Chapter 42

"Take off your clothes."

"..." She looked at Mu Wei somewhat unexpectedly, scanning the two casts and several bandages on his body. "You, you can't do it now."

Can't! She actually said he couldn't! The corners of his mouth twitched upward. "Do you think I would have sexual interest in a woman who just crawled out from under another man's crotch? I want you to play for me to see yourself. I really want to see what kind of over-the-top ability you have that made Zhai Feiyun choose you, and made Ruan Lin and Shentu unable to keep their hands off you."

"...Is it that as long as I, play for you to see myself, you will stop being angry, eat and rest calmly, and cooperate with my work?"

"Are you negotiating with me?"

"I wouldn't dare, I just believe that a high-class person like you, Mr. Mu, with such a noble status and prestigious position, shouldn't break your word to a humble and lowly woman like me."

Provocation? "Hmph."

"...Please allow me to clean this up first."

Helping Mu Wei to a wheelchair on the side, He Lele began to clean the room efficiently.

"I'll go prepare the meal again, do you still want Chinese food?"

Did she want him to watch while eating?

He Lele left for a full half hour, and just when Mu Wei was guessing if she had run away, the elevator made a sound, and He Lele brought in new food.

"Start."

"...Alright."

Three minutes later.

Mu Wei looked at the cartoon characters with exaggerated movements and bright colors on the TV screen, the veins on his forehead bulging. This woman, this woman actually gave him an H anime to watch!

"He, Le, Le! You're looking for death!"

He Lele looked at him calmly, but there was a trace of shyness that couldn't be hidden under the calmness. "I... before, I just watched this..."

"..." She didn't lie. Mu Wei only felt that his punch, which used all his strength, hit cotton completely. "Are you an idiot? I wanted you to—"

"Mr. Mu!" Of course she knew what he meant. He Lele's brows were filled with obvious fatigue, and she interrupted Mu Wei's words somewhat rudely.

"Sorry Mr. Mu, please forgive my rudeness. I know that with my status and my ability, I have no qualifications to confront you. You could probably make me disappear from this world with a single phone call. You have the capital to humiliate me to your heart's content... but, if possible, please let me go. I never thought of being your enemy; I am just a... weak ant struggling for survival under your feet."

"..." He had heard begging words until his ears were calloused, but this kind of calm, neither humble nor arrogant begging... made him feel like she was just coaxing an unreasonable child! "What if I say 'no'?"

He Lele looked at him, her silent expression without the slightest sadness or anger, and she couldn't even see a trace of helplessness. Her beautiful features and peaceful lines were like a Buddha statue in a lonely temple that had been forgotten by the world but was still tolerant and solemn, making Mu Wei suddenly fall into inexplicable panic.

It was as if a big hole had been opened in his chest at some point, his internal organs had disappeared, and the emptiness made him tremble abnormally. Countless faces that had begged him or cursed him in his memory flashed through his mind rapidly—an unprecedented sense of fear, soreness, and dull pain wrapped around his whole body!

Guilt?

Damn guilt! How could he have such a thing! "You—"

He Lele suddenly turned her head to look out the window.

"Mr. Qin seems to be drunk, I'll go down and take a look."

"Stop!" He called her, but he had no idea what he wanted to say, what he should say. What did she just say? "You, how do you know Qin Zhixiu is drunk?" This was the sixth floor, what could she see!

"...Because listening to the sound, Mr. Ji's car stopped at the door and didn't drive directly into the garage." He Lele explained plainly.

☆, Chapter 51: Drunk or Not Drunk

He Lele pressed the first-floor button and sighed softly.

In the private villa area far from the hustle and bustle, the sound of braking always sounded particularly harsh, but when she was facing an arrogant and domineering young nobleman who ignored others, that sound of braking was simply like a gospel of salvation.

Shentu and Ruan Lin were both in the apartment, so the only ones who could return to the apartment at this time were Ji Jie and Qin Zhixiu. She was a bit worried when she heard the news during the day about whether Qin Zhixiu would have any reaction. Now that sound of braking told her the result directly. And, Ji Jie braked so fiercely, clearly carrying emotions.

When the elevator door opened, Ji Jie, who was outside, was stunned for a moment, seemingly startled by her.

Looking at the elegant and beautiful man lying on Ji Jie's shoulder, He Lele nodded slightly. "I'll go boil some hangover soup."

Ji Jie snorted lightly and didn't say anything.

"Qin Zhixiu! Wake up! That woman is clearly playing you! She hasn't been without a boyfriend, and every time she changes a man, she'll make an appointment with you, calling it letting her 'younger brother' review! Damn it! Which man is blind and can't see you have ideas about her? She's clearly using you to raise her own price! Now that she's hooked up with a rich second generation to spend money to promote her, she's just trying to use the entertainment industry as a springboard to find a richer sucker. Everyone knows this, where is your genius IQ?"

"You don't need to say anything more, I want a role, you arrange it."

"I arrange it? Alright, I'll go find Shentu now, let him kick Du Wei out of the crew, and you don't have to think about any roles."

"Ji Jie—"

Knock knock knock!

Hearing the two arguing, He Lele stood at the bedroom door with the hangover soup, not knowing whether to enter or not, and finally could only knock on the door to signal she was here.
