Lu Chengsheng looked into the elevator and immediately understood.
Wasn't this the handsome, powerful business tycoon fiancé that his Leader liked so much in her previous life?
Just as Lu Chengsheng was about to strike up a congenial conversation to be more friendly and build up a good relationship, Ye Si turned around abruptly and left.
"Hey, where are you going? Wait for me!" Lu Chengsheng ran after Ye Si in a groveling manner again.
In the staircase enclosure, Lu Chengsheng followed close behind Ye Si and asked with a puzzled expression, "Leader, what are you doing? Don't you like him a lot?"
Ye Si walked down the steps briskly and said without thinking, "That was in the past. I've already broken off my engagement with him."
"He actually dared to dump you?"
Lu Chengsheng was so angry that he clenched his fists subconsciously. Not long after, his arrogant haughtiness was reduced substantially. "Leader, there's no one in Honorasia that I don't dare to deal with, except him. I am too incompetent..."
"I was the one who proposed to break off the engagement," Ye Si said carelessly.
"Huh?" Lu Chengsheng stood rooted in the same spot in shock. After a while, he gave Ye Si two thumbs up. "Leader, you're awesome sauce!"
"I'm a human being, not a sauce," Ye Si replied dryly.
Lu Chengsheng was astounded again and stopped in his tracks momentarily.
Why did he feel that his leader's petite figure had grown more imposing?
How could she still be in the mood to make a joke at a time like this?
Was she not afraid of death?
The atmosphere in the elevator was deathly silent.
Cheng Yiqing stood behind Xi Zhimo and was so terrified that he didn't even dare to breathe when he saw the large patch of blood on Xi Zhimo's tightly clenched fist.
Based on his understanding of Xi Zhimo, the latter was about to explode at any moment!
Abruptly, Xi Zhimo asked, "When did she get so close to a lunatic?"
Cheng Yiqing understood at once. "I'll help you investigate this matter."
The temperature suddenly dropped. "What do you mean by 'help'?"
"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! I'm just curious, so I want to investigate further." Cheng Yiqing was brimming with the desire to save his own skin and added, "Third Master, I seem to have forgotten to disinfect your wound. Why don't you come to my place? I'll help you treat it again."
"No need. Give me the car keys."
"But…"
"Give them to me!" This time, his tone was almost commanding.
Cheng Yiqing couldn't do anything to Xi Zhimo and could only take out his car keys and hand them over. When they reached the basement one level and Xi Zhimo got out of the elevator, Cheng Yiqing gave him a reminder, "Take care of your wound. Don't let it open up again."
Xi Zhimo ignored him and got into the car, but he did not start the engine for a long time.
A few minutes later, Ye Si's light-hearted voice could be heard from the stairs. "You can't do it."
"Who says I can't do it! A man should never say he can't!"
Xi Zhimo's dark eyes were staring fixedly into the rearview mirror. After a while, he saw Ye Si walking over with a man wrapped in a floral scarf.
The two of them walked side by side. Ye Si looked up at Lu Chengsheng with a smile. "You're panting so badly after taking only a few steps?"
"That's because it's too hot," Lu Chengsheng also lowered his head to look at Ye Si.
"Why are you wearing so much if you know it's hot? It's summer and you're wrapped up so thickly like this. Are you afraid that people don't know that you're crazy?"
"I'd rather be treated as a lunatic than be chased down dozens of streets!" Lu Chengsheng's head, which was wrapped in the floral scarf, turned left and right a few times. After searching for a long time, he asked in bewilderment, "Hey, where did I park my car? Leader, I'll go look for it first. You wait for me here!"
"Go ahead," Ye Si said with a smile.
If Ye Si hadn't gone to the Land of Eternal Void, she would never have thought that the divine idol Lu Chengsheng, whose popularity swept across the whole planet, would turn out to be such a bumbling fool!
Ye Si stood in the same spot and looked at Lu Chengsheng's back profile wandering around at a loss. She smiled and shook her head.
In the next second, her arm was suddenly yanked by someone forcefully. That person simply forced her to a corner of the wall. The man's towering figure was much taller than her, and the two of them were so close that she could not see his face for a moment.
"You broke off the engagement suddenly because of him?"
Xi Zhimo couldn't suppress the rage in his heart. He looked down from his vantage point and asked icily. His strength was so great that Ye Si, who had just been reborn, couldn't fight back.
"What does it have to do with you? We're no longer related." Ye Si's tone was very airy and calm. It was as if she was talking to a stranger.
No, they were not even comparable to strangers.
Xi Zhimo stared at her with a pair of icy, unwavering eyes. "Your acting skills were really good."
Ye Si could tell the hidden meaning behind his words. He was mocking the way she had loved him in the past was just an act.
However, all of this was no longer important. She had already decided not to love him.
Ye Si's lips curled up and she gave an indifferent laugh. "Mr. Xi, you are so smart. I didn't manage to trick you, did I?"
Deep cracks seemed to erupt in the man's dark eyes. "So you are admitting it?"
"You can think whatever you want." Ye Si tried to free her arms and suddenly laughed. "Isn't this your long-cherished wish? I've been so kind and charitable as to grant you your wish, but why didn't you even thank me, Mr. Xi?"
Xi Zhimo was both angry and shocked.
It was the first time he had seen such an arrogant and sharp-tongued Ye Si.
From her eyes which were as cold as ice, he could tell that she genuinely did not love him anymore.
While he was distracted, Ye Si tried to struggle again, but the moment she moved, he grabbed her even more tightly.
The strong smell of blood lingered in her nose. She looked over and saw that the bandages wrapped around Xi Zhimo's palm had been dyed red by blood.
The sight of the redness made Ye Si even more irritated. "You're hurting me!"
To her surprise, Xi Zhimo responded by releasing his grip on her.
