Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 60

“Brother Xiao Kai, why didn’t you tell me the Li family hasn’t gone bankrupt? Were you deliberately testing me?” Wen Xinyue’s throat tightened, her voice sharp and distorted.

Li Kai staggered backward from her push, completely stunned!

Wen Xinyue watched as the person who usually fawned over her remained silent, quietly gazing at her cousin for a long time without uttering a word in self-defense.

Just moments ago, she had been immersed in twisted satisfaction, believing Wen Xinrou would spend the rest of her life begging after marrying Li Kai.

But as long as the Li family hadn’t gone bankrupt, even if Li Kai left Rongcheng without taking over the family business, marrying him would guarantee a lifetime of comfort!

A few days earlier, she had infuriated Third Master Lu and been blacklisted from the industry. No matter how talented she was, no company in Rongcheng would dare hire her now.

During the Ye family’s homecoming banquet, she had noticed ambiguous marks on the woman by Third Master’s side.

She couldn’t even imagine what expression that cold-blooded, ruthless Third Master would wear when lost in desire in bed.

So, she lost control, rushing recklessly before Third Master to slander Ye Qianqian, hoping to capture his attention.

In that moment, the unattainable Third Master finally looked directly at her, only to coldly order Bai Lang to fire her and completely blacklist her.

All her pride had been crushed by Third Master Lu’s hands, leaving her to settle for marrying Li Kai as second best.

Now even Li Kai was abandoning her. This couldn’t be happening… absolutely not!

Wen Xinyue screamed, grabbing Wen Xinrou’s shoulders. “Brother Xiao Kai won’t marry you! Stop dreaming!”

“I’m willing to marry her,” Li Kai stated firmly. He forcefully pulled Wen Xinyue away and shielded Wen Xinrou, fearing Wen Xinyue might harm her in her frenzy.

Those five words, “I’m willing to marry her”, pierced Wen Xinyue’s heart like knives. She staggered back two steps, unable to believe what was happening.

She, Wen Xinyue, was supposed to be the unattainable goddess in Li Kai’s heart!

This opportunity was something she had discarded and casually thrown to Wen Xinrou. Why was Brother Xiao Kai now protecting her cousin and glaring at her with anger?

Had he been swayed by that fool Wen Xinrou’s act and transferred his affections?

Noticing Wen Xinyue’s out-of-control state, Wen Xinrou flashed a fleeting, mocking smile at her from an angle hidden from others.

That smile provoked Wen Xinyue, who glared venomously at Wen Xinrou, her face contorted with malice as if ready to tear her apart.

“Xinyue, you look utterly hideous like this!” Li Kai’s icy voice struck Wen Xinyue like lightning, freezing her in place.

Before today, Li Kai had genuinely adored Wen Xinyue, considering her beauty ethereal as if she weren’t mortal, surviving not on ordinary food but on dew like a fairy.

Her skin was flawless and pale, her face impeccably beautiful, every movement exuding endless charm.

But now, with her disheveled hair, venomous eyes, and vicious expression, Li Kai felt a wave of disgust.

Had he been deceived by this Wen family eldest daughter’s facade for ten whole years?

No wonder that devil Third Master Lu wanted nothing to do with her, rejecting her outright no matter how shamelessly she threw herself at him.

All this time, he had felt indignant on behalf of his beloved. Now, Li Kai truly realized he was no match for Third Master Lu, he conceded defeat wholeheartedly.

And there was solid reasoning behind it!

What kind of man was Third Master Lu?

Notorious for being cold-blooded, ruthless, tyrannical, and unrestrained, a living King of Hell. How could he possibly fail to see through Wen Xinyue’s ugly true nature?

Only a pure-hearted warrior like himself could have been so blinded by Wen Xinyue. The more Li Kai thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

He said seriously, “Xinyue, I must have been blind before, loving you for a full ten years. From today onward, I’ve decided to let you go.”

Li Kai’s overly earnest tone jolted Wen Xinyue awake. She staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning, her face as pale as paper.

Her Brother Xiao Kai, who had loved her for ten years, said she was ugly and that he regretted loving her!

“What? Brother Xiao Kai, what did you say?” Wen Xinyue’s eyes widened in fury, her finger trembling as she pointed at the tip of Li Kai’s nose.

“Sister, Young Master Li said he regrets loving you for ten years. From today on, he doesn’t love you anymore! Are you really not understanding or just pretending to be deaf?”

“Get lost! What right do you have to mock me? Even if he doesn’t love me, he won’t marry you, let alone love you!”

Wen Xinyue screamed sharply, her heart racing wildly, yet with a twisted sense of satisfaction.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t marry her. Because of you, I offended Third Master Lu. If Third Master Lu doesn’t kill me, I will definitely marry her.”

Li Kai looked into Wen Xinrou’s eyes and spoke earnestly, not even sparing a glance at Wen Xinyue.

“If he doesn’t kill you, you’ll marry her? But before, you came to my door with a betrothal gift without even considering me. What did you mean by that? Do you think I’m not as good as her?”

Wen Xinyue broke down in tears. A beauty’s tears might usually evoke some pity, but this hysterical sobbing was truly unbecoming.

Especially after witnessing Wen Xinyue’s cold-heartedness, even though Li Kai had loved her for ten years, he couldn’t muster any sympathy for her now.

“Sister, Young Master Li said he’s willing to marry me, but he’s being targeted by Third Master Lu right now. We’re going to the Lu Corporation tomorrow to apologize. Do you want to come along?”

Wen Xinrou took the initiative to hold Li Kai’s hand and asked. Her beautiful, gentle smiling eyes made Li Kai freeze for a few seconds.

A moment later, his low, hoarse voice sounded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. As long as Third Master Lu spares my life, I’ll marry you.”

…

In the bedroom on the second floor of Lanjing Garden Villa.

Lu Jingchen, who had been active all night, didn’t wake up until nine in the morning. He turned sideways and looked down at his beloved wife sleeping soundly beside him.

Her dark, long hair spread across the pillow, her snow-white skin covered with marks from their lovemaking, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, she looked like a sleeping beauty.

Even with her eyes closed like this, doing nothing, she seemed to be tempting him.

Lu Jingchen forced himself to get up. After washing up, he wrote a note and placed it under Ye Qianqian’s phone, which was turned off.

…

In the large conference room of the Lu Corporation, a thirty-meter-long table was surrounded by executives who were too terrified to make a sound.

They cautiously observed Third Master Lu, afraid of triggering his anger and being the next one called out.

Watching as Third Master Lu picked up his phone, glanced at it, and his expression grew increasingly grim, everyone lowered their heads even further.

Ye Qianqian woke up from hunger. Usually, Lu Jingchen would wake her up, but why wasn’t he here today?

She sat up, stretched, and noticed a note under her phone. Curious, she picked it up.

“Wife, I have an important meeting at the company today. Send me a message when you wake up, okay?”

Ye Qianqian quickly turned on her phone, sent a message, and got up to wash up.

Just as Lu Jingchen was growing increasingly anxious, his phone finally rang. His face, which had been dark all morning, finally relaxed.

What did his wife send him?

He nervously tapped open the message, only to see three words followed by a period: [Just woke up.]

Lu Jingchen’s expression stiffened. His wife hadn’t even called him “husband”, what did that mean? Was she upset?

Suddenly, the executives’ hearts, which had just begun to relax, leaped back into their throats, and they held their breaths.
