The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

"I always thought they would marry Sisi to me, so I’ve liked playing with Sisi since we were young. Sisi is kind and really the only person who’s been good to me in this world. But later on, I found out they truly didn’t need Sisi; the person I’m supposed to marry is you!" Zhou Ju’an reached out and touched her face, "Even though I like Sisi, I want a family more! This family doesn’t need her; it needs you! As long as you treat me well in the future and be a good wife, I’ll treat you well too, okay?"

Desperation was written all over Zhou Ju’an’s eyes. Li Mengru smiled slightly, "Zhou Ju’an, you’re really pitiful!"

"In this world, who isn’t pitiful? That’s why I’m trying to find a way to make myself a bit happier! The Li Family needs me, and conveniently, I need this family!" Zhou Ju’an said calmly, "Even though I regretted sending Sisi to Lu Beiyao, now I’m grateful that when I went back, I was locked out by Lu Beiyao! If I didn’t have the Li Family, and Sisi didn’t like me, then I would be truly pitiful!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

When Lu Beiyao returned, he heard a servant reporting to Mr. Li: "The second Miss just came back; she went straight to her room."

"Go get her to come here!" Mr. Li said angrily.

"We called her, but you know, if the second Miss doesn’t come out, there’s nothing we can do. No one else knows the password to her room."

Lu Beiyao frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, that day when Zhou Ju’an returned, he directly entered by pressing the password to open the door.

Lu Beiyao went straight in and asked, "You said Sisi’s room password, what’s going on with that?"

Though Li Mengru had once told him that Li Siru changed the lock to avoid harassment from family members, he still asked again as if to confirm, "No one really knows the password to her room?"

The servant looked troubled, and Mr. Li replied, "That girl is quite willful. If I didn’t remember she is my granddaughter, sometimes I would wish to just break the window to get in!"

Lu Beiyao swallowed, "I have things to attend to today. Since she’s in her room and doesn’t want to come out, I’ll come another day then."

After saying so much to her just now, he also didn’t know what he should say to her upon seeing her.

"Then, you talked with Mengru..."

"There’s nothing more to say!" Lu Beiyao replied indifferently, "Though I am surprised she wants to marry Zhou Ju’an."

The voice of Li Mengru claiming she was framed still echoed in his heart, as if something was about to happen!

"If you won’t marry her, we must find a reliable person for her!" Mr. Li sighed.

Lu Beiyao nodded, then exchanged pleasantries and left.

His words kept echoing in Li Siru’s mind; he no longer believed in her!

She naïvely thought there was finally someone in this world who unconditionally believed in her, but he still doubted her.

She couldn’t help but bury her head in the blanket and cry softly.

She didn’t get up until it was time for dinner.

Late into the night, there was suddenly a knock at the door. Li Siru woke from her dream in shock, wobbled over to open the door, and saw it was Li Mengru, coming fully awake.

"Sisi, I need to talk to you." In the enveloping night, Li Mengru seemed almost as if she were disappearing.

Seeing her like this, Li Siru couldn’t help but purse her lips, unsure what feelings to face her with.
