Within the lift, Chu Mubei looked at Shi Guang, whose entire face was stoic right now. “Say, Little Sister Shi Guang, how can your face look so terrible in front of such a hunk like me? Shouldn’t you be smiling instead?”
Shi Guang looked at him. “Young Master Chu, please don’t come and act all chummy with me. We’re really NOT that close.”
“AHH!!!” Chu Mubei let out a pained look and even tugged at his own collar exaggeratedly. “Little Sister Shi Guang, you’re so cold! So cruel!”
Shi Guang’s face was so black that three wrinkles appeared on her forehead. “…You’re overacting, Young Master Chu.”
Chu Mubei smiled with a face full of glee. His gaze slighted over the plastic bag in Shi Guang’s hand before looking at the buttons in the lift—she had not pressed for the eleventh floor.
A single thought flashed by his mind that caused his eyes to twinkle before sniggering out, “Little Sister Shi Guang, you’re really quite something. You can’t be heading up to the twelfth floor to cook a meal for Lu Yanchen, right?”
As though she was struck by a thunderbolt, Shi Guang’s entire body froze up. She had initially thought that making a meal for Lu Yanchen did not prove anything much; hence, she was really upfront and open about it.
But, little did she expect that when the words came out of Chu Mubei’s mouth, they sounded so loving!
Pursing her lips, she turned around toward Chu Mubei. “Things are not the way you think they are.”
“Oh, not the way I think they are? I haven’t even said anything, and you’ve already guessed it?” Chu Mubei’s tone was particularly accusing.
With a chord struck in her, Shi Guang replied hurriedly, “It’s because something happened that I agreed to make him a meal as compensation to make us even.”
“OH! Is that so?”
“It’s up to you whether to believe it or not.”
“Little Sister Shi Guang, don’t get angry now! I believe you! I reeeeeeeally do!”
Even though he said that he believed her, Shi Guang could not sense the slightest bit of trust coming from him. All she felt was his toying and gossipy attitude.
“Say, Old Lu looks totally cold, just like an ice boulder. Not only that, he has a bad temper to boot. However, that’s what everyone knows. There’re also things that not everyone knows about. Do you want me to tell you about his weakness?” Chu Mubei lowered his volume as he asked in a tempting tone.
“What?”
“Well, it’s alright if you want me to tell you as well…” After throwing out the bait, Chu Mubei then started to beat around the bush. “However, before I tell that to you, you’ve got to tell me first…Do you like Old Lu?”
Without even thinking twice, Shi Guang replied immediately, “No.”
Chu Mubei clearly did not believe her still. “If you don’t like him, why do you want to know about his weakness?”
“Knowing the enemy is the key to victory.”
“That’s a sentence that you should only use when describing a foe.”
Shi Guang’s lips curled into a knowing smile.
Wasn’t Lu Yanchen her enemy?
“You think that Lu Yanchen is lacking a woman to train him, don’t you?” Chu Mubei rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before declaring, “You know that the way to his heart isn’t by going at him directly and showcasing all of your good points, but by loosening the reins so that you can reel him in better?”
Shi Guang was speechless, ‘What the hell is the correlation in all of that? Honestly, there’s just no way of communicating with this Casanova.’
Thankfully, they were already on the twelfth floor by now.
…
Chu Mubei walked out of the lift first and pressed the doorbell.
It didn’t take long before Lu Yanchen came to open the door. When he saw that it was Chu Mubei standing outside, he proceeded to try and close the door straight.
Immediately, Chu Mubei stopped the door with his hand and complained blankly, “F*ck! Why are you trying to shut me out of your house again? Could you be hiding a woman inside and I’m interrupting your happy hour?”
Lu Yanchen glared at him coldly. “Since you’re so bored, why are you here to look for me instead of just going after chicks outside? You were just asking for it!”
Chu Mubei frowned. “Well, it’s naturally because my Little Sister Shi Guang invited me over for a meal!”
Twisting his head, he continued, “Isn’t that right, Little Sister Shi Guang?”
