After she finished bathing and had applied the medicine, she immediately proposed leaving.

“Mr. Li, I’m fine now, so I won’t disturb your rest any longer. May I ask if there are any taxis nearby? I can just call a taxi to go home,” she said.

“There are none,” he replied.

“Then I’ll use an app to book a ride. Mr. Li, could you trouble yourself to tell me the address here…”

Li Shengxiao had only seen women desperately trying to cling to him, never one like her, frantically trying to flee. A flash in his dark pupils followed by a squint, “You can’t use it.”

“What?” Rong Yan did not grasp his meaning.

The servant next to her kindly explained, “Country Garden is a private residential area, and outside vehicles generally can’t enter.”

Rong Yan, “…”

She clenched her teeth, feeling utterly frustrated, and managed to say, “Oh, it’s fine, I can just walk back on my own.”

She didn’t want to get entangled with Li Shengxiao, or else she wouldn’t have sent Rong Duidui back quietly without showing herself. Li Shengxiao was too prestigious, too dangerous; she couldn’t afford to provoke him and didn’t want to either.

Having made up her mind, Rong Yan grabbed her purse, offered a slight smile—polite yet distant, “Then I won’t disturb Mr. Li any further. Have a good rest, Mr. Li.”

Just as she was about to leave, the man on the sofa finally stood up, his tall figure blocking her path, “Who said you could leave?”

Rong Yan was taken aback by the question. Why would she stay here?

“Do you need something else, Mr. Li?”

Li Shengxiao fixed his gaze on her delicate and fair face, which made Rong Yan feel extremely uneasy under his intense scrutiny, not knowing where to place her hands and feet, “I do.”

People said that the CEO of Li Group, Li Shengxiao, had looks that surpassed major celebrities, and now, with his handsome face talking so intimately close to her, even Rong Yan, not normally swayed by looks, couldn’t help but hold her breath, “Um… What is it?”

Li Shengxiao, noticing her discomfort, suddenly reached out, his fingertips grazing her lips. The warm touch of her skin under his finger felt exactly like it did in the car earlier, without aversion, without disgust. His body did not reject her in the slightest, and even his lower abdomen suddenly heated up…

His eyes darkened by degrees.

Rong Yan, now a grown woman, recognized the danger and abruptly pulled away from him, “Mr. Li, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

What was Li Shengxiao doing, touching her out of the blue!

Her heart was racing, a sense of danger looming, prompting her to leave in a hurry.

Suddenly, her wrist was forcefully seized!

“I have something to say.”

MMP, if you have something to say, just say it!

Rong Yan took a deep breath, struggled but couldn’t break free, turned back, and asked awkwardly, “Um. What exactly is it? If it’s about the compensation, there’s no need. I only suffered a minor scrape, no serious injury, plus there was my own fault in the accident as well. Let’s just drop the compensation issue,” she said, blaming herself for violating traffic regulations as well, since Rong Weiwei had maliciously pushed her onto the pedestrian path.

She merely threatened them with the recording she had to scare them, and Rong Weiwei went as far as wanting her life for it. Heh, clearly a guilty conscience!

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Uh… *cough cough cough*!” Rong Yan choked on her own breath, almost suffocating.

Li Shengxiao calmly pulled her closer, helping her catch her breath, all the while his gaze lowered as he continued, “I happen to be in need of a girlfriend. What do you think?”

Rong Yan’s face turned from red to pale.

Did her ears deceive her? Although she had confidence in her appearance, who was Li Shengxiao! Li Shengxiao had seen all types of women; the idea of love at first sight with her—she’d sooner believe that Li Shengxiao’s brain had been caught in a door.
