Chapter 78
The house card was given to Qiao Lixi, during the days when Li Yiheng was an assistant to Li Jincheng. Li Yiheng had various social engagements. Whenever he felt a bit drunk, he would subconsciously not return to the Li residence, but instead ask the driver to drive directly to Qiao Lixi's place.
Home seems like a pure and beautiful word, which cannot be desecrated by drunkenness.
You can't expect Mr. Li to remember to bring the room card with him every time, and handling a temporary room card is also very time-consuming, so Li Jindan simply carried one with him, and once he put it away, he forgot to return it again.
It came in handy today.
Li Yiheng didn't know what Li Yiheng had to do today, so he hadn't turned on his phone for a long time. But he had handled Li Yiheng's daily affairs after all, and he could guess that there would definitely be a dinner party after the important matter, which made him turn off his phone and wait solemnly. It was probably going to be a drunken feast.
He held the room card in his hand and went straight to Jolene, thinking that if heaven helped him and he bumped into her, it would be...
He really didn't know what to say anymore.
Because after opening the door of the house, there was someone inside.
The ceiling lamp in the room was not turned on, only a floor-standing lamp was lit. Under the lamp, a young man sat on the sofa, and as soon as Li Jin entered the door, he straightened up alertly, looking at the door with full vigilance. In the dim yellow light, his facial features were cast in a faint shadow, and those deer-like bright black eyes stared at him unblinkingly, and under such a panicked expression, it inexplicably moved people's hearts to pity.
Li Jin suddenly realized that he had come to the wrong place.
Mr. Li arranged for the little bed to be set up here, but he was afraid that later when the wine was intoxicating and the emotions were confusing, he would indulge in a night of debauchery, and this would ruin Mr. Li's good fortune.
Since everyone has arrived, can we leave now?
Besides, it's an emergency, even if Mr. Li takes up his gun and goes into battle, he'll probably still have to stand by the bedside and watch.
Who made him come with a request?
So he stood still with a forced smile, intending to squeeze out a kind smile, but the smile was successfully choked back by the boy's words.
"Mr. Li... Mr. Li?" The young man stood up, bowing respectfully to him, "Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Mo Li, I'm here tonight... Tonight... Do you want to take a bath first?"
So he didn't know Mr. Li yet?
It's no wonder that Mr. Li, who is at the top of the food chain, can't easily get to know the small fish and shrimp.
That young man was so tender that he could squeeze out water, and as soon as he said half a sentence, his cheeks turned red as if they were about to bleed. By the time he asked the last question, it was almost like a sacrifice.
Li Jin looked at him and thought, "He's really asking for trouble. How can Li Yi Heng bear to hit such a tender face?"
How beastly! Too beastly!
So Li Jinghua clearly drew a line with the beast and explained in a righteous tone: "Sorry, you've got it wrong, I'm not Li Yiheng."
The boy blinked his eyes, somewhat unable to react, and was stunned.
It wasn't until half a day had passed that he suddenly realized and asked: "Then who are you..."
Li Jin's intestines were scraped, I don't know how to explain it.
The young man reacted quickly this time. For a moment, he looked utterly desperate: "I know... you are... you also... I... I won't..."
What a sin!
Li Jinxin thought that this kid not only automatically classified her as a beast, but also assumed that she and Li Yiheng wanted to have a threesome with him.
"It's not what you think, I just have something to discuss with Li Yiheng, I came here to wait for him and will leave after we're done."
The young man looked at him with a mixture of trust and doubt for three seconds before nodding and sitting back down in his original position.
Li Jincheng let out a sigh and sat down on the other end of the sofa, far away from him. The young man looked at him with great tension as he sat down, shrinking his legs and almost wanting to hide himself in the gap between the sofa cushions, then leaned towards the other side.
Li Jin looked at him and couldn't help but think of when he first met Li Yiheng.
He was nervous in his heart, but since it involved Shu Mu's future prospects, he didn't dare to reveal even a hint of it, and could only accompany him with a smile, as if he had an open mind and behavior that was even more open, and anything went. But later when they got into bed, once their clothes were off and there was no cover, his nervousness seemed like it couldn't be hidden either, and he hastily retreated. When Li Yiheng kissed him, he still trembled with fear, biting Li Yiheng's tongue, and was so scared that he almost wanted to jump up naked and kneel on the bed to apologize.
Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed, Li Yiheng is really a weirdo, how can I like him?
Li Jin's continuous smiling and thinking looked really strange in other people's eyes. The young man stole a glance at him, the more he looked, the more he felt that Li Jin was sneering, his heart was racing with doubts, he even found a hundred problems with the reason Li Jin had just given, completely forgetting what he was doing, and thinking of calling the police.
Just as the young man's will was about to reach its limit and he was about to pick up his phone to call the police, the door opened again.
The boy sprang up suddenly.
At the entrance, Li Yiheng took off his coat and walked into the living room. After seeing the strange scene in the living room clearly, his warm expression that had not changed for a hundred years finally cracked.
"Li Jin?" Li Yi Heng glanced at the young man beside him with his hands and feet in a state of disarray, turned back, and slightly furrowed his brow. "How did you get here?"
Li Jin smiled and stood up: "Didn't you say I could come find you anytime?"
Li Yi Heng's expression froze for a moment, and in that second, Li Jin even thought he seemed to glance at the young man with a guilty conscience. But maybe it was just an illusion, because soon after, he regained his usual calm expression and said, "Yes, you can come anytime." He raised his arm and hung his coat on the rack beside him, "For Luo Fei?"
Li Yi Heng suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.
"I know what you want to say." He seemed unwilling to listen or talk more, and walked to the door, opened it, and calmly told him to leave, "This matter is left to me, you go back."
The chilly wind in the corridor rushed in, and Li Jin's warmth was blown away by the cold wind, even the heart hidden deep within his body cooled down rapidly.
He still held a thick file in his hand, which contained many records of Luo Fei's career, the plans he had made for the upcoming counterattack, and...
But now, they can't be used at all.
He thought to himself, how could he be so foolish, thinking that Li Yiheng's phone was turned off because he was busy, rather than the fact that he was intentionally avoiding him. He actually believed that Lin Xin's warning was just a self-righteous act, rather than speaking on behalf of Mr. Li about things that were hard to say out loud.
Those words "you can come to me" were just a comforting phrase, but I actually took it seriously and wore it like a golden bell, charging forward without fear or reserve.
Delivered right to your doorstep to lose face.
It's also true that he himself has changed, and is no longer the Ke Yuan who made Mr. Li give up everything for him without hesitation. Besides, even if he were still that person, what right does he have to ask Mr. Li to keep making sacrifices for him forever?
Li Jin gritted his teeth and stood there, suddenly feeling ashamed of himself.
"It's okay." He forced a smile, trying to make himself sound more natural. "I didn't come here for the sake of Lu Fei; I've already figured out how to deal with that myself, so don't worry about it. The timing is really bad, and I'm truly sorry... I'll leave first."
Then he lifted his foot and walked out of the door at the fastest speed.
Mr. Li stood by the door, one hand on the door and the other hanging by his side. As he passed by, a sweet and intoxicating red wine fragrance wafted from his body. Lei Jin was momentarily stunned, her body seemingly having its own consciousness, had already lifted her head and met his gaze.
The next moment, Mr. Li seemed to have no choice but to let out a sigh, then grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Leave." Li Yi Heng pressed down on Li Jin's shoulder, his five fingers exerting a slight pressure that made it impossible for him to move. Then, Mr. Li raised his chin and gave orders to the young man standing still in the room, "You leave."
That young man was already dull and foolish, and upon hearing this, he became even more sluggish.
"Get out." Li Yi Heng coldly stared at the young man.
The young man was certain that the one who had been driven away was indeed himself. He felt both relieved and uneasy, as if there was a battle going on in his mind, but finally, one side emerged victorious over the other. He bowed deeply to Li Yiheng and ran out hastily.
Then, Li Yi Heng pushed his wrist, and the door slowly closed by itself.
