Chapter 401 - The Aggressive Lady Poison (1/2)
To have a door shut in her face was not something that Su Li was used to, and she felt a little slighted. She had come over to see him and have a chat, and to be turned down is such a brusque manner was unthinkable. She could imagine a long line of men just dreaming of getting an opportunity such as this; even getting a glance or a smile from her would make their day. Yet, for this man, none of that matter—how could he be so cold?!
There were many things that she had wanted to ask him, and his interview at Huayao Corporation was undoubtedly one of the items on the agenda. After hearing about Xiao Luo’s proficiency with several foreign languages, she was curious to learn more about it. She reached for the doorbell again, but something stopped her. Her finger was still on the doorbell when she decided to abort the idea of barging in on him and turned around to return to her apartment.
…
…
After Xiao Luo returned to his unit, he immediately settled into a lotus position and regulated his breathing. The prowess of the white-haired beggar in using his techniques could not be underestimated, and he was already suffering a severe internal injury from the kick that his adversary had delivered. Xiao Luo chose not to expend any more points on the system’s healing function, knowing that he could resort to his breath regulation technique to heal the injury. And this was precisely why Xiao Luo declined to teach Su Li how to prepare the vegetable taro paste.
Besides, it wasn’t too long ago that Xiao Luo had been in a public toilet to make sure that Yang Hongzhi kept his word about eating a pile of excrement—and when he beat the white-haired beggar, he made sure that Yang Hongzhi and his bodyguards had a feast! Although he didn’t get anything filth on his body, he seemed to detect a lingering stench; therefore, it just really wasn’t a suitable time for him to teach someone how to cook.
Suddenly, he caught a waft of a peculiar fragrance…
Xiao Luo took a whiff, trying to recall memories of the scent. Then, he abruptly opened his eyes and ceased his breath regulation exercise, for the fragrance was etched deeply in his mind.
Before he could move a muscle, a dark figure streaked from the bedroom and came up behind him like a black flash of lightning. A slender hand clad in black silk gloves was pressed against his back, and Xiao Luo suddenly felt his whole body go numb, as he was struck accurately on the acupoint with the index and middle finger.
“Mie, you’re now mine!”
A husky and seductive voice whispered in his ear—the woman in black strut from behind Xiao Luo with feline grace, swaying her slender hips provocatively. Standing right in his front of Xiao Luo, she exuded charm and charisma. Her beautiful, delicate visage was framed by silky black hair, worn in a loose chignon, and adorned with a jasper hairpin with a dragon-phoenix design. Her eyes were alluring, almost flirting, and it would have been difficult for any man to resist her gaze.
Standing before him like a Greek goddess, she looked like she had just stepped out of a classical painting of the old masters!
“Lady Poison, what are you doing?” Xiao Luo gasped.
“I’ve said it before, we are made for each other.”
Fu Yiren suddenly bent down and gently placed her quivering lips on Xiao Luo’s, the lightest of touch, like a dragonfly skimming the pond’s surface.
Her cheeks blushed, and in the dim light of the nearby lamp, she looked remarkably captivating and enchanting. In a very suggestive way, she purred in a longing voice, nibbling on her scarlet lips invitingly.
Xiao Luo’s mind went blank for a moment, but he found his voice in typical fashion and said, “Find someone else, I have no interest in you.”
“Other men mean nothing to me, in my eyes, I only want you.”
Fu Yiren held Xiao Luo’s face with both hands. In her passion, she exerted more strength than she had intended, squishing Xiao Luo’s face and making it look pressed against a glass window.
Xiao Luo’s eyes were cold. A male chauvinist like him could never allow a woman to hold his face like a child. “Take your hands away,” he fumed.
“Mie, I hope you understand the position you’re now in—you are my prey, and I can do whatever I want with you. I can’t fault you for not having any feelings for me now, but such things can be cultivated over time. And, as I do not have any assignments now, it’s the perfect time to start. I can stay with you here every day to nurture our relationship.”
