Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Just Hoping He Would Change His Words

The man towering over her had his sturdy jaw clenched tightly, sweat sliding down his sharply contoured face. Even though he restrained himself to the extreme, he still stopped in his tracks at the critical moment. His eyes, black as a starry sea, firmly gazed at her, his obsidian-like pupils clearly reflecting her image, as if those beautiful and dignified eyes could only see her and no one else.

“Yanyan, is it okay?”

His voice was surprisingly deep and hoarse, like the low hum of a cello, sensual and raspy!

Rong Yan was an adult, and having experienced it at 17, she obviously knew what Li Shengxiao was asking—what exactly he meant by if it was okay.

Outside, the cicadas were unrelenting, and the gentle breeze, the bright moon, and the man waiting for her answer before her eyes all converged into the light in her gaze.

Rong Yan bit her lower lip, reached out, and hooked her hand around the neck of the man close at hand. With her actions, she gave him her answer—a kiss, pressing her lips to his— “Mmm!”

Body hot with passion, Rong Yan let out a stifled moan, tilting her neck back like a blooming rose.

In the bedroom, the sultry temperature kept rising, and the night was still very, very long…

The next morning at nine o’clock, Rong Yan arrived at the café, supporting her aching back.

As soon as she walked in, she saw the person who had arrived even earlier than her at the agreed-upon spot.

“A cup of Blue Mountain with sugar,” she ordered from the waiter and then headed straight for the table in the corner.

The person sitting in the high stool still favored light-colored outfits like before. The beige sweater he wore always gave off the false impression that the man in front was gentle.

But Rong Yan knew that it was just an illusion.

A jerk is a jerk, no matter how handsome he is—he remains a jerk! A perfect match for a phony girl!

She set down her bag, pulled out the opposite chair, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, made the first move to break the stalemate, “I didn’t expect Mr. Shi to be so early. I thought I would have to wait here half an hour before you’d show up.”

Shi Mufeng narrowed his eyes at the woman with gleaming eyes before him. Rong Yan’s features were stunning. Compared to Rong Weiwei’s beauty, pieced together by stylists, Rong Yan’s inherent beauty was straightforward but delivered a more visual impact.

Especially when she curved her lips into a smile, it made one involuntarily focus their attention on her.

Shi Mufeng stared at her face for two seconds before displaying an expression of disgust and said impatiently, “What is it that you wanted to talk about by calling me out here with your message?”

“If it’s about reminiscing, then forget it!”

Pfft! Did her face carry the words wanting to reminisce with him? Rong Yan really wanted to roll her eyes at him. What past could they possibly have to look back on, memories of how he and Rong Weiwei cheated behind her back? Moreover, just yesterday, he had the audacity to pin a huge label on her in front of reporters! She would have to be incredibly masochistic to ask him out today to reminisce.

Shi Mufeng really thought too highly of himself!

“I have something I need from you.”

Shi Mufeng glanced over her, disguising his disdain. “What is it, then? Spit it out.”

He could guess what Rong Yan wanted from him at this juncture—it was nothing more than leveraging their past to ask him to retract his statement to the media.

He had already made his statement, and even for Weiwei’s sake, it was impossible to take it back.

Unless Rong Yan agreed to leave the entertainment industry, swore never to trouble Weiwei again, and honestly returned to the Rong Family to get along properly with Weiwei.

Then, perhaps, he might consider helping her smooth things over with the reporters without harming Weiwei..
