134. Young mistress

The driver and Xavier turned their face away after glancing at the scene infront of them.

The two light bulbs only had one thought in mind.

That's awkward.

While those two didn't know what to say, Li Zhilan was in a state where she couldn't say anything. 'She was shocked' should be an understatement. She was way beyond shocked. Her brain had disconnected from her body and she was unable to even move a muscle.

Just then the first signal her brain sent her was, 'He has a girlfriend'.

As soon as this information was processed, Li Zhilan pushed Qi Longwei with all her might but was unable to since his grip on her was tight. Very tight. But it wasn't to the point where she could be hurt. It was tight in the sense, she couldn't break free no matter what but it didn't hurt one bit. Infact his warm hands felt nice on her cold body. As much as she wanted to deny, the sense of safety in his arms had only increased.

Feeling frustrated that she couldn't break free, Li Zhilan slapped him hard.

Only then did Qi Longwei step back in shock. His eyes had widened and those beautiful eyes showed complicated emotions like no other. It was like a black hole which kept of pulling Li Zhilan towards itself, to be lost forever.

''Are you crazy?'' Li Zhilan couldn't help but shout . She couldn't beleive that he would do something like this with a fiance or may be even a wife waiting for him at home.

''You still like me don't you?'' When Li Zhilan opened her mouth to deny it, Qi Longwei beat her to it and interrupted her. ''Don't bother denying it. You only slap those you like. Only those whom you consider close with yourself. Only those important to you. And after all these years, you still slapped me. You didn't punch me like you would to strangers. So admit it, you still like me.''

Li Zhilan's brain had short-circuited because of Qi Longwei's words.

Yes she had avoided everything related to him these few years. Even the tiniest piece of magazine that had the ability to report about him was banned in her life. She had wanted to move on and she did. She rarely thought about him in the last few years but as soon as he appeared infront of her, all her decisions and hardwork in forgetting about him were flushed down the drain and there was nothing she could do about it.

The moment that slap landed on his face, she knew that she hadn't forgotten about him. She knew that he was still there somewhere in her heart waiting for the chance to show up and it did. It showed up after all these years, when he was right infront of her. She thought she had let go but this crappy thing was always right there.

But she couldn't love him. He already had someone beside him.

''Well I can't deny that you are important to me. You are one of my the friends I consider best. And yes I like you. Why won't I? If I didn't like you, would you still be my friend? But the like that I have towards you is different from the like that I would have towards my other half. Don't confuse them.''

Li Zhilan kept her voice cool. But only she herself and that idiot watching from the sidelines knew what she was going through.

It was tough to put on a tough front.

''Anyway. How are you? It's been a long time, isn't it?''

''You really... Forget it.'' Saying so, Qi Longwei immediately got in the car in the driver seat and drove off leaving his poor driver behind.

''Zhizhi.'' Xavier came forward to hold her but she just brushed him off.

''I'm alright. Don't worry. Let's go home?''

''OK. Let's go home.''

When they walked past the driver, Li Zhilan couldn't help but ask, ''What about you? Will he

send another cat to get you?''

And by 'he', everyone knew about whom she was talking about.

Ah... the young mistress is so nice unlike that grumpy boss.

Though the so called driver was feeling ecstatic on finally meeting her, he kept a calm face.

''Yo- Miss Li, it's alright. Sir always informs someone for our safety.''

Though he was left in the middle of the road by his boss, he still didn't forget to help his boss make a good image by indirectly saying that his boss cares about his employees.

But the effect of his words were different in Li Zhilan.

''Does he do such things very often. God, what a conceited person. I never thought he would be such a bitch.''

Young mistress, you grabbed on to the wrong focus. He is supposed to appear as a kind man, which he is not but still then... but you directly called him a bitch. Is that even a term that can be used on a man much less our CEO? Guess the young master really spoils her considering how fearless she is. She even calls him behind his back. And according to the gut feelings, I bet she can say what she said to me right at the boss's face.

What a brave existence.

While the driver was thinking about all these, Li Zhilan continued.

''Why don't you tell us where you live and I'll help drop you off.''

This simple kindness filled sentence made cold sweat drip his back wet. Let the Young mistress drop him off. He still want to live a decade more if not a century. If that cold blooded boss hears it, forget about keeping the job, he might not even be able to keep his head. All these time together taught him how possessive boss is towards the young mistress. He didn't want to be the target towards whom his boss's worth is targeted.

No way. Please God, save him.
