Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Dealing with Him Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Dealing with Him “Thump, thump, thump—–”
A knocking suddenly erupted from outside the room.
Han Manyin was taken aback and glanced at the wall clock, unsure who would co by at this ti. She snuffed out the cigarette in her hand before heading to the door. “Who is it?”
“It’s ,” Shen Jiangli’s voice ca through the door panel.
Han Manyin frowned, never expecting it to be him.
Especially since she had just been smoking—if he discovered that, he would definitely suspect her.
Han Manyin hurriedly crushed out the cigarette, then threw the butt into the trash can, fearing Shen Jiangli would find it. She added another tissue on top to cover it.
But the scent of the smoke hadn’t completely dissipated from the air.
Han Manyin took out so perfu and sprayed it around before getting up to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Shen Jiangli slled the scent coming from her—perfu mixed with a faint whiff of smoke, sowhat irritating.
He couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows and asked deliberately, “What’s that sll?”
Han Manyin smiled faintly, pretending innocence, and said, “It’s the perfu you gave for New Year’s. I just tried it out; it’s probably that.”
Shen Jiangli nodded and stepped into her room.
Although Han Manyin didn’t know what he was here for, his presence proved that she still had a chance, a chance for more private intimacy with him.
She closed the door and walked to his side.
At that mont, Shen Jiangli was already leaning on the sofa; she sat next to him, very close, with an ambiguous distance.
“Why has President Shen co at this hour? It’s very late; don’t you need to rest?”
Shen Jiangli slled a faint trace of smoke lingering in the air.
He turned his head to look at Han Manyin and asked, “Do you smoke?”
She had never smoked in front of him before. Not before her amnesia, nor after.
But now she suddenly smoked.
The reason for this was certainly worth pondering. Han Manyin said, “I don’t.”
“Really?” Shen Jiangli stared at her face, trying to detect any flaw in her expression and continued, “But I sll smoke on you.”
The female supporting character felt her heart skip a beat.
For an instant, she almost thought he had discovered sothing; she tried her best to disguise it, forcing herself to stay calm and said, “Perhaps it’s just the wood smoke I accidentally caught near the fireplace.”
After saying this, she also stared intently at Shen Jiangli, trying to glean from his expression whether he had discovered anything.
However, he seed very calm, and she couldn’t make out anything.
He said, “Are you able to attend to people? n other than myself.”
Shen Jiangli was observing her expression.
He had another purpose in sending her to Lu Yi’s side, which was to have her attract Lu Yi. If she successfully seduced him, then Lu Yi would give up on Shen Heyu.
Thus, he would have one less rival and a greater chance of getting Shen Heyu for himself.
Who could bla him? Lu Yi and Shen Heyu had known each other for so many years, and their relationship was so good; he even felt that she was closer to Lu Yi than she was to him.
He was dissatisfied, even jealous, so he wanted to pull Shen Heyu from his heart.
The amnesiac Han Manyin was a very good knife.
Because she bore so resemblance to Shen Heyu.
His personality had also improved a lot after the amnesia.
Han Manyin vaguely sensed what was coming. She was supposed to wait on Lu Yi, but she feigned ignorance and asked innocently, “Who does President Shen want to wait on? How should I serve, by pouring tea and water?”
She pretended not to understand.
Shen Jiangli looked at her and reached out his hand. He touched her in an indescribable place lightly and said, “Just like you did on my bed, go and wait on Lu Yi.”
Han Manyin deliberately blushed.
She shrank back into his embrace, “Does President Shen not want anymore?”
“If you wait on Lu Yi well, I will take you back.”
“But what is Lu Yi to ? President Shen told that we are lovers, so why, why send to him?”
With her eyes fluttering, Han Manyin asked him in an innocent and unknowing manner.
Shen Jiangli raised his hand and patted her face, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Just do what you are told. You don’t have the right to question , got it?”
Han Manyin nodded her head, truly ceasing her questions.
Shen Jiangli was satisfied. He pulled out a key from his pocket and handed it to her, “This is the key to Lu Yi’s room; make your move tonight. Seduce him, and even if it can’t beco a reality, by tomorrow Shen Heyu must see you lying in the sa bed with him.”
Han Manyin uttered an “oh” sound.
She clenched the key tightly, cursing Shen Jiangli’s malice inwardly. If Shen Heyu saw herself and Lu Yi lying on the sa bed, Lu Yi would never have a chance with Heyu afterward, no matter what.
What a truly malignant heart.
For Shen Heyu, he even ca up with such a despicable sche against his business partner.
Not receiving a reply from Han Manyin, Shen Jiangli’s profound eyes hovered over her, with an inquisitive tone, “What are you thinking about?”
Han Manyin imdiately snapped back to reality, and to prevent exposing herself, she bravely t his eyes and said, “Nothing.”
“Go now.”
Shen Jiangli stood up from the sofa, and glanced at a sanitary napkin hiding a cigarette butt inside the trash can.
He sneered to himself, she dared to deceive him, clearly tired of living.
He acted as though he saw nothing and left the room.
Since she wanted to lie to him, he would play along with her lie. He was interested to see who would erge victorious in the end.
After he left, Han Manyin looked at the key in her hand, hesitating over how to break this setup.
Of course, she didn’t want Shen Jiangli to succeed in getting Shen Heyu.
It was impossible for her to truly seduce Lu Yi.
After much deliberation, the best plan seed to be to join hands with Lu Yi.
With this in mind, she too left the room. She arrived outside of Lu Yi’s door, looked around cautiously to ensure no one saw her, then used the key to open the door.
At this hour, as a professional doctor, Lu Yi took great care of his health and had already gone to bed. The room was pitch dark, and the outskirts didn’t have enough neon to light it up. Han Manyin groped her way through the darkness to the bedside.
She sat beside Lu Yi and turned on the bedside lamp.
Lu Yi perceived the movent and opened his eyes, groggily looking at the woman by his bed. Being a doctor, he certainly believed in science and wasn’t frightened by Han Manyin. He calmly sat up and asked, “How did you get in?”
Lu Yi asked impatiently.
Han Manyin said, “Soone gave your key, wanting to deal with you.”
Hearing this, any trace of sleepiness in Lu Yi vanished in an instant, and he asked with a frown, “Who?”
Han Manyin feigned innocence, not wanting to reveal her lack of amnesia in front of him, as it was her trump card.
She therefore said pretentiously, “It was Shen Jiangli.”
