh..
For a long time, there was no sound in the car.
" Stupid woman" , Mai Wei Zhe suddenly whispered . The bodyguard driving the car glanced back at the two people sitting in the backseat.
Sure enough, Miss Li had fallen asleep.
Her delicate face, although still very pale, looked relaxed. Her eyebrows were straightened and the frightened expression on her face had disappeared.
He head was tilted, and unconsciously, resting on the shoulders of her co- pa.s.senger.
And the harsh mouthed ruffian, the player whose bad temperament was well known to all the people in speed skating, had propped his chin on one hand while keeping his other shoulder motionless so that someone could use it as her pillow.
She actually didn’t remember much of what happened afterwards. But she was sent safely back home. And she was grateful to Mai Wei Xhe for this. Although he had been angry with her and had refused to speak to her, he had still sent her safely back home before returning to the hotel.
