Trapped with the CEO Chapter 7

   Chapter 7 No More Cry in Future

After Si Jinheng and Li Qianluo sat at the table, Mrs. Du was about to leave to do something else. "Mrs. Du, please have a seat and join us for dinner." Li Qianluo said and cautiously had a glance at Si Jinheng, who was eating a piece of spare ribs in an unhurried manner, wondering whether it is appropriate...

"No, thanks. Please enjoy yourself with my lord. I forgot to buy a cleanser. I gotta go and buy one now." Mrs. Du washed her hands, put on shoes, and got ready to go out.

"Well, then, it's dark outside. Please be careful." Li Qianluo said no more, thinking that they may have their own rules.

After Mrs. Du went out, Li Qianluo picked up chopsticks and started eating. She felt extremely hungry when she saw the dishes. She has been mired in a hot mess recently. Finally she could have a chance to enjoy a meal well, though with a stranger at the table... Maybe they would not be strange to each other in a few days, Li Qianluo thought when looking at Si Jinheng who is having dinner gracefully.

When Si Jinheng finished dinner, Li Qianluo still had one third millet congee in the bowl. But she finished off the congee in a hurry, wiped her mouth, and was about to clean the table.

"Did you also do this when you were at home?" Si Jinheng looked at Li Qianluo who was cleaning the table unskillfully.

"No, I didn't." Li Qianluo recalled her past life with tears in her eyes. She certainly didn't have to do such trifles when she was in Li's house. She is just that kind of people who does not need to touch the cold water in March. But she is homeless already. She should be a grown-up now.

"Li Qianluo, this is your home from now on. You are not a guest and don't act so carefully!" Si Jinheng snatched the empty bowl in her hand, and gripped her wrist to go upstairs.

Li Qianluo looked at his big hand on her wrist sadly. She also wants to relax herself, as she feels so tired now. But can she?

When they arrived on the second floor, Si Jinheng didn't let her go. Instead, he took her to his study.

Si Jinheng fetched out two cards from the drawer of the desk, walked to Li Qianluo and gave the cards to her.

"I don't have cash. Take these two cards to withdraw cash or buy things, whatever you want."

Li Qianluo recognized that one of them is a limited-edition VIP Black Card. Only 88 cards of this kind are issued all over the world, no credit limit, offering top-notch credit card experience worldwide, including a range of priority services at high-end stores and airports. She saw a card of the same kind once when she attended a wine tasting party with Qi Zeming last year, which was held in the hand of a boss of a leading enterprise. It is said that he was the only one who owned this card in D City.

She raised her head to look at Si Jinheng who kept a poker face, and fell into confusion. Why does he treat her so well while they are just strangers? Is it just because they have spent their first night together?

"Si Jinheng, I don't love you." That's true. She doesn't love him, and she doesn't want to cheat him. Qi Zeming was the only one she had loved. But now the only feeling she has towards him is hate.

"Go to bed early. We will go to apply for a marriage license tomorrow." Si Jinheng pushed her out with no more talking.

Is he angry? Li Qianluo looked at the closed door of the study in front of her, gripped the cards in her hand, and went to her room.

She was deeply touched and occupied by the appearance of Si Jinheng in the day, while now she is alone in her room, filling her mind with a myriad of thoughts and ideas.

Dad has lost his company; grandmother has passed away; dad had grey hair overnight, and disappears now. She lost everything because of Qi Yunzhong and his son. The deepest hurt comes from people's venom rather than the fact that she lost the company...

Li Qianluo sat on the sofa in the balcony sadly and looked at D City by night outside, tears streaming down her face. She wants to be strong. But everything happened all of a sudden. How can she be strong?

Si Jinheng intended to ask Li Qianluo where her household register was. But he heard her sobbing at the door of her room. Opening the door, he saw Li Qianluo huddling up in the balcony. He had thought her a strong woman, not caring about anything.

Li Qianluo was scared by a sudden hug and stopped crying immediately. When noticing that it was Si Jinheng, she cried more sadly: "Why are you here? You catch me crying. How ashamed I am."

"..." She is full of stubborn pride. Si Jinheng stood there, while Li Qianluo cried in his arms for half an hour.

He looked at Li Qianluo, who began to sob, with a frown. Her tears have wet his clothing. "Just this once. No more cry in future."

"Why should I do as you say?" Li Qianluo cried more sadly. Is he bullying her now?

"You have cried for a long time. Does that help anyway?" Si Jinheng doesn't know why he feels uncomfortable when he sees her crying.

On second thoughts, Li Qianluo stopped crying. She doesn't like crying, either. But she just feels so sad.

"You got wine?" She blew her nose and looked at him pitifully.

Si Jinheng couldn't bear to turn down her request, "You wanna drink?"

"Sure! I have made up my mind. I will let what have happened recently go with wine!"

She used to drink wine with the company of Qi Zeming or Fu Xinru. Now that she has decided to abandon the past and live a better life, she needs to fight for herself, even though she has to use the help of the man in front of her...

Li Qianluo went to the bathroom to wash her face, and wore her straggly long hair in a bun.

Looking at the wine rack, Si Jinheng got a bottle of wine and two glasses with a little hesitation.

"I don't want red wine. I want to drink baijiu." Only the strong alcoholic drink can remove her worry and anger.

Ignoring what she said, Si Jinheng opened the bottle and poured the wine into the two glasses. Li Qianluo pouted dissatisfiedly and drank the wine off. Looking at the empty wine glass, she recalled that it was because she drank the red wine that Qi Zeming handed her that she had sex with the man in front of her. That red wine must have been drugged then. Li Qianluo gave a sardonic smile.

Si Jinheng didn't plan to give her more wine and he put the wine bottle at his side. Alcohol is not good for her as she was just discharged from hospital. Why did he even agree to let her drink just now?

Li Qianluo stood up angrily, got the bottle, filled her glass full with red wine, and drank it off. She burped happily, not noticing Si Jinheng's displeased face.

When she was going to refill her glass, her wrist was gripped. "What's up? Don't be so mean! I just drink a little of your wine." Li Qianluo disdained.

Si Jinheng stood up, pulled her up from the chair, and took her to the bathroom.

He turned on the shower and pulled her under it. The cold water sent a chill through her.

Her clothes got wet and were tightly affixed to her body, revealing her beautiful body shape. "Si Jinheng, are you crazy? I have not taken off my clothes yet!" Li Qianluo felt perplexed and looked at Si Jinheng's non-nice face, shivering again and wondering if he was angry. He looks so terrible...

He knew that she was in a bad mood, and really had no intention to touch her. But she left him with no choice but having to take some measures as she has just challenged him again and again.
