Accidental Love

Chapter 52: Do You Like Me?

Zheng Shuyi was supposed to arrive at Jiang City International Airport this afternoon. She even planned out to go immediately to eat dinner with Shi Yan afterward to relieve his lovesickness.

Unfortunately, due to the weather in the United States, the flight got delayed for several hours, and the estimated time of arrival would be postponed to the evening.

What Zheng Shuyi didn't know was that Shi Yan also had a very important banquet gathering to attend tonight, so either way, he couldn't accompany her to dinner.

The location of the banquet was also very coincidental. It was just five or six hundred meters away from Zheng Shuyi's home. Just by looking down from the windows of her room, she could see the sign of the restaurant.

In the evening, before Shi Yan left his office, he instructed Fan Lei to go pick Zheng Shuyi up from the airport. He himself needed to go to the designated restaurant.

When the elevator descended to the underground parking lot, as soon as the door opened, Qin Lezhi appeared standing in the elevator room.

She had a head lowered, looking a little out of sorts.

Hearing the noise, Qin Lezhi slowly raised her head. Seeing that the person was Shi Yan, she opened her eyes wide and subconsciously took a step back.

But Shi Yan's glance didn't stay on her for even an extra second. He walked straight to his car.

After Qin Lezhi returned to her senses, she stood in place, pinching her palms with her fingertips and unable to calm down.

She was here today to complete the final papers of her work handover.

Even if Qiu Fu didn't say anything, she knew that she couldn't stay at Mingyu Cloud anymore.

There was no point in doing unnecessary struggles at work.

During the time that she was alone at home in the past few days, she thought a lot and did a lot too, trying to make the last effort for the relationship between her and Yue Xingzhou.

But last night, when she discovered that Yue Xingzhou still had dozens of photos of Zheng Shuyi hidden in his phone, she finally realized that Yue Xingzhou never had any feelings for her.

What Yue Xingzhou loved the most was money.

Zheng Shuyi came right after that.

When the truth was revealed and Yue Xingzhou realized that Qin Lezhi couldn't give him what he wanted, Zheng Shuyi returned to the number one position in his heart.

The scenes of last night's argument, tears, and breaking her relationship with Yue Xingzhou played back in her mind uncontrollably.

She still remembered that when Yue Xingzhou broke free from her hand, she chased out with tears and asked if he was going to go back to Zheng Shuyi.

Yue Xingzhou didn't reply, but his expression had already told her everything.

Qin Lezhi thought it was really pathetic and ridiculous.

She felt that she was pitiful for using a lie to create a sweet dream that was filled with more lies.

And Yue Xingzhou was the ridiculous one.

What made him think that Zheng Shuyi, now that she had Shi Yan, would return to him?

But this wasn't what Yue Xingzhou thought.

With his hoarse throat, he said confidently that Zheng Shuyi still had him in her heart and would forgive him. Even though she was with Shi Yan right now, it was only to release her anger towards him.

For a moment, Qin Lezhi believed what Yue Xingzhou said.

She herself went to such extents for love, wouldn't Zheng Shuyi do the same?

If what Yue Xingzhou said was true

The phrase "hate comes from love" was vividly shown on Qin Lezhi.

Being in such a heartbroken position by Yue Xingzhou was partly because she deserved it.

But she couldn't accept that Yue Xingzhou could return to his original path of happiness after hurting her like this.

As these emotions surged up, Qin Lezhi stopped thinking and turned to run to Shi Yan's car.

She stood there, took a few deep breaths, and then knocked on the car window.

"Mr. Shi, I have something to tell you."

The window was half open, and the man in the car didn't look up but didn't leave either.

Qin Lezhi tightened her sleeves at a place where Shi Yan couldn't see, but her face remained calm.

"My boy no, he is my ex-boyfriend now," her tone was full of sorrow as she said word by word, "Do you know that he still thinks about Zheng Shuyi?"

"So what if I know?"

Shi Yan closed the folder in his hand and looked up at her, "And so what if I don't know?"

The speech that Qin Lezhi had prepared was stuck in her throat by Shi Yan's words; she couldn't say a word.

Through the half-open car window, Qin Lezhi could only see half of Shi Yan's face and his cold eye behind his glasses.

"You might not know me very well. I'm a person with a very bad personality and am very self-conscious. If you keep bringing up unhappy things again, I'll help Zheng Shuyi make you pay for everything that has happened before, do you understand?"

At this moment, Jiang City International Airport was extremely busy with people rushing around everywhere.

Zheng Shuyi dragged her suitcase to the parking lot and found Shi Yan's car, but only the driver Fan Lei was there.

"Is it only you?" asked Zheng Shuyi.

"Yes," said Fan Lei as he got out of the car to help her with her luggage.

Actually, she didn't have much hostility towards Qin Lezhi's "real" uncle, but that didn't mean they were close though. So after saying thank you, she got into the car and took out her phone to message Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi: Where are you?

Shi Yan: Busy.

She sent a sad "Oh".

She thought that Shi Yan would miss her a lot of things, but it turned out to be just mere words.

After putting away her phone, Zheng Shuyi slept all the way home. When she got out of the car, it was already dark.

Because her suitcase was heavy, Fan Lei helped her carry it upstairs.

After coming back out, Fan Lei did not leave immediately. He stood on the side of the road and lit a cigarette, looking around purposelessly.

This made him see the depressed Yue Xingzhou. He seemed to have drunk too much and his footsteps were uneven.

Fan Lei even forgot to smoke, he watched Yue Xingzhou walk into the neighborhood.1I went to do some research and felt like the neighborhood is not the best word to use. By neighborhood, in this book, since ZSY lives in an apartment, the more appropriate word would be apartment complex', so I'll be using that from now on. China and these eastern countries mainly have clusters of dozen-floor tall apartment buildings together that are not common in some other parts of the world, so if you don't know already, and at the entrance to apartment complexes, there is usually a gate and public security patrols. By entering the neighborhood (apartment complex), the author should be meaning entering the gate to these apartment buildings.

The cigarette was burned to the end and his hand that was still frozen in place got burned for a second. The pain doubled the fretfulness in his heart.

Regardless of what Qin Lezhi did, she was his niece after all.

He could scold her and discipline her, but he couldn't let other men hurt her like this.

Whenever he thought of the way Qin Lezhi cried in front of him, his anger towards Yue Xingzhou would arise and grow.

So, without further thoughts, he rushed up to him from behind, grabbed onto him, and greeted his face with a wave of fists.

Yue Xingzhou was a little dumbfounded by his beating. Before he even realized what had happened, Fan Lei ran away already.

He was afraid that he would call the police and in the end, he might have to go sit in the police department for a while.

But when he returned to the car, Fan Lei still felt pissed. The more he thought about it, the more he decided that he must ruin Yue Xingzhou's life.

So when he texted Shi Yan, he added an extra sentence.

In the private dining room, the table of people chatted enthusiastically, and most of the wine was drunk too.

While everyone chatted and poured each other wine, their words threw olive branches one after another to Shi Yan.

He was the main character of tonight's banquet, so naturally, he also drank the most.

But even so, Shi Yan managed to push himself through while also taking a second to check his phone.

Fan Lei: Ms. Zheng has arrived home already.

Fan Lei: But I also saw his ex-boyfriend sneaking around at her door.

Suddenly.

Shi Yan's wine glass was placed on the table, spilling a few drops of wine.

His small movement attracted everyone's attention.

Under everyone's eyes, Shi Yan got up and smiled, "Sorry, I'll be back in thirty minutes."

Before everyone recovered, Shi Yan already left.

After Zheng Shuyi unpacked her luggage, her stomach was growling in hunger.

She dug around for a while, but the refrigerator was empty as if someone swept through it, and the only thing in the cabinet to relieve her urgent need was a bag of potato chips.

After a few chips, she started to feel hungrier. She collapsed on the sofa and looked at the ceiling motionlessly.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell finally rang.

Zheng Shuyi ran to open the door without even wearing slippers.

However, it was Yue Xingzhou who stood at the door.

The moment she saw him, Zheng Shuyi subconsciously was about to close the door.

But Yue Xingzhou saw what she was about to do and quickly grabbed onto the door.

The moment his fingers were about to touch the door frame, Zheng Shuyi let go.

She didn't want to break Yue Xingzhou's fingers, otherwise, she'd have to pay money.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zheng Shuyi saw his hand still clinging onto the door and couldn't help but reach her leg out and kick him. He didn't dodge or respond.

"What do you want? Yue Xingzhou, you're invading other people's property, I can call the police!"

"Shuyi"

Yue Xingzhou gave off a heavy wine smell. The corner of his mouth was injured and there were even a few traces of blood. One could say that his appearance at the time was worse than "hideous".

His voice was dry, like a drunkard who had a hangover, "Sorry, I'm very sorry."

Zheng Shuyi yanked on the door a few more times, but he still didn't let go, and so she simply gave up.

Her strength couldn't be compared to that of a 1.8-meter tall man.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "If you want to repent, go to the church. My house isn't an asylum."

Yue Xingzhou didn't seem to believe that she ended her relationship with him already. He looked at her for a long while. His eyes were red and the knuckles of the hand on the door were pale.

"Shuyi, do you really have no feelings for me anymore?"

Zheng Shuyi opened her mouth and was about to speak when suddenly, some footsteps came.

Fast and heavy.

She had a hunch that

Before she even figured out what her hunch was, Shi Yan's figure appeared already.

He walked forward with big strides, carrying the wind along in the corridor too. He didn't stop as he pulled Yue Xingzhou's hand off the door, and walked straight past him into Zheng Shuyi's house.

Bam! The door was slammed shut. Yue Xingzhou didn't even get to see who it was yet.

Before Zheng Shuyi realized what was happening either, Shi Yan had already pulled her hand and leaned over her against the door.

Immediately afterward, the kiss with a strong alcoholic smell landed.

Just like the way he walked in, his kiss was so aggressive that it didn't give any chance for Zheng Shuyi to struggle, he just plundered as he wished.

By the time Zheng Shuyi came back to her senses, she still didn't forget that Yue Xingzhou was right outside.

Being only separated by a door, which wasn't very soundproof either, the natural sense of shame buried her and she felt that Yue Xingzhou could clearly hear the sound of them kissing.

Therefore, she whimpered and pushed Shi yan.

Shi Yan frowned, and instead of going away, he grabbed her restless hands and pressed them firmly on the door.

A breath full of alcoholic smell poured in, stringing around aggressively in her body.

Zheng Shuyi was dizzy by his kiss and almost lost consciousness.

Whatever, who cares about Yue Xingzhou? If he hears, just let it be. If he sees it, just let it be.

Due to having trouble with breathing, the suffocating feeling made the corners of Zheng Shuyi's eyes wet. In Shi Yan's warm breathing, she closed her eyes and started to respond to him.

But at this moment, Shi Yan suddenly stopped.

His kiss left Zheng Shuyi's lips and then asked using the softest voice with the most possessive voice.

"Do you like me?"

Zheng Shuyi finally got to breathe and nodded.

"Yes."

She felt like if she didn't reply, she would be shocked to death.

Shi Yans hands slowly let go of her's and came down to lift her chin.

"How much?"

Zheng Shuyi didn't know why, but her throat felt numb, and barely said, "I like you the most."

Yet Shi Yan didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer.

Shi Yan's mouth came to her lips again, bringing another wave of suffocating kisses.

Along with heavy breathing, Zheng Shuyi's chin was lifted again by Shi Yan, forcing her to look at him in the eyes.

"Say that, you only like me."
