Once in front of the door to the CEO"s office, a.s.sistant Ji knocked on the door and motioned Lei Xinyi to walk inside. Lei Xinyi pursed her lips and As if a switch was flipped and Lei Xinyi was back in her character.As she was back in her acting mode, she realized she couldn"t risk getting revealed. No matter how angry she was.
Ushering Lei Xinyi in a.s.sistant Ji entered afterward. Lei Xinyi pa.s.sed a grieved look with unshed tears to Li Yuan, who was furiously typing on his computer but paused looking at Lei Xinyi.
Lei Xinyi saw the man with broad shoulders and intimidating but handsome features. No wonder girls dropped on his feet, the man had a s.e.x appeal to die for and an aura that screamed danger zone from miles away.
Li Yuan thought she would come in his office raising a tantrum and issuing threats but looking at her Damsel"s grievance card Li Yuan smirked inside and decided to play concerned lover"s card.
The woman was smarter than he thought. A hard nut to crack! But he always welcomes a challenge. He would make this woman submit all her cleverness in front of him.
Getting up from his chair, he walked toward Lei Xinyi than gave her a lingering look, then held her by her shoulder. With a doting smile, he asked in surprise, "Lu Xinyi?! You! How come you are here?"
Then suddenly as if being astonished, he asked in utter surprise, with a faked rage, "What happened to you?! Did someone hurt you?! Are you Okay?!"
After the momentary shock, Lei Xinyi grasped the situation. She was more expecting a cold, stoic man who will talk to her with rigidness and shun her gentlemanly.
Then gritting her teeth inwardly, she thought, "So now that fu*ker after humiliating her for almost two hours wanted to pa.s.s her like a joke."
Bursting out in a pool of fake tears, She said through her sobs, "No I am not fine. You hurt me. I waited alone in that cold lobby for almost two hours for my own fiancé only to be humiliated. And hear your secretariat gossip about how I was your shunned hook-up."
Li Yuan almost had the urge to smirk at the little fox in his arms and her direct approach and sarcasm, but giving her a concerned look he cupped her face and he said guiltily.
"My dear sweetheart, I swear it slipped out of my mind because of work that it was going to be your first day. You can ask Ji Zhou how I had been over the moon to know about your arrival last week."
He Indicated to the stiff-stunned Ji Zhou, who was shocked by the cunning and treacherous man and crafty and sly woman acting all coy as lovers, knowing how they both were spitting venom for each other behind each other"s back but nodded nonetheless.
"Baby girl, I would never hurt you intentionally. If I had known I would come to fetch you myself." then he hugged her tightly to his chest.
Lei Xinyi had the urge to gag at his sweet behavior. He was being too affectionate and she could bet her whole life it was fake.
The man was really something else he was d.a.m.n sharp at altering the situation that she felt like smacking his face. But she who was an expert knew better than to provoke him.
She had witnessed his destructive ways and knew the man wasn"t to be trifled with.
No matter what game he plays she has to play along. She already has Yu Youhan on her tails, she couldn"t afford him.
The only difference between the two terrifying men were their exteriors.
While Yu Youhan was upright cold and liked to strike and kill causing ultimate demise without mercy, Li Yuan liked to play with his prey till submission then strike. Destroying man emotionally to never recover.
"Fu*king snake! If she hadn"t heard the receptionist give him a call, she would have believed this b.a.s.t.a.r.d." She thought.
But she knew she should play along as she was the naïve Lu Xinyi. She couldn"t risk alerting this man. Thinking of the consequence gave her gooseb.u.mps.
So, all she could do to vent her anger was bang his chest as she wept on his chest.
Li Yuan smirked at her fists-banging that hardly hurt him but he had to say she had a good strength for a girl and of course good stamina...
As he rubbed her back and said soothing words he could feel the deep curves she had and his smirk widened as his hand slid further downward...
Lei Xinyi felt his hand on her lower back moving to her a.s.s.
She rolled her eyes on his chest "Typical b.a.s.t.a.r.d" and detached herself from his embrace while doing so stomped her feet on his foot "accidentally" while regaining her balance.
"Sorry…"
Li Yuan fake-guiltily cut her off then said, "Its okay Baby. I deserve worse to let you suffer through this." As he said that Lei Xinyi could detect the mock amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice.
Clenching her fists, she said, in a sickly sweet voice, "It"s Okay I overreacted too. I am sorry."
Li Yuan let out a dramatic sigh, as he led her to the sofa in his office and then said with sham sincerity, in his deep masculine voice "I am really sorry Lu Xinyi. I never thought this will be how my meeting with the woman who haunts my dreams be like. I promise to make it up to you."
