921 Cheesy Love Words
Shen Hanxing really wanted to know what Zhuang Li, the so-called male lead, could achieve without the cannon fodder Ji Yan dying prematurely and giving Zhuang Li a chance to shine, and without Wei Xi’er, the infatuated supporting female character, being a stepping stone for him.

“I still have other guests to attend to, please excuse me,” Shen Hanxing said gracefully, then turned to exchange a glance with Wei Xi’er before leaving, not even sparing a glance for Zhuang Li!

This performance undoubtedly once again stung Zhuang Li’s arrogant self-esteem! He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.
“Why do you look so gloomy, Zhuang Li?” Wei Xi’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she looked at Zhuang Li with concern and said softly, “Mrs. Ji is just like that. Don’t be angry with her, okay?”

“How can I be angry with her?!” Zhuang Li suddenly waved his hand fiercely and gritted his teeth, “She is the esteemed Mrs. Ji, and I’m just a young master of the Zhuang family. How can I have the right to be angry with her? In your eyes, am I just a piece of useless trash?”

Indeed, if he weren’t a piece of trash, how could he not strive for the power he wanted but instead schemed and groveled before her? Wei Xi’er smiled to herself. What did Zhuang Li think he was? Did he think he was Goujian, the king of Yue, who slept on firewood and tasted gall? He wanted to gain benefits from her using his charm, to live off her, and yet he was not content with just living off her and still wanted to put on an arrogant posture. Wasn’t this the legendary saying “wearing the hat of both a slut and a virtuous woman”?

Wei Xi’er felt a clarity in her mind that she had never experienced before. She covered up the coldness in her eyes, lowered her head gently as if she were a bit hurt, and said, “Zhuang Li, how can you think of me like that? I’ve never thought of you that way… Whether you can inherit the Zhuang Group or not, I love you.” Her eyes reddened slightly, and she said with a hint of grievance, “Being with you, it has never been because of your status. Moreover, even if you can’t inherit the family business, so what? I can leave the Wei Corporation and start my own entertainment company and thrive. You’re so outstanding, you can definitely do it too!”

Wei Xi’er held Zhuang Li’s hand, her eyes shining as she painted a future blueprint for him. “I believe in you. You can definitely achieve great success with your own hands. The man I love must be responsible and capable!”

Zhuang Li wished he could shake off Wei Xi ‘er’s hand! Was there water in her brain? There was clearly a shortcut, so who would want to start from scratch? Wei Xi ‘er’s entertainment company was nothing without the support of the Wei Corporation! What he wanted was the Zhuang Group, to become the head of the top aristocratic family in S City, and to make everyone look up to him

Zhuang Li wanted nothing more than to shake off Wei Xi’er’s hand. Was her brain filled with water? There was clearly a shortcut, so why start from scratch? What was the point of that small entertainment company Wei Xi’er had? It was nothing without the support of Wei Corporation! What he wanted was the Zhuang Group, to become the head of a top family in S City and make everyone look up to him, Instead of starting a small insignificant company. What was Wei Xi’er’s little entertainment company when he took over the Zhuang Group? He didn’t understand why Wei Xi’er was such a foolish person without ambition or brains! She clearly had shares in Wei Corporation, but she didn’t think about how to get control of it. Instead, she spent all her time around that small entertainment company!

The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhuang Li became. It took him a while to barely suppress his emotions and say, “Xier, in my eyes, you deserve the best in this world.” He held Wei Xi’er’s hand against his chest and said in a deep voice, “Can you feel it? My heart has been beating for you all along.”

Wei Xi’er suppressed the desire to roll her eyes and showed a moved expression. She realized that the moment she figured it out, Zhuang Li no longer gave her that feeling of being captivating. He might be handsome and tall, and his performance in bed might be satisfying, but other than that, he had no other merits, let alone the ability to make her lose her rationality and be infatuated. The cheesy love words he was saying now made her feel even more uncomfortable.

But Zhuang Li remained oblivious to all this, full of confidence in his charm!

“My woman should have the best things in this world.” Zhuang Li lifted his chin and declared dominantly, “Xi’er, be with me, and I absolutely won’t allow you to suffer the slightest grievance!”

Wei Xi’er fell silent. So, was she moved by Zhuang Li’s cheesy love words earlier?

Zhuang Li mistook Wei Xi’er’s silence for being too shy and moved to speak. He curled his lips, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. Women, their minds were only filled with romance and love. A few sweet words were enough to confuse them completely. They didn’t even know what to do next.
