After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 26

Gently, help me…

In that situation, Wen Zhu’s first thought was to flee!

There were no surveillance cameras in the living room, no one else was home, not even Didi was there!

No one saw what had just happened.

Wen Zhu’s face was scorching hot, the heat almost searing her skin.

Her hands and feet felt weak, and she scurried to the entryway almost walking with her left arm and left leg, then her right arm and right leg at the same time.

Before leaving, she didn’t forget to cover Li Zhiyun with a blanket.

The moment the lock clicked shut.

Li Zhiyun, who had been lying on the sofa with her eyes tightly shut and showing no reaction, suddenly opened them.

Her beautiful eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of intoxication.

Not long after, there was a faint sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Li Zhishu walked down in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes as she glanced out the window. “I was just tucking Jiaojiao in. I heard some noise.”

“What did you do to Xiao Zhu? Why did she look like she was rushing to reincarnate when she left?”

Pure Hong Kong Cantonese, with the languor of someone who had just woken up.

The two sisters generally spoke Cantonese when there were no outsiders.

Li Zhiyun slowly sat up, the blanket slipping down to her waist.

She raised a hand, her fingertip thoughtfully tracing her lips.

“Nothing.”

Her voice was very faint, betraying no emotion.

Li Zhishu clearly didn’t intend to probe the minor incident between her sister and Wen Zhu.

Her tone was casual, but her eyes held a bit more gravity. “Did you ask the bodyguards to deal with someone for you today?”

Li Zhiyun walked to the bar and poured herself a glass of water.

Hearing the question, she nodded languidly, acknowledging it.

Li Zhishu frowned slightly. “It’s fine if you ask them to do things for you. But remember not to make a big commotion. Grandma needs to rest and recuperate, don’t let her worry that something has happened to you.”

Li Zhiyun: “Don’t worry. It’s just a small matter, Grandma won’t know.”

Since she said so, Li Zhishu naturally trusted her discretion.

This sister had always been meticulous in her actions.

However…

Li Zhishu remembered the person the bodyguards had dealt with, and then glanced at the fleeing figure outside the window.

She suddenly curled her lips into a meaningful smile. “Of course, I trust you. I’m just afraid you…”

She drew out the ending of her sentence, her tone teasing, “might be a little too impatient.”

With that, Li Zhishu let out a long yawn, waved her hand, and without looking at Li Zhiyun again, turned and slowly walked upstairs to go back to sleep.

Silence returned to the living room.

Only Li Zhiyun remained.

She sat quietly on the sofa for a moment, then got up and walked into the bathroom.

After showering and changing into a silk nightgown, Li Zhiyun returned to her bedroom.

She didn’t turn on the main light, and the room was dark and silent.

This darkness inevitably reminded her of the corner next to the bar a few hours ago.

It was dark and quiet then, too.

Only her and Wen Zhu.

Li Zhiyun lay down on the soft, large bed, her mind uncontrollably replaying the image of those eyes.

They were a beautiful round shape, like a frightened fawn.

When she looked up, they were wet, seemingly filled with countless complex, indescribable emotions.

Especially after drinking, her fair cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, and her gaze was hazy, carrying a kind of innocent seduction.

As she thought about it, Li Zhiyun felt a familiar wave of warm wetness secretly rise deep within her body.

She slowly turned onto her side and reached out to press the switch on the bedside lamp.

The warm yellow light instantly dispelled a small portion of the darkness.

She pulled open the bottom drawer of the bedside table and took out a photo.

The edges of the photo were already slightly yellowed and curled, showing signs of frequent handling.

The photo showed several girls in school uniforms, all smiling brightly.

One of them was Wen Zhu in her youth, her face still bearing the remnants of childishness.

Li Zhiyun’s fingertip gently traced Wen Zhu’s young yet bright face in the photo.

So many years had passed, and she seemed not to have changed at all.

Yet, she had forgotten her.

Li Zhiyun’s fingertip hesitated for a moment before she reached under her nightgown.

Her sister was right.

She had indeed been too impatient tonight.

But the thought that this Wen Zhu could be seen by another woman at any time for all these years.

Made her so jealous she nearly went mad.

Darkness and the faint yellow light of the lamp intertwined, dividing the room into bright and dark halves.

Her breathing became somewhat ragged, tinged with a suppressed yearning.

“Qingqing…”

A very faint whisper escaped her lips.

After a long while.

A short, suppressed gasp finally vanished into the silent darkness.

She slowly withdrew her hand.

She had finally managed to secure such an opportunity to strike when the time was right.

How could she let the prey she had finally gotten her hands on escape again?

The next day, as soon as Wen Zhu went downstairs, she saw a familiar figure.

Why was Li Zhiyun here?

Jiaojiao and Qiaoqiao were playing together in the corner, and Li Zhiyun was quietly watching them, her arms crossed.

The kiss last night had kept Wen Zhu from sleeping well.

Now seeing Li Zhiyun, Wen Zhu’s first reaction was that the other woman was here to question her.

She tensed up all over.

She cautiously took the last few steps down the stairs.

Before she could speak, Li Zhiyun noticed her and greeted her first: “Good morning.”

Hearing the tone, Wen Zhu didn’t sound like she was here to cause trouble.

She looked up.

The wound on Li Zhiyun’s lip instantly took up all her attention.

Her eyes widened, and her scalp tightened. “Miss Li, your injured lip…”

Wen Zhu instinctively touched her own neck.

Could this wound have been caused by her necklace yesterday? She had left in too much of a hurry yesterday and didn’t notice the details.

Fortunately, she wasn’t wearing a necklace today.

Li Zhiyun: “Did you bring me home last night? I was a little drunk and don’t remember much.”

Without waiting for Wen Zhu to answer, she continued to ask, “Did I do anything last night that made you very uncomfortable? If so, I apologize.”

She paused for two seconds, then smiled: “Also, about this injury, do you remember how I got it?”
