Then she stood up from her seat and looked at the garden, "Now take me to the office, I don"t want to stay in your presence anymore."She heard a sigh from behind her, then a pair of arms were draped around her waist. She wriggle to get away from his hold but he was too strong for her.
Finally huffing she gave up struggle and let him have his way with her.
"Come on... Xinyi. Here I am trying to make this work but I am the only one who is putting effort. All you do is pose..."
"Well, sorry to break it to you that"s what ladies do in courts.h.i.+p." Lei Xinyi snapped and cut him off.
Li Yuan chuckled, "I get it, Xinyi but you are being difficult for no reason."
Lei Xinyi ignored him and stayed silent but just glared at the flora garden in front of her.
Li Yaun gave out a heavy sigh then turned her around and held her by her shoulders, "Xinyi, listen carefully because I will bluntly say this only once. If I wanted her in that seat.." Pointing to the seat previously occupied by her.
"...Then I had years to make that happen I know her from before you were even born and if I wanted her as a woman who I had before me on her knees she would never be in that seat." Pointing to the seat where Su Qianwei was sitting.
"..All I am trying to clarify here is that she is a good friend and I will never abandon her because she was there in my lowest with me when you didn"t give a f*ck that I existed. You were my fiance that time too when the revolt in Li Family happened but you weren"t with me she was. So you don"t really have that kind of right to demand that I cut it off with her."
Lei Xinyi pursed her lips and solemnly nodded.
Li Yaun smiled and nodded, "Good. I don"t expect you to stay harmonious but just be... civil"
Lei Xinyi nodded again and as the mood was already killed so they decided heading back to the office was wisest thing to do.
The car was running on the road. Li Yaun wasn"t driving as his driver had arrived.
Lei Xinyi was ignoring him, looking out of the window and he was typing something on his phone.
Li Yaun glanced at her and saw her glaring at the buildings pa.s.sing by.
Li Yaun slid closer to her, "Sweetheart, talk about it." As Lei Xinyi didn"t reply him he sighed and indicated the driver to open the part.i.tion.
The feelings were too much and Lei Xinyi wanted to drown in alcohol than to deal with them.
He wasn"t hers she would leave anyway when the s.h.i.+pments arrive then why did she care who was trying to be the next Mrs. Li.
Once they were in privacy he turned her around to him and made him look at her, "What is it, Xinyi? What is it that you are feeling?"
Lei Xinyi wriggled out of his hold and Li Yaun let her.
"Aarrggh... i feel frustrated by all this. This new life makes me feel claustrophobic and this, this overly expensive dress make me feel suffocated."
Li Yuan a.s.sumed she meant by new life the office and all.
Li Yaun smirked and pulled her to him so she was on his lap, his hand resting on her thighs "I can always help you get out of it."
Lei Xinyi punched his chest, "Shameless! I am not really feeling good. I...I feel restless!"
Li Yaun chuckled at her attack, then said in a husky tone close to her ear as his hand slid to her a.s.s "Sweetheart, you are in luck. I happen to know something more relaxing than yoga."
Lein Xinyi groaned and tried to push him away, "Shameless! You are such a pervert!"
Li Yuan chuckled and hugged her close, "Calm down my little Raven. We will only do pg-13 from now, OK?"
Finally, Lei Xinyi laugh broke out at his comment, "Yeah, we should totally do that it. I heard it"s romantic."
LI Yaun chest vibrated with his chuckle.
Once the star crossed lovers were cool they went their own ways in the office.
Lei Xinyi arrived on her desk and after sitting for a while decided to visit the restroom.
Standing in front of the mirror all Lei Xinyi saw was a messy b.i.t.c.h. Taking out her compact she started reapplying her make up.
From the corner of her eyes Lei Xinyi saw a figure of a woman leaning against the wall but did nothing to humor her.
She reapplied mascara, then gloss and even contoured her face again.
"That"s it Lei Xinyi. You look like a rotter-s.l.u.t already." The woman said without humor.
Lei Xinyi shrugged, "Well, now that"s rich coming from you, "Weiwei"."
Su Qianwei didn"t hide her tightened jaw or rotten mood, "Cut the s.h.i.+t. We need to talk."
Lei Xinyi nodded and put her things in the bag.
"Unfortunately we do. So let"s get somewhere private."
