Shen Nanci rode in Li Hengyan’s car to the company together.
It had to be said that Li Hengyan had undergone a significant change, making Shen Nanci suspect at one point that he had suffered brain damage.
One moment, the man was dissatisfied that Shen Nanci was sitting too far from him and insisted she lean against him.
The next moment, he complained that his tie was crooked.
He was just a fussy nuisance!
Shen Nanci was internally collapsing.
Who could bring back her former icy-cold CEO Li?
The one before her now was unbearably clingy!
No.
Li Hengyan wasn’t clingy in general.
He was clingy specifically to her!
For the Nth time, when Li Hengyan felt neglected—with Shen Nanci looking out the window at the scenery, ignoring him and not speaking to him—and opened his mouth to call out “Secretary Shen”—
Shen Nanci suddenly turned her head.
She glared, her expression icy, and snapped in exasperation, “Li Hengyan, shut up! You’re so noisy!”
How annoying.
If this dog of a man deliberately used his shoulder itching or neck itching as an excuse to make her tie his tie for the seventh time, Shen Nanci would definitely strangle him to death!
He shouldn’t torment people like this!
“Ci…”
Shen Nanci snarled, “Shut up!”
Li Hengyan shut his mouth and blinked.
He looked a bit hurt, pouting like a little boy who hadn’t gotten his candy. “CiCi is so fierce! You’re the first person who’s ever dared to tell me to shut up to my face!”
The next second, Li Hengyan’s arm wrapped around her domineeringly, pulling Shen Nanci into his embrace and holding her on his lap as if she were a child.
His arm tightly encircled her waist.
The man lowered his head and bit CiCi’s ear.
A punishment.
His Secretary Shen had grown bold, daring to snarl at her boss like that!
How could he…
Find her so adorable?
He wanted to bite her, bite her ear, bite her neck.
And more.
Bite through her throat.
Drink her blood…
Every part of her body belonged to him, Li Hengyan!
…
“Li…”
Her ear stung with pain, and Shen Nanci couldn’t help but frown. Was this man a dog, biting people on a whim? She really wanted to push him away rudely and slap him across the face.
But Shen Nanci didn’t have the courage for that just yet.
She was afraid that after hitting him,
Li Hengyan would kill her and bury her body in the backyard!
Ugh!
Stay calm, don’t get angry!
The driver drove steadily, and the ride felt completely smooth without the slightest bump. Shen Nanci tried to push Li Hengyan away but couldn’t budge him. She looked up at him and noticed that he was also watching her. His expression was, in a way, somewhat silent and tinged with gloom.
As if he wanted to devour her.
Shen Nanci froze.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat as she reflected on whether she had done something wrong or said something inappropriate earlier, making this man unhappy or angry?
Truth be told, when Li Hengyan was silent, his aura was still incredibly powerful and intimidating.
Shen Nanci swallowed silently.
Alright.
She admitted that she had gotten a bit carried away these past few days, taking advantage of Li Hengyan’s indulgence and affection for her, acting a bit spoiled and arrogant.
It had almost made her…
Forget who she was.
She shouldn’t get carried away and provoke someone she couldn’t afford to offend or cross in the first place.
“Li Hengyan.”
After analyzing the situation and weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Shen Nanci calmed down. “Are you angry?”
Li Hengyan remained silent.
Not speaking meant he was angry.
Although Shen Nanci felt that Li Hengyan had been unreasonable and inexplicable first, there was nothing she could do. What position or qualification did she have to oppose a big shot in the capital?
If he really wanted to, crushing her would be easier than crushing an ant!
She’s nothing.
She just got lucky with a pretty face, the right timing, and favorable circumstances, which is why Li Hengyan took a liking to her.
After all.
The Blue of the Dark God—how many people yearn for it but can’t have it—now hangs around her neck.
Guess she’s just lucky, huh?
…
Shen Nanci placed her hand on Li Hengyan’s. The man’s hand felt a bit cold, so she gently picked it up with her small hands and wrapped it in her palms.
She coaxed, “Don’t be angry.”
Lowering her voice, she continued, “It was my fault earlier. I shouldn’t have had such a bad attitude or lost my temper. I forgot who I was. I apologize. When you suddenly turned cold, I got a little scared. Li Hengyan, I’m sorry.”
The girl’s voice carried a hint of caution.
Li Hengyan pinched Shen Nanci’s chin.
Forcing her to look up.
“I’m not upset because of your attitude or temper. I’m unhappy because you were distracted.”
Shen Nanci looked utterly confused.
She didn’t understand what Li Hengyan meant.
Seeing the panic and confusion in Shen Nanci’s eyes, Li Hengyan suppressed the twisted possessiveness and violent urge within him—the desire to kill that man—and made sure CiCi’s heart and eyes were filled only with him!
And only him!
Li Hengyan.
He would never allow any other man to occupy a place in Shen Nanci’s heart!
Loosening his grip slightly, Li Hengyan cupped Shen Nanci’s neck and pulled her closer. His fingers gently stroked her face, his gaze cold and heavy.
Yet his voice was gentle.
The contrast was stark.
“CiCi, you are mine. In your past life, this life, and the next, you are my woman! You cannot love any other man. You can only love me. Do you understand?”
“CiCi, maybe you don’t understand, but my feelings for you have run deep long before you knew. I love you. I will never let you go. You can only be Li Hengyan’s woman. You can only belong to me!”
“If you dare betray me, I truly don’t know what I might do to you!”
“CiCi.”
“Do you know how much I love you?”
Enough to go mad for you, to die for you. Because of this love, if I cannot have your heart, I might take desperate measures.
Perhaps, just like in the past life, I’ll imprison you.
Keep you trapped.
Lock you away.
So you never see that man again!
And never see any other man besides me!
Shen Nanci:…
What’s wrong with this guy? Out of nowhere, he’s acting like he’s lost his mind again, suddenly going crazy?
And saying such bizarre things.
What a lunatic.
If it weren’t for the fact that Shen Nanci had noticed Li Hengyan long ago and had a crush on him for five years, if it were any other man saying such domineering and terrifying things to her now…
She really wouldn’t be able to stop herself from treating him like a pervert, taking off her high heels, and smashing them into his face!
Leaving ten or eight bloody holes.
Four or five on each side.
Preferably symmetrical.
“Li Hengyan, why are you so…”
Her words suddenly stopped. It wasn’t just random nonsense. Shen Nanci suddenly remembered.
When she was eating, she turned on her phone.
She saw a message from Fu Yunlin that had been sent a long time ago, so she replied.
And she even said that if he had time, she’d like to meet him.
Fu Yunlin and Shen Nanci are old classmates.
They have a pretty good relationship.
After Fu Yunlin went abroad, the two still kept in touch occasionally, exchanging phone calls or messages during holidays. In the past, Fu Yunlin had helped Shen Nanci quite a bit.
The design competition that Shen Nanci won, which made her famous overnight, was thanks to the inspiration and creativity Fu Yunlin provided.
Shen Nanci recalled that after she replied to the message and stood up, Li Hengyan passed by in front of her.
The man’s expression was icy cold.
At the time, however, Shen Nanci didn’t pay much attention to it.
She thought he was displeased because the breakfast didn’t suit his taste.
So, had Li Hengyan seen the message where she actively asked to meet Fu Yunlin?
