Love You Till the End Chapter 1210 - 1208: Shi Mei vs. Shi Keke (55)

On the drive back, Shi Mei fell silent, his focus solely on the road, seemingly unaffected by anyone or anything around him.

Yet, the more serene he appeared on the outside, the more turbulent his inner world became.

Typically, he carried himself with an air of invincibility, showing disdain for all and sundry, and seldom forming any deep bonds.

Consequently, no one had ever managed to get close to him, let alone capture his heart.

Shi Mei had never in his life anticipated falling for a woman he had essentially watched grow up, a woman he had even personally raised.

And why use the term "raised"? It was because when Shi Keke was young, she spent a period living with the Shi Family. Her parents, too consumed by their work, entrusted her care to Shi Yaoguang and Wen Wan.

However, even Shi Yaoguang and Wen Wan were frequently occupied with their professions and seldom present at home during that time. Despite her best efforts, even Wen Wan, no matter how busy she was, would occasionally overlook Shi Keke's needs.

Subsequently, Shi Keke's day-to-day existence, her dietary habits, even the clothing she wore, the styles of her hair, and the types of boyfriends she dated all fell under Shi Mei's strict management.

In those days, Shi Keke, like most teenagers experiencing rebellion, put up a fight.

She once purchased some rather flashy attire, but he deemed it excessively ostentatious. He then ordered the household staff to shred the garments and discard them.

Another time, she styled her hair into large waves and dyed it. He considered it too garish and, in the dead of night, dragged her to a hair salon. He kicked down the door and personally applied dye to straighten her curls. Tragically, his clumsy attempt scorched her hair, causing a significant portion to fall out...

When she mentioned that a boy in her class was showing her attention, the very next day, that boy abruptly transferred schools and was never seen again.

Even today, Shi Keke remains oblivious to the fact that the boy who pursued her was compelled by Shi Mei to relocate to another city.

"Brother, let me tell you something astonishing," Shi Keke suddenly recalled a memory and turned to Shi Mei with a smile. "When I was in middle school, a boy from my class started pursuing me. He would pen numerous love letters, tucking one into my desk drawer every morning, never signing his name. Back then, I was already the school belle, with countless boys vying for my attention. I paid those consistent letters little mind. It was only recently that I discovered the boy in question was actually the school's most sought-after heartthrob. He wasn't just handsome; he was also an exceptional student, the epitome of charm and good looks. Now, he's achieved considerable success, running a major law firm."

Shi Mei listened to her entire account before glancing at her, his lips parting indifferently. "So what?"

"So, I feel a bit of regret," Shi Keke confessed. "During our school days, I briefly harbored a crush on him, but then he transferred, and I gradually forgot about him. Brother, what do you think might have transpired if I had realized it was him sooner?"

Unperturbed, Shi Mei kept his gaze fixed forward, unhurriedly responding, "The outcome would be you paying respects at his grave with chrysanthemums every Qingming Festival."

Shi Keke raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean by that?"

His grip on the steering wheel tightened considerably as Shi Mei narrowed his eyes menacingly and stated coldly, "You have no need to understand the 'why.' You only need to remember this: any man who dares to pursue you or harbors malicious intent towards you will either be dead or permanently disabled."
