Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Kim Zhiyuan Almost Kissed Xi Zelie

After they left, the people in the coffee shop were still gossiping about them, completely unbeknownst to Kim Zhiyuan.

Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

She held onto the arm of the handsome man, first went shopping, then watched a movie, grabbed a doll, and finally, after enjoying a French meal, the sky gradually darkened.

She didn’t return home, but drove to the seaside.

The seaside at night was scattered with couples, holding hands and walking along the shore.

”Xi Zelie, here.” She ran ahead first, mimicking other girls by taking off her shoes and placing them aside, stepping into the seawater. Full of smiles, she waved to the man not far away.

Xi Zelie had never seen her so indulgent before; his pupils were complex as he slowly walked towards her.

”Do you want to join me?” The sea breeze blew her long hair into disarray, making her hem of the skirt flutter loudly, making her enchanting and stunning.

”I can walk with you.” Although Xi Zelie did not enter the water, he walked beside her, casually helping her hold her shoes on the beach and said flatly, ”Let’s go.”

Kim Zhiyuan noticed the small detail of him holding her shoes, her heart fluttered for a moment. She shifted her gaze, barefoot on the beach, stepping forward step by step along the coastline...

”Do you know? I’ve had a dream for a very long time, dreaming that you and I would have this day. But when this dream really came true, it turned out to be completely different from what I imagined.”

Her fair feet stepped on the beach, leaving a trail of footprints. Kim Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and looked at the man in front of her. The contour of the man’s features was etched deeply in her mind, sketched countless times familiarly. However, despite sketching it so many times, years upon years, she still couldn’t enter his heart.

Suddenly overwhelmed by an impulse, her beautiful eyes focused on the man’s face, she tiptoed, offering her red lips—

Just as she was about to touch the man’s slightly cool lips like rosemary, an arm suddenly crossed in front of her chest, ”Sorry, Zhiyuan.”

Kim Zhiyuan was abruptly rejected, tears welled up in her eyes, although she tried her best to conceal them, but the water in her eyes could not be hidden, ”Didn’t you promise to spend a day with me? Is it not over yet...”

Xi Zelie lowered his head, glanced at her tightly clasped, slightly trembling hand, sighed, and pressed against his forehead, seeming a bit troubled, ”Zhiyuan, I’m sorry, I was too anxious. I shouldn’t have come to you today. Pretend I never sought your help, I’ll take you back.”

He was too anxious, focusing only on himself, wanting to quickly help Chi Enen find out who’s behind the scheme.

Forgotten that seeking help from Kim Zhiyuan was hurtful to her.

If he didn’t like her, he shouldn’t hurt her.

As for Enen’s matter, he would find another way.

After Xi Zelie figured it out, he put her shoes down, his midnight-like pupils reflecting guilt, he stepped back, ”Let’s go, it’s very late.”

On a summer night, the seaside was still very cold, especially since she was barefoot in the water, which made her even colder.

But the cold outside couldn’t compare to the cold inside her heart.

”Do you really not need my help anymore? Aren’t you worried about her?”

”I’ll find a way myself.”

Why?

Earlier he wanted her help, didn’t he?

Why suddenly no longer need it? Just because she wanted to kiss him?
