Chapter 31 (2/2)
Lin Luoran’s face turns even redder because of guilt. She secretly looks at the man who is gripping her arm. Lin Luoran is quite a tall girl, and she might be taller than some local men in R City when she wears high heels.
However, the man in front of her tops her by half a head. He must be over 1.8 meters in height, which is rare in R City… Lin Luoran wants to pinch herself. The man is looking at her with hostility, and she actually has the mood to check on her “enemy”.
“Can you stop being such an anthomaniac? Give back my ginseng seeds! Or I will go after you!” Mu Tiannan immediately cla.s.sifies the girl thief in front of him into team “anthomaniac” since she still has the mood to check on him under this circ.u.mstance.
Mu Tiannan can’t deny that the woman in front of him has a gentle and fresh temperament. She is tall and slim, and her black hair matches perfectly with her smooth skin and dark pupil. Mu Tiannan has seen a lot of beautiful women, and this one is definitely one of them… Too bad she is an anthomaniac, either. Mu Tiannan doesn’t understand where his sense of regret comes from.
An anthomaniac? Lin Luoran is astonished. How does she become an anthomaniac? As for the ginseng seeds filled with Reiki, she just got them by chance. She did not steal or rob. Even if the man is the owner of those ginseng seeds, can he make the points clear? He rushes out of nowhere like this and he owns an expensive sports car. He must be an arrogant man from a rich family.
Lin Luoran becomes impatient. Her boss is here, watching her being grasped by a man in the street. She is not an inherently gentle person, and she is getting drastic under the man’s strength.
“I don’t know what you are talking about! Sir, you’ve got the wrong person!” The consequence of being drastic is that Lin Luoran starts to lie through her teeth.
First, Lin Luoran hates the man’s arrogance. Second, those seeds have already grown into ginsengs with an efficacy that equals those of several decades… Even if she does pull them up and give them back to him, ginseng can’t become seed again!
She shall never admit it! Lin Luoran decides at once.
Mu Tiannan squints. People who know him all understand that this is his sign of threat.
This woman is so reckless… Mu Tiannan gradually uses more strength to grip Lin Luoran.
“Ouch…” Lin Luoran can’t bear the pain. How come this man’s hand feels like a cramp!
Liu Zheng has been paying close attention to their conversation. After he figures that there are some “ginseng seeds” involved, Liu Zheng thinks that this situation is under control. He is somehow relieved. However, Lin Luoran’s painful scream comes. Liu Zheng steps forward and grabs Mu Tiannan’s hand,
“She said she didn’t know you, sir. Can you let her go?”
Liu Zheng wears his usual business smile, and the gold-rimmed gla.s.ses makes him look gentle and unharmful.
“Who are you?” Mu Tiannan’s frown turns to stare. Liu Zheng stares back without any sign of weakness. Electricity seems to flow between their eyes!
Watching Liu Zheng’s calm face, Mu Tiannan wants to beat him out of no reason. Instead, he smiles in defiance, “I don’t care who you are. This is just between her and me.”
Mu Tiannan says with an ambiguous att.i.tude in order to p.i.s.s Liu Zheng off. He has forgotten why he came here in the first place, still, he is pleased to make Liu Zheng angry.
With the help of Liu Zheng, Lin Luoran uses her strength in a sudden and breaks loose from Mu Tiannan. Looking at the red mark on her wrist, Lin Luoran is furious. She is thinking about giving this man a suplex, then she hears Liu Zheng’s indifferent voice,
“I won’t be polite if you keep hara.s.sing my girlfriend.”
Lin Luoran looks up and is dumb with surprise. She even forgets to give Mu Tiannan the suplex for revenge.
His… girlfriend?
