Don't meet me in your next life.

But Li Shaojing was tall and imposing; how could she possibly be his match?

She was quickly dragged into the elevator, her whole body pressed against the cold metal wall.

"Li Shaojing, what are you doing?" Xiang Yi stared at him in utter terror.

Li Shaojing didn't say anything, but reached out and pinned her hands to the elevator wall.

"You...you let me go!" Xiang Yi struggled desperately, trying to pull her arm back.

"Let me tell you, Xiang Yiyi, you'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Li Shaojing's cold gaze swept over Xiang Yiyi, carrying a strong warning.

"Li Shaojing, you bastard!"

Xiang Yi was furious and yelled at him.

"Bastard?" Li Shaojing scoffed, his eyes turning cold. "If this is what it means to be a bastard, then I'd rather be a bastard for the rest of my life."

Xiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Li Shaojing with a complicated expression.

A wicked glint appeared on Li Shaojing's face. "So, have you made up your mind? If you agree to get engaged to me, from now on, not only will I guarantee you a life of comfort and security, but I'll also fulfill any wish you may have."

“I will not get engaged to you, never.” Xiang Yi firmly refused.

He's a complete bastard!

He not only destroyed her love, but also took away her happiness.

Li Shaojing sneered, "I know you haven't forgotten Jiang Jinyan, but don't forget, he's no longer yours. It's over between you and Jiang Jinyan, understand?"

Xiang Yi was taken aback.

He knew what she was thinking.

Xiang Yi felt a little flustered; she couldn't reveal her feelings to him.

"Whoever says he's not mine, I won't let him leave me."

"Heh, really?" Li Shaojing mocked. "Are you sure your words are convincing? I advise you to wake up sooner rather than later. Jiang Jinyan doesn't like you anymore. He likes me now. Do you think you and him can still be together?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiang Yi glared angrily at Li Shaojing.

What makes him so sure that it's over between her and Jiang Jinyan?

He has no right to be so certain.

Li Shaojing scoffed, "I'm not making this up. Why do you think he suddenly changed his ways? Why did he give up his dream to become an actor? And do you know why I made him the third male lead? Because I wanted him to see how his sweetheart is with me."

"Li Shaojing, you pervert!" Xiang Yi shouted angrily.

"Hahaha, pervert?!" Li Shaojing laughed arrogantly a few times. "Let me tell you, only you would think someone is perverted."

Xiang Yi was speechless.

He was telling the truth; he really is a pervert.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He's right. Her relationship with Jiang Jinyan ended completely after he got engaged to Shen Jiaying.

Now, it's normal for him to be with other women.

She should wish him well, not be angry or jealous.

Isn't that what she's always thought?

"Go away, and don't ever show your face in front of me again, or you'll regret it," Li Shaojing said harshly.

His eyes were cold and ruthless.

Xiang Yi was startled.

What he said is true.

He meant what he said; if she dared to show up again, he really would kill her.

Xiang Yi was unwilling, but she didn't dare to anger him.

Finally, she quietly left his office.

After exiting the elevator, Xiang Yi did not return to her desk, but instead headed towards her lounge.

Li Shaojing's gaze remained fixed on her.

He saw her stop at the door of the lounge, take out her key, and open the door.

Where is she going?

Li Shaojing was somewhat worried and immediately chased after them.

However, Xiang Yi did not return to her room, but instead ran to the bathroom on the other side.

The restroom is a separate space.

She locked herself inside and locked the door.

Li Shaojing knocked on the door and called out, "Xiang Yiyi, what are you doing in there?"

There was no response from the people inside.

"Xiang Yiyi! Xiang Yiyi..." Li Shaojing called out a few more times, but there was still no response.

He immediately took out his phone and called Butler Chen.

Just as Butler Chen saw Li Tianrui off, he heard Li Shaojing's voice and quickly asked, "Sir, what can I do for Miss?"

"I'm worried about her. She locked the door. Send someone to open it right away."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Butler Chen immediately dialed Xiang Yiyi's number.

Surprisingly, her phone indicated that the other party's phone was switched off!

Why did Xiang Yi turn off her phone?

That's so strange!

What does she want to do?

Li Shaojing grew increasingly worried and called A Dong again. A Dong said that Xiang Yiyi had stayed at home all night.

Li Shaojing's ominous premonition grew stronger.

She didn't come home all night. Did something happen?

He wanted to go to her, but he was afraid; she didn't want to see him, or perhaps she didn't want to see him at all.

Li Shaojing rubbed his temples in frustration, picked up his car keys, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as the door opened, Xiang Yiyi came out of the house carrying a bag.

Xiang Yi was somewhat taken aback when she saw Li Shaojing.

How could she forget that he was here?

"Where are you going?" Li Shaojing asked Xiang Yiyi coldly.

"Go to work," Xiang Yi replied.

"Go to work?" Li Shaojing scoffed. "Do you think I'd believe you?"

Her physical condition made it impossible for her to work. Did she think he would be foolish enough to let her continue working?

Was she so eager to hook up with Jiang Jinyan?

A bittersweet feeling welled up in Li Shaojing's heart.

"If you don't believe me, fine. Anyway, my salary is enough for me." Xiang Yi glanced at him indifferently, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

She wanted to get out of his sight and never see him again.

"Where did I tell you to go?" Li Shaojing grabbed her arm and demanded, "Explain yourself! Why didn't you resign? And why did you turn off your phone? What exactly are you trying to do?"

“I didn’t refuse to resign,” Xiang Yi said, shaking him off. “It’s that I don’t want to see you.”

After saying that, she pressed the elevator button.

Li Shaojing looked at her stubborn back and felt somewhat lost.

His heart ached inexplicably.

What is he thinking? They've already broken up.

He shouldn't waste his energy on a woman who doesn't love him.

Li Shaojing shook his head.

No, she is Xiang Yiyi. How could she become someone else? He cannot admit defeat.

This time, he must defeat Jiang Jinyan.

Li Shaojing got into the car and drove away.

He sped all the way home and quickly returned, changing out of his suit and shirt into his pajamas before going into the kitchen.

He wanted to cook to provide the girl with nutrition and make her chicken soup.

After taking a shower, Xiang Yiyi sat on the sofa watching TV.

She thought about what had happened today, about the ambiguous relationship between Jiang Jinyan and Shen Man, and felt depressed and particularly uncomfortable.

She didn't know what Jiang Jinyan's true feelings were towards her, or why he was so good to her.

In any case, she never intended to use his kindness to achieve any purpose.
