The Crippled Boss Loves Me

683 Love Brain

Zhuang Li was unaware of Shen Hanxing’s internal evaluation of him. When he heard her speak, he frowned and said rather dismissively in a cold tone, “What does Mrs. Ji want to do by stopping my girlfriend?” He deliberately emphasized the words “my girlfriend”, and a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes. He knew how Shen Hanxing had slandered him in front of Wei Xi’er, but so what if she were to say more? Didn’t Wei Xi’er still prostrate herself in front of him in the end and distanced herself from her so-called friend, Shen Hanxing? This scheming and vicious woman had suffered such a big loss. Who knew how unhappy she was! Zhuang Li felt much better when he thought about how Shen Hanxing would get angry over this. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably as he looked at Shen Hanxing and sneered. “Could it be that Mrs. Ji is going to tell Wei Xi’er to stay away from a scumbag like me?” After he finished, Zhuang Li seemed to find it funny and laughed out loud first, his voice full of ridicule.

Shen Hanxing’s expression darkened, and even Wei Xi’er could not help but look a little embarrassed. She tugged at Zhuang Li’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Zhuang Li, don’t be like this…” She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She did not even dare to look at Shen Hanxing’s expression. Zhuang Li’s words were like a fire burning her. It was as if she had gone to Shen Hanxing for solace when she had fallen out of love, but had kicked her away after she had reconciled with her boyfriend. She had even said bad things about Shen Hanxing to her boyfriend. What a pure love brain. This made Wei Xi’er’s cheeks turn red, and she was somewhat ashamed. She didn’t know why, but whenever Zhuang Li smiled at her and said some sweet words to her, her mind would go blank and she would subconsciously do things that didn’t seem like something she would do. It was as if she somehow felt that she did not deserve to have Zhuang Li who was in front of her. Now that she had Zhuang Li’s affection, she should give him everything she had. She should kneel at his feet and give him everything.

In the dead of the night, Wei Xi’er would often be shocked by her inexplicable self-depreciating thoughts. She often laughed at herself and thought that she probably loved Zhuang Li too much, which was why she held Zhuang Li so high and made her unlike herself. She had seemed to use up all of her rationality in order to not drag Wei Corporation down with her. She had not become Zhuang Li’s stepping stone. She had not betrayed Shen Hanxing nor badmouthed her to Zhuang Li. However, she had occasionally let slip a few words due to Zhuang Li’s coaxing, which she regretted.

“Wei Xi’er, forgive me for speaking a little impulsively.” Zhuang Li grabbed Wei Xi’er’s hand, his eyes gentle. He lowered his voice and said softly, “But I can’t accept a life without you, and I can’t imagine you leaving me. Anyone who wants to break us up is an enemy in my eyes, so towards them I can’t be polite and respectful. You can understand where I’m coming from, right?”

Understand him? Wei Xi’er looked up and met Zhuang Li’s eyes. She saw her small reflection in his pupils. This feeling was really mesmerizing, as if she was his whole world, being watched and cherished by him, and his only one. Wei Xi’er couldn’t help but think, that’s right, what did Zhuang Li do wrong? He just loved her too much and didn’t want to lose her. After all, Zhuang Li could even give up his life for her! Zhuang Li had never been the one in the wrong, it was herself. She should have kept her mouth shut and not blurted out Shen Hanxing’s warnings when Zhuang Li had asked, in the end causing him to be so displeased with Shen Hanxing. Zhuang Li loved her very much, so what was wrong with loving someone?

“Zhuang Li, I understand what you’re thinking.” Wei Xi’er raised her hand to block Zhuang Li’s lips, not allowing him to say those words that would make her heart ache. She looked at Zhuang Li and said gently,”Mrs. Ji didn’t mean it that way. Don’t mind it too much and blame me instead. I was the one who spoke nonsense and caused you to misunderstand Mrs. Ji.”

“No, I’m not mistaken.” A sinister expression flashed across Zhuang Li’s face. He didn’t hide his unhappiness at all and said coldly, “I hate anyone who asks you to leave me. I didn’t misunderstand Shen Hanxing. Xi’er, I know you’re a kind girl, so can you stop speaking up for Shen Hanxing? Do you know how important you are to me? if you speak up for Shen Hanxing, you’ll be speaking up for my enemy. You’re practically hurting my feelings.”
