Lu Shen was like a wolf that had been starving for a long time. After sealing her words with his mouth, he forcefully parted her lips with his tongue and kissed her deeply.
His hand moved from her chin to cup the back of her head, making Hui Yin unable to lean back and stop him. His eyes were shut, but hers were wide open.
What's happening? This was not in the memorandum, ah!
The waiter came back again to deliver the rest of the dishes, but he had barely taken two steps forward into their direction when he abruptly stopped in his tracks. Stunned, he looked at the two people kissing passionately in front of him.
The man's tall and powerful body was bent over the slim and delicate girl, his hand domineeringly pulling her face towards him. It was similar to a scene of a lion bullying a weak bunny; the girl had no room to resist. It was almost as if he was devouring her.
The waiter tactfully left with the tray, knowing that the delicious food in his hands would be considered stale by the man in parison to the exquisite delicacy he was currently sampling.
After a long time, Lu Shen finally straightened his body and released Hui Yin. Her lips were red and swollen, having signs of being thoroughly kissed. But Lu Shen felt that the kiss wasn't close enough to satisfy him. He wanted her too much, and waited for so long. Now that he knew she wanted to run away from him and never e back, how could he bear to let her go?
"You..."
Hui Yin was speechless. Did he think she was a free tofu sample in the grocery store that he could eat whenever he wanted to? And she had just clearly told him to stay away from her! Did her words pass through one ear and came out of the other?
Lu Shen's eyes deepened. Through Du Peng, he learned that there was a man in Beijing constantly calling her. Was this because she wanted to be with another man? When they picked up Nian Zhen from the airport, she was always texting someone else on her phone. It was probably that very same man.
The idea that another man could take his place and be able to do the things he wanted to do with Xiao Yin filled him with anger...and fear. He did not want to see her with another man. The mere thought of it made an air of irredeemable gloom and hostile intent hang over him, penetrating deep into his bones.
Hui Yin was still feeling weak behind the knees, so she didn't stand up. Her hand badly wanted to slap his face, but she wasn't even sure if she had the strength left to do it. So she didn't try.
Dully, she continued her speech as if the kiss didn't happen, "The Nian family are aiming for the Lu Corporation, that's why they sent Nian Zhen abroad a few years ago. They're slowly buying your pany shares. I also have a copy of all the illegal activities Nian Hsin was doing behind the scenes, so even if you're not angry about their greed, I would still be able to give the pany of the Nians a big blow if I made this information go public. If you don't force them to stop pursuing Luo Lan, that's exactly what I intend to do."
Although Nian Zhen was only being 'fake friends' with Hui Yin in her past life, it was inevitable that Hui Yin would eventually learn a few things about her family. Nian Hsin's backdoor dealings were only the tip of the iceberg.
Hui Yin raised her eyes. "Lu Shen, I want you to fulfill this new promise to me. I may not be able to harm your pany the way I can harm the Nians, but I know some of your secrets as well."
She knew that Lu Shen didn't have any corrupt dealings like Nian Hsin. But the workers under him did, and it was enough to damage the reputation of the Lu Corporation.
Lu Shen stared at her for a long time. He heavily fell back to his chair, the corner of his lips hooked up into a mirthless smile. But beneath his icy expression was a sense of desolation, like he was extremely disappointed about something.
"Xiao Yin, you don't need to threaten me. If you had asked me to help Luo Lan, I would have helped her. You don't trust me at all, do you?"
Hui Yin smiled. Her eyes were focusing inwardly, as if she was remembering some memories that had happened in the past.
"Lu Shen, if I did marry you, will you still want me after my looks have disappeared and all that's left of me was an ordinary housewife? Will you still cherish me even if I'm constantly by your side day after day, night after night? Or will you replace me with somebody else?"
