“How dare you call out Master Bei’s full name?” The man’s gaze swept across Tong Yi, then he said mockingly, “Although you’re a little pretty, Master Bei hates women who come to him of their own accord. If you know what’s good for you, get lost.”
Although Tong Yi was indeed here to “seduce” Lu Zhanbei, his words made her feel uncomfortable. In real life, she would never do such a thing even if she were beaten to death. Now, to complete the game mission, she had to be thick-skinned and go up to him. “I really do have something to ask him…”
“Get out, get out!” The man pushed Tong Yi out.
“Lu Zhanbei,” Tong Yi shouted.
The man quickly glanced at the rosewood screen with fear and distress, then shouted at Tong Yi with a cold expression on his face, “You don’t want to live anymore, do you?! Get lost!” Then, he pushed Tong Yi out and quickly closed the door.
When he turned around, he saw Lu Zhanbei walking toward him. The man was so frightened that his heart trembled. “Master Bei, I’m sorry. There was an unreasonable woman…”
“Open the door.” Lu Zhanbei interrupted the man’s words. His voice was deep and cold, his dark eyes exuded an unfathomable expression.
“Huh?” The man was stunned for a second before he moved to open the door.
As the man swung open the door, Tong Yi standing behind it was caught off guard and was pushed by the door. She staggered a few steps back and her back hit the opposite wall of the corridor. She doubled over from the intense pain.
Touching her aching back, Tong Yi frowned. If they weren’t going to let her in, so be it. Why were they being so rough?
“Where are you hurt?”
A deep and cold voice sounded above her head.
Tong Yi raised her eyes slightly. A pair of clean and shiny leather shoes came into view. She slowly looked up and saw a pair of creaseless, straight trousers, followed by an exquisite black suit. The suit was unbuttoned, revealing a smoky gray shirt. As she continued to look up, a sexy Adam’s apple, a well-defined face, and a pair of dark eyes came into view. “Lu Zhanbei? ”
Lu Zhanbei took two steps closer. His dark and long eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Does it hurt?”
Tong Yi slowly straightened her body. “It’s fine.”
“Let’s go.” As Lu Zhanbei spoke, he walked toward the elevator.
Tong Yi did not move to follow. The pain in her back had not fully subsided. “Where are we going?”
Lu Zhanbei stopped and looked back at Tong Yi. “The hospital.”
Tong Yi was speechless. Why would she go to the hospital for such a small injury? She was not that injured; she just hasn’t recovered from the shock. “No need, I’m fine.”
Lu Zhanbei looked at Tong Yi for a few seconds before he seemed to remember something. “Why are you in such a hurry to find me?”
The man’s serious gaze left Tong Yi at a loss for words. She couldn’t possibly say that she was here to ask for his phone number, right?
“Hmm?” The man’s voice was only slightly raised, but in it was a strong sense of oppression.
In a moment of desperation, Tong Yi remembered a script she had read before and blurted out, “I missed you.”
Perhaps confessing to Lu Zhanbei in front of everyone at the hotel today had made her bold. Tong Yi didn’t feel embarrassed saying such mushy words. She even felt that this was not a bad excuse. She looked at Lu Zhanbei and repeated, “I missed you, so I came.”
Lu Zhanbei’s eyes darkened. He stared at Tong Yi for two seconds and took two steps toward her. He placed his hand on the wall behind her and leaned over, his gaze leveled with hers. “What do you mean?”
Tong Yi was rendered speechless again. Would a normal person ask this sort of question? How was she suppose to answer?
Also, Lu Zhanbei seemed to like to trap her and talk to her. It happened once in the police detention room where he had pinned her against the wall. It happened a second time outside the police station, where he had cornered her against the car. Now, he was trapping her here!
Tong Yi really hated this position. The pressure that he exuded was too great, making her feel extremely submissive. The unique masculine scent wafting off his body was too pleasant, making her heartbeat spiral out of control.
