Chapter 81 - Does the Wound Still Hurt?
After hesitating for almost a minute, Shi Yuting finally picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
His deep voice was melodious just like a heavenly voice, echoing in Jing Xinlei’s ear.
She thought he would no longer answer her call since her call was not being answered. When she was about to hang up, she heard the familiar voice again.
She felt warmth in her heart and smiled.
“Ting, there will be a cocktail party tonight. Sheng Hao and others will all be there. Would you like to come?”
Today was her birthday.
He spent one birthday with her five years ago. However, she had not received any birthday wishes and gifts from him since she went abroad.
Shi Yuting lifted his eyes slightly. His gaze met with Zuo Weiyi’s eyes who was standing not far away.
Zuo Weiyi paused and then quickly lowered her head seeing him suddenly looking at her.
Why did she feel guilty?
“Ting?” Jing Xinlei could not help but frown since Shi Yuting did not give any response.
Shi Yuting retracted his gaze. He had initially wanted to reject Jing Xinlei’s invitation. However, he changed his mind after seeing Zuo Weiyi’s face.
“Okay.”
Jing Xinlei was overjoyed upon hearing his answer.
“Then I’ll wait for you!”
Shi Yuting did not say anything more and hung up the phone.
At 5.30p.m.
The company’s personnel had gone home from work one after another. Zuo Weiyi had also started to pack her things.
She raised her head and looked at the desk not far away after she had finished packing her things.
Shi Yuting was still looking at and concentrating on the document in front of him with his pair of narrow eyes.
Zuo Weiyi had nothing to do. So, she simply rested her hand below her chin while admiring the man’s carved-jade-like face.
Shi Yuting frowned as he could feel someone staring at him. He then raised his head and saw the woman looking at him in admiration.
Zuo Weiyi was startled when she met with his eyes. She tried to look away.
“Come here.”
Shi Yuting signaled her with his hand.
Zuo Weiyi paused for a second. She then slowly stood up and walked toward the man’s desk.
“Yes?” She asked as soon as she reached his desk.
“Come here.” He tilted his head and pointed to the space next to him.
She paused.
Half a second later, she came to the space beside him.
Shi Yuting immediately pulled her into his arms as soon as she approached.
“Does the wound still hurt?” He asked while lifting her skirt a little with his hand.
That deep voice seemed to have a magical power, which could mesmerize people.
She could feel his muscular chest while leaning on it. Zuo Weiyi could not help but blush!
She lowered her head and watched his slender fingers gently touched the scar on her leg. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s just a bit itchy sometimes.”
She could not help but want to scratch it sometimes.
With that said, she was trying to raise her hand because it was a little itchy at the moment.
Shi Yuting held her hand. He then reached out his thumb and gently rubbed her wound. He was extremely gentle.
He buried his face in her shoulder. Zuo Weiyi could see his perfect face that was just a centimeter away when she slightly raised her head.
She could not figure out what was on his mind.
He would be frank and straightforward at times without being considerate of anyone’s feelings. At other times, he could also be so gentle that it melted people’s hearts at times.
Shi Yuting raised his eyes and met with hers. He grinned. “Why? Are you afraid that you won’t see me again in the future?”
Zuo Weiyi was left stunned for a while. She did not understand what he meant.
After half a second, she realized what he was talking about and answered him.
