Wen Xiao was momentarily stunned.
“What?”
Shen Li was silent.
Actually, until now, everything had only been just a hunch.
She did not have any evidence or clues that could prove that Lu Huaiyu and Saint were the same person.
However…
Wen Xiao did not know what she was thinking. When he did not hear her say anything, he asked again, “Did you say that you know Saint? Is that what I think it is?”
Shen Li and the other person had not even met. Other than their names, they did not know each other’s identities.
In the past three years, they had only fought twice.
Once had been in Leland three years ago, and the other time was now.
Last year, when Shen Li had bet on the horses, she had not known that Saint was there. Presumably, the other party had thought the same.
Therefore, this year, this could be considered their second confrontation.
However, Shen Li had lost both times.
Now, she was saying that she actually knew Saint?
“Ah Li, do you… know Saint’s identity?”
Other than that, there seemed to be no other possibility.
Shen Li then said, “I just feel that there’s someone who seems to be him, but I’m not sure yet.”
Wen Xiao’s voice still carried a hint of shock.
“Who?”
From her tone, it seemed that she knew him in real life.
But… who could it be?
He quickly searched through his mind, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not think of who the person could be.
He really could not guess who Saint was, or rather, he could not guess who Saint was.
Shen Li’s lips moved slightly, but in the end, she only said, “Let’s just wait until I am certain.”
When the answer was still not clear, it was best to remain silent.
Wen Xiao knew that she had always been cautious. Without a hundred percent certainty, she would not reveal it.
However, he was extremely curious!
“Then… could you tell me something first?”
Of course, Shen Li would not agree.
Wen Xiao tried all kinds of tactics, but he still could not get anything out of her. In the end, he could only give up helplessly.
“Alright, since you don’t want to say who it is now, then let’s wait. But, how do you plan on confirming his identity?”
Saint’s personal information was extremely well-hidden. Previously, Shen Li had tried to investigate several times, but to no avail. She had not been able to find anything.
It could be seen how perfectly the other party had hidden himself.
Now that Shen Li was planning to confirm his identity, it would be easier said than done.
Shen Li said, “Naturally, I have my ways.”
Her tone was extremely calm, but when Wen Xiao heard it, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
He silently sympathized with Saint for about three seconds.
He was the one who knew the best about how angry his little ancestor had been back then.
In addition to today’s incident, this grudge was both old and new.
No matter who that person was, once she confirmed his identity, he would probably end up…
Thinking of that, Wen Xiao felt even colder.
“By the way, I guess you’ll be paying back the money tomorrow, right?” Wen Xiao asked this question before suddenly hesitating. “But since you have someone you suspect now, this money… Are you still planning on paying it back?”
Shen Li’s lips curled up into an extremely faint arc, and when she spoke, the tone of her voice was flat.
“Yeah, why not?”
“If one owes money, of course, you’ll have to pay it back. If you’re willing to gamble, you must admit defeat. Isn’t that the right and proper thing to do?”
Wen Xiao was speechless.
F*ck.
Just who was Saint?!
Why did this little ancestor seem to be even angrier?
He was silent for a moment before saying seriously, “Ah Li, I suddenly remembered that I still have a training session that I haven’t done yet. I’ll hang up first.”
As he said this, he stood up and walked outside. He shouted at the few team members sitting on the rest chairs.
“In ten minutes! Everyone gather at the training ground!”
The team members turned around one after another, their faces full of shock.
What was going on?
Hadn’t they just finished training half an hour ago? Were they doing it again?
Wen Xiao raised his feet and walked over. As he walked, he urged,”Hurry up! What are you all staring at?”
Then, he hurriedly said to Shen Li on the other end of the phone,”Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. Remember to tell me about it once you’ve checked it out later.”
Without waiting for Shen Li to reply, he quickly ended the call.
When the team members saw that he had really come over, they were on the verge of tears.
“Coach? Haven’t we already completed today’s training?”
Wen Xiao glanced at them.
If they did not train, what would happen if these b*stards were to spill the beans later?
“We’re having extra training.”
…
Shen Li put down her phone.
Wen Xiao was the one who had taken her to Leland back then, so he was also the one who knew about the situation back then the best.
But she had not told him her guess just now.
On one hand, she really wanted to wait until she had found out the truth.
On the other hand, she might still have the last glimmer of hope in her heart that… maybe, it wasn’t true?
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
If it was really as she thought…
Shen Li pressed the space between her eyebrows.
In fact, the easiest way to find out the truth would be to ask directly.
She looked at her phone.
As long as the answer was a yes or a no, there would at least be a conclusion.
But…
What if it was not him?
How could she explain the debt to him and the trip to Leland three years ago?
He had asked her if she had been to Leland before, and at that time, her answer had been: No.
But now–
The room was silent as Shen Li sat there quietly, deep in thought.
…
The hotel.
The curtains were drawn tight, and the room was dark.
The phone at the bedside vibrated.
A well-defined hand reached out from under the blanket and picked up the phone.
Then, a person sat up and lifted the blanket.
Whoosh–
The curtains were pulled open, and the warm orange light of the setting sun shone in through the French windows, outlining the man’s tall and perfect figure.
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, his black hair was a little disheveled, and there was a hint of languor between his clear brows and eyes.
After a moment, he took long strides and walked towards the bathroom.
…
When the doorbell rang, Lu Huaiyu had just come out of the bathroom and was changing his clothes.
A person who would come at this time…
He raised his hand and buttoned his shirt before he went to open the door.
Shen Li was standing outside the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up and was about to open her mouth when she suddenly stopped.
Lu Huaiyu seemed to have just taken a shower. His hair was slightly wet and there was still moisture on his body.
The black shirt on his body was only half buttoned up. One could vaguely see his straight collarbones and his firm pectoral muscles.
“Ah Li?”
He opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice. There was a hint of laziness and huskiness in his voice as he spoke.
“Why are you here so early?”
This evening’s banquet would be held here, so they had previously agreed to meet here directly.
However, the time seemed to be a little early.
Perhaps it was because he had just taken a shower, but his eyes were exceptionally dark. When he looked over, there seemed to be a vortex in his eyes. It seemed as if just one look from him would cause one to lose control and fall into oblivion.
He had always been cold and ascetic. However, his current appearance was indescribably seductive.
The two opposing temperaments intertwined, interweaving into an extreme, repressed, and vigorous sexual tension.
Shen Li took a step forward.
Being closer to him, she felt that she could still clearly feel the heat on the man’s body even without touching him.
“My little uncle and I came over in advance to check on the preparations for the reception.”
As she spoke, she raised her eyelashes slightly to peer up at him and said,
“I came by to see Second Brother.”
