174 A True Gentleman (1/2)

”You probably don't want to reveal your identity within these walls. And I understand that. The Hideout may look harmless at the surface. But once you see what's in the bottom, you will discover that it is a very dangerous place.” Kiang Leilei told Wang Yuvin her current thoughts.

”I am glad that you understood. I am impressed. You know what? You don't seem to be the brat the people in your office are gossiping about.” Wang Yuvin smiled widely at Kiang Leilei, showing his perfect set of white teeth.

Kiang Leilei furrowed her brows, was he stalking her? How did he know that her grandfather's employees labeled her a brat? Actually not just a brat but a horrible person!

”I just overheard it that day. I guess they just don't know the real you.” Wang Yuvin added when he noticed the confusion on Kiang Leilei's face.

”Ignorant people are quick to judge. They lack empathy and that's their sad reality. But I am glad you are not like them. You did not believe the rumors right away.” Kiang Leilei's lips curved into a fine smile. That kind of smile that can blow a person away.

”I am not a gullible person hehe. But I am curious though as to why are you pretending to be a horrible person. Did something happen?” Wang Yuvin was taken aback by Kiang Leilei's picture perfect smile. However, he did not want her to feel uncomfortable so he just secretly admired her smile inside his head.

Noticing that her best smile had no effect or whatsoever to the guy she was trying hard to impress, Kiang Leilei's mood became sullen. She only nodded her head but did not utter a word.

Wang Yuvin decided not to ask a follow-up question anymore. Considering the look on Kiang Leilei's face, he thought that she was not yet ready to share to him the reason why she put up a facade and hid her real persona. But in reality, Kiang Leilei's mood changed because she thought her smile had no effect on him.

”I did not mean to ruin your mood. I should have not asked about it. Sorry.” Wang Yuvin apologized as to lighten up the gloomy mood brought about by his curiosity.

”It's fine. I do not mind it at all.”

”Are you sure about that? Will you still come over for lunch?”
