Chapter 2465: Furious by Him

Zhou Li entered the elevator.

He was not wearing glasses, his lips pursed tightly and his handsome face looked more serious and cold.

In An Rui’s impression, he had always been warm and gentle.

It was rare to see him so depressed.

An Rui thought of Shen Ting’s hug and was secretly delighted.

Could it be…

It was not like he did not care about her at all.

Was he jealous?

Jealous?

After Zhou Li walked in, he stood behind An Rui.

An Rui’s emotions were surging and there was not much expression on her fair face.

She did not talk to Zhou Li and was very distant.

Although she did not turn back, she could feel Zhou Li’s gaze on her after he came in.

An Rui’s fingers wrapped around the chain of her shoulder bag and she bit her lip.

What did he mean by staring at her?

He did not plan to say anything to her?

The elevator went up until it reached the top floor. When the elevator door opened, he did not say anything.

An Rui’s heart sank.

She walked out angrily in her high heels.

What was she thinking? He should be hungry at this time and went down to buy instant noodles and bumped into her and Shen Ting, right?

How could he be waiting downstairs?

An Rui walked quickly and when she arrived at the apartment door, she took out her keys.

Opening the door, she was about to go in when a hand reached behind her and grabbed her slender wrist.

“An Rui, let’s talk.” The man’s tensed voice trailed from behind her.

“If you don’t want to talk to me, do you think I’ll talk to you just because you say so?” He did not say a word in the elevator and now he wanted to talk to her. She was not going to talk to him!

An Rui struggled but could not break free from his grip.

He looked tall and thin like a refined scholar, but he was strong.

The hand on her slender wrist was slender, fair, thin, and very strong.

An Rui leaned against the door and glared at him. “You’re hurting me. Let go first.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Li let go of her.

Afraid that she would close the door, his tall figure stood in front of her.

Being so close, An Rui could smell the faint smell of tobacco on him.

She sniffed and glanced at him. “You smoked?”

Zhou Li hummed.

An Rui seemed to have discovered a new world and was in disbelief. “You know how to smoke?”

Many high school boys would easily do rebellious things after entering puberty, such as smoking, fighting, and picking up girls.

But these bad habits were never related to Zhou Li.

He had tutored Shen Mingxiu and Qi Yuan for more than two years. They had done all kinds of bad things, but he had never been influenced by them.

Under his seemingly gentle and easy-going face, there was a very firmness that even exceeded those of his age.

He had his own principles and bottom line.

If she said she would not do anything, she really would not do it.

“When I was an exchange student, I was not used to the environment abroad and would smoke occasionally.”

An Rui hummed in agreement.

Their eyes met and they were silent for a few seconds before An Rui broke the silence. “What do you want to talk about?”

Zhou Li pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Old Shen posted on his feed this morning.”

An Rui’s eyebrows twitched.

She had long deleted Shen Mingxiu’s WeChat. She naturally did not know if he had posted it on his feed.

But now that Zhou Li said this, Shen Mingxiu’s post must be related to her.

An Rui looked at Zhou Li’s expression and asked as if nothing had happened, “What did he send?”

“The photo of you wiping his daughter’s mouth.”

An Rui looked down. “I met him when I was filming an advertisement this morning. His daughter was hugging me and refused to let go.”

After An Rui finished speaking, Zhou Li remained silent.

An Rui looked up at him, his eyes slightly dark.

An Rui seemed to have suddenly realized something. Her heart tightened and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. “Are you going to ask me why I went on a date with Shen Mingxiu and his daughter in the morning and then went on a date with Shen Ting at night?”

Before Zhou Li could say anything, An Rui said angrily, “Do you think that I’m promiscuous and didn’t follow my responsibilities and disappointed you?”

An Rui did not know why she suddenly got angry. Perhaps it was because of the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, or perhaps it was because of what had happened in the past two days. Last night, she kissed Zhou Li but he did not respond. This morning, she met Shen Mingxiu and his daughter, and her career was not going well… She felt that her life was a mess.

An Rui looked away, not looking at Zhou Li’s expression. She was afraid to see his disappointment in her.

She regretted kissing him last night, but she did not regret it.

She felt conflicted.

On one hand, she did not want to lose her high school friend, but on the other hand, she did not want their relationship to continue being so pure.

She admitted that she had dirty thoughts about him!

A man like him should be the type that many grown women liked.

He was reserved, refined, and elegant!

Hearing An Rui’s questions, Zhou Li’s throat seemed to be choked by someone. His body stiffened and he said hoarsely, “An Rui, I never thought of it that way.”

An Rui felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red unconsciously. “You think like that!”

Seeing that she was about to cry, Zhou Li frowned. He wanted to raise his hand but put it down halfway. “I’m just afraid that you’ll make the wrong choice because of Old Shen. Although Dr Shen has a good personality, he’s still a little unpredictable. I’m afraid that you’ll be hurt again…”

Zhou Li never said bad things about another person in front of others, but if this person was related to An Rui’s future happiness, he would definitely stand on her side.

An Rui widened her eyes slightly. She looked at the handsome man with a serious expression and had mixed feelings.

So he was thinking about her and Shen Ting.

Afraid that she would be hurt in the future? She was really thinking too far ahead!

An Rui held in her breath and stared at Zhou Li’s heavy face. “What if I think Shen Ting is very good and want to date him?”

Zhou Li’s eyes darkened and his handsome face was tensed, looking a little scary.

But in the end, he only said to her gently, “I’ll help you look after him in the hospital in the future.”

An Rui almost laughed in anger.

She did not know if it was because her emotions were fluctuating too much, but her stomach was growling.

She did not eat much at night. Later, she went to an internet cafe with Shen Ting and kept playing games, not knowing that she was hungry.

Now, she was hungry from anger.

The atmosphere turned from stiff to awkward.

Zhou Li looked at An Rui, who was biting her lip, and said, “I’ll go make instant noodles. Go in and rest for a while. I’ll bring it over when it’s done.”

He took a few steps opposite and looked at An Rui, who was still leaning against the door frame. “Don’t close the door.”

An Rui was so angry she wanted to slam the door shut.
