Encountering his cold gaze, she bit her lip, remembering her desperate pleading at the hospital. She decided not to waste her sympathy on him – it would be more practical to save it for stray animals outside, who at least would wag their tails in return for food. For this ice-block of a man, forget it!
“Nothing,” she shook her head firmly, then added: “Can I leave?”
Was she playing games? A hint of annoyance flashed in his dark pupils, but seeing the sweat-dampened hair on her cheeks, he knew she was tired from helping him upstairs.
Forget it, he’d let her go.
“You can leave,” he lowered his head and continued working.
Seeing his indifferent attitude made her angry, but when she saw Yangzi working with a pale face, Lin Weiwan inexplicably felt a twinge of guilt in her chest.
Regarding the work he had assigned, she was not unable or incapable of doing it, she simply did not want to do it. Yet, he currently needed her help, and she had refused, feeling as if she had wronged him.
However, she quickly dismissed this feeling. Who told him to only focus on work and making money, not taking care of his own health? Someone like him did not deserve sympathy.
She turned her head away and stomped off.
After Lin Weiwan’s footsteps faded, Ye Lixie finally looked up from the pile of documents. His eyes seemed contemplative.
He had originally thought that making her work as compensation was letting her off easy, but recently he had discovered that he seemed to have developed a certain expectant dependence on her.
What kind of feeling was this?
For a moment, he could not find an answer for himself.
Thinking about the unexpected kiss in the garden earlier, he became even more confused.
Unexpectedly, her lips were soft and warm, and what he found even more incomprehensible was that he actually had feelings for her!
When her hands wandered restlessly on his body, a hot surge arose in his lower abdomen, and he even had the desire to conquer her on the spot.
Damn!
This was a thought that should not have occurred. For women, he had always sought mutual needs, then parted ways without emotional burden. For persistent women, he was politely declining.
