Chapter 107 - Can I Not Be Your Friend?
He Continued, "The Wang's household is a tiger's den. Has it ever crossed your mind what he has gone through to be the man he is today at a very young age? Do you really think he is a simple man? The fact is that he is even more unfathomable than you think"
It was true that Jingyi Wang became a really business wizard at a very young age, but no one knew what he did to get to the top and how he became so powerful that he was able to control the world with just a single word that comes from his mouth.
Jingyi Wang, he was ruthless and merciless that he never thought of any body's feelings while making a decision. He does what he thinks it's best for him even though it's isn't comfortable for others.
Seeing that Xiao li was shuddering in fear, a smile started to form on his lips.
This was what he wanted- for her to lose faith in Jingyi Wang and come to him.
He reached out to her and opened his hand. "Leave with me. Lili, eloping with me is the best choice you have now"
Hearing his words, Xiao li raised her head to look at him. She seemed to have changed her mind as she looked at him, resisting and this made Liu Wei please.
However, in the next moment, she violently smacked his hand away, "No!"
Liu Wei's face froze when he heard her firm answer.
No?
She said no!
"Why?"
"I will never leave with you. You should just give up" She shook her head, "Jingyi Wang... I believe him. I believe in him because he is a man of his words. He would never betray me"
Upon hearing her words, Liu Wei's face darkened. His face darker than the bottom of a burnt pot. His handsome face twisted into an ugly expression.
Blinded by rage, he grabbed her arm violently, "Xiao li, is this your final decision? Why do you want to cheapen yourself this way?"
Upon hearing his words, she was taken aback and stared at him in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
"What can he give you? Is it wealth, splendor, status or fame? And then what else? Endless slander, humiliation, abuse and contempt, do you really want all of that?"
His words shocked her immensely.
She never expected him to ask her all those questions. She looked into his eyes and saw his frigid look.
Xiao li opened her mouth to talk, but she was not given the chance to. Liu Wei continued, "Whatever he can give you- wealth, fame, status... everything, I can give you too and if I'm your man, I will never let anyone slander, humiliate, abuse or look down on you
She was tongue tied by his retort.
She had known Liu Wei for a very long time and she knew what just said was true- he had protected her even before they started dating. Xiao li saw Liu Wei as a long term partner.
She saw him as someone that she could spend the rest of her life with. She had secretly loved him until one day when she found out the love letters Liu Wei had been writing to her, but didn't have the courage to give it to her.
On that fateful day, Xiao li was helping Liu Wei arrange his books in the study room when a paper fell out from one of his books. She was stunned at first before she reached and picked up the paper.
Slowly, she opened the paper and what she saw next shocked her. In the paper, it says;
"You are the only one in my mind and in my heart. Do you know the effect you have on me? Even in times of stress, I find myself calmer than usual when I think of you. I always seem to find the lighter side in things and situation. This is so unlike me, the pessimist I used to be. You are the only angel in my heart of heaven, Xiao li"
Her entire body froze in shock after she read the love letter. Her beautiful eyes was filled with emotion as she fought back the tears in her eyes. She lowered her head and found more papers on the floor. She slowly bent down, picked up the papers and read them.
"I wish you knew how much I adore you. You are my beautiful world, you are my life and soul and always will you be mine. I love you darling"
Her heart was filled with warmth and love as she felt it beating too fast. She couldn't control herself anymore and began to scream in Joy.
After she realized what she had done, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.
Ever since then, she had in her mind that Liu Wei was the right man for her not until she met Jingyi Wang, the man who ruined her wedding.
Who wouldn't be sad and furious after that horrible incident happened to him or her?
All she had in her mind then was to run away and go back to Liu Wei. She hated Jingyi Wang so much that she wished she could kill him, but now, this same man she hated was the only one who had the guts to go to the media and confess his love to her.
The only man whom every woman wants to be with. Some even had the thought of having his child. Even only that would earn them a high position in the Wang family.
If only they could be one of his mistresses...
But this man chose her to be his woman.
He was willing to give her the title, "Mrs Wang" In the Wang family, not only in the Wang family, but in his heart also.
He was willing to do whatever for her.
Xiao li's beautiful eyes flashed. She raised her moist eyes and said, "Liu Wei, I can't go back to you anymore. Remember you cut off the wedding that day?"
He closed his eyes pensively and asked hoarsely, "Lili, you met me before him, you are my life and my first love"
Xiao li was stunned by his words, "Yes, you are my first love, but we can still be friends-"
He cut her off, "Can I not be your friend?"
Xiao li was shocked.
"I don't want to be your friend. I want to be your life, someone you will love with the whole of your heart" he slowly opened his eyes and moved his face closer to hers.
The anger in his eyes was replaced by a tinge of tenderness and vulnerability. He looked at her with so much pain and indulgence, wishing with all his heart that he could tightly wrap this woman in his arms.
"I've seen myself as someone with no worldly desires, but that has changed the moment I met you. For the first time in my life, there is something I want to fight for"
And that's Xiao li!
