Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Damn Happiness!
As long as one meets love, no matter how smart he is, he will become silly. Nina was like this, and Shao Boqing was just the same.

Recently, he had seen Nina almost every day. Even if he didn’t have time, it would still satisfy him by sparing some time to run over and take a quick look at her. However, he had never imagined that there was such a secret hidden beneath Nina’s thick cotton-padded clothes, and he had not noticed it at all!

No wonder she didn’t allow him to have sex with her, and she would even glare at him with eyes wide open when he got closer. In order to show his sincerity, he had really put away all his other thoughts and behaved himself as a gentleman.

With great difficulty, he had finally figured out his real feelings for her; and after so much effort, he was finally able to keep her company, treating everything about her as a gift given to him by the heavens. But who could have imagined that this was just a trap she had set up early on? Perhaps without him, there would be someone else. Any man could do it. She just wanted to find a father for the baby in her belly.

Any man! How ironically. He had lost his pride and crept down at her feet, begging for her love pitifully, but he was only a random one that could be replaced by any man!

Shao Boqing headed up and drank up the wine in the glass before putting it heavily on the table, startling the bartender a lot. Fortunately, the bartender thought, it was a thick-bottomed glass. Otherwise, it would have been smashed into pieces.

Shen Li came to the bar in a hurry after receiving the call from the bar manager. Although Shao Boqing was very depressed, he would not drink alone. He was an open-minded person. Drinking wine and spitting out all his annoyances would make him feel better. Even if he didn’t really want to say anything, he would still talk some nonsense which made others confused. For him, it would be a way of releasing himself.

But this time, Shao Boqing was drinking alone and was clearly upset. Apart from asking for more wine, he didn’t say another word. The bartender was afraid and secretly reported it to the manager. The manager came to greet him, but Shao Boqing didn’t even look at him. His expression was frighteningly gloomy. The manager had never seen the Young Master Shao like this before. He called Shen Li because he was afraid that something bad might happen.

When Shen Li arrived, Shao Boqing had drunk so much that his eyes were red, with veins bulging on his forehead, and his face was rather ferocious. Shen Li did not expect that one day, the word ferocious could be used to describe Shao Boqing. This elegant young man was tall and handsome, especially his amorous eyes, which could be so enchanting when he smiled. When a woman saw him, she would be attracted by him like a bee by a flower. However, if any woman saw him now, she would probably turn around and flee in fright. Shao Boqing looked like he had a grudge against the whole world. If he didn’t destroy something, it wouldn’t be enough to let out his anger.

Shen Li stood not far away and looked at Shao Boqing for a while before walking over and patting him on the shoulder, “It’s really not cool to drink without me!”

Shao Boqing simply took it that Shen Li was invisible, impatiently shaking off his hand and continuing his drinking.

“What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?” Shen Li took the bartender’s wine and teased, “Tell me about it. Make me laugh!” Zhou Ting loved to say these words, and he didn’t know why he said something like this as well. Shen Li couldn’t help but laugh. Recently, he had gotten closer to Secretary Zhou, so he was more like her. In fact, such a childish tone was not his style at all.

Shao Boqing still ignored him and drank like a fish alone as if no one was around.

Looked like Secretary Zhou’s tricky words didn’t work. Shen Li could only become serious and say, “What’s the matter? Tell me, see if I can help you.”

Shao Boqing pushed the empty glass towards the inside side of the bar counter. The glass almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the bartender caught it quickly and then put another glass of wine on the counter quietly without daring to look at Shao Boqing. Shao Boqing reached out and grabbed it, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.

Shen Li guessed that with Shao Boqing’s personality, he was definitely not acting like this because of business. Gu Nianbin was in charge of the company, so it was not his turn to worry. He wasn’t doing this because of the Shao family’s affairs. Because the Shao Group was run by Shao Bokang, and it was also not his turn to worry. If it were in the past, it wouldn’t be possible that Shao Boqing was upset because of any woman. He had always been free and unrestrained, good at “merry meeting and merry parting,” and never pestered anyone. There were only chances that women would cry with tears in front of him, and it was rare that he was trapped in love. However, it was hard to tell now. Now that he was with Nina, and seeing how clingy he was towards Nina, Shen Li believed that Young Master Shao should have fallen in love. Therefore, he knew that Shao Boqing must have quarreled with Nina without needing to ask.

“Hey, if you drink like this, you’ll get drunk.” Shen Li purposely sighed and turned to look at the door. “Alright, here comes someone who can stop you. Nina is here.”

As expected, Shao Boqing looked over at the door and discovered that Shen Li lied to him. He glared at him fiercely and remained silent.

Seeing this, Shen Li knew that he was right and asked, “Did you quarrel with Nina? Boqing, let me give you some advice. Women, you know, you have to coax them. In the past, you were so capable of doing that. Didn’t you cope with every woman well and make them laugh? None of them looked for any trouble. Why can’t you coax Nina well? I don’t think she is bad-tempered.”

Shao Boqing finally said dully, “You don’t understand.”

“If you don’t tell me, how can I understand?” Shen Li clinked his glass against his and said, “I don’t understand love. After all, I haven’t found my true love yet. But since you’ve found yours, you should cherish the one!” Shen Li shook the wine glass in his hand with great emotions. The red liquid swayed like flowing and glittering gems, shining brightly under the light. “In our whole life, it is lucky to be with someone you like. Don’t ruin your happiness just because of a misunderstanding.”

Shao Boqing snorted, as if he was sneering, “Damn happiness!”

“If you have anything on your mind, just say it. Don’t just spit out something groundless like this all of a sudden. It makes me feel creepy.”

Shao Boqing stopped talking and put the wine glass heavily on the bar counter again, “Come and box with me!”

Shen Li looked at him with a faint smile, “Really? You have to think carefully. I won’t be merciful.”

“You don’t have to,” Shao Boqing said sullenly. He jumped off the chair and strode out. Shen Li was afraid that he would fall, so he took out a stack of bills and threw them on the bar counter before quickly chasing after him. However, Young Master Shao walked steadily in front of him without looking drunk at all. If he couldn’t even get drunk like this, then his mind was really troubled by something.

In terms of boxing, Shao Boqing was never match for Shen Li. However, this time, he seemed to have put all his strength, and his attacks were extremely fierce. Shen Li was shocked by him and didn’t dare to take his move head-on, so he dodged in an embarrassing manner. Shao Boqing roared angrily like a fierce tiger coming down from the mountain, and ferociously swung over another punch. Shen Li twisted his body and dodged. Then he kicked Shao Boqing on the knee to cause him to fall to the ground. Shen Li was about to speak when Shao Boqing jumped up from the ground and charged at him again. This time, he was even more ferocious. He took action with his hands and feet at the same time, just like a ruffian fighting on the street aimlessly, without showing the slightest bit of technique.

At first, Shen Li was afraid of hurting Shao Boqing and didn’t dare to beat him, but he was really annoyed by his chaotic fighting method. So Shen Li didn’t show him mercy then. Shao Boqing got punched again and again and kept falling to the ground. However, in an instant, he would get up with great excitement like a hot-blooded warrior.

It was just that the longer they fought, the slower he got up. He was clearly exhausted, but he still managed to get up again and again. Shen Li was also running out of strength. He gasped heavily and waved at him, “Stop, stop, I’m tired too.”

Shao Boqing, however, didn’t seem to hear him. He staggered to his feet and threw his fist at him again. Shen Li was too tired to continue the “boxing” with him. With a dodge, he got Shao Boqing throw himself onto the ground. Shao Boqing still wanted to get up. Shen Li was really angry and stepped on him. “What the hell is wrong with you? Who are you doing this for? Nina can’t see this. Do you want me to film this and show it to her? It’s just a woman. If you can’t stand her, just break up with her. Why are you giving yourself a hard time?”

Shao Boqing tried to push away his foot, struggling to stand up. Shen Li refused to let him get up and stepped on him tightly. Shao Boqing looked up at him, his voice was dry and powerless, “Let me up.”

“Okay. But you should stop fighting.” Shen Li tried to make a deal with him.

Shao Boqing nodded, “Okay, I’ll stop. I’m not going to hit you anymore.”

Shen Li lifted away his foot and pulled Shao Boqing up from the ground. Just as he was about to go to the locker to get some water, Shao Boqing grabbed his hand and said, “I won’t hit you, but you can hit me.”

“I’m not going to hit you either. Let’s drink some water to rest and then go back to sleep, okay?” Shen Li patiently said to him with a good temper.

“No, hit me, just hit me!” Shao Boqing stood there trembling, one hand grabbing onto Shen Li, and the other pulling at his own clothes on his chest. He pleaded Shen Li bitterly, “I feel uncomfortable here in my chest, so uncomfortable. Hit me, please hit me!”

Shen Li felt an irritating sensation in the nose. He cursed and really threw a punch to Shao Boqing. The latter immediately flew away like a kite with broken string and landed heavily on the ground. He struggled but could not stand up. He fell to the ground angrily and suddenly began to howl loudly.

Shen Li was stunned. When he regained his senses, he realized that Shao Boqing was crying. Without tears, he was just constantly howling like an injured wild beast. Shen Li had never seen Shao Boqing like this before. He felt very bad in his heart, feeling sore and uncomfortable, as if he was on fire. He walked over, patted his shoulder and whispered, “If you want to see her, I’ll call her now.”

“No!” Shao Boqing roared in a hoarse voice, but then he suddenly became quiet. In an instant, tears fell down his face silently.

Shen Li sighed heavily in his heart and sat down. He didn’t say anything and just quietly accompanied him.

“Can somebody tell me/What is love supposed to be/That makes me hold no fear in the face of death/With your absence/My existence is meaningless on earth.” As the poem said, Shen Li knew that although Shao Boqing was still alive, his heart was already dead. He didn’t understand how much he loved her to make a playboy like him act in such a crazy way?

The room was silent, only the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. One of them was lying on the ground, and the other was sitting there, like two statues. After some time, Shao Boqing finally let out a sigh and slowly supported himself to get up. Shen Li hurriedly reached out to support him, “Are you okay? I’m afraid there’re some bruises. I’ll get some medicinal oil for you.”

Shao Boqing waved his hand and staggered out.

Downstairs, Shen Li said, “Can you drive in this state? Do you need me to drive you back?”

Shao Boqing still waved his hand. Shen Li could do nothing but watch him drive away. Being worried, Shen Li followed behind.

However, as he followed him, Shen Li realized that something was wrong. Shao Boqing was not on his way home. He entered an old neighborhood and parked his car in front of a building. But he did not get out of the car. He just parked there. Shen Li did not know what he wanted to do, but he guessed that this should be Nina’s home. As long as Shao Boqing got out of the car and went upstairs, Shen Li would be able to complete the task of keeping him safe. When Nina saw Shao Boqing’s such messy state, she would definitely keep him. Perhaps, they would be able to make up and become as close as before.

However, after a long while, Shao Boqing still did not get out of the car. Instead, he started the car and left.

Shen Li’s heart sank. Shao Boqing should be sitting in the car and recalling his painful experience before finally having made his decision! Shen Li shook his head and drove to catch up with him…
