Chapter 306: The Sudden Confession

Li Shengxiao’s sharp gaze swept over the cup in her hand, and he showed no intention of taking it. “Just put it on the table.”
Shen Siyuan dared not leave the tampered water here and stubbornly refused to leave. “I won’t put it down unless you drink a sip in front of me. I won’t be at ease unless I see you drink it. I won’t feel at ease!”
Li Shengxiao was already frustrated enough because of Rong Yan, and if it were any other woman who had burst into his suite, she would have already been thrown out by security.
But Shen Siyuan, after all, was Shen Mingge’s biological sister, and even if he was impatient, he couldn’t go too far out of respect for his friend.
His thin lips barely parted as he scanned the person before him, suppressing the impatience in his voice, “Is it enough for me to just take a sip?”
“I just saw you drinking too much, so I specially fetched a cup of water for you to moisten your lungs…” Shen Siyuan caught the displeasure in his tone, bit her lip, and dared not meet his eyes.
Since she was his friend’s sister and someone he had known since childhood, Li Shengxiao was totally off his guard around her. He picked up the cup, drank most of it in one go, and then put the cup down and looked at the person in front of him, saying, “There, I’ve drunk it.”
Shen Siyuan watched the distinguished man tilt his head back, his Adam’s apple moving as he drank down more than half of the cup. Her heart hammered like a drum, her eyes firmly fixed on his handsome face.
Li Shengxiao didn’t notice her odd behavior and leaned back, picking up his phone from the side for a glance.
No messages!
No calls!
Did she not notice he was out, or did she notice and pretended not to know, deliberately maintaining a ‘safe distance’ from him!
Whether the former or the latter, he could not accept it.
A layer of irritability shrouded his chest again, and he put down the phone. Realizing that Shen Siyuan was still here, his brows furrowed slightly, and somewhat impatiently, he said, “Siyuan, I want some rest alone, can you please leave?”
This time he was issuing a direct order to leave, without mincing words!
A second ago, Shen Siyuan had been observing his reaction after drinking the ‘water.’ Seeing that the drug hadn’t taken effect after all this time, which left her already panicked and agitated, her anxiety skyrocketed upon hearing Li Shengxiao asking her to go.
“I…”
Li Shengxiao didn’t even look at her, took his phone with a sense of annoyance, and planned to walk to a spot by the window where the signal was better.
Just then, seeing him about to leave, Shen Siyuan became frantic and suddenly hugged him from behind—
“Shengxiao!”
Her hug was sudden, and Li Shengxiao had no time to react, suddenly feeling a soft body against his. His first instinct was an uncontrollable disgust and repulsion!
He gripped the wrist of the person clinging onto him with one hand, barely managing to restrain himself from flinging her off, and said coldly, “Siyuan, let go. Don’t make me say it twice!”
“I won’t!” Shen Siyuan was a mess, anxious why the drug hadn’t worked on him yet. Like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline, she clung to his back stubbornly, not letting go, “I like you! I know you might not like me, but I really like you. Since the very first time my brother introduced you, I’ve liked you! Shengxiao, I like you!”
There it was; she had finally said it all.
Shen Siyuan’s mind went blank, her cheeks flushed with emotion, and her apricot eyes shone with a startling brightness.
“I’ve liked you since I was 16. When I first realized I liked you, I didn’t dare confront it; I even thought about freeing myself from this feeling. But I simply can’t control myself…”
