Chapter Twenty-Three: Do You Love Me?
When the car stopped, I came to my senses and realized that it was actually a bridge to a building.
Ali whispered, "Get out of the car." β
I looked at Ali strangely, why is it here?
Ali didn't explain, but said, "Go up." You'll know when you go. β
His voice was a little tired.
He took me to the doorman and said that his surname was Cheng and that he had made an appointment with Mr. Yuan.
The doorman nodded, and he pulled me to the elevator, pressed the elevator, and said, "Now you go up by yourself, he is on the 23rd floor, bridge to the general manager's office, and I will wait for you downstairs." β
I nodded, and was about to get into the elevator.
"Li Ji..."Ali suddenly stopped me.
When I turned around, Ali's face was dark, his eyes were fixed on me, he wanted to say something but he didn't say anything, he just walked in, helped me cut my hair, and said, "Okay, go up." β
"Aliβ" I turned and called him softly. There was a faint sadness around him, which made me a little overwhelmed. My nose is a little sour, Ali, you are good to me, I will remember it for the rest of my life.
He smiled reluctantly and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you downstairs." β
I turned around and walked into the elevator, pressed the elevator, and the moment the elevator door closed, I saw Ali's back turned around, a little depressed, and suddenly seemed to understand his mind all of a sudden, but deliberately tried to escape.
The elevator "ding", my heart suddenly felt uneasy, the elevator door slowly opened, but suddenly lost courage.
When I was hesitating, a man in his 30s greeted me and asked if he was looking for Mr. Yuan.
I nodded unconsciously, and then unconsciously followed him.
He knocked on the door, and Yuan Zhi's neat voice came from inside: "Come in." β
As if coming to my senses, I lifted my feet and turned to retreat. The man cried out, "Ahhhhhh
I paused, stood where I was, and said to myself, "What are you afraid of?" and pushed the door open and entered.
"Comeβ" Before he could finish speaking, he looked up, saw me, and froze.
I looked at him deeply, tears rolling in my eyes. Thoughts have subconsciously invaded the bone marrow, and only then can they be comforted.
He also looked at me closely, perhaps not believing how I could be here, his eyes full of shock and a little pain.
"Mr. Yuan, I'll go out first. The man broke the silence.
Yuan Zhi was still staring at me, and when he saw that no one responded, he took the door and went out.
Yuan Zhi slowly stepped forward, held my face with both hands, and said, "You have lost weight." β
I smiled and didn't speak.
He asked me again, "How did you become like this?
His voice trembled a little, as if he was holding back something.
I know what I look like, I was already thin, but now I am even thinner and only my bones are left, my face is sallow, my dark circles are serious, my skin is loose, I have no energy, and I suddenly look like I am several years older.
I took his hand down and turned away from him, but tears flowed down my face.
"Li Ji..."Yuan Zhi's voice was full of pain.
He wrapped his arms around my neck from behind, hugged me heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Li Ji, how can I rest assured that you are like this?"
Such Yuan Zhi is really affectionate.
But Yuan Zhi, how did you do it, while being affectionate, and at the same time indifferent.
He was holding me harder and harder, but I was already in tears.
I choked up and asked him, "Yuan Zhi, do you love me?"
He turned my body around, wiped my tears, and kissed me lightly on my forehead. He looked at me affectionately for a long time, and then, lowering his head, he slowly leaned over and gently imprinted a kiss on my lips.
He said softly, "Li Ji, I miss you very much. β
He closed his eyes, and his lips slowly fit into everything, tossing and turning. I was so numb from his kiss that my head was dizzy, and I closed my eyes in a daze, and responded to him passively. I opened my mouth and his tongue burst in, paused, and then tentatively and slowly deepened the kiss. The strange numbness spread instantly, making my heartstrings flutter, and my hand tightly grasped the clothes on his waist, feeling weak and weak.
He finally let go of me and licked my lips in a heartfelt way. In the end, he pressed me tightly in his arms, his body was close to him, and he reluctantly put his lips to my ear and whispered to me: "Li Ji, why did you come to me?"
I didn't speak, I just wanted to melt into his arms at the moment and never leave again.
We just hugged each other tightly and let the time pass.
After a long time, I smothered in his arms and said, "Yuan Zhi told me that you love me?"
He touched my hair, kissed my earlobe and said, "Love." β
I looked up, broke free from his embrace, looked at him and asked, "Then why don't you want me anymore?" β
