Chapter 1125 - 1128: Shattered into Pieces 7
Speaking of talent and looks, Luo Xi really felt she had to say something.
She initially thought he was just a high-ranking official’s son who managed to become an officer through his family’s influence. When she found out
he actually had five degrees from Harvard University, she once thought this man must have bought them through connections, but
when she learned that he could fluently speak seven languages, she completely believed in his extensive knowledge and talent.
There are many sides to this man that she hadn’t realized. He can accompany you to eat street food, just as much as
he enjoys eloquently discussing the art of gourmet dining in elegant and luxurious settings.
Yan Fengchi awaited her answer.
Luo Xi, however, smiled arrogantly and said, "Don’t even think about it, I need to assess you for a while longer. If you don’t measure up, I’ll kick you out."
"Still need assessing? Where do I fall short? Physical abilities? Or skills?"
Luo Xi leaned into his arms: "Is your face made of city walls?"
Yan Fengchi caught her and, checking the time, realized that if they didn’t leave now, they’d be late. "Really not coming with me?"
"With such heavy rain, I’d be crazy to go out and suffer!"
Alright, she had a point. He reluctantly let her go, and the moment she left his arms, it felt empty, a bit chilly. Uh... that feeling, truly terrible!
Missing the warmth of jade in his arms.
He took out his phone, stepped out alone, opened the door, and was met by a cool breeze that sent a shiver through his body.
..............................
"So cold, it’s true how autumn rains bring a chill." Chenxing shut the window, walked back into the cozy house, and sat quietly next to Gu Shaocheng, dawdling.
Sitting at the dining table weren’t just the two of them; there was also the ever-pressured third wheel, Nan Baihao, who rubbed his stomach and banged on the table, shouting, "When’s dinner? I’m starving!"
Gu Shaocheng looked at the situation and merely gave him a bland glance: "Don’t you know to go home if you’re hungry? Coming here for a free meal and you dare bang on my table?"
"Bro, how can you treat me like this?" At this, Nan Baihao’s anger rose: "Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? If I’d known it would take so long, I would’ve gone home earlier. Now it’s pouring; if you dare throw me out, then you’ll... you’ll be struck by lightning!"
He said with a teasing smile, "I must say, little sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you’re so impressive."
Chenxing’s face flushed suddenly, gritting her teeth to avoid looking at his teasing face, she shot a slight glare at Gu Shaocheng, her eyes accusatory: It’s all your fault, making me lose face!
Gu Shaocheng returned her gaze, winking affectionately, but when turning toward Nan Baihao, he gave a dangerous warning, "Still want to eat?"
Nan Baihao laughed heartily, "Of course, I want to eat!"
Fortunately, the servants finally brought out the food, and disregarding everything, as soon as it was served, Nan Baihao devoured it as if he hadn’t eaten in ages. Chenxing was surprised, her eyes wide, and unexpectedly, while serving himself a second helping, Nan Baihao proactively served a bowl for Chenxing, placing it in front of her: "Chenxing, eat more. Let me tell you, this physical activity burns the most calories, you must replenish them in time."
