The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 303: Someone Is Going to Jump off the Building

All kinds of thoughts were entangled in her mind. Shen Sisi pursed her lips tightly, but a sweet feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. The temperature on her face increased, and even her heartbeat quickened. It had been a long, long time since she had felt this way. This feeling was like the feeling she had when she was with Zhuang Li. It was sweet, but also filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Shen Sisi blushed. “I know that Mr. Cheng is a very, very good person. I will never laugh at you.” As she said that, she suddenly looked up, but she didn’t expect Cheng Songyang to be looking at her as wel. Their gazes met and quickly separated. Shen Sisi knew that Cheng Songyang liked her, but she didn’t expose this. She enjoyed this ambiguity. For some reason, Cheng Songyang didn’t directly express his love. Instead, he politely asked, “As a thank you, can I invite you to lunch?”

As he spoke, Cheng Songyang moved his body and politely extended his arm. As he spoke, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. “I rushed over because of today’s news. I didn’t have time to have lunch.”

Shen Sisi subconsciously wanted to agree, but when her mouth moved and she felt the mask on her face, she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment. She raised her hand to touch the mask and said softly, “It might not be too convenient.” She forced a smile. “I’ll treat Mr. Cheng to a meal next time.”

“Why?” This time, Cheng Songyang wasn’t considerate and didn’t ask. Instead, he looked at Shen Sisi with concern and asked gently, “I didn’t ask you why you were wearing the mask just now. Is your face injured?”

“I... I’m fine.” Shen Sisi’s eyes reddened. She quickly lowered her head to prevent Cheng Songyang from seeing her reddened eyes.

“You can’t even tell me?” Cheng Songyang lowered his eyes in disappointment. “I thought we were good friends and could share some secrets.”

Seeing Cheng Songyang like this, Shen Sisi subconsciously shook her head. “Of course not... I just don’t know how to say it.” She touched her face. She had carefully looked in the mirror before going out today. Although there were still some bruises on her face, the redness and swelling had already subsided. After her careful care, it would only make her look more pitiful and not particularly ugly. This was also the reason why she went to see Zhuang Li with such a face today. Just as her mother had said, the advantage of a woman wasn’t only in her beauty, but also in showing weakness appropriately.

Thinking of her appearance in the mirror, Shen Sisi felt a little relieved. She mustered up her courage and took off her mask. “I hope... I hope I won’t scare you.” She observed Cheng Songyang’s expression with a perturbed face. After seeing the marks on her face, Cheng Songyang was slightly stunned. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch her cheek. “How could this be? Who dared to treat you like this... It seems that every time I see you, you are covered in bruises.” Cheng Songyang’s eyes were full of heartache. His warm fingertips landed on Shen Sisi’s face and he asked in a low voice, “Are you still in pain?”

Shen Sisi was stunned. It seemed that ever since she was injured, no one had asked her if she was in pain. Shen Yong didn’t need to be mentioned. Even her mother, Qiao Wei, only wanted to not leave any scars on her face so as not to ruin her beautiful looks. She even wanted to let her use the scars on her face to win pity. As for Zhuang Li, he didn’t even ask a single question. He didn’t even say a single word of concern.

Now that Cheng Songyang had asked, Shen Sisi suddenly felt touched. Her eyes were red. “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” She hurriedly put on her mask, she smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine now. I’m all better.”

Cheng Songyang sighed with heartache. “Let’s go and eat.” He looked at Shen Sisi with gentle eyes. “It’s okay if you don’t want to say it. As long as you want to say it, I’ll be the first to listen. If there’s anything you need help with, you can come and find me anytime.”

Shen Sisi’s heart beat faster. She lowered her head and nodded vigorously. The two of them went to eat. On the other side, Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan had just finished their meal and had just walked out of the private room. They heard a flurry of screams, and then the entire restaurant became chaotic. Someone shouted, “Call the police. Someone is going to jump off the building!”

......

Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan looked at each other. A bad feeling welled up in their hearts at the same time. Shen Hanxing grabbed the waiter who was in a hurry. She asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on? Who is going to jump off the building?” Who would jump off the top floor of a restaurant?
