My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1188 - 1187: Not What I Imagined

Chu Xi never expected that even though she had taken the initiative to this extent, Li Shengxiao still trampled her face into the ground. She was a woman after all, and although Li Shengxiao didn’t utter a single word of abuse, every word he spoke seemed to nail her to a pillar of shame, making her feel as if she were naked, her face blushing, then paling with shame.

After several shifts of expression, she watched the man turn his back and walk away. She sniffed the sleeve of her wrist, bit her lip, her gaze darkening as she hastened to catch up to him.

Li Shengxiao had his hand on the doorknob of the study when suddenly a soft body slammed into him from behind, arms encircling his waist and pressing tightly against his back.

"I’m not leaving; I’m serious. You don’t need to keep people at arm’s length. I’m no worse than your girlfriend. In terms of conditions, she’s not even as good as me. You haven’t tried, so how do you know I’m not better than her?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Li Shengxiao had a phobia of women!

Cui Jiangjing and those around him almost all knew that, even though Lin Zhiya was so eager to have a grandchild, the reason she hadn’t pressed him to marry or arranged blind dates for him was precisely because Li Shengxiao had a severe case of phobia of women!

The employees around him were almost all men, and aside from Rong Yan, as Cui Jiangjing said, not even a female mosquito hovered around Li Group.

One could imagine how repulsed Li Shengxiao was when Chu Xi suddenly clung to him. The blood in his body was raging with revulsion, yet Li Shengxiao suddenly realized something was wrong with his body.

He should not be reacting to Chu Xi like this.

If there was a reaction, it could only mean...

His eyes suddenly went cold. He grabbed Chu Xi’s wrist, his breaths quickening, as he spun around, yanking her in front of him, his expression fierce, "What have you done to me!"

Chu Xi was frightened by his intense gaze, and on instinct, her voice shook, "What are you talking about? What could I have done?"

Li Shengxiao could feel the heat racing through his body, becoming almost uncontrollable within less than a minute since he first noticed it.

His handsome face began to redden abnormally, his grip tightening on her wrist, his eyes blazing as if they were two sharp swords, staring intently at Chu Xi, "You’re courting death!"

Chu Xi, after an initial panic, gradually calmed down, even daring to lay her other free hand on the man’s shoulder, speaking softly, "You look unwell, did you drink too much alcohol just now? Where’s the bedroom? Let me help you in."

Li Shengxiao felt the urge to kill her. He rarely got angry, but Chu Xi’s actions had undeniably crossed the line. He pushed her away, eyes ablaze, shouting, "Get out!"

Chu Xi staggered from the shove, struggling to keep her balance, and fell to the floor clumsily. Picking herself up, she braved the humiliation and once again supported the obviously debilitated man, "You’ve drunk too much. Let me help you in; you’ll feel better after resting. We can talk about any misunderstandings after you’ve had some rest."

"Get away!" Li Shengxiao smelt the perfume on her, a light scent, but suffocating nonetheless. That other woman rarely wore perfume; her scent was always a light, fresh smell of shower gel.

Chu Xi had made her calculations for so long, how could she let go just because he resisted? She shamelessly assumed Li Shengxiao was drunk and somehow managed to get him into the bedroom.

The bedroom light was dim, and she intentionally turned off the light.

While leaning in close to help him onto the bed, she spoke softly, "Your forehead is really hot; do you have a fever?"

As she said this, she took the opportunity while helping him to reach out and touch the man’s forehead.

Just as her palm was about to touch him, suddenly, her wrist was gripped once again!

"Ah." Chu Xi’s wrist was grabbed so painfully that her beautiful face contorted, and while enduring the pain, she said, "Li Shengxiao, what are you doing, you’re hurting me, let go."

She hadn’t done anything yet, what was this situation, how could he still have strength.

Chu Xi suspected that she had bought a fake product, half-mad with anger, but the current situation didn’t allow her to dawdle. She hadn’t just put something in the wine; she’d played a little trick and rubbed the substance on her clothes, with a very faint scent that was difficult to notice unless one paid attention, but given enough time, the effect would be the same as if the substance had been ingested directly.

She was shameless in wanting to come in earlier, it was to delay time!

Of course, the second reason was that this substance needed prolonged contact to take effect.

She had clearly seen Li Shengxiao fall for the trap, how could it be different from what she expected?

The pain of her wrist bones being squeezed was unbearable, and in utter agony, her voice began to waver, but still not giving up on struggling, "Li Shengxiao, you’re hurting me, I just brought you here, caring for you, do you have to be so wary of me? Let go, you’re almost breaking my wrist."

Her wrist truly hurt.

She had turned off the bedroom light on her way in, and now the room was pitch black, making it impossible for her to see the state of her gripped wrist; however, the penetrating, bone-chilling pain was no lie. Without looking, she could guess that her wrist must be swelling up, turning purple and blue.

Chu Xi could be considered patient. Otherwise, she would not have been able to restrain her ambition from the very first meeting and plot her way to today. But at this moment, she really could not bear the sharp pain in her wrist, "It hurts so much, you really are hurting me. Li Shengxiao, can you please let go?"

While she spoke, her wrist forcefully struggled, and she used her other hand to pry at the one being held.

But the man’s grip was like an iron vice cast in death; no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. Instead, because of her struggling, his grip tightened even further, so much so that Chu Xi’s scream was one of acute pain, yet she could not break free...

"Li Shengxiao..." Her face twisted in pain, her voice trembling, her lips quivering with a buzz, not daring to pull away or move, she could only stand there weakly, legs giving out from the pain.

In the darkness, Chu Xi broke out in a cold sweat, yet had no idea how to resolve the sudden situation before her.

This was not what she had anticipated!

...

The next day, sunlight streamed through the windows.

As always, at half-past eight, Gu Ming keyed into the Presidential Suite 001 with his room card. He had just set down the documents he’d brought when he heard the sound of rushing water from inside.

With a puzzled look, he glanced toward the bedroom and murmured curiously, "Who is taking a shower? Could Mr. Li be up?"

That would be too early, wouldn’t it?

Upon further thought, he remembered that the treatment had ended last night, and today they could return to Capital City. Mr. Li might want to go back early to see Miss Rong, so it seemed not so strange for him to get up early.
