Chapter 43: Chapter 43 He Understands
Well
“…”
Sheng Xian called out her na with a slight headache, “Lu Jingyan.”
If it were Chen Kai, having heard Sheng Xian speak to him in such a tone, he would have been frightened away a long ti ago.
But far from being scared, Lu Jingyan leaned her head even closer.
So close that he could feel her light breath, sweet with the scent of sugar.
Sheng Xian’s Adam’s apple moved, and he looked down at her.
Lu Jingyan boldly t his gaze without any intention of avoiding it.
After what seed like several seconds, Lu Jingyan shifted the sugar puffed in her left cheek with her tongue to the right side, then with a crisp snap, she bit and chewed the sugar twice before swallowing it entirely, “Brother, can you introduce
to the doctor who did your plastic surgery?”
“…”
“He really gets .”
“…”
“He made you look exactly like the man of my dreams.”
“…”
“Especially…” Lu Jingyan’s gaze fell on Sheng Xian’s lips, “your mouth.” She paused for two seconds, then leaned towards Sheng Xian’s ear, her voice as low as a whisper, “It’s perfect for kissing.”
“…”
Sheng Xian felt as if soone had hit a pause button, stiffening for a solid two seconds before turning his head away and exhaling, “I haven’t had surgery, I was born this way.”
Lu Jingyan looked at him, her expression not entirely convinced, “Then let
touch it and see.”
“…”
Sheng Xian closed his eyes montarily, his tone laced with a hint of helplessness, “Stop it, will you?”
Lu Jingyan: “I’m not joking, just let
touch it and I’ll know if it’s natural.”
Sheng Xian took a deep breath, feeling deep down that children in primary school could be outrageously lawless.
He looked at her with downcast eyes for a few seconds, then lowered his voice close to her ear, “How would you like to touch it?”
Lu Jingyan opened her mouth, the hand that she had intended to raise and touch his face pausing at her side.
His voice was very low, making her eardrums tingle, and she couldn’t help but shrink her neck.
The scene seed to freeze, and Lu Jingyan was stunned for quite a while before she ca back to her senses.
Quite the flirt, she didn’t know what to say for the mont but couldn’t just stand there dumbfounded, as it would make her seem inexperienced.
After thinking for a few seconds, she slowly pulled her body back and then leisurely let out a burp facing forward, “I… need to go to the restroom.”
Having said that, she stood up using the table for support, grabbed her phone, and calmly picked up her coat, walking out of the bar.
Sheng Xian glanced at the bag she left on the chair and massaged his temples with a headache.
He had co to realize that the girl, who appeared to be an expert in the ga of love with a constant stream of suitors, was actually nothing but a giant in word and a dwarf in deed.
Not at all easy to tease.
Sheng Xian sighed and recalled that two hours earlier, having nothing particular to do, he had left work early, driven ho, and sohow ended up at the entrance to her neighborhood.
At the ti, he found his behavior rather inexplicable, cursed himself for being sick in the car, and was about to leave when he saw her getting out of a car. Then, like a man possessed, he followed her into the bar.
She had chosen a seat by the window, alone at a table for four.
Clusters of people around her chatted and laughed, but there she sat, all alone in the corner, drinking.
Against the backdrop of such a lively environnt, the bright and beautiful her stirred a certain pity in him.
Just as Bo Mu had said, she really didn’t fit in. People ca up to chat with her, but she wouldn’t even glance at them. When soone got too persistent, she ‘d slam her glass down on the table with a snap and silently spit out a word.
Even through the glass, he could tell she was saying “scram.”
Later on, a woman wearing glasses entered the bar, and even without being close, it was clear to him that it was a love affair gone sour.
The man wasn’t nice to the woman at all, and while other people just watched the show, no one intervened.
She was watching too, her expression colder than anyone else present.
Then the man took the woman outside, berating her while walking towards the alley, feeling he had lost face.
After that… she appeared.
She leaned against the wall at the entrance of the alley, detached, listening to the drama unfold.
And then, she struck the man.
The rest of the bar went on as if this scene had never happened, continuing with their drinks and laughter after the man and woman had left.
This was the first ti she had actively provoked him, and the first ti he saw a glimpse of her past in her.
Sheng Xian suddenly paused as these thoughts crossed his mind.
After a few seconds, he picked up his phone, found the contact information for the dostic abuse divorce case he was recently handling, “Can I take a look at the evidence of your husband’s dostic abuse now?”
The ssage was from the client that morning; they hadn’t had a chance to et yet.
The client replied quickly, sending him a video within a minute.
It was on an open rooftop.
Sheng Xian asked, “When did this happen?”
“It happened that day at the Four Seasons Hotel.”
The client then sent a long voice ssage, “I received the package last night, but there was no return address on it.”
Sheng Xian didn’t reply to the ssage.
But his heart felt as if it had been severely struck by sothing, causing intense fluctuations.
It was her.
She repeatedly said she wouldn’t testify or help, acting as detached as a cold-blooded animal without feelings.
Yet, she had left the evidence at the earliest opportunity.
