Li Caiyi still rembered the glint on Qin Xiangjun's face as she asked ng Renshu to lead her inside. Still, she didn't understand why ng Renshu would suddenly do sothing like that just because they were being spied on.
"Alright, explain it to right now. But first, can you get away from first? It's uncomfortable."
ng Renshu looked at how he had cornered Li Caiyi on the edge and couch and smiled mischievously. "I don't mind, even if we continue talking like this."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to retreat now, or should I leave now?" Li Caiyi frowned.
ng Renshu smiled in amusent while raising both of his hands. "Okay, I will stop teasing you now."
Then he scooted back, so he sat on the other edge of the couch. "Is it better like this?"
The couch they were sitting on had initially been enough for four people to sit on, so although he didn't return to his previous seat, it was still a reasonable distance from her. Li Caiyi could finally breathe easier.
"Alright, you can start talking now."
ng Renshu scratched his cheek sheepishly under Li Caiyi's demanding face. "About that, I probably should apologize to you."
"What are you talking about?"
"I tricked you."
Li Caiyi frowned even deeper when she heard that. "Do you an there isn't actually any spy around here?"
ng Renshu shook his head. "No, that isn't it. There really is a spy standing in front of the door, watching us. I bet whoever it was already gone to give a report to my mother."
"What? But why?"
"My mother didn't put the spy here to know what we were going to talk about. She wants to know what we are going to DO."
Li Caiyi couldn't comprehend his explanation, so she beca a little impatient. "Brother Renshu, can you just give the whole explanation instead of cutting it part by part?"
"So, what I an is, I deliberately make sothing out of nothing back there. I'm sorry." ng Renshu said apologetically. "If my mother heard about what we just did, then she might have a wrong idea about us. If you don't want my mother to interrogate you with various questions, please cooperate with to prove my theory."
Li Caiyi: "!!!"
Li Caiyi was dumbfounded by how sly ng Renshu was for the second ti that night. She was familiar with his gentle and ruthless side, but it might be the first ti he ever tricked her so blatantly like this.
His cunning way of doing things rendered her speechless. Was he always this cunning on their high school days in her previous life again?
No, he had always been like this; he just had no reason to show it before. How could he? When he was so busy hovering around Li Chunhua all the ti.
There was no reason for him to show it, at least until a mont ago.
"You even go so far just so you can have your way…." Li Caiyi said in disbelief.
ng Renshu smiled bitterly. "Yes, I'm this kind of person, Xiaoyi. If there is sothing I want, then I will spare no effort to have it, even if I have to resort to a dirty trick." ng Renshu said with a grim, almost scary expression, completely opposite from his usual gentle one.
"It's easier to blackmail people into doing my bidding rather than spending ti and effort trying to coax them. I was raised with this type of environnt, and I thought it was the most effective solution to solve a problem."
"Are you even hearing yourself right now? Do you have to always force like this?"
"Oh yes, I have. Because I have a feeling, you are hiding sothing from . You know sothing about my condition, isn't that right?" ng Renshu asked with his eyes narrowed, causing a heart attack on Li Caiyi.
Li Caiyi had beco so accustod to her current life that she sotis forgot how sharp ng Renshu could be. They didn't elect him to be CEO at a young age just because he was the heir to the ng family, but because he truly deserved that spot.
"When I told people about my dream, most people would usually ask how I feel before I go to sleep, or if I have experienced sothing similar to my dream before in real life, but you were different. The first thing you questioned was whether I rember anything else from my dreams."
Li Caiyi felt a cold sweat run through her back as nervousness grew inside her.
"Brother Renshu, you are overthinking it. I was just asking because your dream is so bizarre, and I want to know more about it." Li Caiyi tried hard to keep her voice as calm as possible, although she was utterly shaken up inside.
"You seed to be exceptionally enthusiastic when I told you there is sothing I want to talk to you about regarding my dream. As if you have been waiting for it. I'm positive you have an idea, or at least there is sothing you are curious about regarding my condition." ng Renshu folded his legs leisurely, oozing out the aura of Young Master from the prestigious family around him.
He added, "If you want to stop my mother from pestering you, then I'll have you to spill everything to tonight."
"Y-you….!" Li Caiyi was really speechless now. ng Renshu was really determined not to let her out easily this ti.
ng Renshu smiled helplessly when he saw how distraught Li Caiyi was. He really didn't want to show her his sinister side if he could help it, but if he didn't do this, she would never agree with it.
"Xiaoyi, I know this might not be the best thod to do this, but believe when I said I have no other way to convince you rather than using coercion. I really, really want to sleep peacefully again. You only have to sit there and let sleep beside you. Please?"
Li Caiyi wanted nothing to do with Qin Xiangjun, much less being associated with ng Renshu in any way but platonic relationship. She was angry at ng Renshu for resorting to such a trick, but deep down, she also understood where ng Renshu was coming from.
The current ng Renshu had yet to do anything that could harm her. While his way of doing things might be despicable, he had always made sure that it wouldn't implicate Li Caiyi in any harmful way. He even ticulously prepared for everything to not inconvenience her.
Li Caiyi couldn't tell if he was a considerate or overbearing person. He would act gently one ti and suddenly overbearing the other ti. It never ceased to confuse her.
She didn't know with what attitude she should face this person.
