Love Burns Out: Mr. Li Loves Me

From that day on, Li Zhengting never returned to the Elk Manor.

Wenrong's life remained the same as usual. She ate on time, slept on time, and went to the hospital for pregnancy checkups on time.

Ordinary, peaceful, and...free.

All the shackles on her have been removed, but Wen Rong does not feel any sense of relief.

…………

Wen Rong stroked her belly with a smile on her lips, but Aunt Lan's consolation echoed in her ears.

Not only Aunt Lan, but also her mother-in-law Weng Shuyao.

The two of them were stuck in a cold war and stalemate, which they could all see. Although they both had each other in their hearts, they still ended up in a dead end.

Everyone was trying to persuade Wen Rong to be softer, to not be so hot-tempered or stubborn.

At least think about the children.

Their subtext is the same - otherwise a man like Li Zhengting will get tired of her sooner or later.

…………

In the blink of an eye, midsummer passed quickly, Wenrong was already seven months pregnant, and her due date was in two months.

Ranran, who is in Lun City, Country Y, has successfully given birth to a lovely daughter, baby Yoyo.

Wen Rong looked at the photo sent by Qi Ran on her phone. The newborn Youyou was not wrinkled like ordinary babies. Instead, she looked very energetic with a pair of dark little eyes open. She was delicate and quiet, and looked like a little girl at first glance.

In the photo, Ranran is still resting in the VIP mother and baby room, while Youyou is held in Gu Fengjue's arms, and he is reluctant to let go for a moment.

Recalling the video of Ranran giving birth, Gu Fengjue stayed by her side the whole time, helping her to relieve her nervousness, wiping her sweat, and even cutting Youyou's umbilical cord himself after she was born.

Wen Rong still remembers that although he was such an omnipotent man, at that moment, he was so alert that he was shaking all over.

Gu Fengjue didn't feel completely relieved until the mother and daughter were safe. He took care of all the matters after Youyou's birth himself, and the childcare professionals he hired at a high price became just a decoration.

He really treated her like a treasure. Seeing that he was attentive, Qi Ran also felt relieved and took a rest. After all, giving birth to a child is a very hard thing.

Qi Ran had given birth, and Wen Rong had put her worries to rest. Now... she was the only one left.

Since then, Wen Rong has never seen Li Zhengting again. She can only catch a glimpse of him in financial newspapers or news, or perhaps in the vague and ambiguous dinner parties posted by some marketing account.

Without exception, they are all accompanied by beautiful women.

A life of decadence and luxury, with fine clothes and beautiful women.

...When Ye Birou placed the current affairs magazine in front of her, Wen Rong felt that this shouldn't go on.

"Da Da, what do you think?" Ye Birou asked her with a smile, without any coercion.

Wen Rong looked away, "Mom, can we leave here? Leave the Elk Manor."

After all, this is Li Zhengting's private estate. They had agreed that day that they would end their marriage after Nian Nian was born.

Besides, now that he already has someone around him, it would not be appropriate for him to live here anymore.

Wen Rong found Li Zhengting's number, but after thinking about it, she stepped back and found Assistant Xu's number and dialed it.

A beep-beep-beep sound was heard.

Wen Rong was stunned. She remembered that Assistant Xu used to answer the phone almost immediately after one ring.

The prompt tone sounded five times before the call was picked up.

The other end of the phone was unusually quiet, and there was a faint sense of emptiness. Only Assistant Xu's slightly formal voice could be heard.

"Ma'am, what do you want from me?"

Wen Rong clenched the phone tightly, regretting making the call for some reason, but she still said, "Assistant Xu, just call me Wen Rong. I will no longer be Mrs. Li soon."

After the explanation, Wen Rong felt that this sentence was a bit redundant.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Li busy?"

The other end hesitated for three full seconds, and even heard the rustling sound of handwriting. Perhaps Assistant Xu was working and took a break from his busy schedule to answer his call, which really disturbed him.

"...Boss Li is in a meeting."

"Oh...then I won't bother you for now, Assistant Xu..."

But as soon as Wen Rong finished speaking, Assistant Xu's voice suddenly became tense, and he hurriedly said, "Ah, no! Well... just tell me if you have anything to say!"

What Wen Rong didn't know was that the person who answered the phone was Assistant Xu, but the phone was on speakerphone.

The warm and delicate breathing sound, through the slight sound of electric current, was smoothly transmitted to the other side and also reached the man's ears.

After a long while, she considered and spoke: "It's like this, I want to move out of Elk Manor and live back with my parents. This is Mr. Li's private property, and it's not appropriate for me to live here any longer."

There was a sudden cracking sound from the other end of the phone!

Wen Rong's heart tightened! He asked hurriedly, "Assistant Xu, are you okay?"

It sounded like something broke.

Special Assistant Xu coughed, as if trying to cover up something, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Oh, it's okay! I just accidentally knocked over the coffee cup!"

Special Assistant Xu was comforting Wen Rong while also feeling a huge sense of oppression. After Wen Rong said that just now, the whole office seemed to be in a nuclear reactor!

Ten or so seconds passed, so long that Wen Rong wanted to hang up, and then Assistant Xu on the other end of the line answered her, "Madam, I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this. You have to go and talk to Mr. Li in person."

Wen Rong lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes, but the loss was still picked out from her voice by someone who was paying attention.

"Well, thank you, Special Assistant Xu."

As soon as Wen Rong hung up the phone, Assistant Xu immediately stood up and went to the cabinet beside him to find the spare medicine box! He took out the gauze and bandages inside and ran towards the desk.

"Boss Li, bandage it quickly!"

Li Zhengting still held the broken pieces of the goblet in his right hand, some of which had even penetrated into his flesh and blood, but he seemed not to feel any pain. His face was filled with gloom, and even the scar on his forehead looked hideous and terrifying.

"go out."

Assistant Xu knew that he was redundant here, so he put down the medicine, picked up his phone and went out.

Li Zhengting squeezed the fragments in his hand tighter and tighter. After a moment, he slowly let go and leaned back against the back of the chair.

Her words just now echoed in his mind, and Li Zhengting laughed at himself.

He stayed alone in the cold and empty office for a long time before he picked up the car keys and walked out of the Li Group.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Rong still found his number and called Li Zhengting.

But Li Zhengting only glanced at the caller ID and hung up without hesitation.

Then he started the engine and drove quickly towards Juese in the autumn rain which was getting colder and colder.

Although the communication was fruitless, Wen Rong was not too discouraged. She just had no appetite for dinner and went to bed after quickly washing up.

But soon after she fell asleep, her cell phone began to vibrate violently. She saw the caller ID on the screen and chose to answer it.

The music continued from the other end, and Li Zhengting's voice came from the other end with a nonchalant tone: "I heard from Assistant Xu that you are moving out?"

Wen Rong nodded subconsciously, then realized that he couldn't see, so she responded with a "yes".

At this moment, there was a sweet and coquettish voice coming from the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of men clinking glasses, and Li Zhengting's voice was deep -

"No need. Even after you give birth to Nian Nian, the Elk Manor will belong to you. After all, you have been with me for so many years. A manor is really nothing."

After saying this, he held his breath and listened quietly to the answer from the other end.

Wen Rong turned over with difficulty. Perhaps she disturbed the little one in her belly, causing it to kick her lightly. Wen Rong smiled very lightly.

"Well, I was worried that you had a special feeling for Elk Manor, so I wanted to give it up. If that's the case, thank you for your generosity, Mr. Li."

After hanging up the phone, there were many brave ladies among the drinking companions. After all, every woman would covet Li Zhengting's name!

Even if they are not after the money, they would be willing to do so just for the top-notch looks and figures, even if it means paying for it.

But before they could get close, Li Zhengting stood up and strode away without even a corner of his clothes being touched.

…………

Another half month passed, the weather turned cooler, and it was already September.

That day, Secretary Liu came to the Elk Manor and met Wen Rong.

When Wen Rong saw Secretary Liu, he was even in a trance for a moment. After all, he hadn't seen anyone or anything related to Li Zhengting for two months.

"Secretary Liu, why are you here? Please come in..."

Secretary Liu's expression was not as peaceful and calm as Wen Rong's. She did not call Wen Rong "Madam". Instead, she looked at her worriedly and said, "Wen Rong, are you really going to give President Li to someone else?"

Wen Rong knew what Secretary Liu said.

In the past half month, Li Zhengting has frequently brought Mu Rong to various public occasions, introducing her as a personal secretary. However, those people in the upper class are all shrewd people, so how could they not know the meaning of a personal secretary?

They are personal secretaries in front of people, so I don’t know how private they will be behind people’s backs.

Moreover, Mrs. Li disappeared without a trace. Anyone outside could figure out what happened.

But Wen Rong didn't care.

"Secretary Liu, I don't ask for anything now. I just hope that my baby can be born safely and my parents are healthy and safe. Other than that, I don't ask for anything else."

But Secretary Liu hesitated to speak. Wen Rong was thoughtful and saw her dilemma, so she took the initiative to ask.

Secretary Liu said, "Boss Li asked me to come here to get something."

"what?"

"These are some personal documents of Mr. Li. Mr. Li is going to have a minor operation."

Wen Rong took a deep breath, her gaze lingered for a moment, and she asked, "...What surgery?"

Secretary Liu hesitated and said, "It was a plastic surgery. Mr. Li said he wanted to remove the scar on his forehead. It's been there for so long, I'm tired of it."

Secretary Liu's words were very straightforward.

After all, for so many days, President Li has brought another woman with him to any occasion, big or small, and there is a sense of high-profile official announcement.

Even the matter of removing facial scars is known to many people.

The whole company was saying that President Li wanted to completely say goodbye to the past and start a new relationship, so he wanted to remove the scar and leave a perfect lover for his next one.

Secretary Liu didn't believe it at first. After all, she had witnessed how paranoid President Li became for Wen Rong.

But it wasn't until today when he asked her to contact the plastic surgeon in the hospital in person that she had to believe it.

That's why Secretary Liu came to tell Wen Rong specifically, hoping that she would be prepared. But unexpectedly, Wen Rong didn't care at all, and even smiled and said, "It's what I should do."

Seeing that it was fruitless, Secretary Liu took his ID and left the Elk Manor.

After all, she still has to go back to report.

When Secretary Liu placed the document in front of the man, Li Zhengting didn't even glance at it and asked, "What didn't she ask?"

Secretary Liu shook his head, "No."

…………

In the evening, Li Zhengting returned to the Elk Manor.

Wen Rong had just woken up, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a man sitting on the sofa downstairs.

Hearing footsteps, Li Zhengting raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound...

This was the first time he had seen her in more than two months.

Wen Rong had hardly changed, except that her hair had grown longer and the curve of her belly had become bigger. Her limbs were still slender, and her small face didn't have much flesh, and even her chin was thin and pointed.

Even though she is more than seven months pregnant, she still looks like a student who has not yet graduated, with an adorable childishness all over her body.

Wen Rong was a little puzzled. He looked at himself and suddenly frowned. He turned to Aunt Lan and said unhappily, "Aunt Lan, cook a few more dishes tonight. I want to stay for dinner."

Aunt Lan was stunned. She looked at Li Zhengting, then at Wen Rong, her eyes moving back and forth, and immediately responded with a smile!

"By the way, I don't eat spicy food, nor do I eat food with a lot of salt or oil."

Aunt Lan wondered, "Why, sir? Don't you usually like to eat this kind of flavor?"

Li Zhengting laughed intentionally or unintentionally and raised his voice: "Because I have surgery tomorrow, I need to avoid certain foods."

Wen Rong did not take the initiative to talk to him, and neither did Li Zhengting.

In the entire villa, only the kitchen where Aunt Lan was busy could be heard from time to time, with the sounds of preparing and cutting vegetables.

An hour later, the two of them sat together at the dining table.

Aunt Lan cooked a large table of dishes, all of which were their favorite foods. Aunt Lan wisely did not stay at the table. Instead, she picked up her cell phone and went back to her room to call her wife.

The meal was long and quiet. The two of them were silent, as if each pretended the other didn't exist.

But they all knew very well in their hearts what his return meant.

But in this last chance, neither of them took the initiative to break the ice.

Just like the lyrics say - self-esteem often drags people down and makes love take twists and turns...

Sometimes bystanders will complain and ask why others don’t speak up, but once you have truly experienced it, you will only be more silent than them.

At night, Wen Rong had just laid down when Li Zhengting pushed open the door.

He stared quietly at her beautiful and delicate face under the light.

Under the dim light, Wen Rong closed her eyes and once again chose to refuse. She did not accept his final request for reconciliation.

Their last chance was completely destroyed.

Li Zhengting turned around and left the bedroom, then sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs all night.

Finally, at daybreak, we drove away from the Elk Manor.
