Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
“Young Master, there’s a classmate looking for you.”
The woman knocked on the door, sounding sowhat cautious.
From inside the room ca an impatient voice, “Who is it? Tell her to wait! I’m busy!”
The woman turned back, looking sowhat embarrassed as she glanced at i Shu. “I don’t even know your na yet.”
“i Shu,” she replied calmly, sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa.
“Alt, okay!” The woman turned back to the door. “Young Master, she said her na is i…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the door was abruptly swung open from the inside.
Li Zhen’s face, full of annoyance and incredulity, appeared.
“Long ti no see,” i Shu said.
Li Zhen rushed over, as if he wanted to say sothing loudly, but for so reason, he swallowed it back and dryly said, “What are you here for? How did you know I live here?”
“Your brother sent ,” i Shu replied, raising an eyebrow as she looked him up and down. “Have you not washed your face in days?”
At this mont, Li Zhen looked particularly sloppy, with stubble on his face and disheveled hair. His clothes were wrinkled,
completely different from the handso and stylish Li Zhen known at school.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhen suddenly turned his head away, his tone unnatural. “What’s it to you?”
“I’m not here to control you. Don’t misunderstand. I just want to fulfill your brother’s request,” i Shu said.
Li Zhen turned to glare at her. “What request?”
“He seed very worried about you, thinking that I could help you get back on track,” i Shu said matter-of-factly.
Unfortunately, Li Si didn’t know that i Shu was the one who had caused Li Zhen to beco like this.
With her sudden appearance and seeing Li Zhen in such a disheveled state, how could his despondent ntality improve?
Li Zhen asked, “How did you et my brother?”
“We t through business acquaintances,” i Shu replied, not wanting to delve into it further.
Li Zhen, however, seed to understand perfectly. “It’s because of the investigation into i Corporation’s accounts, isn’t it?”
Unexpectedly, a smile played on i Shu’s lips. “Oh, I didn’t expect the young master to not only be stuck in his room playing gas, but also paying attention to my company’s affairs?”
“Don’t get wrong. I just happened to see so news online!”
Li Zhen retorted with a nasty tone, sowhat retaliatory.
i Shu shrugged indifferently. “As you said, it’s about that. We made a deal, so seeing how well I’m doing now while you’ve turned into a recluse with poor hygiene, do you have any thoughts? Why don’t you go wash your face and brush your teeth first?”
Li Zhen’s face suddenly turned ugly. “Just you wait!”
After saying that, he stord into the bathroom to wash up. Half an hour later, he ca out with a flushed face. “Hey, since it’s a deal between you and my brother, that ans you’re willing to do anything to get back on track, right?”
“It depends on what it is. Your brother isn’t the only option for ,” i Shu said, saving the financial spreadsheet she had just taken advantage of the ti to make and putting down her phone. “Go ahead and tell .”
Li Zhen couldn’t stand her current deanor.
They hadn’t seen each other for just a month, but in front of i Shu, he inexplicably felt diminished.
As if she were already a mature and steady adult, while he was just a child who knew nothing but throwing tantrums.
He sneered sarcastically, “Just staying in the room isn’t effective. Let’s go out and take a walk. How about watching a movie? There’s a new romantic movie with good reviews.”
He deliberately emphasized the word “romantic”, with a strong sense of provocation, as if he was sure i Shu wouldn’t dare to go.
But i Shu unexpectedly agreed without thinking, “Sure, let’s go watch a movie. I’ll book the tickets.”
“No need.” Despite feeling defeated, Li Zhen didn’t want to continue being in a weak position.
Out of so inexplicable male dignity, he took the initiative to book two movie tickets on his phone and thoughtfully bought two portions of popcorn and cola.
After going downstairs, Li Zhen drove the car to the entrance of the building. “Get in.”
He was pointing at the passenger seat.
i Shu raised an eyebrow and without saying a word, got into the car.
Li Zhen smirked sarcastically, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear stick, he turned his head to look at her, “You’re willing to sacrifice anything for work, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid your Master Si will be angry?” “I have no interest in you, and he understands that. So he wouldn’t care,” i Shu said.
Li Zhen was so angry at her words that his mouth twitched. With a cold snort, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car fast. By the ti they reached the mall, i Shu miraculously felt a bit carsick.
Seeing her struggling not to vomit, Li Zhen finally felt a sense of revenge. “If you want to vomit, go to the bathroom. Rember to chew so gum; otherwise, it’ll stink!”
i Shu glanced at him expressionlessly. “I’m not going to vomit. Let’s go, let’s watch the movie.”
Li Zhen stared at her straight back, maliciously pulling the corners of his mouth. “Let’s see how long you can hold on!”
