Chapter 426 - A Plethora of Talents (1/2)

Xiao Luo smiled, a little surprised with Su Li’s question. “Didn’t you investigate what I did for a living at Jiangcheng?” he replied.

“Of course, but I don’t believe that you are as simple as what the information I got suggests.”

Su Li came closer, and Xiao Luo caught a whiff of her sweet scent. “You are extremely talented in language studies as you can speak French, Arab, and Russian. On top of that, you are a pro-racer with amazing skills,” she said, “However, the report also shows that you are just an ordinary employee of Luo Workshop. Judging from the range of abilities you have displayed, you are definitely someone more than that; it can’t be that simple.”

“Then, what does Ms. Su think about me? Or should I say, what kind of identity suits me?” Xiao Luo said, throwing the question back to her in jest.

“Well…”

Su Li had no answer to that question. Yet, she was still convinced that Xiao Luo was not an ordinary person, nor was he just employed in a mundane job at Luo Workshop. At that moment, she simply could not think of any plausible careers that he could likely be involved in that required such proficiency in languages and extreme driving skills.

Su Li bit her lips, and after a brief silence, she said, “I don’t know.”

“Then it must be you overthinking, I’m just an ordinary guy.”

Xiao Luo certainly did not want Su Li to find out about everything that happened in Jiangcheng. He only wished that what had happened in Jiangcheng could be erased from his life as quickly as tearing away a chapter from a book. A chapter that was filled with rage, blood, and gore.

After a moment’s pause, Xiao Luo added, “I learned those skills in my free time.”

“Learned in your free time?” Su Li scoffed.

“How else can I develop these skills? Dream about it and make it happen?” Xiao Luo retorted.

Well, that made some sense…

Su Li reluctantly bought his explanation, but Xiao Luo’s talents truly impressed her. To be thoroughly proficient in three foreign languages, and likely with English as the fourth, was not something one could self-learn through books. Then, there were the incredible racing skills that were simply out of this world; how did one explain that? In the end, Su Li decided that the simplest explanation was to accept that Xiao Luo was a genius, plain and simple.

“You should go back if you have no other questions. Remember to lock the door and try to rest early, it’s quite late.” Xiao Luo said.

He’s chasing me off!?

Su Li felt deeply offended, as Xiao Luo had taken no notice of her charm. Was she that unappealing?

Su Li was also a little hurt as she intended to work on their relationship, which was never really much, to begin with, even from the first day of their marriage. She had been trying very hard to get closer to him, but he kept her at arms’ length. She would be busy with work soon, and it could well be a few months long of work. She feared this would only worsen their relationship, and she had been worrying about this for some time now.

“Spend some time with Su Xiaobei and me tomorrow night,” she said.

“You’re going to start work soon?” Xiao Luo asked.

“Yes.”

Su Li nodded and looked at Xiao Luo, anticipating more questions about her work scope and location.

“Sure.”

Su Li was a little disappointed with his response. “That’s it then, get some rest,” she said.

As she finished speaking, she turned around and left his apartment.

Su Li wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, to think that she was actually vying for a man’s attention. Since Su Li debuted as a celebrity, she had always put up a strong front as there was no one she could trust emotionally, no shoulder to lean on during the hard times, and therefore, she never saw any point in showing anyone her tender side.

If she was sick, she would visit the hospital herself; if she was depressed, she would hide in solitude; if she was in pain, she would clench her teeth and get through it herself.

She had already taken the knocks and learned the hard way in the world of showbiz. She had become way too independent to simply rely on any man, so how could she yearn for one to lean on now?
