Chapter 278 Delusions
Luo Suyin couldn’t believe her eyes. What was going on? Why was this man painting Xiaolei’s toenails?! Why did it have to be Yu Chen of all people?!! Why?! He’s not supposed to be doing this with anyone! What was the meaning of this?
The woman felt her blood boiling. Despite having the scene unfolding before her very eyes, she refused to believe what she was seeing is the truth. Did this bitch Barbie Cinderella do something? Or were they acting sweet like this because she was here?
Luo Suyin decided to believe in her own conclusion, that Yu Chen might be forcing himself to act like this because he didn’t want to show the real status of their marriage especially to one of Xiaolei’s family. She thought that he was doing this because he didn’t want any nasty news to reach his grandfather’s ear. After all, everyone in the family was aware that Xiaolei and Yu Chen’s marriage happened only because of the two old men from both their families.
"You may start." Yu Chen’s words pulled Luo Suyin from her very own delusional thoughts. The man had yet to spare her a single glance as he was a 101% focused on his wife’s gorgeous fingers.
Luo Suyin gathered her confidence and she began speaking. She was like a student reciting some equations as her punishment standing there, being ignored.
"Opps!" Xiaolei blurted softly when Yu Chen accidentally painted her cuticle.
Yu Chen paused, his wide-eyed stare telling his wife he had done a grave mistake.
Xiaolei chuckled upon seeing his expression. "It’s okay, we’ll just clean that up later." She comforted him and the man sighed in relief before continuing.
Luo Suyin had long stopped reading and was a redundant statue – unwanted and ignored was way past her limit that she didn’t even notice the documents being crushed in her hands.
She came here thinking that Yu Chen was done with Xiaolei. Her father and grandfather even confirmed that Yu Chen wasn’t fond of his wife.
Luo Suyin’s father told her that the reason why no other women managed to seduce Yu Chen was because he never gave any woman a chance to approach him. Any and all women were always driven away before they could even enter his office. Knowing all these, they planned this elaborate scheme to get Luo Suyin into Yu Chen’s office. They were confident in assuming that Yu Chen wouldn’t slam Luo Suyin since she was his wife’s sister. To further guarantee success, they had intended to send her into his office as often as it takes until he succumbs to the seduction. After all, he is only just a man.
Having absolute faith in her father, Luo Suyin never even doubted the plan would fail. She had always believed in her father more than anyone else as he was the one who raised her, and he favored her above all others despite her nasty attitude. And thus, Luo Suyin is the exact female replica of her father.
"Mr. Yu, any thoughts on the proposal?" she asked him, even shamelessly stepping closer. "This project will surely be a huge success." She sounded excited and certain.
Looking at her, Xiaolei could tell from the look on her face that this wasn’t enough to destroy Luo Suyin’s delusion. She had always known how hard-hearted and stubborn-minded Suyin was – not the fragile little miss, as how she portrays herself to others.
Xioalei wanted so badly to land some slaps on her face, but somehow managed to restrain herself. It will be more entertaining to see how Yu Chen deals with this hussy. What would be more satisfying was if Yu Chen being the one delivering that slap for she knew that Luo Suyin would never give up if it came from her. She had seen the kind of person this woman was in her previous life. She was even willing to kill herself when she couldn’t face the reality of Xiaolei crashing all her delusions at once. Maybe, if it was Yu Chen, he could wake her up from her delusions.
"Hubby, she’s talking to you." Xiaolei purposely turned her husband’s attention to Luo Suyin.
But what Yu Chen said next was unexpected even to Xiaolei herself.
"What do you think? Do you want me to accept their proposal?" Yu Chen asked Xiaolei.
Xiaolei looked at Luo Suyin and she saw the shock on her face.
"Hubby, you should be the one deciding." Xiaolei reasoned out.
"Well, I’m not impressed with the proposal at all, but if you want me to accept it, I will consider it." Yu Chen answered when suddenly...
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean you’re not impressed at all? Please..." Luo Suyin blurted out as she was about to grab Yu Chen’s shoulder to make him look at her but Xiaolei quickly caught her hand.
Xiaolei originally just wanted to sit and watch but there’s no freaking way she would let this hussy touch her big panda with those filthy hands of hers. N-E-V-E-R!!!
"Suyin, it’s not nice trying to grab a married man’s shoulder like that." Xiaolei calmly smiled at her.
"Sister, what are you saying?" she gritted her teeth as she pulled her hand back.
"Ahh." Xiaolei cringed and Yu Chen worriedly held her hand.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he held her wrist.
"The polish got smudged." Xiaolei pursed her lips in disappointment.
Seeing the destroyed nail polish and the disappointed look in his wife’s face, Yu Chen – completely ignoring that she’s the stepsister – glared at Luo Suyin with daggers in his eyes. Seeing how violently she had pulled her hand from Xiaolei’s angered him as well. What if his beloved got injured?
"Proposal rejected. Leave. NOW!" The cutting, glacial voice caused Luo Suyin to freeze.
Yu Chen returned his attention to his wife again.
"Let me redo your nails." He told Xiaolei, his voice was warm and loving as he spoke to her, contrary to the cold and sharp tone he used to speak with Luo Suyin.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Yu Chen’s gaze pierced the still frozen woman.
"Mr. Yu, please wait..."
Luo Suyin tried to persuade the man, but Yu Chen just called for his men to remove the eyesore.
Two men in black appeared and promptly removed Luo Suyin.
"Wait, Mr. Yu. I’m your wife’s sister, how could you treat me like this?!" she struggled and yelled at the man who was again, busy painting his wife’s nails. Looking up at Xiaolei, he asked...
"My wife, is that really your sister?"
