Chapter 1014: Pulled into His Arms
Somehow, Yu Chuhe kept feeling that Ling Sheng was really difficult to control. It seemed like she was very friendly to you, and you couldn’t find any abnormality about it. However, you could clearly sense the distance she placed between the both of you. It was as though there was an invisible barrier separating you and her unintentionally. No matter how hard you tried, it was difficult to break through the defenses she had constructed.
“Chuhe, why do I feel that Ling Sheng is always indifferent toward you?” Yang Zhicheng had also realized it. In the past, it wouldn’t even take two days to notice the woman’s change in att.i.tude toward Chuhe.
However, when it came to Ling Sheng, she was completely unmoved. One simply could not figure out what she was thinking.
“Brother Yang, are you sure she doesn’t have a boyfriend?” Yu Chuhe frowned with glowering eyes as he rubbed his aching temples. It had been nearly a week, but his relationship with Ling Sheng had not progressed any further.
This was the first time he had met such a difficult woman. However, the more difficult she was, the more it aroused his desire to conquer her. He simply didn’t believe that he couldn’t take down a mere chit who grew up in the countryside.
“So what if she has a boyfriend? Didn’t that Mi Ying also have a boyfriend? She was already in the talks of marriage. Wasn’t she still so infatuated that she couldn’t live without you?” Yang Zhicheng was very confident in him. As long as he could take down that girl Ling Sheng, as Yu Chuhe’s agent, he would also gain unimaginably tremendous benefits.
When Yu Chuhe heard this, he laughed aloud confidently. “Don’t worry, Brother Yang. That wench, Ling Sheng, won’t be able to last much longer under my attacks. She’s just making sure of her feelings. She was already moved by me a long time ago.”
Yang Zhicheng also laughed out loud happily and patted his shoulder. “I know that there’s nothing you can’t do in this world. And no woman you can’t woo.”
Even men were completely controlled in the palm of his hand, not to mention the women. He swung both ways.
When Ling Sheng pa.s.sed by Yu Chuhe’s van, she specially took another glance
Not only was Yu Chuhe a scheming person, but he was also very patient. He knew where to draw the line and how to manipulate others. He didn’t engage in a crazy and intense pursuit, but it was the smooth and silent kind of pursuit that would win someone over without her notice.
She could not help but admire him for his brilliant tactics. Unfortunately, she had absolutely no interest in him. Even without her father’s warning, she would at most treat him as a friend and wouldn’t develop their relationship any further. However, any other woman would definitely have developed a favorable impression of him long before.
“Sheng Sheng.” Yu Chuhe got out of the car and greeted her with a smile. “There’s no training at night. My friend introduced me to a good place. The food is especially delicious. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Ling Sheng rejected him politely. “Brother Yu, I have an appointment with my mom for dinner tonight. Sorry!”
An obvious hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Chuhe’s eyes. He did it for her to see, but he readily said, “It’s all right. Eating with your mom is more important.”
Ling Sheng walked on. Upon seeing him follow her, she asked, “Brother Yu, where are you going?”
Yu Chuhe said, “Can’t I simply walk you there? This place is quite secluded. Park your car a little closer next time.”
Ling Sheng said, “There wasn’t any more parking s.p.a.ce when I came over.”
The duo chatted as they walked. Yu Chuhe had said that he was a fan of Nangong Lengyu. He didn’t know if he would have a chance to meet his idol, but he didn’t beat around the bush either. “Sheng Sheng, can you introduce me to her?”
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng would definitely have agreed if she had not known his true motive and face. However, that was impossible now. “When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely introduce the both of you to each other.”
Yu Chuhe did not continue on this topic either. His eyes casually swept over the manhole cover in front of him, and a calculating glint rapidly flashed across his eyes. He took two steps to the side, squeezing Ling Sheng to the side of the road specifically. As long as she kept walking straight, she would be in the exact position to step onto the manhole.
Ling Sheng was sharp-eyed. Ever since Yu Chuhe wanted to see her off, she had been paying attention to all his changes. Her gaze stopped at the manhole for a moment, and she already had a plan in mind. When she reached it, she deliberately avoided the manhole.
Yu Chuhe had not expected her to avoid it. If an ordinary person saw the manhole, they would definitely walk straight ahead. Not many people would deliberately avoid it. However, it was already impossible to stop halfway. If he avoided it as well, it would appear too intentional. He was about to throw caution to the wind and walk right up.
If he walked ahead and fell into the manhole, although he might suffer some physical pain, Ling Sheng wouldn’t be able to escape anymore either. She would definitely save him and feel sorry for him. A sense of guilt would well up in her heart, and the two of them would have a chance to get close to each other afterward.
“Brother Yu.” Ling Sheng grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. She smiled and explained, “Be careful of the manhole. I never walk over manholes. When I was young, I fell into a manhole once and was traumatized. Hence, I’ll steer clear whenever I see one.”
“The manhole cover at your place is so flimsy, huh!” A hint of regret appeared in Yu Chuhe’s eyes but he still heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Who would be willing to fall into this pitch-black pit? There was nothing wrong with his brain either. However, in order to woo her successfully, he was going all out now.
“Manhole covers are indeed st.u.r.dy, but who knows if I’ll run into any made of poor quality,” Ling Sheng smiled.
“You speak of manhole covers like they’re made of tofu.” Yu Chuhe walked to the manhole cover ahead and demonstrated. “Don’t worry about the quality of the manhole covers in the capital. Someone will inspect them regularly. The situation you mentioned won’t happen.”
Ling Sheng turned around to look at the manhole cover behind her. She was already certain that there was definitely a problem with that manhole cover. Yu Chuhe seriously had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He was already starting to use these crooked tricks. It was simply impossible to guard against him. Whoever got together with such a person was truly unlucky for eight lifetimes.
However, his professionalism wasn’t bad, especially his acting skills. Among the new generation of actors, he was definitely the top dog. The foundation of his acting lines was also first-rate.
Yu Chuhe was full of suppressed anger. When he saw Ling Sheng’s car disappear in front of him, his eyes turned sinister. He was already prepared to sacrifice himself, but he still hadn’t been able to make her stay. Exactly what was that d.a.m.n brat thinking? Or had he not done enough?
He was very confident that she had not suspected him. Or did she not like men like him at all? Then, what kind did she like? It was already too late for him to change.
He had never expected that one day, he would not be able to please a woman no matter what he did. All his plans had failed in front of her, making him feel powerless for the first time.
As soon as Ling Sheng got in the car, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. Then, she smoothly hooked her arms around the man’s neck and beamed at him. “Mr. Jun, is this considered breaking into someone else’s private car?”
