382: Chapter 382: The Clash of Acting Skills 382: Chapter 382: The Clash of Acting Skills “Hmph, the affairs of this young lady are not sothing you servants are qualified to manage,” Xu Han said coldly, her earlier infatuated expression had now transford into that of a lofty princess.
“Don’t dare, don’t dare,” the leading man repeatedly said, not daring to lift his head.
“Alright, since you have found your young mistress, hurry and take her back.
It’s dangerous outside, especially for a beauty,” Ye Shikai said to the bodyguards.
“No way, unless you agree to my condition,” what Ye Shikai and Ouyang Feng didn’t expect was that Xu Han would grab their hands and refuse to let go.
“Alright, alright, we agree,” Ye Shikai couldn’t prevail over the woman in front of him and agreed helplessly.
“That’s fantastic, yay!” Upon hearing this, Xu Han jumped up excitedly, cheering like a little girl.
“Miss, let’s go then,” at this mont, the suited bodyguard hurriedly urged.
“Okay, let’s go,” Xu Han excitedly stepped into the car, it was only when the engine’s sound started that she suddenly realized she hadn’t asked for their phone number yet…
…
After parting with Ouyang Feng, Ye Shikai returned alone to Hill Hotel.
Looking at the empty room, a wave of inexplicable sadness surged.
Su Qingyu left, An Lan left, Luo Shiqi also left.
Being alone wasn’t interesting, and Ye Shikai checked out of the room, moving directly to Netherworld Palace’s villa stronghold.
The next morning, Ye Shikai got up very late.
After returning to the villa last night, the thoughts of Su Qingyu kept him awake, overflowing with sorrow he couldn’t express in words.
With no choice, he tried to drown his sorrows with alcohol, gradually getting drunk…
“Sir, you’re awake, co have breakfast,” as he opened the door, the people of Netherworld Palace were already sitting around the table eating breakfast.
Ye Shikai, rubbing his tired eyes, took a seat in the middle, and a servant imdiately handed him his breakfast.
“Brother, where is sister-in-law?
Why did she leave without saying anything?” Zi Yun complained, her cheeks puffed up in frustration, her soup spoon stirring non-stop.
“We had a misunderstanding, we’ll talk when I get back,” Ye Shikai replied dismissively, not wanting to bring up the topic for now.
“Hmph,” Zi Yun snorted coldly, a subtle glance from Demoness beside her stopped her from continuing.
“I’ve finished eating.
I’m going out for a walk,” Ye Shikai wiped his mouth with a napkin.
The atmosphere at the table was extrely cold.
Su Qingyu left without saying goodbye, followed by Luo Shiqi; although they didn’t know what exactly happened, they could see Ye Shikai was very upset, and they didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.
“Bang.” A loud door slam resonated in everyone’s ears as they all breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Walking alone on the streets of Hong Kong amidst the bustling crowd, Ye Shikai still felt utterly lonely, like a diamond fallen into dust, completely out of place.
Taking out his cellphone, Ye Shikai scrolled through his contact list, his gaze slowly landing on Luo Shiqi’s number.
If there was an idiom that could most aptly describe her, it would be ‘daring to love and to hate.’
From their first eting at Dark Night Bar, her love for Ye Shikai was unabashed and unreserved, only slightly subdued in the presence of Su Qingyu, which was to spare Ye Shikai embarrassnt.
Unlike Su Qingyu’s shy and reserved deanor, Luo Shiqi’s love was like childhood sweethearts, unobstructed, especially when Su Qingyu had not yet accepted Ye Shikai, he could clearly feel that spending ti with Luo Shiqi was much more relaxing.
Thinking about it, Ye Shikai impulsively dialed her number.
The first ti, the phone rang “beep, beep” twice before it was hung up.
It happened the sa way the second ti.
Just as Ye Shikai was about to make the third call, suddenly his phone rang out with a “ding-a-ling” sound, and upon picking up, it was indeed Luo Shiqi calling.
“Hello, Shiqi.” Ye Shikai’s tone was hesitant, as he hadn’t figured out how to wrap up their last conversation where she stord off angry.
“Is there sothing you need?” A cold voice ca from the other end of the phone.
“Um, have you…
returned to Yanjing?” Ye Shikai awkwardly spoke, he didn’t an to ask knowingly, but he really couldn’t find any suitable topic.
“Where I go isn’t sothing Mr.
Ye needs to worry about, right?
With all the ‘warbling and dancing’ around you, why bother asking about , an insignificant mistress without any status?”
“Can’t you speak without such sarcasm?” Ye Shikai’s face darkened upon hearing this, but still he felt uncertain.
Although he disliked Luo Shiqi’s taunting, he couldn’t deny that all she said was true, except for the “warbling and dancing.”
“I am sarcastic, yet what about you?
What are you up to?” Luo Shiqi suddenly flared up, yelling right into the phone, daring to both love and hate.
“What I did, there really is a reason, you have to believe .” Ye Shikai was stunned, sighed deeply, and spoke sincerely, trying to convince Luo Shiqi.
Both ends of the phone fell silent, one second, two seconds, three seconds…
ten seconds.
“Pfft.” Unexpectedly, Luo Shiqi on the other end of the phone laughed, a tone Ye Shikai could tell wasn’t bitter, but rather that mischievous satisfied giggle of a little girl.
“What…
what are you laughing at?” Ye Shikai said in surprise.
“Actually, I guessed your reasons long ago.” Luo Shiqi smiled charmingly, then changed the topic, “You wanted to anger both Qingyu and back to Yanjing, right?”
“You knew it all along, then why did you deceive just now?” Beyond surprised, Ye Shikai was also very curious.
“Just testing you, but that night, I was truly angry.
How could I not be, when you acted so realistically?
After thinking it over, if a peerless beauty like couldn’t stir your heart, how could you bother with those flashy won?”
“If I didn’t make it realistic, how could you have returned?” Ye Shikai first sighed, then spoke with a bit of reproach, “So just now on the phone, you were ‘acting’ as well, right?”
“Right, now we’re even.” Luo Shiqi laughed proudly, “Looks like my acting is a bit better.”
“You…
alright, you’re formidable.” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but retort, if Luo Shiqi was there in person, he really wanted to roll his eyes.
“Since you know now, then can you help persuade…” Mid-sentence, Ye Shikai suddenly felt soone block his way, slowly raising his head to look, his heart trembled violently.
“Why is it you again?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but exclaim, facing him, Xu Han was smiling cheerfully.
