Chapter 112 - 112: Can It Fit?
“I remembered!” Ling Yun stared in the direction where the two had left, and for a moment, he felt like he’d struck gold.
Chu Yujiang turned to look at him, showing surprise. This guy always had a stoic expression, unshaken even when the sky fell, but it seemed he had moments of surprise too.
“What did you remember?”
“The Shen family’s Third Lady. I’ve seen her before.”
This statement not only grabbed Chu Yujiang’s attention but also earned him a discreet glance from someone else, his lordship.
Since Quan Ranting didn’t speak, it was up to Chu Yujiang to ask, “When was that?:
“Before the Hot Springs Villa,” Ling Yun confessed, stealing a glance at Quan Ranting, who didn’t show any adverse reaction. He breathed a sigh of relief. Following that event, speaking the words “Hot Springs Villa” was strictly forbidden. The Lord had issued orders to ensure no one brought it up.
Ling Yun couldn’t fully grasp it. It wasn’t a matter of life or death, nor did it entail corporate secrets. So why was it treated with such secrecy that they couldn’t even utter its name?
Third Lord said, “It’s about a man’s pride. We all need to be careful to protect it, in case Sixth Brother can’t stand up again after this fall.”
It sounded reasonable, but Ling Yun still didn’t quite get it.
Chu Yujiang consoled him, “It’s alright; you’re only sixteen. You’re still a baby!”
Then, he clenched his fist and gave Ling Yun two panda eyes.
“Before the Hot Springs Villa? What happened?”
“It was that time…” Ling Yun’s face showed rare embarrassment, and he instinctively scratched his head. “Third Lord suddenly came back from Africa, his clothes were all tattered, and he asked me to go to the supermarket and buy clean underwear for him…”
“And then?”
“That woman was also there, and she randomly picked up a pair of baby’s underwear. 1 found it amusing and asked her if she had a child. She said no.” Chu Yujiang frowned. “If she doesn’t have a child, why would she buy baby’s underwear?”
“She said… she’s buying it for her boyfriend and scolded me for being a clueless kid with no sense of fun.”
The breeze was gentle, the clouds were white, and the sunlight was bright. In the spacious courtyard, there was complete silence.
Gulp…
Chu Yujiang struggled to swallow, his slightly tinted eyes involuntarily shifting towards Quan Ranting.
Ling Yun also curiously stared at Quan Ranting, wondering if this kind of play was possible?
Meanwhile, Shen Wan and Zhou Chi, having left “Shangyuan”, called a cab and headed back to their hotel.
On the way, Zhou Chi tried to speak several times but was silenced by a stern look from Shen Wan. “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
“….Alright.”
Inside the room, Shen Wan leaned against the table, absentmindedly tossing a can of coconut milk to him.
Zhou Chi caught it steadily. This act of tossing and catching had become quite instinctual for them.
“That guy…”
“About the game studio…”
They spoke simultaneously, but their intended topics were entirely different.
Shen Wan lifted her chin slightly. With a crisp sound, she pulled the tab of a can and tossed it into the trash can effortlessly. Then, she took a sip, her snowy-white neck tracing an elegant curve, her skin so fair that the blue veins beneath were clearly visible.
His eyes stung for a moment, so Zhou Chi quickly looked away and whispered, “That guy looks tough. What if he tells others about you coming to Beihai to see Yi Hong?”
“I don’t know.”
Well…
Shen Wan gave him a smile. “I doubt he’d be that idle to resort to such tactics. Quan Ranting doesn’t strike me as the backstabbing type.”
“But what if he does?”
“Even if he does, it doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid.” Confidence radiated from her uplifted brows and eyes, fearless and bold..
