Chapter 23
Li Xiaoyue Pouted, Ready to Be Picked!

Shen Lei took Li Xiao Yue downstairs, got into his Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, and prepared to drive Li Xiao Yue to work.

Li Xiao Yue had been drinking too much the night before and was unconscious in the Mercedes-Benz.

Now she was sober and curiously looking around the brand new Mercedes-Benz SUV.

She noticed the interior was high-end and felt like it was fully equipped.

Shen Lei was about to drive away, but noticed that Li Xiao Yue was still curiously examining the car’s interior and hadn't fastened her seatbelt.

Shen Lei shook his head, then turned around to fasten the seatbelt for Li Xiao Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Li Xiao Yue saw Shen Lei approaching her and immediately misunderstood, thinking he was going to kiss her.

Li Xiao Yue had just decided that her future boyfriend was Shen Lei,

so at this moment, Li Xiao Yue felt no resistance, shyly closed her eyes, and her sexy red lips slightly pouted, as if inviting him to take what he wanted.

However, she didn't feel the sweetness of lips meeting,

but instead heard a click, the sound of the seatbelt buckle locking.

Li Xiao Yue opened her eyes abruptly and found that Shen Lei had only helped her fasten her seatbelt,

and she had been mistaken, thinking it was Shen Lei who was going to kiss her.

At that moment, Li Xiao Yue's face turned bright red with embarrassment, she couldn’t bear to face anyone.

But at this time, Shen Lei said with a playful look on his face, "Li Xiao Yue, why did you close your eyes just now?

And you were pouting your lips, did you think I was going to kiss you?

You were wrong, I just fastened your seatbelt..."

Li Xiao Yue, both embarrassed and angry, couldn’t help but reach out with her slender jade finger and pinch Shen Lei’s soft flesh at his waist.

This guy was so annoying, he knew she was embarrassed but still had to mention it.

“Ding-dong! 888 points of resentment from Li Xiao Yue!”

“Ding-dong! 999 points of resentment from Li Xiao Yue!”

Shen Lei was deliberately teasing Li Xiao Yue, provoking this bit of resentment in her heart.

At the same time, he didn't want their relationship to progress too quickly.

After all, their emotional foundation wasn't particularly solid, haste makes waste.

More importantly, Li Xiao Yue still hadn't completely given up on Na Jun,

and his divorce from Xie Mei Lan might still be complicated.

Shen Lei gently patted Li Xiao Yue's back and softly comforted her.

"Xiao Yue, it's not that I'm insensitive, it's just that I haven't fully divorced yet, and any promises I make to you now would be irresponsible."

Hearing Shen Lei’s gentle words, Li Xiao Yue's earlier gloominess and anger disappeared, her heart felt warm.

This man was really responsible, it was for their future development that he was being so gentlemanly.

Originally, Li Xiao Yue had thought about how she had already done everything last night, yet Shen Lei had been able to control himself, not doing anything with her, could it be that he wasn't physically attracted to her?

This made her doubt her own charm.

Now, hearing Shen Lei say this, Li Xiao Yue realized that Shen Lei was the best man she had ever met, he respected her so much, and was so responsible, he was truly hard to find.

Li Xiao Yue became even more determined to pursue a relationship with Shen Lei.

Shen Lei quickly withdrew his gaze.

He had noticed that when he helped Li Xiao Yue fasten her seatbelt, the belt went across her chest, making her figure even more graceful.

Shen Lei couldn’t help but think back to last night when he helped Li Xiao Yue take a bath.

Li Xiao Yue seemed a little petite, but even though she was small, she was complete, she really shouldn't be underestimated!

Shen Lei suppressed his wandering thoughts and concentrated on driving,

planning to first take Li Xiao Yue to her company, then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce Xie Mei Lan.

However, on the way, he received a call from Xie Mei Lan.

His soon-to-be ex-wife, Xie Mei Lan, said coldly on the other end of the phone, "Shen Lei, I've been waiting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau for a while, why haven't you come yet?

Don't you still want to get a divorce?

I’m telling you, we’re getting a divorce!

Our relationship has broken down, don't waste each other's time anymore."

Shen Lei said calmly, "Okay, I’ll be there soon."

He hung up directly.

Li Xiao Yue saw Shen Lei’s expression was a little bad and quickly asked, "Is it your ex-wife Xie Mei Lan?"

Shen Lei said, "Yeah, she's at the Civil Affairs Bureau waiting for me now, urging me to hurry up.

I'll take you to work first, then I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Li Xiao Yue blinked and said, "The Civil Affairs Bureau isn’t far from here, it's on the way, you two can go get the paperwork done first, then you can take me to work."

Li Xiao Yue felt very sorry for Shen Lei.

Before, she had heard about how good Shen Lei was to Xie Mei Lan, every day he tried to cook delicious food for Xie Mei Lan, he wouldn't let Xie Mei Lan do any housework, he did it all.

When Xie Mei Lan's mother was hospitalized with cancer, Shen Lei was the one who stayed with her the whole time.

All the debts they had were to pay for Xie Mei Lan's mother's treatment.

Shen Lei dressed very plainly, while Xie Mei Lan wore flashy clothes every day.

In the end, Shen Lei’s efforts were not recognized by Xie Mei Lan, he was instead always disliked.

Li Xiao Yue, as an outsider, couldn’t say anything before.

But now, Li Xiao Yue felt that she was Shen Lei’s future girlfriend and didn’t want her future boyfriend, Shen Lei, to be hurt by his soon-to-be ex-wife, Xie Mei Lan, anymore.

She wanted to go and support Shen Lei, she wanted to let Xie Mei Lan see that Xie Mei Lan was blind, short-sighted, and had poor judgement, and couldn’t see Shen Lei’s worth.

There were people in this world who could see Shen Lei’s value.
