As soon as he arrived, he got straight to the point, and Gu Hai’s expression turned somewhat unsightly.
Mo Ran felt a sense of clarity in his heart—it must have been Gu Yixuan who had entrusted her protection to him.
He was really thoughtful, knowing once he left, they would take her, so he gave Lei Li a heads-up in advance.
She just knew Gu Yixuan would keep her safe...
"Here comes someone, bring out the tea first." Gu Hai beckoned Lei Li to take a seat, "Since it’s rare for Lei Li to visit, why not sit down and have a cup of tea?"
"Okay." Lei Li then said to Mo Ran, "You should sit down too."
Mo Ran glanced at Gu Hai and the others, nodded her head, thinking it’s better to sit than to stand.
"I wonder on whose behalf Lei Li has come to take her away," Gu Hai asked knowingly.
’’It’s not someone else, it’s your very grandson, Gu Yixuan. He asked me to protect his woman. You know, we people of the underworld value credibility very much. Since I promised him, of course, I will safely take her away."
Lei Li leaned on the sofa with his tall frame, legs crossed on one foot, in a casual pose that somehow wasn’t off-putting.
Gao Meiru smiled lightly, "Lei Li is overthinking, we only invited her for a tea, nothing else. She is Yixuan’s woman, and we just wanted to meet her, to check on her for him."
Mo Ran frowned, wanting to retort. Lei Li gave her a calm-down look, and she had to suppress the anger bubbling in her chest.
"Since it’s just for a drink of tea, now that the tea is drunk, I suppose I can take her and leave." He used a declarative sentence, with no hint of it being a question.
Gu Hai wasn’t very afraid of Lei Li, after all, a conflict wouldn’t be good for Lei Li either.
He leaned on the sofa, his expression indifferent, "Lei Li, you are a man who handles big affairs; you should know that some things can’t be forced. If you have things to do you may leave first. But she cannot go, we still have something to tell her."
"I have nothing to say to you!" Mo Ran immediately said.
She knew she couldn’t let Lei Li leave, if he left, she would be done for.
"You may not have something to say to us, but we have something to say to you," Gao Meiru gave her a warning glance.
Damn! Lei Li cursed silently. The source of this content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Damn it, can’t they just speak plainly?
From the beginning, he had made his intentions clear and hadn’t been pretending; he really couldn’t stand their pretense!
Standing up, his tall stature had a commanding presence, giving off an intimidating impression even without intending to.
