Because I like you

Ye Xin Ai glared at him, her eyes filled with unconcealable pain. Liao Zi Xiao was dressed in a white bathrobe and looked lazy with bare feet. The bathrobe was not even properly pulled, revealing a large and well-built chest, with the ends of her scattered hair covering her eyebrows. It was obvious that she had just woken up.

Looking at the man's naked body, he no longer had the mood to run around like a little deer. His heart was completely cold.

Ye Xin Ai took in a deep breath and forcefully shook herself free from the man's embrace, rushing straight into the house.

The woman on the bed seemed to be woken up by the deadlock at the door and slowly sat up. The blanket on her body slid down as she got up, exposing her chest and the small marks on her body.

It was unknown if it was done on purpose to let Ye Xin Ai see it, but she had pulled the blanket over her chest.

Even though she knew it was going to be like this, the moment she saw it, she still felt a faint pain like she was being pricked.

The lady in red tousled her messy hair and asked Liao Zi Xiao casually: "Your girlfriend?"

This question was quite laughable. How could someone like Liao Zi Xiao have a girlfriend? What he needed was to have a deep and intimate relationship with her. Even if he did, how ironic and embarrassing would it be for his girlfriend to see him having a good time with someone else?

Liao Zi Xiao also didn't know how to explain his relationship with Ye Xin Ai. He felt that they were enemies, from the very first moment he saw them, they had been enemies from every angle.

He did not know that Ye Xin Ai was already on the verge of collapsing, and just as he was about to shout out that woman's name, Ye Xin Ai suddenly threw the cup on the table fiercely towards the floor, as if she was venting out her anger.

"Liao Zi Xiao, don't go overboard!"

The glass cup hit the marble floor hard and produced an explosive sound. The cold water inside immediately splashed in all directions.

The crisp sound startled the woman on the bed. She clutched her chest and said hesitantly, "Should I avoid it?"

With that sound, Liao Zi Xiao's face immediately darkened, revealing a faint trace of anger.

"Have you had enough trouble?" His tone was not as jesting as usual, but it carried a hint of annoyance.

He hated being held by others the most, especially by women. Who he wanted to be with, who he wanted to be with, and why it was up to her.

But Ye Xin Ai, what right do you have to point at my life and be good at making decisions? What am I to do to make a report to you, and what woman am I with to ask your permission? "Just think carefully about who's going overboard, and what relations do we have with each other, and what qualifications do you have to interfere in my affairs!"

Liao Zi Xiao had been suppressing his anger for a long time. He felt that if he endured it, it would be letting the other party off the hook instead.

He was already at his limit, unable to endure any longer.

Ye Xin Ai's face sank as he asked her one question after another. Why did it become such a situation, no matter if it was her or Liao Zi Xiao, they were both hysterical.

She drew in a light breath, her voice slow and clear. "Why do I keep chasing you, why do I care which woman you're with, why do I care which woman you care about so much that you don't know what to do with yourself?"

When Ye Xin Ai raised his head, he found that her eyes were already filled with tears.

"Why can't I like you?" She pursed her lips in a somewhat sorrowful smile, her appearance actually causing people to feel a bit of tender affection for her.

Liao Zi Xiao was stunned still on the spot, as though his throat was blocked, and he was unable to say a word. Although he had jokingly asked the woman if she liked him, he had never expected that the stubborn Ye Xin Ai would actually speak of it herself. He was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond.

Tears rolled down his face as Ye Xin Ai tried to wipe them with force. However, he found that he was unable to wipe them clean no matter how hard he tried, and his tears continued to roll down his face as if he had lost control of himself.

She didn't want the man to see her in such dire straits. She turned around and rushed out of the room in a sorry state.

"Aren't you going to chase them?" the woman in the bed asked lazily.

"I …" Liao Zi Xiao stood in a daze on the spot, he rubbed his head in a slightly regretful manner, "I don't know what to say."

If he caught up to Ye Xin Ai, he completely didn't understand what he should say.

He had never thought about what kind of feelings he had towards this woman. That's right, women were constantly changing for him. He would never put too much thought into the same woman.

As for Ye Xin Ai, even Liao Zi Xiao could not figure out what kind of existence she was.

Ye An Ran rushed back to the company as fast as he could, but luckily, Kai Di was skilled and meticulous enough to prepare everything for her.

"Director," Kai Di looked at the notebook in his hand and reported seriously, "There's still a meeting with the Master Xu at 3 PM and there's a small meeting with the company at 5 PM."

Presumably, he would not be able to make it back by then, Ye An Ran exhorted him in detail: "The company will have Vice Manager Liu presiding over it, and will be the only one present to advise on this."

Kai Di nodded and replied: "I understand."

"Go do something." She waved and pulled a copy from the pile of papers on the table and started to work.

Kai Di's footsteps that was about to leave suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and reported: "Oh yes, recently there was a man who always came to the front desk to say that he wanted to see the director. Seeing that his expression was unkind and he did not make an appointment, the security guards stopped him."

Ye An Ran pondered for a moment and immediately had an answer in his heart, but still raised his head and asked: "What's your name?"

Kai Di thought for a moment, and seemed to be uncertain: "He seems to be surnamed Gao."
