Chapter 803 - The mans good words (1/2)

The pitch-black darkness of the night wrapped around Yue Ling and Lu Tian's house like a blanket. Due to the renovations, Liu Shan and the other three men decided to keep only the front door light on as the other lights will give away the parts of the house that can be easily entered.

Outside in the front courtyard, Lin Hui and Xu Long had made their way down the driveway. The two men looked like friends casually taking a night stroll in the park.

Lin Hui lit a cigarette and inhales a puff of the tobacco with his shoulder swinging from side to side like a dangerous gangster. Next to him, Xu Long walked with careful steps as his head was tilted back, and he stares up at the night sky like he was counting stars.

”Bro, do you think I have a chance with Zhao Ya'Er?”

Xu Long asked without thinking. Since they were to act naturally, it was only natural for him to start a conversation.

However, he didn't know that his question took Lin Hui by surprise, causing him (Lin Hui) to stumble in his act of a gangster.

Lin Hui turns his head to look at the man staring into space, and his eyebrows wrinkle into a frown. He did tell Xu Long for them to act natural, but was this really the right time to ask such a serious question?

He sighs inside, then thought about what the man had asked. His free hand raises to stroke his chin, and he nods his head like an elderly man.

”Honestly, you aren't that bad of a man, but do you have a chance with Miss Zhao? Hm, it's hard to say.”

Xu Long's eyes turned heavy like someone was trying to glue his eyes closed. He tilts his head forward, away from the sky, and in the darkness, he glares with daggers at Lin Hui.

”What do you mean, it's hard to say? If I am a good man, what's hard then?”

He folds his arms over his chest and turns to face the man belittling him.

”Seriously, my looks aren't too bad. I can be mistaken for a model. Not only that, but I'm also smart, brave, funny, romantic, and most of all.”

He pauses in his words to lean closer to Lin Hui before continuing his words.

”I have a good-paying job.”

Lin Hui didn't expect Xu Long to describe himself with such words. He nearly chokes on his cigarette but steadied himself and meet the man in the eyes.

Although it was dark, the light from the front door was bright enough to let him see the assistant's face.

He scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and raises his hand, holding the cigarette to take another puff before answering.

”Yes, yes, you are everything you claim to be. After all, you are James Long Bond. How can you not have a chance?”

Xu Long's mouth opened agape at the mockery behind Lin Hui's words. He wanted to strangle the man to death, but before he could make a move, Lin Hui's voice continues.

”But you're forgetting one thing. Miss Zhao seems to be interested in you, but she is still your boss's cousin. The real question you should be asking is, will your boss let you be with her if things become serious.”

”…”

Xu Ling's jaw dropped to the ground, and his eyes fell from their sockets. He had been having such a good time going on dates with Zhao Ya'Er that he forgot all about his coldblooded boss.

He was quickly reminded of the day Lu Tian ordered him to find a man from the footage captured from the nightclub, Spring. Turned out he was the man and had to turn himself in.
