In the face of Selina’s provocation, Ye Hai only smiled elegantly as he continued to behave accordingly.
“Lil Rui, let’s go. It’s getting late, and Mr. Aiden and Miss Selena should be resting. Let’s go back.”
Leng Qirui, who was about to go home, instantly lost his desire to go home. It now occurred to him that Ye Hai was at home too.
“Who wants to go back with you? Don’t make it sound like we’re close.”
When Aiden and Selina heard that Leng Qirui did not plan to go back, they quickly asked him to stay.
“Young Master Leng, you can stay in our house if you don’t want to go back. My brother and I usually live here alone. There are many rooms here.”
Aiden nodded too. “That’s right. Selina and I have always felt lonely living here. If you don’t mind, you can move in with us.”
“Alright.” Leng Qirui, who had wanted to go back no matter what, immediately agreed to Selina and Aiden’s suggestion due to Ye Hai’s return, leaving Ye Hai standing there awkwardly.
Although he did not understand why Aiden—the honored vice-president of Tianheng Holdings—had to pay for Leng Qirui’s choices, Ye Hai knew that if he wanted to obtain Selina, he would have to first make sure that Aiden did not harbor any ill thoughts about him.
As for Selina…
Although she did not like Ye Hai now, she would like him one day.
Take Big Brother Chi Yang for example. Zhong Nuannuan initially despised him after he raped her, did she not? Chi Yang did not think so much of it either and announced their marriage.
Worst come to worst, he could just rape Selina first and then file for marriage too. He refused to believe that Selina would still like Leng Qirui after he made her his woman. He also refused to believe that Leng Qirui would still want to be with Selina after Ye Hai touched her.
“Okay, here I was, missing you because I haven’t been home after so long, and wanting to bring you home. Since you don’t want to see me, I’ll go back first.”
Ye Hai was in low spirits, like an older brother who had been abandoned by an insensible younger brother. Not only did he not blame Leng Qirui at all, he even said to Aiden and Selina, “Mr. Aiden, Miss Selina, I’ll leave Lil Rui in your hands. Much thanks.”
Selina curled her lips. “Leng Qirui is my friend. Isn’t it only right for us to take care of him as a guest? You even said that you’re leaving him in our care… What kind of identity are you assuming to say that? his Big Brother? Tsk tsk…”
All of her words were expressed vividly in the disdainful ‘tsk tsk’, causing cracks in Ye Hai’s elegant facade.
Leng Qirui could tell what Ye Hai was thinking just by looking at him. Now that Ye Hai was being scolded by Selina to the point that he could not even maintain his innocent front, he started to feel more admiration for this lady called Selina.
Although Leng Qirui was pleased that Ye Hai had left, he did not forget to remind Selina.
“Ye Hai is a black-hearted white lotus[1]. Be careful.”
Selina was confused. “Why should I be careful? Shouldn’t you be the one being careful?”
“Ye Hai has taken a fancy to you. I think he will definitely use many despicable methods to get you, so you have to be careful of him.”
However, Leng Qirui’s words made Aiden and Selina laugh.
“What are you guys laughing about? Don’t take him lightly. He has an evil heart.”
Selina looked at Leng Qirui like a vixen trying to seduce Monk Tang. “Young Brother Leng, are you concerned about me? Don’t worry. Haven’t you seen how strong I am? Even you can’t beat me. What can he do to me?”
[1] White lotus is a famous trope to refer to people who exude an aura of purity but was evil in truth.
