CH 7

"Can't we even be friends ?"

After hesitating for a short while, Lu Wanwan showed him a relieved smile, "Okay then."

She looked so beautiful when she smiled. Lin Xu was dazzled.

Chapter 7

(3.3)

The two people stayed in the cafe for two hours, during which Lin Xu kept talking to her about their highschool days.

Lu Wanwan very quickly became annoyed, but she still had to wear a proper smile on her face. When he was speaking with emotions, she cooperated very well by showing him reddened eyes.

When it was almost dark, Lu Wanwan took the initiative to interrupt him, "It's getting late, I should go home."

"Okay."

"That ..... I don't have a car, can I trouble you to give me a ride?"

Lin Xu was very eager and said, pleasantly surprised, "It's no trouble, no trouble at all."

The car he had was newly bought. He proudly led Lu Wanwan to the new car, very gentlemanly opened the door for her, before he himself got into the driver's seat.

Before turning on the car, Lin Xu asked meaningfully, "Didn't Shen Yi give you a car?"

*

Shen Yi was sitting in his office with a fountain pen between his fingers, tapping on the desktop repeatedly. A few minutes later, he made an internal call and instructed his secretary, "Send Li Xing in."

A knock on the office door followed.

"Enter."

"Brother Shen, I heard you were unexpectedly late this morning!"

Shen Yi gave him a cold look and said in a deep voice, "Help me buy a ruby necklace."

Li Xing sat down on the sofa, folding his pair of straight long legs together. He asked, "Do you want to buy it for sister-in-law?"

"She wants one."

"Brother Shen, I can see, Lu Wanwan is not at all a little white flower who is uninterested about material possessions, she ......."

She is a bad intentioned blood-sucking bitch ah!

Halfway through his sentence, Shen Yi's glare made Lu Xing shudder and he quickly changed his speech : "Wasn't there a ruby necklace at that auction last time? Let's take this one for sister-in-law."

Shen Yi wrinkled his eyebrows, "No, that one's too cheap."

Lu Wanwan played well the poor little white flower who was tormented and wronged in her marriage, and as expected, she aroused Lin Xu's deep pity and also satisfied his self-esteem, the he who wanted to be the hero who saves the beauty.

When Lu Wanwan gave their address, a trace of disdain flashed in Lin Xu's eyes as he opened his mouth and asked, "Have you always been living here during the few years you've been married?"

She lowered her head, "Mm."

Then Lu Wanwan revealed a standard white lotus smile, "Although it's just an ordinary apartment, but the security conditions are quite alright."

The two times before, it was precisely in this apartment that she was locked up. The doors and windows were completely sealed, and even if she managed to steal the key to get out, she was brought back by the hidden bodyguards before she could even get downstairs.
