Chapter 191: He’s Batting for the Other Team

“Haha…” Du Jingtang laughed dryly from the other end of the line. “I didn’t expect it to turn out this way, too, but you’re already born, and I’m smaller than you so it’s acceptable…”
Chu Lui hung up immediately, his face clouded with a scary iciness. That face was frozen thoroughly, completely.
If it wasn’t for Du Jingtang’s inability to filter words through his mouth and his senseless personality, he would have thought that he did it deliberately to apply salt to his wounds.
He threw away the phone and sat back on the sofa again. Soon, Li Manni came over with a cup of coffee. Chu Lui took and drank it. It was the same taste that only Li Manni could brew, slightly bitter and acidic.
“Did you add anything inside?” Chu Lui asked suddenly, but he did not have any underlying motive. It was just a casual question.
He failed to realize that when Li Manni heard the question, her body stiffened unnaturally.
“No, I didn’t put anything. This is pure grounded coffee beans.” She lowered her eyelashes, blocking out the light in her eyes.
“Add some sugar tomorrow. It’s bitter.” Chu Lui put down the cup in his hand. Indeed, it was bitter because she did not add anything.
“I got it.” Li Manni breathed a sigh of relief in secret. She clenched her fist, her face showing some paleness. Her eyes were slightly confused, a little scared… and even a little unwilling carefulness.
The light from the outside landed on both of them, one standing and one sitting, and it seemed to bring about a sense of thoughtfulness and a lukewarm relations.h.i.+p.
On the other side, Du Jingtang put his phone back into his pocket and turned back to the man behind him, blinking his eyes rapidly. “Done.”
“Is it?” A faint voice sounded, and then a man, who seemed as dangerous as a leopard, curled his thin lips. His figure was extremely huge. Even without standing up, his crossed legs seem much longer than a normal person’s.
He moved his hands to Du Jingtang’s shoulders. “You’re really not afraid of the Du Family going extinct?” His cold voice made Du Jingtang roll his eyes.
He grabbed his own hair and rolled his eyes again. “It won’t be a big deal. My cousin can just have another baby, and I will adopt that child. Besides…” He poked the man in the chest. “This is all your fault. If it wasn’t for you, I would not have swung the other way.”
This was not something to be embarra.s.sed about, but it was to them.
“You’ve been at loggerheads with me for so long and kept finding trouble with me. Have you already set up a trap and waited for me to jump in?”
“What do you think?” The man leaned against the sofa again, and Du Jingtang took in the aggressive nature shown on his face.
His shameless and unscrupulous att.i.tude made Du Jingtang’s tooth ache with anger.
“We’re both the same height so why am I at the bottom?” The corners of his mouth twitched, and the other man just crossed his arms in front of his chest, his voice cool.
“Because you fit.”
“Dong Fangjing!”
The room was filled with Du Jingtang’s furious roar. “Just you wait. I’ll top you!”
