[A/N: This is NOT a HORROR book. I will refrain from describing the spirits or put a WARNING before describing if it"s too important. So don"t be scared. Your Happy-go-lucky Author is also afraid of ghosts. She can"t torture you when she herself is scared of that stuff.]
Ge Chen resumed feeding Xue Lin and changed the subject, "I"ve talked to grandfather. He was worried because you didn"t answer his call. I told him that you lost your cell phone and you are too upset to talk to them."
"It feels great when elders are worried about me." Xue Lin commented. "What about my mobile and car? I"ll be sad if any of those are damaged."
"I"m going to tell you the truth. Your mobile has been damaged but I"ve sent it to a mechanic to fix it."
"Cough! Cough!" The mechanic coughed and looked at his friend pitifully.
Xue Lin looked confused. "Are you sure a mechanic can fix it? It"s not a mechanic"s job though.���
"Yes, he can. He is good at these types of things. You will get your mobile a week later." Ge Chen fed her again.
"For your kind information, modifying mobiles is just my hobby. Nothing more, nothing less. If you didn"t pay fifty thousand US dollars, I wouldn"t have touched that cheap mobile." Louis cursed the couple in front of him secretly.
"Did you say something?" Xue Lin suddenly looked at him.
The unexpected question caught Louis off-guard. "Huh? N-no, I didn"t say anything," he hurriedly said. "What is she? Can she read minds?"
"No buddy, but I can read your body language." Then Xue Lin said, "Oh, I thought you did. It must be my mistake."
Ge Chen told her, "I already contacted your school. You will get two months off."
"What will I do for two months? Sitting here all day? I cannot do that!" Xue Lin sighed.
Ge Chen suggested, "How about going to your friend"s wedding?"
"My friend? Which friend?" She completely forgot that she had friends.
After hearing her question, he chuckled. "Have you forgotten about your friends who are engaged to the brothers of the Mu Family?"
"Oh, Xiao Lan and Xiao Ying, who is going to get married?" She suddenly said, "No, hold on. Let me guess. It"s Xiao Lan, isn"t it?"
"How did you guess?" Louis also knew Mu Liang, Mu Feng, and Mu Lan. He met them at the engagement party held in Italy. He was also invited to the marriage reception.
Xue Line explained, "Those two look inseparable. Xiao Lan cannot stand a day without him. On the other hand, Xiao Ying is preparing to be the best fashion designer while she is taking care of her future in-law"s house. She knows the moment she marries, she will become pregnant. She knows her lover very well. It"s impossible for her to get married now."
"What"s wrong with Mu Feng?" Louis asked.
"Don"t you know? He is a sc.u.m who took advantage of Xiao Ying"s innocent soul and ravished her." Xue Lin didn"t back down when she was criticizing the King of the European Underworld.
"…You are braver than I thought." Louis commented. He would never find the courage to criticize Mu Feng.
"I have a history of badmouthing him right in front of his face." Xue Lin said casually.
Louis" eyes grew wide. "H-how did you get out of his claws after that?"
"How? Did you just forget who my friend is? Do you think after hurting me he will get away from his lover"s claws? He will turn into a forever lonely man." Xue Lin wasn"t an idiot. She knew how to save herself. She would have never badmouthed Mu Feng if Qi Ying wasn"t his lover. She cleverly exploited the opportunity.
"…" Louis never thought she was such a scheming person.
Xue Lin saw his expression and said, "Don"t judge me. A powerless person like me has to live under powerful people. I should use all the opportunities I get to survive."
"Yes, you are right. I will help you from now on." Ge Chen agreed. "You can do whatever you want. I"ll protect you."
"Oi, oi, what the h.e.l.l are you doing? Are you trying to pour oil into the fire?" Louis coughed and said, "Is that really necessary? She is already tough. She doesn"t need any help."
"That"s why you still don"t have a wife and Chen has. You don"t understand women. And you call yourself a playboy. What a joke!" Xue Lin chided him. "If I was a man, I would"ve treated women like princesses. I would"ve become the women"s Prince Charming."
Louis quickly stopped her, "Please don"t exaggerate."
"I can still win over women. Do you want to bet?" Xue Lin"s eyes looked as if she was plotting something.
Louis carefully asked, "What"s the prize of the bet?"
"Ah, now that you mention, how about ten percent of your company"s share." When Xue Lin went to his company, she realized that he was somewhat rich. If she can get ten percent share, she will never have to worry about money and eat as much as she wants.
"Let"s not do that." Louis didn"t waste any time to reject it.
"What are you afraid of? Aren"t you confident that you are the most handsome playboy? Or your att.i.tude is just for show?" Xue Lin smirked like the evil stepmother of Cinderella. She was verbally tormenting him to make him give in.
Louis clenched his fists in anger. "Don"t fall for it! Don"t fall for it! If I let my ego take over me then I"ll lose my ten percent share… Wait… am I admitting her words then?" He hurriedly shook his head. "No! That"s not it. I just don"t want any accident to happen. She is a scary woman. Let"s give her a wide berth."
He looked at Xue Lin with determination and said, "I"m sorry but I"m too busy to do it. I believe in my skill. I can make any woman fall for me. I don"t need to bet on it."
"What a coward!" Xue Lin commented.
"Alright!" Louis couldn"t help but raise his voice. "I"m in but if you lose, you have to pay me one billion US dollars!"
