My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1186: Grabbing Her Wrist!

Whether it was pretense or genuine, Chu Xi always maintained a just-right distance from him, keeping each other within a safe region.

She suddenly came over to confess her feelings passionately, which slightly surprised Li Shengxiao.

However, after his initial surprise, he actually didn’t believe the words coming out of Chu Xi’s mouth.

"Miss Chu, does your boyfriend know about this?" Li Shengxiao asked with unmatched calm, his handsome face could even be described as ruthlessly cold.

He showed none of the usual reactions a man would have when confessed to, his demeanor was as indifferent as if Chu Xi was merely saying something inconsequential.

The cold look in Chu Xi’s eyes dampened her previously confident heart, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks, "We’re just boyfriend and girlfriend, I don’t need to explain my personal privacy to him."

Perhaps it was Li Shengxiao’s chilly response, but she was unwilling to seem too desperate and wanted to salvage some dignity in this confrontation.

"Actually, I’m not even sure if my feelings for you are genuine, whether they surpass the many years of relationship I have with him, so tonight I came to see you not only to have a celebratory drink but also to test, to see if I truly have feelings for you."

Her slender, pale fingers danced across the man’s shoulder, her gaze suggestive and her actions intimate, filling the air with the scent of dopamine.

Just as her fingers were about to stroke his chest, a hand mercilessly grabbed her wrist, gripping it tightly.

"Ah~" Chu Xi’s seductive expression turned to one of unbearable pain.

Li Shengxiao pushed her hand away and distanced himself from her, his handsome face utterly cold and openly repulsed by her bold actions, "Miss Chu, mind your behavior!"

As a beautiful woman, Chu Xi was seldom despised like this; her face felt burning hot, whether from the alcohol or from shame, but the arrow was already released from the bow. Even though the man in front of her was openly repelled by her, she could only brazen it out, "Li Shengxiao, I’m being serious, I want to try with you. I’m not asking you to break up with your girlfriend, we can just try discreetly, I won’t hold you responsible, you’re not scared, are you?"

"I, a woman, am not afraid of losing out, what are you afraid of?"

She even resorted to provocation.

Yet, it was met with the man’s icy evasion, casually putting distance between them, "It’s not about fear, it’s purely a lack of interest."

Just purely a lack of interest!

The words ’lack of interest’ aggravated Chu Xi so much that her temples throbbed visibly.

It wasn’t just burning, it was a stinging sensation, as if someone had physically ripped off her face, leaving her embarrassingly exposed.

Li Shengxiao paid no heed to whether she could handle her own embarrassment. After pulling away, he coldly said, "Miss Chu, if you desire to test the waters, please find someone else. I kindly decline."

Having said that, and not giving Chu Xi a chance to persist, he turned and walked toward his study, "The Lin Family and Chu Family are friends; I don’t want to make both families look bad. So, I won’t ’ask’ you to leave, please see yourself out."

Chu Xi’s use of such a lowly tone to invite him to try was beyond his expectations. He thought, based on his investigation, that as the daughter of the Chu family, she wouldn’t necessarily share the same character as other members of the Chu family, but at least she’d possess the family’s inherent pride. He never expected Chu Xi to barge into his room in the dead of night and stubbornly linger with such intentions.

Such a forthright style was entirely uncharacteristic of a daughter born to a prestigious family with noble lineage.
