Bai Weiwei’s gaze remained dangerously on the area between Xu Menggui’s thighs before she finally pressed down her terrifying thoughts.
If she really stepped on it.
The favorability would sink into the negatives by the minute. Don’t even think about it coming back up.
Bai Weiwei promptly stood up and hurriedly pulled up her zipper.
There was a slit in her skirt, but she didn’t seem to pay it any mind. She headed straight for the door, wanting to open the door and rush out.
The door was already locked.
With a fingerprint passcode.
Bai Weiwei fiercely smacked the door when a shadow loomed over her.
A hand emerged from next to her ear and rested against the door panel.
Xu Menggui pasted his entire body onto her. His breaths were chaotic, even a little unstable.
“Do you hate me that much?”
His voice grew hoarse, sounding particularly menacing.
Bai Weiwei’s body went rigid. She lowered her head, her fingers clenching into fists. She looked as though she were struggling.
Finally, she lifted her head, her eyes flushed red and her voice choked. “Yes. Xu Menggui, you disgust me.”
Xu Menggui went silent before he suddenly laughed coldly. “Then what about at the start, when you pretended to love me? Was it just for fun? When you got tired, you would throw me away?”
Bai Weiwei gritted her teeth. “You ungrateful1 thing. The person I like, when I kissed him, he would be shy. When I was in danger, he would rush to save me without caring about himself. When I was happy, he would be even happier.”
Each sentence seemed to be pulled out from her wound.
A pain that dripped with blood.
Xu Menggui could even hear the tremors in her voice that came from bearing too much pain.
She laughed self-mockingly. “You are not the Xu Menggui I like. You’re just not.”
After speaking, she reached out again, trying to open the door.
The doorknob remained cold and unmoved.
Xu Menggui’s hand suddenly dropped, grabbing her hand that was holding the doorknob.
Bai Weiwei’s fingers trembled. She tried to struggle.
But Xu Menggui didn’t allow her to struggle. The fingers intertwined.
Bai Weiwei finally explodedin anger. “Xu Menggui, are you entertained? What the hell do you have against me? If you destroy my family’s business, I can take it as a hostile takeover by a competitor, I’ll accept that. But just what do you want now? You still think that I have some value, so now you want to bite onto me without letting go, is that what it is?”
Her furious words were filled with grievances and suffering.
Xu Menggui was struck in the heart by her words.
His grip loosened, but he still hesitated.
His voice softened. “Weiwei, I’m a bad person.”
Bai Weiwei didn’t speak.
Xu Menggui: “That Xu Menggui you liked was all an act by me. I can’t pretend for a lifetime.”
He laughed as he said that, sending a chill down her spine.
“So I won’t pretend. I like you.”
【Ding, the male lead’s favorability: 70.】
Bai Weiwei raised her brows. A look of pondering flashing through her gaze.
Was Xu Menggui coming to make a confession of deep love?
She’d just thought this when Xu Menggui’s hand suddenly pulled the door open.
The door opened.
They stood at the door.
Xu Menggui backed away. He even took the coat hanging on the clothes stand by the door and wrapped it around her waist.
Covering the rip in her skirt.
Bai Weiwei didn’t look back the entire time. Her body was stiff as she looked out the door.
Xu Menggui spoke. “You can go, if you truly don’t like me.”
Bai Weiwei showed a hint of a sneer. As she was about to step out and walk away.
Xu Menggui’s voice, as gentle as the murmuring of wild animals rang out faintly.
“I’m not a good person.”
Bai Weiwei: I know you’re not a good person. You don’t need to keep emphasizing it.
Xu Menggui: “So if you dare to walk out that door, I won’t let you off.”
Bai Weiwei: “…”
