Chapter 16 I Don't Want to See You!
"Oh, I thought it was someone else, what are you doing standing in front of someone's house?" When Lu He came home from get off work, she saw Duanmu Cong standing dejectedly under her villa, refusing to leave.
The curtains upstairs were tightly drawn; it seemed Xia Lan had refused to see him.
This taunt naturally provoked Duanmu Cong to turn around angrily: "Wen Shiyu, what exactly did you say to Lanlan? Why won't she see me?"
Lu He feigned surprise and opened his mouth: "No way, big brother, she won't see you, instead of looking for the reason yourself, you're blaming me?"
"Wen Shiyu! I know you started the fire in the warehouse!" Duanmu Cong straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, and with his height of over 1.8 meters, he looked down at Duanmu Cong with a condescending gaze.
Lu He knew the premise of these kinds of romance comics: as long as the villain didn't let anything slip, the protagonist would never find any evidence. So she wasn't afraid of him at all; she was just putting on a brave front: "Is the president of Duanmu Group really this irresponsible? Slandering the president of a rival company is a big deal; it should at least make it to the trending topics, right?"
"You!" Duanmu was speechless, furious but helpless, and could only suffer in silence.
After carefully examining the angry Duanmu Cong, Lu He noticed his sharply defined eyebrows and bright eyes, which were twisted in anger. However, as the male lead, even in his loss of composure, his handsome features and beautiful jawline, like a finely sculpted sculpture, were still undeniable. It was just a pity that Lu He was past the age where mere male beauty could win her over.
"You should go back and worry about your goods. Don't bother me at my house unless it's absolutely necessary." Lu He stretched out her hand, engrossed in playing with her fingernails, too lazy to even look at him.
"Have you no shame? Did I come here to see you? You're really good at flattering yourself!" Duanmu Cong sneered back, not to be outdone. This woman was still up to no good. No wonder she was targeting me. If she couldn't have me, she would destroy me.
"Tsk, man, are you trying to get my attention?" Using magic to defeat magic is usually the most effective method.
"Wen Shiyu, you're really delusional. I've never liked you. Can you just give up on that idea?" Duanmu Cong's eyebrows were practically twisted into a pretzel.
"Oh dear, you've been exposed, are you getting anxious?" Lu He was having a great time, but she couldn't help but feel disgusted by this confident man.
"You disgust me." Duanmu Cong squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
"Then why did you come to block my door? That's hilarious. Why don't you find a comfortable place to kneel down here?" Lu He's contemptuous attitude and tone completely enraged Duanmu Cong.
He rushed over and cornered Wen Shiyu against the wall.
It's a pity. If it were the real Wen Shiyu, she would probably be shy and her heart would race, unable to meet his gaze, instead of looking at him defiantly with a mocking smile. Things were completely out of his control.
"What? You want to fight?" Lu He reached out, grabbed Duanmu Cong's tie, and pulled it down, dragging his head, which had been held high, right in front of her. Their noses were only a few centimeters apart. This time, Duanmu Cong's heart skipped a beat, and he retreated in panic. "You, how can you be so shameless!"
Lu He didn't answer, maintaining her generous and confident smile, her eyes full of provocation, her disdain revealing mockery.
For a moment, Duanmu was stunned; this woman seemed different from before…
Xia Lan, who was inside the house, happened to be by the window upstairs and saw Duanmu Cong approaching Wen Shiyu in a state of emotional breakdown.
She immediately panicked and ran downstairs in a fluster.
I pushed open the door and saw the two of them stepping back.
Without thinking, she rushed over, stood between the two, and reached out to protect Wen Shiyu, separating them.
"Lanlan! You've finally come out to see me!" Duanmu Cong excitedly stepped forward, but was stopped by Xia Lan with a gesture.
"Don't come any closer..." Xia Lan's tone was very cold.
"Are you still angry?" Duanmu Cong took a step back and stood awkwardly in place, at a loss.
This question stumped Xia Lan. It was impossible for her not to be angry, but her emotions were not just anger; there was also a feeling that she couldn't quite explain.
"I don't want to see you these next few days... You should leave." In the end, Xia Lan gave him the order to leave.
Duanmu Cong didn't say anything more, his eyes filled with heartbreak, and he remained standing there.
Seeing the two of them locked in a stalemate, Lu He grabbed Xia Lan's hand without saying a word: "Let's go home..." Then she glanced at Duanmu Cong indifferently: "Ignore him!"
"Wen Shiyu!" Duanmu Cong's gentle gaze instantly turned sharp: "You won't get your way. You're doomed to lose this event!"
Lu He didn't turn around or respond; instead, a cold smile appeared on her lips. She pulled Xia Lan into the villa, and the door slammed shut, leaving Duanmu Cong standing alone outside.
"You just now..." Back inside, Xia Lan couldn't help but ask Duanmu Cong if he had hurt Lu He.
Lu He turned around casually, a teasing tone in her voice: "What's wrong? Jealous? Don't worry, I didn't take advantage of him~"
"No!" Xia Lan pouted, feeling wronged. "I am... never mind..." She snorted and gave up helplessly.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Lu He patted her head to comfort her. Then she took her phone and went to the study: "I'm going to make a few work calls..."
Xia Lan nodded obediently, then sat in the living room in a daze. She glanced out the window; Ah Cong was still there. She frowned, recalling the complicated emotions she had just felt. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her; she just felt like she didn't like Ah Cong as much anymore…
In the study, Lu He was secretly talking to the all-knowing Xiao Yang, "Is that matter settled as well?"
"Yes, Mr. Wen, it's already signed. We've received photos from them; it's all in black and white!"
"Not bad, it seems to be going smoothly." Lu He gently lifted the curtain of the study, narrowed his eyes like a hunter, and looked at Duanmu Cong who was still standing outside the iron gate of the villa.
