Switching target, Xia Ze crawled to Shen Xi and gave himself a few good slaps. “Ms. Shen, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I talk before I think. Please forgive me and give me one chance. I will quit the project team. No, I’ll drop out of Capital University.”

Seeing that he was quick to beg for forgiveness, Shen Xi scoffed. “Remember what you said.”

“Thank you, Ms. Shen. Thank you.” Xia Ze kowtowed to apologize without one bit of spite. He would be dead by morning if he ever disrespected the head of the Li household.

Kun Lun turned to Shen Xi to make sure if that was the end of it.

Shen Xi uttered, “He has quite a foul mouth, spewing sh*t at everyone. Give him a hundred slaps and toss him out.”

“Got it, Ms. Shen.” Kun Lun instructed the security personnel to drag Xia Ze out.

Shen Xi pushed Li Yuan’s wheelchair into the CEO’s private elevator. Once inside, she leaned over to breathe in his ear. “Brother, thank you.”

“How do you prepare to thank me?” Curling his lips, Li Yuan asked.

Shen Xi took strides to face him. “For your small act of kindness, I’ll repay you in folds.”

Humming in acknowledgment, Li Yuan gazed at her with a smile as she jumped into his embrace and held him tight with her supple arms.

The girl buried herself into his arm and chuckled a sweet melody. “Look, I folded you in my arms, thus repaid in folds.”

Li Yuan was dumbstruck for a moment before lowering his head to cling to her ear and huskily murmured, “Shouldn’t you offer yourself to repay the favor?”

“Dream on.” Shen Xi retreated from his arms. “Do you think your tiny favor can buy me off? You should at least… Buy me two cones of strawberry ice cream.”

Li Yuan burst out laughing. Extending his arm, he pulled his fair lady in for another hug. The sudden snuggle caused Shen Xi to drop more than half of her snacks on the ground.

“I’ll buy you a lifetime supply of strawberry ice cream.” Li Yuan said amid a good laugh.

Shen Xi was giggling away too. Following a ding from the elevator, they had reached their destination. She looked the man in the eye. “I also want bubble tea.”

Li Yuan responded, “Sure.”

The silly goose was so easy to please.

Shen Xi happily bent down to pick up all the snacks on the floor.

Li Yuan hunched over to help pick them up and stuffed them in a bag. “You bought a lot of stuff. Are you planning to stay here permanently?”

Tilting her head, Shen Xi gave him the wide-eyed Bambi look and snuffled. “Don’t you like me anymore? Have you grown tired of me? Do you think I’m bothering you?”

Li Yuan drew close and kissed her on the nose before answering with a grin, “You’re probably the one who finds me annoying.”

“I won’t.” Shen Xi cupped his face and drooled over him. She appeared quite starstruck. “I don’t have to do anything and could just watch you forever.”

It hit Li Yuan right in the sweet spot. Joy exploded from his very core to every inch of his body, sending his heart on a wild ride. At a loss for words, he pulled her close to his chest and propped his chin against her head. “Thank you, Xixi.”

She would not know the hope, the new lease on life, and the courage to crawl out of Hell she had given him. She was his light.

Listening to his racing heart and raspy murmurs, Shen Xi hugged him tight and whispered, “Brother, I’ll always be here with you.”

The elevator door opened and closed on repeat.

A long while later.

Shen Xi wheeled Li Yuan out to his grand office.

Identical to the interior design of his home, the office was decked out in black, white, and gray. Although it was low-key, luxurious, and classy, the cold tones brought out the absence of human touch.

Shen Xi flung the snacks onto the sofa and checked out the office before turning to him. “Brother, let’s go shopping.”

Nodding his head, Li Yuan could never say no to her. “Sure.”

Shen Xi counted on her fingers. “I need some slippers, pillows, a blanket for a nap. Oh, that reminds me. I would be bringing Toffeecito along frequently so we’d need a cat tree, treats, and bed for it.”

Toffeecito used to go to work with Li Yuan, but the office showed no traces of its existence here. The stuff must have been cleared out.

Since Li Yuan adored Toffeecito, he would have its toys on standby for when it came.

Hearing that she wanted to get things for Toffeecito, Li Yuan glanced at the door across the room. A storage room lay on that side of the room and Toffeecito’s things were in there.

Nevertheless, he was happy to shop with her. It was better not to bring it up.

Behind the building of Li Corporation was a mega shopping mall, which was also one of Li Corporation’s assets. The chain mall carried high-end labels.

While Shen Xi was roaming the supply store, Li Yuan carried the stuff she picked on his lap, in his arms, and around his neck.

Kun Lun came in with his jaw dropped. He wanted to laugh but held back the laughter in fear of the repercussions. Boss really looked like a walking human display rack.

A fluffy bag in the shape of an adorable yellow duck dangled around his neck while two cute cat paw pillows cradled nicely in his arms. Li Yuan also had two pairs of matching slippers on his lap. The footwear came with a cat head where its ears would bob when the wearer was walking. It was too cute.

Boss never moved his eyes away from Ms. Shen. Like a camera, he was capturing every moment and second.

“Brother, what do you think of this?” Shen Xi held two glasses that had an adorable blue whale print on them.

Li Yuan bobbed his head. “Looks good.”

Shen Xi ecstatically grabbed a set before looking around for spoons. Picking one with a headshot of a cat, she raised it and inquired, “What about this spoon?”

Li Yuan answered, “It really looks like Toffeecito.”

Shen Xi let out a smile. “Right? It’s a spitting image. I’ll design a batch of Toffeecito’s collectible merchandise. Its fans are leaving comments requesting for them.”

Li Yuan furrowed his brows. For once he was not going to let it go her way and firmly refused. “No.”

Shen Xi was taken aback.

Li Yuan’s resolute tone carried hints of jealousy. “Whatever you design is for my use only.”

Shen Xi laughed out loud while handing him the glasses and spoons. She then kneeled before him and declared, “I’ll get someone else to design for Toffeecito. I’ll only design for you.”

Li Yuan was satisfied. That was more like it..
