Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Lu Qilin turned around and walked back. As he stepped out of the side door, he looked up and saw a tall figure leaning slightly against his car, arms crossed over his chest.
The person was hidden in the darkness, and only a rough silhouette could be made out. He seemed to be a tall man, possibly even taller than himself.
Lu Qilin politely approached, initially thinking the person had just mistaken the car, but before he could finish, the man turned his face towards him.
In the night, the man’s eyes glinted with a cold light, like a wolf stalking its prey on the prairie. Even though Lu Qilin was a prominent figure in the legal world, having handled many cases involving formidable individuals and always maintaining his composure, he couldn’t help but shiver upon meeting this man’s gaze.
Sheng Jianan had already stood upright, looking extremely displeased. It was this man again; that woman had damaged this man’s car yet again, and this man had even touched that woman’s hair.
For a moment, Sheng Jianan almost thought that the reason Tang Yanqi wasn’t returning to the villa with him was because of this man in front of him.
Although that thought only lasted a moment before he dismissed it, Young Master Sheng was truly in a foul mood now.
Sheng Jianan stepped forward, positioning himself under the streetlight. Lu Qilin saw his face, a look of shock flickered in his eyes but quickly returned to calm. Fresh chapters posted on novel{f}ire.net
"Ah, so it’s Mr. Sheng, I’ve heard much about you."
Sheng Jianan wasn’t surprised that Lu Qilin recognized him. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile: "Good evening, Mr. Lu. I wonder, so late at night, what are you doing with my wife?"
Sheng Jianan’s words were simply stunning, yet the atmosphere around them was so tense that no one paid attention to the oddness of his statement.
Lu Qilin also clearly sensed Sheng Jianan’s intentional emphasis on the words "my wife."
Lu Qilin smiled slightly: "Is Mr. Sheng stalking? With Mr. Sheng’s status, such matters should be left to subordinates, isn’t it a bit of overkill for you to come personally?"
Lu Qilin, being a lawyer, was skilled with words, and his few short sentences were full of sarcasm.
"I just happened to see Yanxi waiting for a bus. It’s late, and it’s not safe for a girl to be out alone. I know Mr. Sheng is busy with work, and as Yanxi’s senior, I just gave her a ride back to school. If Mr. Sheng wants to hold me accountable, I apologize in advance, but I truly didn’t expect that the Young Madam of the Sheng Family would have to squeeze into a bus."
Each word from Lu Qilin contained no blame, but together they formed a blatant reproach. Sheng Jianan’s face became more sullen. Was it because he didn’t give her a ride? Was it because he let her take the bus?
Even if that were the case, what does this person in front of him matter? Does he have the right to blame him?
Lu Qilin was sharp-tongued, but Sheng Jianan was no pushover either. As a commanding figure in the business world, how could he fall behind?
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder, Mr. Lu doesn’t know? Oh, sorry, I forgot, Mr. Lu seems to be unmarried. This is a little fun between a wife and her husband. Once you marry, you’ll naturally understand. Holding you accountable isn’t necessary. I’m fully aware of the relationship between you and my wife, but others might not be, so I hope Mr. Lu won’t bring unnecessary trouble to my wife."
