Chapter 26 - 1.26 Ren Zexi’s Wrath
Fifteen minutes ago. In the lounge.
Lu Yizhou could feel a headache coming. [Why is the protagonist here? How did he come in?] Where were the bodyguards he stationed in every corner of the mansion? Were they blind or was Jing Xuehao invisible?
666 sounded even more panicked than he was.
[666: That's right! The protagonist should have been downstairs, having his first destined meeting with the female lead! What is he doing here?! Wait a minute, 666 will check on the CCTV. Ah! Should 666 say that it's the world giving him a hand? It seems like there's a few problems downstairs and the bodyguards were called down. Ah Shen who was supposed to guard you suddenly had diarrhea so the hallway was completely empty...]
Jing Xuehao couldn't read Lu Yizhou's thoughts based on the latter's expressionless face. However, he could sense the annoyance and exasperation from his micro gesture and expression. He had always been good at reading people. If it was the usual Jing Xuehao, he would have already left the other person alone because it wasn't his style to persist on approaching someone who clearly didn't welcome him. However, this time was different. The person in front of him wasn't anyone ordinary. He was Lu Yizhou, the man whom Jing Xuehao—
"What do you want to talk about?" Lu Yizhou walked to the sofa, took off his outer jacket and threw it off to the side. Then, the man sat down and unclasped two uppermost buttons of his shirt, revealing his distinct neckline and prominent collarbone.
Jing Xuehao followed his every movement, his Adam's apple bobbed as he glimpsed upon the pale skin on Lu Yizhou's chest. The light didn't help either as it made his skin look particularly lustrous and fair.
"Well?" Lu Yizhou raised one of his brows. "You have five minutes. After that, scram."
Jing Xuehao snapped out of his stupor and discreetly pinched his thigh to sober himself up. Why did he always seem unable to gather his wits in Lu Yizhou's presence? He found himself raking in the sight of the man, drinking in his presence and enjoying the moment of being alone without being disturbed. He almost didn't want this to end. However...
Five minutes. He only had five minutes.
Jing Xuehao clenched his fists and spat out. "I know the true nature of your relationship with Ren Zexi."
