Chapter 1402: Chapter 1403: The Hidden Pearl Begins to Shine
Li Shengxiao steadied his breathing, his voice being huskier, one hand pressing on her shoulder. Her delicate shoulders seemed so frail, so in need of protection, yet the things she did were even stronger and more decisive than the average man.
Take this Lemon Entertainment incident, for example; she could have simply asked him for help. For him, dealing with someone like Gu Zekai was nothing more than the flick of a wrist.
Yet, she preferred to concoct her traps, matching wits and courage with those people, rather than asking for his assistance.
Li Shengxiao couldn’t sort out the taste in his heart.
On one hand, there was an undeniable sense of loss because she hadn’t turned to him. On the other, he felt pride deep within for her resilience and capability.
He couldn’t express the swelling pride in his heart, for he had never felt such strong emotions for anyone before.
It was as if the pearl he’d been guarding was dusting off its surface, glowing and heating up, making everyone see it!
Meanwhile, as she begins to shine, she will bee dazzling, and he can no longer hide her; more and more men will notice her beauty. Just like the three men sitting with her tonight, no matter how well they hid it, they couldn’t disguise the interest in their eyes!
Li Shengxiao suddenly felt a tightening in his throat again, his hand pressing down on her shoulder exerted more strength, trapping her under his wing, his voice husky and deep. The deep eagle-like eyes seemed to only reflect her image—as profound and devoted, “Why not ask for my help? Yanyan, isn’t it good to have my help? I am your boyfriend, even your… husband. I can protect you and have the capability to resolve any difficulties you might encounter. For someone like Gu Zekai, he’s nothing but a flick of my wrist for me; you didn’t need to put in so much effort.”
Rong Yan’s heart, which was wildly thumping, gradually calmed down. She gazed at him with her strikingly clear eyes, saw his deep brows furrow together, his handsome face filled with confusion, as if her not asking for his help was an insurmountable puzzle to him.
Rong Yan blinked her eyes, suddenly breaking free, moved her arms that were encircling his waist up to his neck, and smiled, her expression as bright as the spring sun, breezily saying, “There’s no reason, really. Why must there always be a why? The reason is simple; not asking for your help doesn’t mean I don’t see you as my boyfriend, it’s because I see you as the person I like, that’s why I didn’t ask for your help!”
Li Shengxiao’s brows were even more tightly furrowed, seeming to understand her less.
Don’t all women wish for their boyfriend or husband to protect them? Why is it the plete opposite with her?
Rong Yan, as if catching on to what he was thinking, tilted up the corners of her mouth, gently saying, “You can protect me for a moment, but you can’t protect me every second. There will always be times I need to face difficulties alone. I know you want to protect me and would surely do so at all times. But the problem is me; I don’t want to bee a burden to you. Li Shengxiao, really, I don’t want to bee your drag. I told you, just slow down a bit, and I’ll run fast towards you. It might just take a bit longer. But looking at the current progress, it seems to be going quite smoothly. With this trend, you won’t have to wait too long before I’m right there in front of you!”
She knew she couldn’t possibly walk shoulder to shoulder with him in the business world!
Even for a business genius like him, the Li Group was built to this height through the joint effort of several generations.
