C15 I Want to Stay with You

Ji Shiguang tugged on Lee Yanxu's sleeve.

"Brother Yanxu, let's go."

"Alright."

Seeing Lee Yanxu put his arm around Ji Shiguang's shoulder and turn around to leave, Lu Zhenting's relaxed brows wrinkled again.

"Where are you going?"

"Madam Qin, Miss Fu, we still have matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave first."

Lee Yanxu looked at Lu Zhenting with disdain, politely greeted the two ladies and left with Ji Shiguang.

Unconsciously, Lu Zhenting wanted to give chase, but Qin Xiangrann pulled him back and lightly scolded, "Zhenting, Waner is still here. Where do you want to go?"

Lu Zhenting looked at the back of the two. He clenched his hand into a fist and let out a breath. Then, he returned to his previous indifferent expression as he turned to look at the two.

The moment Ji Shiguang and Lee Yanxu left the banquet hall, Ji Shiguang took two steps away uncomfortably, avoiding Lee Yanxu's hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you for what you did just now."

Lee Yanxu's arm was still frozen in mid-air. He paused for a few seconds and then smiled.

"Let's go. I'll take you home. You should be tired now."

Hearing the word "go home", Ji Shiguang smiled mockingly. Did she have a home?

She pursed her lips slightly, "No need, I don't want to go back right now."

Lee Yanxu frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? "

Ji Shiguang let out a long breath and explained the whole situation. Lee Yanxu's expression was still calm after all.

"Then I'll arrange it for you. You're just a girl and you're wandering around alone. I'm worried."

To Ji Shiguang, Lee Yanxu was like a big brother, constantly giving her warmth.

She subconsciously wanted to reject him, but Qin Xiangrann's words suddenly echoed in her mind. After a moment of silence, she nodded. "Thank you."

"Is there a need to be so polite with me?"

Lee Yanxu raised his eyebrows, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere between the two of them.

Ji Shiguang forced a smile, "Brother Yanxu, just drive me directly to the hotel."

He didn't say much, just made a sound of acknowledgment before driving her to the "Star han" hotel.

After quickly getting a room, Ji Shiguang held the room card and didn't let Lee Yanxu send her up. She said to him without thinking, "You're tired too. Go back."

Ji Shiguang's face had a hint of worry that couldn't be dispelled. She was really tired today.

"Do you think I can trust you alone?"

Lee Yanxu had booked a suite, so it was convenient for him to stay.

Ji Shiguang lowered her head and quickly adjusted her mood. She forced herself to be alert and said, "I'm really fine. I'm so old, what will happen to me?"

"But …"

"But, I promise you, if anything happens, I'll contact you as soon as I can. Is that okay?" Ji Shiguang interrupted Lee Yanxu.

Lee Yanxu wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at her helplessly and nodded.

Ji Shiguang watched him disappear before slowly closing the elevator door.

In the next second, tears started streaming down his face uncontrollably.

When the elevator reached the floor, she opened the door with blurry vision. She rushed inside and snuggled into a corner of the sofa and wailed. It was as if she was venting out all the grievances in her heart.

Ji Shiguang was tired from crying. She was still squatting on the sofa like a robot, hugging her knees as she stared at the hotel carpet in a daze.

"Ding ding ding …"

The phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Ji Shiguang took a look at the caller and frowned. There was a trace of unease in her eyes.
