54: Chapter 54 Sorry, I want to play for a few more years.
Luo Wei had already anticipated this situation.
It was only natural that he followed Cheng Yunshu upstairs.
After entering the room, Cheng Yunshu, who was still psychologically traumatized, quickly double-locked the door.
The studio apartment Cheng Yunshu rented was small, but it was kept very tidy.
“Make yourself at home. I'm going to take a shower first...” Since this wasn't Luo Wei's first time here, Cheng Yunshu didn't treat him like a guest.
Worried that Luo Wei might misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, “Just now... I was scared into a cold sweat, so I want to shower first...”
Luo Wei nodded, signaling for Cheng Yunshu to go ahead and shower.
After entering the bathroom, Cheng Yunshu poked her head out uneasily.
“You—you better not leave so soon. I'm really scared...”
“Don't worry!” Luo Wei nodded with a bright smile, adding in his heart that he wouldn't be leaving tonight.
Hearing Luo Wei's answer, Cheng Yunshu finally felt at ease and began her shower in peace.
Luo Wei sat down on the sofa and activated the Eye of Thoroughness.
Cheng Yunshu, who was showering, felt a strange sensation.
She couldn't help but raise her voice to ask, “Luo Wei, are you still there?”
“Of course I am!” Luo Wei responded with a smile.
Cheng Yunshu couldn't help but warn him, “I'm warning you, don't go rummaging through my wardrobe!”
“What are you thinking?” Luo Wei was caught between laughter and tears. “Do you think I'm that kind of person?”
“You are!” Cheng Yunshu subconsciously retorted, remembering how Luo Wei had once snuck her snacks at her workstation.
Since he was being slandered anyway, Luo Wei decided to see exactly what was in the wardrobe.
He turned his head to look at Cheng Yunshu's wardrobe; though the doors were closed, his gaze easily pierced through the wooden panels.
Inside the wardrobe hung many beautiful pieces of intimate apparel.
He was just about to tease Cheng Yunshu about it.
Just then, the phone in his pocket rang.
Opening it, he saw a seductive emoji sent by his glamorous Female Superior.
Speaking of which, Shen Yanqiu intended to punish him tonight, so Luo Wei replied with a smile.
“President Shen, sorry, I have something to handle tonight.”
“...”
Being stood up made Shen Yanqiu extremely depressed.
Since Luo Wei was busy, she naturally wouldn't be unreasonable.
“Then let's make it tomorrow night.”
“We'll see.”
Luo Wei was in no hurry to agree.
After all, he wasn't sure if he would be free tomorrow night either.
After chatting with Shen Yanqiu for a few more lines, Cheng Yunshu finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom.
“Who are you chatting with?” Seeing Luo Wei typing, Cheng Yunshu couldn't help but ask.
“Who else? A company leader!” Luo Wei held up his phone to show Cheng Yunshu.
“Leaders nowadays are really detestable. I've already clocked off, yet they still want me to work overtime.”
Seeing that the person Luo Wei was chatting with was named President Shen, Cheng Yunshu didn't doubt Luo Wei's words at all.
Having just showered, she was wearing light pajamas, and her body emitted the faint scent of shower gel.
She sat down beside him; speaking of what had just happened, she still had lingering fears.
“I was really scared to death just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been disfigured!”
“And then?” Luo Wei cut straight to the point. “How do you plan to repay me? Are you going to offer yourself to me in marriage?”
“In your dreams!” Cheng Yunshu punched Luo Wei with a blush, then boldly asked back, “By the way, are you trying to pursue me?”
Without waiting for Luo Wei to answer, her face turned as red as a sunset as she shouted boldly, “If you're serious, I wouldn't mind considering it!”
“No, no, no!” Luo Wei quickly refused. “Good grief, why do you all want to be my girlfriend?”
“What do you mean by 'you all'?” Cheng Yunshu asked with wide eyes.
Luo Wei chuckled. “To tell you the truth, besides you, another beautiful girl confessed to me today, but I rejected her too!”
“Pah!” Cheng Yunshu's face was full of disdain. “I don't believe you. How could a beautiful girl possibly pursue you proactively?”
Luo Wei counter-attacked with a smile, “Aren't you one?”
That's right, what she just did certainly counted as a confession.
Although Cheng Yunshu's cheeks were burning, she didn't back down.
She looked straight at Luo Wei. “I—I'm serious. Please consider it seriously...”
Luo Wei also looked at her seriously. “Little sister, sorry, I still want to play for a few more years!”
Cheng Yunshu felt incredibly resentful; it was rare for her to take the initiative, yet she was rejected!
“Hmph, actually, I was just teasing you on purpose!”
“You dead guy, you actually didn't fall for it!”
Worried she might cry, she quickly changed the subject.
“Speaking of which, that guy just paid me a hundred thousand in compensation. I'll give you half!”
“If it weren't for you, forget a hundred thousand, I might have been disfigured!”
“No need!” Luo Wei shook his head generously. “Keep the money for yourself!”
“Really?” Cheng Yunshu couldn't believe it. “Then you...”
She had wanted to persuade Luo Wei, but she never expected that the guy would be staring at her with a beaming, direct gaze.
In an instant, Cheng Yunshu understood what Luo Wei wanted!
This dead guy was interested in her.
But he had rejected her confession; he was definitely a scumbag!
Exasperated, Cheng Yunshu swung her fists at Luo Wei.
Her fists were soft and lacked any real force.
Luo Wei grabbed her wrists and pulled her into his embrace.
In an instant, Cheng Yunshu was like a lost fawn fallen into a trap; after a weak struggle, she resigned herself to fate.
Compared to the happy Luo Wei, Brother Hao felt like he had fallen into purgatory.
Earlier, he had called to beg Luo Wei, but was rejected.
Refusing to give up, he dialed Lin Fei's number.
He wanted to plead with Lin Fei to put in a good word for him with Luo Wei.
However, after Lin Fei heard him out, she coldly stated that she had broken up with Luo Wei long ago!
In that moment, Brother Hao's heart turned to ash. If Lin Fei couldn't help, it meant he was definitely finished!
“Don't call me about Luo Wei ever again!” Lin Fei hung up the phone viciously.
From Brother Hao's mouth, she had actually learned something.
The boss of Taian Company actually wanted to meet Luo Wei in a very humble manner!
She couldn't understand how Luo Wei had become so powerful, but the more powerful he became, the more miserable she felt!
On the other side, in a certain hospital.
Li Taian's condition continued to deteriorate.
Fearing death, he had checked into the hospital directly.
At this moment, the luxurious VIP ward was crowded with famous Metaphysics practitioners and masters from all over.
Those people were either chanting sutras, drawing talismans, or performing rituals, but it was all useless!
With those people crowding the ward, Li Taian felt even more miserable!
After driving them away with a dark face, his mind was full of Luo Wei.
He naturally hated Luo Wei to death, but Luo Wei's methods were simply too eerie!
He was currently pondering what method to use to force Luo Wei to help him resolve the crisis.
Just then, his secretary suddenly entered the ward, looking pale with fright, clearly having encountered something very bad.
Before he could ask the secretary what happened, a group of Law enforcement personnel in uniform appeared at the ward door.
The leader showed his ID and said, “Li Taian, there is a case related to you. Please come with us.”
Li Taian's heart skipped a beat. The crimes he had committed were countless; he didn't know which one had been exposed to put him on the Law Enforcement Department's radar...
