Chapter 236 - A Meeting
Since the case was somewhat solved, there was no reason for Mo Li to stay any longer. She stood up, bade Xiao Rui farewell and headed home.
Flower Appraisal, is it? I have to be more careful, after all, this organization appears to target big families. They have even prepared a death portrait for me and Xiao Rui. It"s better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.
...
While Mo Li was at the police station with Xiao Rui, it had started to drizzle outside and the temperature dropped.
Quan Yu alighted from the car and Ah Si helped him with the umbrella. The two stood before a cafe and Quan Yu glanced through the window and lit a cigarette.
The wind blew and Quan Yu used his hand to s.h.i.+eld the burning end. He took a deep puff. The jaws of his face tightened.
"Young master, you shouldn"t smoke so much." Ah Si persuaded.
Honestly, he was surprised that his young master would accept the invitation from the young miss of the Xiao Family.
Xiao Yue saw Quan Yu from the reflection of the compact she held. She subconsciously straightened her back and her heart started to beat uncontrollably.
Xiao Yue told herself that she still liked Mo Yun but she couldn"t help compare the two men in her mind. Xiao Yue realized Mo Yun didn"t have the presence that Quan Yu had. When Xiao Yue first met Quan Yu, she was so fl.u.s.tered from excitement, it reminded her of the first time she met Mo Yun.
Even though Quan Yu didn"t have a muscular body, he made up with it with a kingly aura. That, plus his family background... he was exactly Xiao Yue"s type. Even though they had only met once, Xiao Yue would be excited whenever she thought of Quan Yu.
Due to her father"s urging, Xiao Yue had been on many dates but she looked down on all the men. If not for Xiao Ming, Xiao Yue wouldn"t have continued to date that civil servant, Chen Suo.
In her mind, Mo Li was still young and she was not qualified enough for Quan Yu. So why couldn"t she swoop in?
With that in mind, Xiao Yue adjusted her makeup and clothes. When Quan Yu walked in, she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Quan, this way."
Quan Yu raised his brow and then he walked over. He dropped the cigarette. "I"m sorry for being late. I didn"t realize Miss Xiao would be so early."
"There"s no need to apologize. It is my fault for coming too early." Xiao Yue revealed a standard smile at Quan Yu. Then she picked up a coffee pot and poured a cup for Quan Yu. "Mr. Quan, I know you"re not physically fit so you shouldn"t stay too long in the rain. Here, please drink some warm coffee."
Xiao Yue was in a pink hoodie that showed off her sports bra straps. When she pushed the cup over, her body stretched to reveal the undergarments she was wearing. It looked accidental...
Ah Si sat behind Quan Yu and shook his head internally. How foolish can this woman be? Everyone knows that young master doesn"t like people commenting on his health.
Quan Yu had been in the business for many years. He had faced many kind of women in his life. There were also some who would throw themselves at him. He never cared about any of them. He saw through their tricks easily.
Quan Yu ignored the cup of coffee and ordered a gla.s.s of black tea instead.
Instead of getting offended, Xiao Yue pulled on the back of Quan Yu"s arm and pouted, "Mr. Quan, that"s unkind of you. We"re here to talk business, right? How can you reject my offer so heartlessly?"
Ah Si broke out in gooseb.u.mps. Isn"t this the young miss of the Xiao Family? Why is she acting like a common streetwalker?
Initially Quan Yu didn"t even want to come but he knew there was a connection between this woman and Mo Li. So he decided to play along to see what tricks was up her sleeve.
Quan Yu glanced at the woman but didn"t stop her. He could feel her fingers ma.s.saging her arm muscles. There was a seductive look in her eyes. Quan Yu said, "Looks like Miss Xiao has a different kind of offer in mind."
When Quan Yu didn"t reject her, Xiao Yue was delighted and the smile on her face brightened. Men are all the same. After all, I"m much better than Mo Li, it"s normal for him to fall for me. Only an idiot will reject me!
