Chapter 26: Seem To Have Been Face-Slapped… Stings!
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
With those deep penetrating eyes, Lu Yanchen looked at s.h.i.+ Guang calmly with a pretty indifferent expression, “Following you?”
He just returned the question gently with that deep and rich voice of his, which was just like an intoxicating red wine.
Curling his lips, he seemed to be smiling and yet not at the same time.
s.h.i.+ Guang felt that he was just mocking her as she darkened her face while saying, “Are you not? Don’t tell me that you just happen to stay here as well, and on the eleventh floor as well!”
Lu Yanchen replied to her, “I don’t stay on the 11th floor.”
s.h.i.+ Guang felt that Lu Yanchen’s skin was really so thick that he was bordering on the edge of being shameless now, “If you’re not staying at the 11th floor, why did you not press for the b.u.t.ton after entering the lift? If you’re not following me, what are you doing? What’s the difference between you and a pervert right now?”
Lu Yanchen no longer tried to explain as he pursed his lips, causing that smile on his face to slowly wipe off.
When he bore his expression of amus.e.m.e.nt, s.h.i.+ Guang felt that he was just mocking her. But when he was not smiling and just freezing up his face, there seemed to be a layer of frostiness covering his entire face, such that she did not really dare to look at him.
In her heart, she felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.
Actually, she had wanted to mock Lu Yanchen for following an ex-girlfriend from a breakup.
‘Are you regretting it and discovering that your feelings have yet to disappear entirely?’
But, she was afraid that she might end up being mocked even more miserably by Lu Yanchen. While this man did not speak much, his words were really venomous at times.
The lift came to a stop as s.h.i.+ Guang walked out. She even added on to Lu Yanchen, “I’ll take it that nothing had happened today. But, please don’t follow me anymore from now on! Otherwise, I’m going to call the cops!”
She had already laid down her threat as such, and yet, Lu Yanchen was still exiting the lift with her! He gave off an extremely frosty aura as though he was pretty angry.
囧!
s.h.i.+ Guan’s face indicated her exasperation right now, ‘This world is really way too messed up.’
Before the one who was being followed had even shown anything, the one who was following and was exposed was showing his displeasure?
She blushed out in shame, “What is all of this for? Is it really fun to make fun of your ex-girlfriend as such? Even if we can’t be friends after meeting once more, we don’t have to be so…”
Lu Yanchen turned around and planted his deep gaze onto s.h.i.+ Guang’s face as he observed her enigmatically for two seconds. That well-built body of his then turned around slowly as his icy cold gaze s.h.i.+fted before stopping on the wall.
He raised his chin slightly, indicating for s.h.i.+ Guang to take a look. s.h.i.+ Guang was stunned for a moment as she followed his gaze.
12th floor…
‘Eh? This is the 12th floor!’
s.h.i.+ Guang’s eyes were stuck right there as she was petrified into stone, tongue-tied and glaring with his eyes wide.
How was this the 12th floor? So, Lu Yanchen was staying on the 12th floor and wasn’t following her? She felt as though her sunny day had just turned into a thunderstorm! And her face…stung so badly! It was as though she had just been slapped tightly on the face!
s.h.i.+ Guang gulped down her saliva and acted as though nothing was wrong.
Slowly and steadily, she swerved her body by 180 degrees, then took huge strides immediately as she wanted to walk into the lift.
But, the lift had been pressed down by someone else, and would not return so quickly.
s.h.i.+ Guang knitted her brows tightly, feeling as though her a*s was on fire, and she could not stay at this place for even a moment longer.
Badump! Badump!
Her heart was still thumping furiously as though it was about to pop out of her chest right now. It was erratic and frenzied; she might literally die of asphyxiation if it stopped for a single moment.
Again, as though nothing was wrong, she walked toward the stairs at the emergency access.
Bam!
She pushed open that heavy and st.u.r.dy door and disappeared off while remembering to maintain her composure.
But, because she had let go too quickly and hastily, the rebound of the door hit her calf, causing her to stagger and almost fall down. It was so painful that her eyes were squinting as her jaw dropped wide open. While she called out in pain silently on the outside, she was cursing inside her heart.
Turning her head back slightly, she accidentally met with that man’s gaze again. So embarra.s.sing! Just like lightning, s.h.i.+ Guang retrieved back her gaze and sped downstairs.
Those indifferently pursed lips curled up slightly into a grin…
