Chapter 190

Three days passed, calm and uneventful. Lingyu was on a business trip with Li Yiquan and said she would be back on Friday. The little kitten Red Bean was enjoying itself at home; it wouldn't hide from her but wouldn't actively stick to her either. Only when sleeping at night would it quietly sleep beside her. After being scared twice, she got used to it.

On Thursday, Mu Wei finally called.

After getting off work, He Lele had just walked to the entrance of the agreed hotel when the beautiful and dignified hostess seemed to know her, saying that Mr. Mu had already booked a table in the Chinese restaurant and asked her to rest for a moment, he would be there soon.

Sitting by the window, He Lele flipped through the menu, thinking boredly that if Mu Wei didn't come, she might not even be able to pay the tea fee... However, the money from her part-time job should arrive tomorrow afternoon. If it didn't arrive, her pickled radish would be finished too.

"It really is you." A somewhat familiar voice sounded suddenly.

He Lele turned her head following the sound. As soon as she saw the young man speaking, her eyes immediately became vigilant and cold, her elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Fan Siyi sat down beside He Lele on his own, crossed his legs, put one arm on the back of the sofa, and tilted his body to carefully examine the woman in an ordinary suit in front of him. For the past half month, he had been driven to distraction. The artists under his company were either canceling contracts or refreshing negative news for him every day. The company's stock price plummeted all the way after rising for two days, and his family background was also exposed completely on the internet with added embellishments. The old man at home had spoken, telling him to close the company, otherwise, he would be expelled from the family.

Regarding everything that happened, at first, he wasn't sure. It wasn't until trouble followed trouble, and the board of directors was forcing him to step down, that he finally confirmed—Shentu Mo, hahaha! Shentu Mo!

Finally, you also have a woman you care about, huh! Hmph!

As soon as Fan Siyi sat down, He Lele stood up without a word, "Excuse me, let me pass."

"What if I don't?"

"...Waiter! Please, could you ask this gentleman to move? I need to go out."

"Uh... this gentleman..." The waiter looked troubled.

Fan Siyi chuckled, grabbed He Lele's arm, pulled her into his arms, and said to the waiter, "It's fine, you go get busy, my girlfriend is throwing a tantrum."

"Let go of me! I don't know you at all! If you don't let go, I'll call the police!" He Lele struggled hard, not wanting to cause too much of a scene, and could only glare at Fan Siyi angrily while struggling.

"Heh... you weren't afraid of you calling last time. Now that you're back in the country... do you think I'll be afraid?"

Hearing Fan Siyi's words that showed such contempt for the law, He Lele closed her eyes, "Let go of me."

"No."

"..."

"Do you know what Shentu Mo has done for you? Heh... I'm really curious, if I were to have you, what kind of reaction would he have?"

He Lele looked at him like he was a monster. Is he crazy? He said what "Shentu Mo has done for her"? What kind of joke is he telling?

"So you've troubled me time and again just to provoke Shentu Mo?" He Lele asked back.

"What? Do you have a better idea?" Fan Siyi lowered his eyes to look at the full swell of her chest. Thinking about touching her, his body actually started to get excited.

"You've found the wrong person. I have nothing to do with Shentu Mo. Anything he does couldn't possibly be because of me."

"...Hahaha!" Fan Siyi suddenly felt great, "Alright, as long as you say that sentence you just said again, I won't trouble you anymore, how about that?"

Seeing him laughing so happily, He Lele suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Uncle Miao, has he arrived? Alright, I'm on the first floor, I'll be up immediately." After finishing the call, Fan Siyi didn't care whether He Lele was willing or not, grabbed her hand, and took her straight to the private room area on the third floor.

Pushing open the door, Fan Siyi said to the two people in the room with a full smile, "Sorry, I'm late."

"A-Yi... who is this young lady?" The old man in the room asked with a frown. He was entrusted by Fan Siyi's mother to come and be a peacemaker, but he didn't expect that Fan Siyi, who had always been very well-behaved as a child, would be so ignorant now that he was grown up, bringing a woman at a time like this!

"Her? She is a mutual friend of mine and my old classmate—ah! No, Lele, didn't you just say that you have nothing to do with my old classmate?" Fan Siyi asked as if they were intimate.

He Lele stared straight at the black-clad man sitting elegantly beside the round table in the room, feeling only that her stomach was frozen from her stomach all the way to her heart and lungs. Her cheeks were so stiff she couldn't move them at all, and she couldn't even spit out a single syllable from her throat.

Shentu Mo's thousand-year-ice-like eyes glanced at her small hand being held tightly. His gaze shifted, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a shallow smile, as if he was in a good mood. But his next action made He Lele feel cold to the bone—

He slowly took off those thin-rimmed glasses that reflected the gorgeous lights, his ink-black pupils staring at her like a hunting demon god with unfathomable emotions!

Writer's words:

Couldn't post it no matter what, tossed and turned for half a day and asked the editor before I knew Xian was acting up again... hope the phone works!

Love you all!

"Come, sit." Fan Siyi pulled out a chair, grabbed He Lele's hand, and led her toward the table.

He Lele suddenly broke free from his palm, looked at Shentu Mo with nervousness and fear. Her throat was still blocked and she couldn't say a word, her abdomen was faintly cramping, and she instinctively turned to leave.

"Baby, where are you going?" Fan Siyi took a long stride and blocked her path, his flirtatious tone carrying a hint of threat.

He Lele bit her lower lip, "Move."

"Did baby forget what I just said? Hmm?"

As long as she said that sentence again, he wouldn't trouble her anymore?
