Chapter 1443: Indulging In An Addiction

Ye Youyou had just been sold out by her most-trusted sister. The emotions in her heart were complicated. She knew that Ye Qianqian’s actions were for her own good.

Honestly speaking, Li Jinnan was indeed a good man. Regardless of whether it was his status, background, character, or looks, they were all faultless. It was precisely because of that she was hesitant to go further.

The gap between the both of them was far too wide. In the first place, there was still a huge problem standing between them. Her marriage.

“Let’s go.” Li Jinnan’s voice was low and slow. He had a seductive charisma that couldn’t be described.

Ye Youyou took a long breath and ambled along slowly with Li Jinnan. The two of them were quiet the whole way. Soon, they were by the Kingstown River.

The night wind was cool. The lights around them reflected on the surface of the water. It was a beautiful sight. Just like the man beside her, it was out of her reach.

“GM Li,” Ye Youyou gazed ahead at river, her eyes never leaving the twinkling reflections. “I…”

“Calling me GM Li is too formal.” Li Jinnan held a cigarette between his fingers as he tapped the ashes off. “I don’t like it. Change your form of address.”

Ye Youyou was silent. She looked at the glow of the cigarette between his fingers and replied, “I don’t think we are well-suited for each other.”

Li Jinnan chuckled. His eyes, chilly like the night wind, swept across her from head to toe. “I think we suit each other perfectly.”

“We think…” Ye Youyou paused to consider her words before continuing. “I think the gap between us is too great.”

Li Jinnan didn’t say a word. He took a step to his side and closed the distance between them.

Ye Youyou had nothing to say to that. She instinctively moved away to her side. She suddenly felt him holding her waist in place.

In that instant, the man beside her turned his head over. His dark and fathomless eyes gazed deeply into hers. His lips lifted, but it wasn’t exactly a smile either. He said, “You don’t have to worry about whether the gap between us is big. Leave Shen Luo’an to me. The two of you are in a marriage for show anyway. It’s only a matter of time before you get divorced.”

Li Jinnan tightened his arm around Ye Youyou’s waist and drew her even closer to him.

Ye Youyou could keenly sense the warmth from the man radiating out, and she could smell the scent of cigarettes. She frowned and tried to struggle out of his hold.

Li Jinnan’s hand stayed in place unyieldingly. He said, “If you continue moving, you won’t be going home tonight.”

Ye Youyou was stunned. Her face immediately blushed. She ground out between her clenched teeth, “You thug!”

Li Jinnan didn’t look at her. He kept his eyes on the cigarette in his hand as he said, “Haven’t you heard that women love bad boys? I don’t mind being a thug as long as it’s to your liking.”

“It’s not!” Ye Youyou immediately objected.

“It doesn’t matter,” Li Jinnan had expected that reaction. He took a puff of his cigarette. “You’ll like it sooner or later.”

Ye Youyou inflated her cheeks before asking, “How is what you’re doing meaningful at all?”

“Some people are addicted to alcohol. Some are addicted to tobacco, and some are addicted to drugs. Do you know why?” Li Jinnan looked at her out the corner of his eye.

His eyes were dark like the night sky and held her captive.

Ye Youyou was distracted for a moment before replying, “Because they fell into addiction.”

Li Jinnan’s bottom eyelids turned up a little. He looked down subtly and gazed at the river surface. “Yeah, because they fell into addiction and didn’t want to resist it. So, they indulged in it.”

Ye Youyou understood what Li Jinnan meant in that instant.

Because they didn’t want to resist the addiction, they indulged in it. What a beautiful statement. It was something only someone like him would say.

Ye Youyou pursed her lips. She felt a strange stirring in her heart. In an instant, her heartbeat sped up to a dizzying pace.
