Chapter 983: Your Third Master
“I don’t care about that. A father for a day is a father for life[1].” Huo Ci was extremely arrogant. He couldn’t care less who he was!
Jun Shiyan smiled and said, “An Yan, see him out. Help me send Sixth Master Huo home safely.”
“Jun Shiyan, you’re chasing me away!” As soon as Huo Ci finished speaking, he was surrounded by An Yan and Xu Xi.
“Sixth Master, please leave!” An Yan looked at him respectfully.
“If I simply refuse to leave, what can you guys do anyway?” Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. “Come on! You wanna fight? I’ll take you on to the end. Jun Shiyan, if you’re capable, don’t get others to fight for you! Let’s have a one-on-one duel.”
Jun Shiyan said, “Sixth Master, you’re being too serious. I’m thankful to you for taking care of my wife. Why would I hurt my benefactor?”
“I think you just don’t dare!” Huo Ci knew that these two people were the hired muscle around this sc.u.mbag Jun. They were very skilled, so it wasn’t a good idea for him to fight them head-on. It would be embarra.s.sing if he did not win. He swept them a cold look. “Scram. I have my own legs. I can walk!”
Xu Xi and An Yan did not make another move. They just smiled politely at him and made a gesture to invite him to leave.
Huo Ci was full of anger. When he walked to the door, he turned around fiercely and pointed at Jun Shiyan. “Third Old Jun, stop acting arrogantly in front of me! Every dog has its day. Just you wait! One day, I’ll make you kneel at my feet and call me ‘Dad’!”
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng could not help but laugh. She gave her father a thumbs-up in her heart. He was really impressive and he had really done it. Darn right that the Third Master has to kneel in front of him and call him ‘Dad’!
So this was where the ‘flag’ had been established! No wonder he always found the Third Master to be an eyesore.
When Lu Yubai walked out of the elevator, he was stopped by the secretary. Upon seeing Huo Ci walk out angrily, he shouted, “Sixth Brother, did you get your phone back?”
Huo Ci was so mad at them that he had forgotten why he had come. When he wanted to turn around, he was stopped by those two henchmen. He bellowed angrily, “I’m turning back to get something from her!”
An Yan and Xu Xi looked at each other and saw him turn back once more. They turned around and followed him too.
Since Lu Yubai could not enter either, and it wasn’t a good idea for him to manhandle the beautiful secretary, he waited on the spot. However, looking at his Sixth Brother’s expression, he must have been defeated. When he looked up again, he saw Dongfang Meng walking over. He smiled and greeted her. “Second Miss, are you here to find the Third Master?”
Dongfang Meng’s expression was very ugly. She only gave him a cold look and did not say anything. The low pressure around her made the surrounding air feel a little oppressive.
The two secretaries who had stopped Lu Yubai shivered in fright. What had happened to Second Miss Dongfang? She was so frightening!
Lu Yubai, bearing an expression like he was watching a show, blew a whistle and raised his eyebrows as he drawled, “What’s wrong? Did Jun Shiyan bully you? Why are you afraid of him? Take advantage of the night and get your men to stop him! Put a sack over his head and beat that son of a b*tch to death!”
Dongfang Meng was already fuming, to begin with. When she heard his voice, her eyes were as cold as daggers and she only replied with one word, “Scram!”
Lu Yubai watched as Dongfang Meng entered the elevator and shrugged nonchalantly. “Why are you angry? Didn’t I just give you an idea?”
Did Dongfang Meng get defeated too? Tsk tsk, who did she think she was? How dare she come to find Jun Shiyan? She had probably come for her older sister!
The people from the Dongfang Family were all *ssholes. It was obviously the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Chu, who had secretly gotten smitten with Jun Shiyan first and wanted to break the engagement. However, she just had to lay the responsibility on Second Brother. She said that Second Brother had had a change of affection first and fell in love with Sister Ruoshui.
Second Brother was good-natured and did not stoop to their level. He tolerated all kinds of slander. But he could not do it! He was absolutely p.i.s.sed off with the Dongfang Family!
Huo Ci wanted to go in and find her personally, but he was stopped by Jun Shiyan. He let out a cold snort. “Jun Shiyan, get out of the way! I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for her!”
Jun Shiyan smiled very politely and formally as he pa.s.sed the phone to him. “Sixth Master, this is your phone. My wife just suffered a shock. It’s not appropriate for her to receive more shock. I hope that Sixth Master can understand.”
Huo Ci gritted his teeth. What could he say? What else could he say?! He could only shout into the room. “Ling Sheng, just you wait. You’d better not fall into my hands in the future, or you’ll suffer!”
Ling Sheng could not help but shiver. She stole a look but could not see anything. He had been blocked by the Third Master. Could it be that her father had treated her like that in the beginning because she had offended him at this point in time?
No, no, the Third Master had said that after she leaves, all their memories of her would disappear. It was like rubbing away all their memories with an eraser.
Huo Ci was swearing as he left. When he reached the elevator, he raised his hand in fury to smash the phone to the ground.
“Sixth Brother, don’t be agitated! You absolutely mustn’t get agitated.” Lu Yubai reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the phone away. Because it wasn’t his phone, his heart didn’t ache.
Second Brother had found someone to get this phone. It’s not the present that counts, it’s the thought behind it. Before the phone could even warm up in his hand, Huo Ci had taken it and given it to someone else as a present. In the end, the little girl was Jun Shiyan’s woman!
Now, Sixth Brother no longer had the girl, nor did he have any face left. The little girl didn’t regard him as an important person at all, but he himself started caring about her.
He did not dare say these words. It would be a light punishment to get chewed out for it. Perhaps, after he turned angry from embarra.s.sment, he would even hit him!
Since everyone had left, only Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan were left in the office.
Ling Sheng kept looking at Jun Shiyan with a very complicated expression. She sized him up from head to toe and clicked her tongue from time to time.
Jun Shiyan touched his face and looked at the young lady. “What is it? Is there something on my face?”
Ling Sheng sighed again and shook her head without saying anything.
The moment Jun Shiyan suddenly approached her, he leaned in and his warm breath exhaled into her ear. “Why? Did you miss me?”
Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at the shameless man beside her. The Third Master just wasn’t this shameless. When she tilted her head, her small hand twisted his ear. “Yes, I miss thinking about you, this unfaithful playboy! I’ve always thought that Dongfang Meng’s older sister never married her whole life because of my Second Uncle. She fell sick from lovesickness and died of grief. I didn’t expect that it was because of you! You sure are impressive!”
“Madam, please understand. How could it be because of me? When I awaken, all their memories will disappear. No one will remember me. Just like how no one will remember you after you leave.” Jun Shiyan pretended to cry out in pain, his handsome face contorting exaggeratedly into a ball.
“Stop trying to joke about it. Then tell me, why are you even older than my Second Uncle in this dimension? Logically speaking, shouldn’t you be super young right now?” Ling Sheng looked at him. “Correct your att.i.tude and answer properly. Don’t act pitiful with me. Let me tell you, it’s useless. I don’t buy it.”
Jun Shiyan’s eyes scanned her body casually, and his voice became hoa.r.s.e. He smiled and asked, “How young?”
“My father is 18 years old, so you should be eight years old!” Ling Sheng hadn’t had the time to ask him yet!
Jun Shiyan’s low laughter spread from his chest as he smiled indulgently. “This is a parallel dimension. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for two people to exist here at the same time. However, when I was young, I had yet to awaken, so I can stay here briefly. When your Third Master completely awakens and regains his memory, I’ll have completed my mission too and disappear. Everyone who has come into contact with me will forget me.”
When Ling Sheng heard him say ‘your Third Master’, which carried an angry kind of harshness, she smiled and reached out to poke his shoulder, teasing him. “What’s ‘my Third Master’? Aren’t you ‘my Third Master’?”
