âYou donât have to.â Xuanyuan Lie says, eyes flickering with confusion. Does this woman forget everything?
âIâm sorry to have troubled you. I think Iâd better not to live here.â After all, Maomao isnât in this house. Maybe he has been sent to the headquarter of Night Empire again.
âI said you live in my house.â He doesnât look at Xiaoxiao.
UhâŠ
She wants to refuse but canât find any excuse. Maomao, my dear Maomao, you must stay well and wait for mommy to save you.
âGo prepare. Iâm getting out in a while.â Xuanyuan Lie speaks again.
âYes, lord!â
In a lost, Xiaoxiao runs upstairs to her room, her mind teemed with events popping up one after another. About Maomao. And about getting drunk yesterday. Did she really not do anything crazy? Usually, it would normal to act ridiculous after she gets drunk.
Though with doubts on her mind, she has no time to think too much.
After taking a shower, she drives out as Xuanyuan Lieâs demanded.
Stopping the car, she takes a look outside. What is Xuanyuan Lie doing in a supermodel company? ShortlyâŠ
A swarm of journalists suddenly surrounds the front door of the company. Under the protection of security guards, a woman in white comes out.
A face smaller than a palm; a pair of bright big eyes; cute nose and lips; and dark long hair. Every move and gesture make her a celestial fairy from heaven.
This woman is the renowned Marina the Innocent Angel in the supermodel industry.
The journalists flood toward Marina, vying to hand over microphones to her.
âMiss Marina, itâs said that youâre seeing someone, is that true?â
âCan you tell us who is this person?â
Marina doesnât make a pause. Walking through the journalists, she heads directly to Xuanyuan Lieâs car, opens the door and gets in without hesitation.
After she gets on, Xuanyuan Lie gives Xiaoxiao a look, suggesting her to start the car.
âLie. Itâs been a month. I miss you so much.â On the car, Marina immediately snuggles to Xuanyuan Lie.
âI told you not to get on my car in such a high profile.â To the supermodelâs enthusiasm, Xuanyuan Lie spits out such cold words.
âI donât mind letting those people know our relationship.â Marina smiles in confidence.
âI do.â He replies calmly.
Xiaoxiao, driving in the front, almost tramples the accelerator to the end on hearing the conversation. Huh. She knew that Xuanyuan Lie is a cold talker, but she didnât expect that he would still remain cold to his girlfriend.
The car runs on all the way to a gourmet restaurant. Simply the exterior decoration indicates how awesome this restaurant is, at least not affordable for an average folk.
Getting off the car, Xuanyuan Lie and Marina walks into the restaurant. Xiaoxiao follows them by Xuanyuan Lieâs eye motion.
They sit down at a table. Mu Xiaoxiao voluntarily stands behind Xuanyuan Lie, staring at his head with complaint. Night Empire isnât short of hands, but she has to be a sidekick as well as a driver! And now she doesnât have time to find her son.
Xiaoxiao is grumbling in secrecy.
Suddenly from outside rushes in a man who aims right at Marina. He seizes Marinaâs hand and pulls her up, âMarinaâŠI love you so much. Why canât you accept me? Did I do something wrong? Why you dine with another man!â
âWhat are you doing! This is my boyfriend!â Marina shakes off his hand in anger.
The man is stunned for a second, his eyes slowly turning to Xuanyuan Lie, âWho the hell are you to take my woman from me? Do you know who I am? I have connections in any kind of industry. Killing you requires merely my fingers!â
The man returns to Marina after threatening Xuanyuan Lie, âMarina, you must know my family background! What kind of thing this man is?! I even have friends in Night Empire! Later Iâll call them to beat this bastard up!â He doesnât forget to give Xuanyuan Lie a vicious glance.
Xuanyuan Lie just sits there, calm, and enjoys his tea.
Standing behind, Mu Xiaoxiao already canât hold back her laughter. What a drama, haha! An ignorant man showing off his friends from Night Empire in front of the big boss. Tut-tut⊠She has heard that Xuanyuan Lie is a ruthless and cruel man, so now she is wondering how this stupid man is going to die.
âHehe, do you know who my boyfriend is?â Marina asks.
âShit, doesnât he just a man whore? Heâll die ugly in a while!â The man still screams aggressively.
âDonât you say you have friends from Night Empire? Why canât you recognize the head?â Marina asks while looking lovingly at Xuanyuan Lie.
The man is startled. He looks in the direction of Marinaâs gaze and finds Xuanyuan Lie is still sipping the tea leisurely.
âYouâŠYouâreâŠNight Empireâs head Xuanyuan Lie?â When he asks, his legs become on tenterhooks out of horror.
Marina sits back. She has reason to be proud merely because of her boyfriend, head of Night Empire.
âSorry, Iâm so sorry. I didnât know that. Itâs my faultâŠI was just kidding. Please show me mercy; please forgive me.â The man kneels down at once.
Xuanyuan Lie puts down the teacup, âItâs okay. You can leave.â He still sounds calm.
The man feels lucky and rises to his feet, bowing nonstop, âYes, sir, Iâm leaving now.â
Watching the man leaving, Xiaoxiao, standing behind Lie, is shocked. No way. Isnât Xuanyuan Lie notorious for his ruthlessness and cruelty? Even she couldnât stand that manâs arrogant attitude. Could Xuanyuan Lie let him go that easily?
At this moment, Xuanyuan Lie glances back at her, âGo and erase him.â
Words as cold as usual, but Xiaoxiao is shocked again. She spontaneously shudders. She wouldnât be scared if Xuanyuan Lie ordered to kill the man right here, as almost every gangster head would. However, Xuanyuan Lie deal with it in such an unexpected way. Horrible⊠Itâs more than cruel. Itâs overbearing.
Xiaoxiao herself is already the horrifying flying-tiger among gangs, but sheâs still startled by itâŠSo it goes without saying how terrifying Xuanyuan Lie is.
She nods and goes out.
After Mu Xiaoxiao leaves, Marina asks curiously, âLie, why do you only take such a thin guy with you today?â As the leader of Night Empire, Lie used to be escorted by a bunch of followers.
A shimmer of smile touches on Xuanyuan Lie âs lips in the corner, âHe alone is enough.â
âAh? But he looks too weak to withstand a single blow. Is it okay to let him deal with the crazy man?â Marina is a bit disdainful. She really doesnât think highly of the slender driver.
âItâs none of your business.â Xuanyuan Lie answers freezingly, amusement flickering in his dark eyes.
OutsideâŠ
Mu Xiaoxiao shows no mercy and kills the man straightforwardly. For her, as a killer, itâs no more than after-meal tea.
