Shi Luo glanced at Yu Mei as she pointed her head towards the entrance.
"What are you doing?" Yu Mei speechlessly followed her line of sight.
Her breathing hitched when her gaze landed on the man walking towards them. One of his hands tucked inside the pocket of his raven-black tuxedo while he raked his fingers through his messy ash blonde hair.
She could feel her heart racing, "Damn. He is so hot. A torture to mankind."
Li Shuang and Shi Luo exchanged glances as the former spoke up, "As hot as he is, you should take a look at his expressions."
"Eh?" Only then did Yu Mei averted her line of focus from his enticing body and hotness to his expressions.
Eyes slightly narrowed and his handsome face dangerously dark.
"Ah...Luoluo, is it too late to run away? He looks like he will put me in a frying pan..." She shivered.
"It's late," Shi Luo scoffed, "Go listen to the story. I was giving you hints for a long time but you didn't listen to me."
Yu Mei shrank back as the man was a few steps away from them.
Shi Luo followed Jun Zixuan's gaze that was scanning Yu Mei from top to bottom. She quickly pinched the woman's arm.
"What?" Yu Mei snapped at her. She was mentally stressed already. Why must she give her physical pain at a time like this?
"Hide your injured hand. He will eat you alive if he sees that," Shi Luo whispered. The cut on her hand was just superficial as she had checked it but the present Jun Zixuan was no less than a devil who cherished even a single strand of hair of his precious treasure.
Yu Mei immediately did that the moment Jun Zixuan stood in front of her.
"H-Hey baby, how was your trip? Why are you back so early?" Her slightly trembling coy voice made Li Shuang and Shi Luo exchange glances yet again.
Was it still the same woman who was so bossy inside the hall?
Shi Luo couldn't help but smirk inwardly. This served her right. Every time she will be impulsive or end up doing something wrong or risky, nobody could control her. She did not even fear her brother as she knew that she just had to act a little cute and Han Jian Yu will be coaxed. But it seems like it is pretty different in Jun Zixuan's case.
"You did not want me to come back?" His emotionless voice and cold eyes made her gulp.
Yu Jinhai, who was not used to his angry brother-in-law quickly ran to his Shi Luo and Li Shuang. His Jie must have done something to anger his calm and sweet brother-in-law. He should stay away from responsibility and punishments.
"I-" Yu Mei gulped, "I think I forgot my phone in the hall. Those reporters must have stolen it to get news on me."
Shi Luo, who was standing behind Jun Zixuan, pointed at the phone in her hand.
Yu Mei narrowed her eyes dangerously at the woman who immediately put the phone in her pocket.
Yu Mei sighed in relief "I'll go get it first," Or more like I will run away from the other exit and hide in Rosette headquarters for a few days. Your anger must have subsided by the time I come back. You would miss me a lot and probably smother me with kisses the moment you see me.
Alas, according to legends, daydreaming can be pretty bad at times.
Her fantasies did not last long as the moment she turned around, the collar of her black suit was grabbed by the man, "Where do you think you are going?"
"You..." She was speechless, "Let go of my clothes first. If you dare to ruin them like this, I will not talk to you for the whole life."
He let go of the collar and before she could let out a sigh of relief, the man encircled one of his arms around her hips before throwing her above his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Her eyes widened as she moved her legs in the full struggle but it was always a pity that she was not as strong as him.
As she looked at their retreating backs, Shi Luo chuckled, "She is so stubborn and wilful. It is really fun to see her like this."
Li Shuang frowned a bit, "She has changed a lot over these years. I have known her since we were kids but now she seems like a completely different person."
"People mature with their age," Shi Luo cleared her throat, "Which Mei do you prefer? The old one or this new one?"
"To be honest, I approached her in junior high school because I got to know that she is my cousin. I befriended her, stayed with her but there was a distance between us. We looked close but we were not that close. And later..." Later that issue with Zhu Boqin ended their friendship. Li Shuang sighed, "When I interacted with her after our university reopened, I don't know why I felt so attached to her,'' Such contradicting feelings about the same person was very confusing to her too but she did not dwell on it.
Shi Luo patted her shoulder, "Don't dwell on the past. You both have a good friendship now. As much as I know, Mei truly adores you as a friend."
A soft smile made its way on Li Shuang's cold face, "It might sound weird but I am attached to the new her."
Shi Luo coughed. It's not weird at all. You are just attached to Han Mei, not your real cousin, Yu Mei Zhen.
While they were having this discussion, both of them did not notice the strange expressions on Yu Jinhai's face.
"Are you leaving now?" Shi Luo glanced at her.
Li Shuang shook her head, "No, I am going to check on Grandpa. He is ill-tempered. We will have to get him out of their before he ends up killing one of them."
"Alright, let's go. I will accompany you," Shi Luo held Yu Jinhai's hand, "Stick closer to me, okay?"
The little boy nodded.
Li Shuang ruffled his hair as they walked back to the hall.
