CHAPTER 18

"Hahaha..." a bone-chilling laugh tore from his lips at her remarks.

Gosh, was she so funny at times.

"Jun Jun, this is not funny. You shouldn't be laughing at your friend that way," Andromeda reprimanded.

"My bad. My bad. I admit. I crossed the line there. Forgive me."

"Hmm. Anyways, when I said I needed a good house and all, I did not say the best in the city."

"But you deserve the best. Not only would you have strong security, good accommodation, privacy, and everything, especially with the path you want to tread now... The prestige would bring your enemies down to their knees."

"I know but I am not a lavish spender. I do not plan on using my savings all in one go on a house. How would I survive?"

She threw her right hand to the side while her eyes widened as though he could see her.

"You are an heir to a rich fortune."

"Hell yeah, with my father's new mistress I doubt. Besides, who needs his wealth when I can create mine?"

He sighed briefly and resumed. "You know it is your right though."

"I know but no. He disowned me. In fact," she shook her head. "You know what, just help me search for something else, please. Thanks. You are a darling."

"Now you are making things difficult. Sigh. Alright, I got an offer."

"Hmm, should I say I am interested or I should refuse?"

"Depends. Regardless, I shoot." She rolled her eyes at his words. He was stubborn as she was.

"I have an apartment there but since it's like miles from my new workplace, I rented a condo unit close to my office instead and it is empty."

"Where are you going with this, Jun?"

"Why not stay there for as long as you like. The money I spent on it is wasting away. I would feel better knowing someone I trust is using it."

She did not thing before giving her answer. "NO."

"Andromeda! Give it a thought will ya? Do not reject outrightly," he persuaded.

"Thanks, Jun but I can't. It is yours."

"And what is mine is yours. We have always shared some things when in need."

"This is different. I don't want to impose."

"Nothing like that. I would move my remaining things tonight and you can pack in tomorrow. Think of it as you doing me a favor while I protect you from that scumbag."

She did not speak for some time. He knew how she hated owing favours and inconveniencing people.

It was owing to that, that she lived independently since she returned from Paris after her mother's death, without spending anyhow.

She broke the silence suddenly. "Are you sure?"

He could sense her reluctance in her voice. This was his opportunity. "Absolutely." free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Fine." He half squealed into the phone, causing her to take it away and save her eardrums. "But on one condition."

His face dropped. "Anything then. What do you need?"

"I am glad you said so. I would not be staying there for free. I would pay rent."

"Fine. But you would be paying 10% no more but it can be less."

"Shut it, Jun Jun. 50%"

"Too much. 20% You can't say no. It is a fair deal and you are saving more."

"You seriously are one knucklehead." Her lips turned up, breaking into a dashing smile. "Thanks."

"Anytime."

On the other hand, while she settled herself, Liu Xueyi and his friends walked into one of the biggest hotels in the city for a meeting.

As soon as they walked past the receptionist and were heading for the conference room, they met someone implying by a corner.

The moment Xu Fang spotted her his eyes widened a bit as his lips pulled to the side. "Ho-ho, who do we have here?"

Wanting to ignore his friend, Liu Xueyi looked away and was about to walk past her when Xu Fang held unto his suit.

"Why run away so soon or are you shy to meet the damsel that warmed your bed that night?"

His eyes broadened a bit at the big reveal and he took a step back.

He cast one long glance at her, studying her to see any form of similarity.

True enough she was beautiful but her excessive makeup and skimpy outfit made him irk at her. There was difference, he could tell.

"I guess I should do a proper introduction since your first meeting was straight into pleasure." She blushed at his remarks, hiding her gaze from them.

"Whose fault was that?" Liu Xueyi mumbled.

"Oh, don't be shy. Mo Feng Yi meet Liu Xueyi, the man that rocked your world that night," Xu Fang introduced.

'Hmm, from the looks of things, his friends doesn't know. Could it be that himself had forgotten? If he was heavily drugged, meaning he had no idea. Great! This could be my chance to warm up to him and be his girlfriend.'

With her thoughts well defined, she blushed. "Nice to officially meet you," she reached for a handshake.

Rather than answering her, he turned his gaze to his friend, ignoring her advances. "Shall we?"

"Hey, Xueyi, do not be cold to a lady after enjoying a night her," Rong Bolin scolded.

"Here," Xu Fang pushed her closer to him and placed her hands on Liu Xueyi. "Stop being shy. You did not think of this when you were working yourselves out, huh?"

"Hmm... Fine then. I need a moment with her. You guys can go on without me," his deep voice rang out beside her, sending chills down her spine.

Regardless, she put on a bold front and smiled. "Hey, do not tell me you want another round, Xueyi?" she shyly announced to spice things up on his friend's mind.

A dangerous smile formed around the corners of his lips, reaching his eyes. "Do not worry dear. I would be sure to treat you as you deserve," he beamed at her.

"Ohhh..." His friends burst out in a cheerful glee. "Enjoy yourselves then. Hahaha..."

Without saying much, Liu Xueyi lead her away from the guys to the opposite wing from where they stood.

Once he was sure they were far from the watchful eyes of people, he pushed her away from him, slamming her body a bit to the wall.

"What nonsense are you on about?" He asked in a low growl. The look in his eyes changed into something dangerous.

"I... I-I... I d-do not know what you are talking about."

He stalked closer to her and slammed his palm on the wall close to her head while his height towered over her.

He could see the fright in her eyes but the closer he was now, the more irritated he felt as she placed her palm on his chest.

Not thinking much, he used his left hand to spank her hand away and leaned his head closer.

"Now, let's try that again, shall we, Mo Feng Yi? What is your goal? Why are you rubbing on to me?"
