The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 971 - 53: Do You Like That Kind of Man?
President Lu’s hand froze on her face, and Li Siru could still feel the warmth from the broad palm, as if it was about to burn her right cheek.
He didn’t speak, Li Siru pursed her lips and added, "With my cousin!"
President Lu naturally withdrew his hand, with Li Mengru’s words still echoing in his mind, "Sisi and Cousin had an arranged engagement since childhood... Cousin is the son adopted by Uncle..."
Li Siru watched as he retracted his hand, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, waking her completely. She unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, then walked over to open the passenger door, "President Lu, thank you for the flowers, I’m in a hurry to get back, could you please get out of the car!"
President Lu looked up at her, and with long strides, got out of the car directly!
Li Siru extended her hand to him, "During my time at Yi Tai, I will still manage my work well, and when I come back from abroad, it will probably be to attend your and my sister’s wedding. The next time we meet, you’ll truly be my brother-in-law!"
Li Siru feigned calmness, keeping her slightly numb hand from trembling. As he had not yet held her hand, and just as she was about to withdraw it, President Lu grabbed it, pulled her into his arms, and turned her around to pin her against the car, "Studying abroad? Avoiding me?"
He asked condescendingly, his deep eyes carrying a hint of anger. Li Siru tensed up, unsure of what to do, and finally avoided his gaze, replying, "Whether I go abroad or not has nothing to do with President Lu. This is my aspiration."
"Fine, let Zhou Ju’an help out at the Li Family’s tea estate, and whichever country you want to go to, I’ll take you there!"
He spoke domineeringly and childishly, further unsettling her heart. She used a lot of strength to push him away, "Why can’t you understand? I don’t like you, Lu Beiyao, I do not like you! Do I have to say it this clearly for you to get it? You’re obviously a smart person, can’t you understand if I put it gently?"
"Then can’t you understand if I put it gently? Aren’t you a smart person too? I want you; it has to be you! Or..." President Lu took a step toward her, "Do you really have no feelings for me, or are you nobly letting me go to your sister, obediently becoming my sister-in-law? Hmm?"
Li Siru felt exposed, her face flushed red with heat, she lowered her head slightly before saying, "It’s truly funny, Lu Beiyao, who do you think you are? Does everyone like you? In my eyes, you’re just the eldest son of a prestigious family, with a natural advantage, but that doesn’t mean I like you."
"Then do you like your cousin?" President Lu asked.
"Otherwise? Why else would I go abroad with him? You might not know, we... had an arranged engagement since childhood, didn’t my sister mention it last time? Did you forget?" The more she spoke, the more convincing she became, convincing even herself of the lie.
"Zhou Ju’an..." President Lu thoughtfully considered Zhou Ju’an, "You like that kind of man?"
"Yes, that’s right! Anyway, I will never like you!" Li Siru gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, and continued, "I hate men like you who are self-righteous and like to get physical. Besides, your so-called advantages are nothing but a huge trouble in my eyes. Marrying into a prominent family must have even more complications, right? I’ve had enough in the Li Family over the years. I just want to marry an ordinary man and live a carefree life. So, I could never like you!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around, slammed the door, and sped away.
