Chapter 103 - 103: 103: Hooked Up with a Golden Leg
Li Shengxiao had never taken care of anyone before; he clumsily supported her with one hand and helped her catch her breath with the other. A flash of annoyance swept through his eagle-like eyes, “How is it? Feeling any better?”
“…Li Shengxiao?”
Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, startling her.
“It’s me. Do you still want some water?” Li Shengxiao carefully asked, supporting her.
Rong Yan hesitated at the sight of the water cup within reach. Her throat was clamoring for a drink, but her neck felt so cold; she feared he might again pour too much over it.
“Don’t want to drink anymore?”
Li Shengxiao looked at her pale little face and bloodless lips, and his heart suddenly clenched. He tilted his head back to drink the water from the cup, then leaned down and pressed his thin lips to hers.
“Mmph!”
Rong Yan’s eyes widened in shock, without the slightest strength to resist; her lips were pried apart. The warm water flowed gently into her mouth. Due to the dryness, her throat naturally swallowed, like a little bird eagerly awaiting feeding.
One did not know how long it lasted, but the man finally drew back his thin lips from hers, leaving a trace of a silvery line—unspeakably sensual and provocative!
“Do you want more?” Under the light, his resolute profile softened, his eagle eyes intensely focused on her as if she were the only one he could see,
“Yanyan.”
His tone was as elegant as the strings of a cello, low and husky with an indescribable tenderness.
Rong Yan’s heartstrings trembled at his allure; she nearly caved but shook her head instead.
Li Shengxiao put down the cup, turned around, and directly told her, “The one who injured you this time was Gao Kai; I’ve already dealt with the Gao family, and I’ve crippled the leg that he used to kick you. There’s still one or two others involved in this matter that I haven’t touched yet. Do you want to handle that person yourself, or shall I do it?”
His thin lips barely moved; his tone was cold and dominant, “They hurt you, and for that reason alone, I won’t spare them if I take action. So, think it through.”
He had no intention of hiding anything from Rong Yan, speaking openly and dominantly.
In reality, even if Rong Yan dealt with it herself, he would not let off those who hurt her, which is why he had issued the ban.
Jiang Meiqi and Old Madam Jiang plotted against Rong Yan for Rong Weiwei’s movie, huh? Ha… A cold smirk spilled from the corners of Li Shengxiao’s eyes— they thought they could hurt Rong Yan and still have Rong Weiwei shoot that movie?
Rong Yan listened carefully to his words, blinked, and her mind began to function fully again. She was not in a hurry to answer his question but instead looked at the authoritative and noble man with a challenge, “Li Shengxiao, are you taking up for me?”
Li Shengxiao, seeing her seldomly playing dumb, looked on with profound eyes and countered, “What do you think?” “Or are you having second thoughts?”
“What?”
Li Shengxiao’s eyes grew deep and darkened inch by inch, “You said you wanted to have a relationship with me. I am now your boyfriend, and protecting you is my responsibility as a man!”
Jeez—forgive her for never having enjoyed the feeling of being protected by a boyfriend before. In the past, Shi Mufeng was her boyfriend, but in reality, he was more like Rong Weiwei’s boyfriend.
So, even though Rong Yan now had Li Duidui, in truth, she had never been in a proper relationship.
In the past, she bore all her bleeding and tears alone, never thinking of relying on someone else. This man suddenly asserted himself into her life, inexplicably married her with a certificate, and she was still a bit lost in the whirlwind.
Right, Li Shengxiao is now her boyfriend, and even more, her legally-wed, secret husband! Rong Yan suddenly felt like she had hugged a big golden leg..
