After Falling for the Handsome CEO - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Closing Your Eyes to Wait for My Kiss?

At first, Shen Lian didn’t catch the underlying meaning in Li Zhen’s words. She only felt that his smile was incredibly greasy even while giving a compliment, which instantly gave her goosebumps.

She then replied with a hint of pride, “Of course my brother is good-looking.”

He’s a thousand times, ten thousand times better-looking than you! she added silently in her heart.

Although Shen Lian didn’t know who her biological parents were, she knew they must have been exceptionally attractive, or else she and her brother wouldn’t have inherited such good genes.

“I know, I know. Anyone with eyes can see it,” Li Zhen smiled, staring into her eyes with a hidden motive. “So, do you still want to pay back the money or not?”

Shen Lian narrowed her clear eyes. Detecting something subtle from his tone and demeanor, she frowned in displeasure. “What do you mean? Speak plainly.”

“Your learning ability is decent, and you’re quite good at playing dumb,” Li Zhen shook his head mockingly, refusing to believe she didn’t understand what he was getting at. “It’s quite simple, isn’t it?”

He leaned in close to Shen Lian’s ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “How about this: you convince your brother to let me sleep with him once, and the debt is cancelled. What do you think?”

Shen Lian’s eyes snapped wide in disbelief.

“You don’t need to be so surprised,” Li Zhen explained, thinking she had misunderstood. “I swing both ways. Since both you siblings are so good-looking, if I can’t sleep with you, I’ll take your brother. I’m not an unreasonable man, see?”

Shen Lian was different from her brother; she wasn’t as introverted or quiet. Having lived in the chaotic “slums” for so many years, she had developed a wild streak. She immediately lunged her voice and roared, “Fuck off, Li Zhen! Is your head full of shit? You disgusting piece of trash!”

After her outburst, she furiously grabbed a nearby book and hurled it at Li Zhen’s face. Caught off guard, his face was struck red, and he instantly lost his temper. “You bitch, don’t give me that attitude! You dare hit me? Motherfucker!”

Just as he rushed forward to teach Shen Lian a lesson, Shen Jin pushed the door open and roared in a panic, “What are you doing?!”

Although Shen Jin had been listening outside, he couldn’t hear everything clearly. Seeing the two of them on the verge of a brawl, he rushed in to shield his sister, terrified that she would be hurt.

Watching Li Zhen crack his knuckles, Shen Jin was certain that if he hadn’t stepped in, the man would have truly laid a hand on his sister. He became even more enraged. “Using violence against a girl lying in a hospital bed—are you even a man?!”

Neither Shen Lian nor Li Zhen expected Shen Jin to burst in at that moment; both were momentarily stunned.

Li Zhen recovered first. Still in a fit of rage, he didn’t care about anything else and reached out to shove him aside, cursing, “Fuck off! Save your breath. She hit me first, so I can’t hit back? Move!”

Because Shen Jin’s body hadn’t recovered from the wild night with Yan Yu, the rough shove made him stagger back a few steps, triggering a dull, hidden ache.

“What the hell are you doing to my brother!” Shen Lian was furious. Even from her bed, she didn’t forget to use all her strength to deliver a kick. “Don’t cross the line! This hospital isn’t your house!”

“Sss—” The kick sent Li Zhen crashing into a nearby cabinet. The sharp corner of the cabinet jabbed into his abdomen, and he completely snapped. “Motherfucker! You two are dead meat!”

Li Zhen kicked the hospital bed violently and lunged forward, intending to throw a few punches at Shen Lian. Shen Jin rushed up again to block him. In his desperation and rage, Li Zhen grabbed a nearby stool and swung it down hard toward Shen Jin!

Shen Lian screamed in terror, “Brother!”

Shen Jin’s pupils shrank. He hadn’t expected the man to be so insane. He hurriedly raised his elbow to block, getting knocked back a few steps. He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan of pain as his fair skin instantly turned bruised and red.

Shen Lian’s eyes turned red with tears of rage. “Li Zhen, you’re dead! You’re fucking dead!”

Fuming with anger, she grabbed the stool next to her and, in her fury, ignored everything else and swung it back at Li Zhen’s head. “Fuck you!!”

Startled by her actions, Shen Jin shouted, “Shen Lian!”

His shout had an effect. It snapped Shen Lian out of her impulsive trance, causing her to shift her aim at the last second, slamming the stool hard against Li Zhen’s waist instead!

“Fuck!” Li Zhen’s body curled into a ball. Cold sweat broke out on his skin, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he ground out each word through gritted teeth, “You… two… are… dead… meat!”

…

In the hospital corridor.

Yan Yu leaned against the window, smoking a cigarette. The swirling smoke blurred his handsome profile as he gazed aimlessly at the azure sky outside.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking of the youth he had been intimate with last night—recalling his amateur reactions in bed and that seductive appearance. He smiled to himself and traced his lips as if savoring the memory. “Interesting.”

It was strange. Why did he feel like he hadn’t had enough?

After finishing his cigarette, he picked up a bouquet of flowers and headed toward another ward. When the nurses saw him, they all greeted him with smiles. “President Yan, you’re back.”

He simply smiled back without saying much.

As his long legs carried him past a hallway, he heard the sounds of swearing and things being smashed coming from ahead. He frowned and said to a nurse nearby, “What’s going on in that ward? It’s so noisy. Go and tell them to be quiet; don’t let them disturb A-Li’s rest.”

“Certainly, I’ll go right away,” the nurse nodded.

Yan Yu didn’t pay it much mind and intended to go to Xie Li’s ward. However, he caught a casual glimpse into that rowdy room—and spotted a familiar figure.

Li Zhen had a violent temper, and when he went mad, he truly didn’t care about the consequences. Even though he had alerted the nurses, he continued to brawl with Shen Jin, kicking him in the stomach and swinging his fists wildly.

“What the fuck are you pulling me for? Let go!” Li Zhen fumed, trying to shake off the two nurses holding him. He then quickly grabbed the unstable Shen Jin and threw a heavy punch toward his face!

Shen Jin’s pupils shrank. It was too late to dodge; he could only grit his teeth and close his eyes.

“Ah!”

Someone cried out in pain—it was Li Zhen’s voice, which confused Shen Jin.

The expected pain never came. Instead, someone’s arm wrapped around his waist and spun him around. A familiar, husky, and pleasant voice drifted from above him, tinged with a hint of playfulness:

“Why are you closing your eyes? Are you waiting for me to kiss you?”
