Chapter 44 - Love and No Love!

Pei Shaoling's words were neither light nor calm, and the mockery on the surface did not decrease in the slightest.

When Li Chenxi caught sight of the word 'pitiful', his handsome face had already turned as cold as nine feet of ice, and his dark, cold eyes were filled with seriousness. His peripheral vision swept towards Shu Yao who was sitting at the side, and the sturdy long arm suddenly grabbed onto her slender wrist.

Her slightly intimate posture caused Shu Yao to suddenly freeze. Before she could even react, she heard the ice-cold words that Li Chenxi had spat out, "If being my woman is pitiful, then whose woman is pitiful?"

Pei Shaoling laughed coldly and turned to look at Shu Yao. Looking at her eyes, they were as deep as the ocean, as though thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers were condensed within them.

"What does President Li think?"

He retorted indifferently, and started to feel pain all over Li Chenxi, his expression sank even more, and his voice became frighteningly cold, "President Pei suddenly saying all these, what is he trying to do?"

"It's nothing, I was just crying out for injustice for Shu Yao!" Pei Shaoling was still calm and collected, as if he was an old friend who had not seen him for many years and was having a conversation with him.

Then, he looked at Shu Yao, and said another sentence meaningfully. "What else can I expect from a man who doesn't even love his own wife?"

Shu Yao's expression turned cold, as though she had been stabbed in the heart, his heart felt like it had just struck a little kitten, and it felt extremely uncomfortable.

Li Chenxi's big hands that were locked around her waist tightened, awakening her thoughts. He coldly opened his mouth and said, "President Pei is overthinking it, my wife is under my care, it has nothing to do with love or not."

Just do your duty under the title of husband.

That's all.

Could Shu Yao think of it that way?

She suddenly felt the urge to raise her head and laugh, but she resisted the urge for a moment. There was a place in her heart that was too painful, so how could she laugh?

Outside of the hotel, the torrential rain was still pouring down. It was almost impossible to return to the city. Other than sealing the roads, the sea level was rising, almost flooding the sea bridge.

Shu Yao sat in the front seat of his Rustace, her expression fluctuating with a bit of unease.

Although Pei Shaoling's words were said to provoke Li Chenxi, they were not without reason.

He did not love her.

This was an irrefutable fact.

Of course he wouldn't care about her feelings, but why would he come to the suburbs under such heavy rain?

Shu Yao did not dare to think too highly of herself, but her moving thoughts continued to echo.

Suddenly, his phone rang. In a space that wasn't too big, it was slightly out of place.

The moment Li Chenxi took out his phone, she noticed from the corner of her eyes that the name that jumped on the screen was Cai Ling.

After picking up the call, he suddenly asked with a deep and slightly hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

"Did you receive Shu Yao? Is she all right? Is there rain? "

Because it was too quiet in the carriage,'s voice from the phone was extremely obvious, sounding right beside Shu Yao's ears, she suddenly understood many things.

It turned out that he was not the one who had willingly come to the suburbs to pick her up, but it was because of Han Cai Ling's request.

His wife needed the attention of another woman to be taken care of. How ironic and ridiculous it was!

But Shu Yao could not laugh, she pressed on her heart that was hurting slightly, she felt that her breathing was slow, in a moment of anxiety, the liquid in her mouth became bitter.

"She's fine!"

Li Chenxi gave his a simple explanation and hung up the phone, then turned and looked at her, Shu Yao had been drenched in the rain for a long time and was completely drenched, although she had used a dry towel to wipe his hair, it was still wet, and hung down to the side of his face, making his face pale white.

It was unknown whether it was due to the cold or the light's reflection, but in short, Shu Yao's condition was not good, and her complexion was terrible as well.

Li Chenxi frowned, he started to navigate, and found a 5 star resort hotel nearby, and checked in.

Walking towards the direction of the elevator, Shu Yao's body was drenched and the heels of her feet were also filled with water. She was not careful at all and slipped.

He reached out his hand almost reflexively and naturally pulled her into his embrace. But in the next second, it was obvious that his body had stiffened and his brow had wrinkled in the next second.

Shu Yao gasped in shock, and then subconsciously escaped from her body. However, her eyes caught sight of the impatience in his deep eyes, and his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, as he left his embrace. At the same time, she also walked towards the corner of the elevator, as though he was trying her best to keep her distance.

It was just a light movement, but Li Chenxi's eyebrows were furrowed even more tightly. But he did not say anything, and followed the elevator up to the top quickly, as he walked into the hallway with large strides.

The suite on the top floor was very large and had two bedrooms.

Shu Yao entered the room and felt a little uncomfortable. Her large clear eyes looked around the room and saw Li Chenxi walking directly towards the room outside.

He cast a sidelong glance at her, and his handsome eyebrows once again tightened. This woman, when had she become so self-aware?

It was as if she was intentionally avoiding him.

Shu Yao left her bag in her room and charged her phone into the electricity before entering the bathroom. The warm water washed away the coldness on her body, but it didn't wash away the coldness at the bottom of her heart.

The words that Han Cai Ling had said on the phone flashed through her mind, and felt as if a knife had been twisted into her heart. His own husband was actually only willing to come pick her up because he was requested by another woman.

How many lives and failures!

Ever since she was young, she had always liked him.

He had loved her for more than ten years. Even though she knew that he was forced to marry her because he followed the will of the Li family's old lady, she still did not hesitate.

A moth flew into a flame.

She had never hoped for him to be able to fall in love with her, even with the slightest bit of goodwill.

But what made Shu Yao's heart ache the most was herself — —

Knowing that Han Cai Ling had appeared was no doubt equivalent to a third party. Their ex-girlfriend had interfered with their marriage, but they had no way of bearing a grudge against this woman.

Han Cai Ling was too kind, too talented!

It was impeccable.

Every time that woman appeared, Shu Yao would always want to find a hole to hide in. The more outstanding Han Cai Ling was, the more inferior she was, like a mouse in a ditch, struggling to survive.

He was clearly in the main chamber, but he had the desolation of a child in his third year.

Unable to suppress the coldness in her heart, she quickly took a hot bath, wrapped herself in the bathrobe, and blew her long hair dry. When she came out again, the room was dark and her vision blurred.

Li Chenxi did not like the light, so when he slept, he could not even see his own fingers in the room.

In this unfamiliar room, Shu Yao did not dare to turn on the light to disturb him, and could only grope around in the darkness, trying to find her own room.

At first, she thought she touched something hard, but just as she was about to dodge, she felt a warmth and a very good touch. Subconsciously, she thought of something!

Shu Yao was startled, but just as she was about to leave, her arms were restricted by the man, suddenly, as her body spun, she was pushed against the wall, with Kong Wu's powerful arms supporting her head, her strong body pressed down on her, she was unable to move at all.

"What exactly is going on between you and Pei Shaoling?"

The low voice of alcohol rose from the top of his head, the charming voice of a smoker could be heard.
