After a night of passion, Li Weiru struggled to support her sore body and bent to walk towards the bathroom when she heard the mans deep voice: "Tomorrow morning at ten, meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Li Weiru turned around in disbelief, about to ask, when the mans phone rang.
"Hello, Phoebe?"
"Hmm, Im working. Be good over there, okay, Ill wait for you when you get back."
The mans voice carried a gentleness that Li Weiru had never heard before.
Li Weiru stood there, rooted to the spot, as a chill ran through her, spreading from her head to her toes and then throughout her limbs.
Li Weiru couldnt help but smirk, "Li Nanjue, since you and Phoebe have reconciled, lets break up."
"Li Weiru, dont look so wronged. When you climbed into my bed, didnt you know that Phoebe and I were in a relationship? If it werent for you, Phoebe would have been so angry that she left the country and refused to return?"
"But what did you mean by what you just said?"
"Ive grown fond of you after sleeping together for so long," the man said indifferently.
Li Weirus heart skipped a beat, only to hear Li Nanjue sneer, "Li Weiru, you wouldnt want to hear something like that, would you?"
Before Li Weiru could react, the man continued calmly, "I need a child, and you, youre relatively clean, thats all."
"I wont marry."
"Ive already informed your parents, and theyre delighted. After all, Ive given a piece of land worth one hundred million as a dowry." The mans words were full of sarcasm, and his eyes towards Li Weiru were even more disdainful.
Li Weiru looked up abruptly, shouting in agitation, "Then why dont you ask Phoebe to have a child for you? Because she cant, right? You claim to love her, but youve had countless women over the years. If I were Phoebe, I would rather my illness never get better than want to see you again! I think youre disgusting!"
Li Nanjues expression suddenly darkened, and at the same moment, as soon as Li Weiru finished speaking, the man leaped up, grabbed her, and pressed her onto the bed, his hands tightly gripping her neck.
Li Nanjues eyes turned scarlet with rage, "Li Weiru, how dare you say that! If it werent for you, Phoebe wouldnt have left! Calling me disgusting, you are the most disgusting, filthy!"
Li Nanjue had always been a calm and restrained person, but his pride in self-control was useless in front of her. A few words from her made him want to strangle her.
Li Weirus black hair was scattered on the white bedsheet, and her already slender body was even more vulnerable at the moment.
She didnt plead for mercy, just kept her eyes closed.
If she were to die like this, it would be a relief.
As early as five years ago, when she found herself waking up from Li Nanjues bed, she knew that in his eyes, she was just someone who could sell herself for wealth.
Here, this house was her home, and this room was where she had lived since childhood.
But in the past two years, Li Nanjue had come and gone as he pleased, simply because the Li family is now the largest investor of the Weiru family. Her father was just a nominal director, and if the Li family withdrew its investment, the Weiru family would not even be able to keep the roof over their heads.
The little self-esteem she had left told her that her feelings for him were something she could never confess.
Just as Li Weiru thought she was about to die, the pressure on her neck gradually lessened, and then the man got up, dressed, and turned back into the aloof and domineering CEO, Li Nanjue.
"Li Weiru, do not try to provoke me, nor should you dare to compete with Phoebe for anything. If you dare to run, I will sue your parents for extortion. If you want them to spend the rest of their lives in prison, go ahead."
The door slammed shut, and Li Nanjue left.
Li Weiru lay on the bed, and after a while, her vacant gaze moved, and a stream of tears fell.
