Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 575 - 572: His Heart Ached

Shen Lin was not annoyed, he simply sneered lightly: ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Could you stop abandoning allies as soon as you cross the river? Otherwise, later on, do you want me to call your brother over here?"

At these words, Li Zaijun: "..."

She wiped her face, her little face tensed up, and she quite disgracefully stopped talking.

Shen Lin also released her hand and stopped touching her. However, as they were walking, Shen Lin suddenly told her to wait, and then, they both stood there, seemingly waiting for something.

Honestly, Li Zaijun really didn’t expect it would be him showing up.

She still remembered the last time he ate at her house, before leaving, he had her cornered against the wall... and even, pressed against her.

Her lips pursed slightly, and she suddenly felt a mix of complexity and helplessness.

If you were to say he was bad, a philanderer, he only had normal girlfriends in the past, and when he saved her, he didn’t do anything to her; it was all just her overthinking.

But to say he wasn’t bad, he still had that sort of physical reaction towards her.

She didn’t want to have much to do with him, yet she had no choice but to seek his help.

Thinking it over carefully, no matter what, she should try not to lose her temper with him for now, and try to get along as harmoniously as possible.

But at the moment, standing there, she was becoming impatient and asked,

"Are we good now? Why are we standing here?"

The principal’s office was waiting, and she had already seen her ex-boyfriend Xu Wenbin and his group staring at her, eyeing her up.

She gave them a fierce glare with a roll of her eyes, showing no signs of weakness.

Before Shen Lin could speak, Shen Lin’s assistant quickly came over, holding something in his hand. After running over, he swiftly handed it to Shen Lin.

"Mr. Shen, here you are."

Shen Lin took it and responded with a faint hum, and then began to sort through the item in the plastic bag he was holding, which, inside the bag, wasn’t anything else but ice cubes.

That’s when Li Zaijun finally got a clear view.

He tied it up and then turned to look at her.

Li Zaijun: "..."

She watched in disbelief as this mature man much older than her.

His fingertips lightly brushed the hairs on the side of her cheek, tucking them behind her ear.

The motion looked so natural.

Yet her body froze.

The redness and swelling of her face caused by the slap were completely exposed, causing some stinging pain and inexplicably making her feel embarrassed and annoyed.

She didn’t want anyone to see her in such a mess...

Especially him.

But just when she wiped her cheek, he pinched her chin and turned her face back toward him.

The lazy and flirtatious airs that had hung around his eyes and brows dissipated, his expression turned exceptionally serious.

He lifted her little face with one hand, while the other held the ice against her swollen cheek.

He didn’t ask anything, only slowly said:

"Next time you can’t solve something by yourself, don’t force it. You don’t need to look for your uncle or your brother; come straight to me."

At these words, Li Zaijun’s heart trembled fiercely.

"..."

Coincidentally, a firm yet soft sensation seemed to strike at the bottom of her heart, evoking a complex set of emotions.

But as nice as he sounded, why should she come to him?

All men are scum; she once treated a man with her wholehearted sincerity, but what did she get in return?

Foolishly immersed in his sweet nothings, she gave not just her body, her time, her money, her feelings, but even wrote his academic papers for him.

And when she was exhausted to death, all he had was a gentle:

"Baby, you’ve worked hard."

That was it; he never offered to share her burden nor showed any acts of contribution.

The more she thought, the sourer Li Zaijun felt at the tip of her nose, and her eyes began to heat up.
