“Whoosh…” The sound of water in the bathroom trickled sporadically.
Outside the top-floor suite of Lan Club, a tall beauty dressed in a Burberry outfit nervously knocked on the door.
Upon discovering that the door was not locked, she walked into the room.
The suite’s living room was spotless, indicating that whoever had entered had not touched anything.
Shen Siyuan looked around and quickly noticed the sound of water from the bathroom. A blush crept across her face as she pulled out a chair and sat down.
After waiting for about three minutes with no one coming out, her gaze shifted, and she looked at the pristine white bed. Hesitation flickered across her beautiful face as she lowered her head to rummage through her bag and pulled out a box of pink pills.
Rumors were swirling that Shengxiao was keeping a woman, and although she didn’t know if they were true or false, they at least suggested he wasn’t averse to women.
Thinking about her unrequited love over so many years and her parents beginning to urge her to go on arranged dates, as well as her own brother who saw her each time only to advise her to give up, Shen Siyuan’s heart twisted in agony.
She had fallen for this man the very moment she laid eyes on him, had adored him so seriously, for so long. To consider marrying another man was utterly unthinkable!
But over these years, she had hinted at her feelings countless times, both overtly and covertly, and his response had always been utterly indifferent. It was as if he didn’t understand her, even starting to avoid her. He hadn’t even come to pick her up from the airport upon her return to the country. If it weren’t for Cui Xiaosi setting up the meeting, she might not have seen him at all up until now.
If she couldn’t seize this opportunity…
Shen Siyuan’s heart pounded, her cheeks began to flush, but her eyes gradually firmed with resolve.
She stood up, found a cup, filled it with water, and dropped the pink pill into it.
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, a deep and husky male voice came from behind her.
Startled, her hand shook and she nearly spilled the water from the cup, “Nothing, not doing anything.”
After all, she was Miss Shen, and after a brief moment of panic, she quickly composed herself. Seeing the pill dissolving in the water eased her slightly. Turning around with a strained smile on her lips, she looked up at the distinguished man, “Shengxiao, I…”
Li Shengxiao had just finished showering, casually dr@ped in a hotel bathrobe, His carefree appearance starkly contrasted with the cold aura he typically projected, bewitchingly reminiscent of an aristocratic Satan in the darkness of night.
Shen Siyuan was captivated, forgetting even to speak.
Li Shengxiao glanced at the person in front of him, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, and asked, “How did you get in here? Where is Cui Jiangjing?”
How could he have let her in here?
Snapping out of her daze, Shen Siyuan hurriedly explained, “I knocked on the door and saw it wasn’t locked, so I came in. He’s probably still downstairs.”
Li Shengxiao frowned, walked past her, and casually took a seat on the couch. He pinched the bridge of his nose, and in an indifferent tone asked, “What do you want with me?”
They had barely seen each other in almost a year, and now that she had finally got to see him, he was still so distant towards her…
Shen Siyuan felt incredibly wronged. Remembering the reason for her visit, she mustered her courage and said, “Shengxiao, I saw you had a lot to drink, I was worried about you, so I came up to check on you.”
Li Shengxiao, completely unmoved by her declaration-like concern, said flatly, “I’m fine, you can go first.”
Shen Siyuan was truly upset by his cold behaviour, and this only solidified her bold intentions. Biting her lip, she looked at the man on the couch and said, “I got you a glass of water. Drink a little, it’ll help your stomach, otherwise, I really can’t stop worrying!”
