What Are You Wearing, It’s in the Way

“You… want… to… go… back?”

He enunciated each and every word with the force of gritting his teeth.

After teasing him like this, she said she was tired and wanted to go back?

She had not even done anything! How could she be tired?

“Yes.”

Shen Li tugged at the hem of his shirt, as if she wanted to help him tidy it up. Looking at him sincerely, she said, “Didn’t second brother say that he was going to send me back? So… shall we leave now?”

Lu Huaiyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

How could he leave in this state?

If he still could not tell that she was doing it on purpose, he would have been her boyfriend for nothing!

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and rested it on the door handle behind her.

Even the arm that had originally been wrapped around his neck was withdrawn.

He was actually very close to her. Behind her was the door, and in front of her was him.

The gap between them was pitifully small.

She seemed completely unbothered and was about to turn around.

In such a narrow space, she only had to move a little, and it would be inevitable that her body would touch his, making him burn all over.

He held her waist from behind and leaned close to her ear. His voice was hoarse and sounded gritty as he said each word into her ear.

“If you dare to open the door at this time, try it.”

Shen Li did not struggle but allowed him to hold her. She even stopped what she was doing.

“Alright,” she said.

She seemed to be talking very lightly and easily.

“This is Second Brother’s territory anyway. Of course, whatever Second Brother says, we will do.

Lu Huaiyu was incited by these words again. His thin lips were slightly pursed, leaving only his hot and heavy breathing.

In this matter, he was truly in the wrong. If she left, he could not do anything to her.

It was only at this moment that he realized that she had not come over tonight to look for him for another round of gambling.

She had come here to play with him.

He endured his feelings again and again, and his voice was tense.

“Wait a moment.”

Shen Li turned around and blinked.

“What if I don’t want to wait?”

Lu Huaiyu’s eyebrows twitched.

“Shen Tangtang!”

Shen Li finally withdrew her hand from the door handle and turned around in his arms. She looked up at him and smiled.

“Second Brother, how does it feel to lose something just when you’re just about to get it?”

Lu Huaiyu’s fiery black eyes stared at her.

She was telling him about that night three years ago when she thought she would win, but in the end, she had lost everything.

The young girl was really vengeful.

Lu Huaiyu’s hand was tightly pressed on the back of her waist.

“Then, I’ll return all the money to you, if you’ll give me what I want.”

Shen Li raised her eyebrows.

Was he negotiating with her?

“Didn’t I say before that you must accept your loss? That money was originally owed to Second Brother anyway, so what’s the point of asking for it back?”

As expected, she did not agree.

Those things could not be compared to her, but at this moment, he really…

Lu Huaiyu stared into her eyes for a while before finally saying, “Alright, I’ll send you back.”

Shen Li’s eyes were filled with surprise. She had not expected him to agree so easily.

“Really?”

As she spoke, she dropped her gaze slightly and quickly glanced at his lower body.

Lu Huaiyu’s face darkened instantly. He cupped her small face and turned her around, gritting his teeth.

“If you want to go back earlier, then behave yourself.”

He did not even dare to kiss her or go closer to her, his voice carrying a stern warning.

Shen Li’s cheeks puffed up slightly. He was using a little too much force, but considering his current situation, she did not argue with him much.

“Oh.”

She responded, then continued, “It seems that I’ll be leaving a deep impression on Second Brother tonight.

It was just like how she had been brooding over that night for the past three years.

Lu Huaiyu tilted his head slightly and took a deep breath, afraid that she would say something that would drive him crazy again.

Then, he grasped her wrist and led her back to sit on the sofa. He bent over and held the armrest of the sofa with one hand, looking straight at her.

“I’ll have them send the things over before leaving.”

Shen Li quickly realized that he was talking about his watch.

Actually, this was his territory. If he wanted it, he could just get someone to send it to the hotel. There was no need to wait here.

However,

Shen Li did not expose him and merely nodded.

“Alright,” she said.

After saying that, he sat down on the sofa and waited.

Lu Huaiyu stood up and took his phone out to call Fei Qingyuan.

Fei Qingyuan, who had been waiting anxiously on the third floor, saw the incoming call and quickly answered it. He carefully said, “Second Master?”

Ever since he ended the call with Cheng Xiyue, his heart had been left hanging.

Who would have thought that Gambler, who had personally been dealt with by Second Master Lu, was Shen Li?

That was Second Master Lu’s girlfriend!

Although Fei Qingyuan spent most of his time in Leland, he was still clear about the situation in China.

He had never seen the way Second Master treated Miss Shen, but he had heard of it.

After so many years, this was the only one who had received this treatment.

Who knew…

Putting aside the fact that Second Master Lu had made his girlfriend unhappy, as the “site of the incident,” Paradise would not be able to escape responsibility either!

“Send my things over. Also, get the car ready. I’ll send Ah Li back.”

A deep man’s voice came from the receiver, sounding a little different from usual.

He could not put his finger on it, but one thing was for sure, it did not sound very pleasant.

That’s right, after such a thing happened… they probably had an argument, right?

Fei Qingyuan pondered for a moment, but of course, he did not dare to ask. He immediately replied respectfully, “Alright, Second Master Lu.”

…

Fei Qingyuan personally brought the things over and knocked on the door of the J of Spades room that was on the second floor.

After three knocks, the door was opened.

Lu Huaiyu was standing behind the door, with a young girl sitting on the sofa behind him.

Just from her profile, one could tell that she was very beautiful.

“Second Master Lu.”

Fei Qingyuan quickly withdrew his gaze and handed the tray over with both hands.

In addition to Lu Huaiyu’s watch, the room card that looked like a poker playing card, and the glass of peach juice were also sent over.

Fei Qingyuan explained, “This glass of iced peach juice has been freshly squeezed, Miss Shen …”

Just as Shen Li turned around, Lu Huaiyu picked the glass up and finished it in one gulp.

The cold liquid slid in, finally suppressing the impatience in his heart a little.

Fei Qingyuan did not understand, but he tactfully refrained from asking.

Lu Huaiyu put away his watch and room card before turning around to hold her hand.

“Let’s go.

“I’ll send you back.”

…

The night was late as the black car drove along the streets of Leland.

Outside the window, there were all kinds of buildings, and the atmosphere was very lively. However, there was tension in the atmosphere of the car.

Shen Li and Lu Huaiyu had not said anything since they got into the car.

Fei Qingyuan, who was in charge of driving, sensed that something was amiss. He consciously kept quiet and quickly drove the car back to the hotel.

“Second Master Lu, Miss Shen, we’re here.”

Lu Huaiyu pushed the door open and got out of the car. Then, he led her into the building.

Shen Li finally spoke.

“I can go back to my room by myself…”

Lu Huaiyu pressed the elevator button.

“I said I’ll send you back. Also, I have to bring your things back.”

He was carrying a bag in his hand, which contained their watches and the room card.

Shen Li did not say anything else.

They were speechless again.

When they reached the room door, Shen Li swiped her card and walked in. She turned around and looked at him. Her eyes fell on the bag and she raised her eyebrows.

“Second Brother said that I should wear it, but I forgot to.”

Lu Huaiyu stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

His gaze fell on her fair and soft hands, and he placed the bag in his hands on the cabinet at the entrance.

There was a clattering sound.

He moved forward again, and the safe distance between the two was broken.

He said, “What are you wearing? It’s in the way.”
