Ji Xiaoli no longer simply addressed him as "you", but reverted to "Editor Songyuan".
Li Songyuan knew full well what this meant.
After a faint smile, Li Songyuan replied, "It's because of you."
The moment his voice fell, he clearly felt the wheelchair come to a brief halt. Only after a moment did Ji Xiaoli nonchalantly continue pushing Li Songyuan forward.
Li Songyuan pretended not to notice. Although his voice was weak, it still carried his usual calmness.
"Of course, it's not entirely because of you. The racecourse outside was rented today, so our crew moved further in and filmed the indoor scenes first. I thought you might come today. If you did, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find the place, so I came out. I was hoping that if I met you at the gate, I could show you the way and prevent you from getting lost."
When he finished speaking, he coughed weakly twice. After catching his breath, he continued, "Of course, I didn't expect to see you as soon as I came out. But I'm lucky. I'm lucky I came out then."
Li Songyuan spoke lightly. But Ji Xiaoli didn't feel good listening from behind.
This so - called luck was only for her. Ji Xiaoli let out a half - laugh and said softly, "What are you lucky about? The doctor said that with your injury, you'll probably have to lie in bed for at least three months. And it's still a question of how well you'll recover after three months."
Li Songyuan said, "As long as you're okay, I'm lucky."
Ji Xiaoli fell silent and tightened her grip on the wheelchair's armrests. Li Songyuan let out a long breath in a timely manner, his tone full of helplessness.
"Xiaoli, do you still remember what I told you before?"
Li Songyuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her affectionately with his dark eyes.
"I truly like you. Don't say it's just a sprained ankle. Even if both my legs were crippled, I wouldn't hesitate."
He was so sincere that Ji Xiaoli couldn't look him in the eye.
"Give me a chance, okay?" Li Songyuan's voice became even softer, even carrying a bit of pitiful pleading. "Xiaoli, don't look at me with prejudice. Isn't today's incident enough to make you trust me?"
Although Ji Xiaoli didn't say a word, a part of her heart had already caved in.
Indeed, based on her original feelings for Li Songyuan and what had happened today, if she were to be honest with herself, it would be false to say she wasn't moved at all.
"I..." Ji Xiaoli opened her mouth, about to speak, when the familiar system voice rang out -
[Scumbag's inner thought: Damn it, I thought I was taking no risks when I saved her. If I'd known my ankle would be stepped on by a horse's hoof, I wouldn't have bothered. But it's good this way. I can use this opportunity to play the emotional card with her. Anyway, Ji Xiaoli is most susceptible to this.]
"What were you going to say?"
Seeing her hesitate, Li Songyuan asked.
But Ji Xiaoli pursed her lips and sealed all the words she had intended to say. Her gaze at Li Songyuan became a bit more complicated. After a moment of silence, she asked, "When did you start having feelings for me?"
Hearing this, Li Songyuan's face visibly relaxed. He was so relaxed that he didn't even notice that Ji Xiaoli no longer addressed him as "Editor Songyuan".
"Feelings are hard to explain. I don't know when I started liking you." Li Songyuan said, "Maybe it was the first day you came to the company, or maybe... who knows."
[Scumbag's inner thought: Of course it was the day I found out your father was Ji Changmin and your mother was Wei Yanlan!]
Li Songyuan: "Xiaoli, you're such a nice person, hard - working, simple and kind. You're exactly the type I like."
[Scumbag's inner thought: You're stupid and rich. You're easy to deceive.]
"So..."
Although he hadn't said the following words yet, Ji Xiaoli already felt nauseous. She frowned slightly, turned her head and coldly asked, "What about your relationship with Yuan Yuan?"
"I've explained it to you." Li Songyuan frowned tightly, looking helpless. "But you still don't believe me."
He sighed, "It's her who's been pestering me. Even though we've broken up, she still won't let me go. I've told her many times that there's no chance for us, but she just ignores me. And now she's even done this..."
[Scumbag's inner thought: I have to find a way to get Yuan Yuan to abort the baby as soon as possible.]
However, around the corner of the corridor, a pair of eyes were blood - red, filled with grief and trembling.
Yuan Yuan's hanging hand clenched tightly. She could hardly believe what Li Songyuan had said.
She had rushed to the crew excitedly today. After learning that he was injured, she had hurried to the hospital. But unexpectedly, she had heard such words.
Oh... right, she was being stupid. It was her who had seduced him. She was crazy to have rushed into bed with him when he hadn't clearly said they were getting back together...
She deserved it!
But she hated even more. She hated herself for misjudging people, and she hated Ji Xiaoli for having everything. Not satisfied with Zhong Canxi and Zheng Nanfeng, she even had to come and steal Li Songyuan from her!
Why! Why!
Why did Ji Xiaoli get to have all the good things in the world!?
"Xiaoli..."
Li Songyuan was completely unaware of the danger lurking in the dark. He still looked at Ji Xiaoli affectionately. "Give me a chance, okay?" As he asked, he reached out his hand and touched the back of her hand.
Ji Xiaoli jerked her hand back as if electrocuted. At this moment, a rush of hasty footsteps came. She turned around and saw Yuan Yuan charging towards her, as if she was going to strangle her!
Yuan Yuan's face was full of ferocity and despair, like a trapped animal.
"Ji Xiaoli! I'll kill you!"
Ji Xiaoli's pupils suddenly constricted, and she took several steps back. Seeing this, Li Songyuan also tried to stop Yuan Yuan. He grabbed her waist and shouted sharply, "Are you crazy!"
"Crazy? Ha! Yes, you drove me crazy! Li Songyuan, you're not even human!"
Yuan Yuan roared at Li Songyuan. The moment her tears fell, she slapped this scumbag across the face.
Li Songyuan was stunned by the slap. After a moment of daze, he flew into a rage. He suddenly stood up and slapped Yuan Yuan across the face. Yuan Yuan's body couldn't withstand the force and slammed into the wall with a thud.
Li Songyuan exerted force on his foot, and blood seeped out of his ankle again. He gasped in pain and almost collapsed back into the wheelchair.
Ji Xiaoli watched this series of changes and quickly calculated in her mind.
She couldn't handle these two crazy people alone. She should go find the security guards first! However, her action of turning around instantly stimulated Yuan Yuan, who was already on the verge of collapse.
Gritting her teeth, Yuan Yuan cursed through her tears, "Ji Xiaoli, don't you dare run!!"
A silver light flashed!
Yuan Yuan had actually taken out a steel knife from her bag.
This knife was originally intended for her to die with Li Songyuan if he dared to betray her again today. But now, Yuan Yuan just wanted to take this so - called life winner down with her first!!
