118 HE DID NOT LIKE HER (2/2)

Hu Lei felt like crying and laughing at the same time. It was obviously a coincidence. She was not that type of diehard fan. If she were to cosplay, she would obviously choose a Carefree Dreams character. Well, actually, that would be difficult because romance novel characters changed outfits. But the point stood.

However, she did not express such thoughts. So, she laughed, without giving a definite answer. There was no need to make things complicated.

After a while, she moved to another table and then another.

Unluckily, her goal of meeting Carefree Dreams was not achieved. After a while, no one else was left on her list except for this in-demand author. She returned to the waiting area and decided to catch up a little on her reading.

”Oh, I did not realise Ms Hu was coming here. Otherwise, I would have accompanied you.” A person suddenly spoke.

Hu Lei could recognise the voice, but she still looked at Bei Gong Hai before speaking.

”Thank you for the thought, but I have my own means.” She smiled politely.

She turned her eyes back to her phone.

Bei Gong Hai looked a little awkward. Usually, when he talked to girls, they were always too happy to chat. He rarely even had to make an effort. They would come running by themselves. He wondered whether she was playing hard to get. He had even gone to the trouble of finding out her real name, but she did not seem even a little moved.

It was not like he liked her. She had just piqued his interest. He liked his character in the movie, and he was very fascinated by the mind which could come up with the fascinating idea. He wanted to know a little more.

”It seems like Ms Hu does not want to talk to me.” He said in a self-deprecating tone and with a light laugh.

He knew how she would respond. She would feel bad because of ignoring him and then attempt to make amends apologetically. This was the ultimate move against girls who acted tough. Once they were shown a vulnerable side, they would immediately break.

Unfortunately, Hu Lei was not easy to manipulate. After all, she had not only been a master of violence in her old life. She had done her share of espionage, infiltration and grifting. How could she be moved by this level of talent?

Seeing the lack of a response, Bei Gong Hai smiled. It seemed that this girl was a tough nut to crack. She had successfully captured his attention. However, he did not want to abandon his path yet. Every woman had a little softness.

”Have I offended you in anyway?” He asked with a controlled amount of sadness.

Hu Lei did not want to be bothered, but she did not want to speak in case her mouth spoke some unpleasant words. She used her free hand to discretely tap on one of the legs of her chair. The contact was light, but the sound was loud. It was one of her many parlour tricks.

Immediately, the people's eyes were drawn to their location and more importantly, to Bei Gong Hai the celebrity. Before he knew what was happening, there were fans all around him, and Hu Lei was no longer on the scene. She had disappeared.
