Chapter 270 - 270 Taken Away
270 Taken Away
Sui Ran smiled indifferently and said sweetly, “It’s my honor.”
Shang Sheng’s eyes turned red. He thought that Mo Ru would choose him, but her choice was reasonable. After all, he had known her for less than a day.
Sui Ran glanced at the disappointed Shang Sheng. Then, he walked to Mo Ru’s side proudly and entwined his fingers with hers. The moment they touched, he let go off her hand, having politely helped her complete the mission.
Mo Ru maintained her smile as her gaze landed on Lian Jing. She wanted to see how long this cold man could restrain himself.
She was confident in her beauty. She had seduced countless men with just one look, including men like Lian Jing. Men like him were arrogant and would not take the initiative to get close to others.
But no matter how lofty he appeared, he was still a man.
Males were naturally possessive and aggressive. All she had to do was to stir up these two desires and then slowly possess his heart.
The penalty ended and the second round began.
In order to ensure fairness, everyone in the room participated in this round. Men and women gathered around a long table and pushed Mo Ru to Lian Jing’s side.
However, she was not in a hurry to touch him or have physical contact with him. She wanted to maintain this feeling of being just out of his grasp.
The cards that Mo Ru drew in the second round were not bad, but Lian Jing did not do so well.
Shang Sheng cast aside his cards and looked at Lian Jing’s lousy hand in shock. He looked up at him in surprise. “Brother, you’ve lost.”
“Okay.” Lian Jing nodded lightly, but he had no intention of admitting defeat.
Shang Sheng knew his friend well. He subconsciously gulped and said slowly, “Then what will you do? Who do you choose?”
Lian Jing did not want to choose anyone. He stood up and was about to leave when Mo Ru suddenly reached out with a smile and blocked his way.
Her slender arm was still a distance away from him and she did not touch him directly.
Lian Jing narrowed his eyes and looked down at her coldly. “What’s the matter?”
Mo Ru nodded slightly. After glancing at him with her beautiful eyes, she turned to Shang Sheng. “President Lian, if it’s awkward for you, I can perform the penalty on your behalf.”
“Really?” Shang Sheng looked at Mo Ru suspiciously, as if trying to determine if she was joking.
Lian Jing glanced at her long hair and said coldly, “No need. I should go. Put this meal will be on my tab. You guys have fun.”
No one dared to stop him. Furthermore, Lian Jing was generous. Before he left, he even asked the waiter to serve them red wine of a special vintage. Naturally, no one objected.
Mo Ru looked at his back thoughtfully.
Shang Sheng noticed her gaze and comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. My brother isn’t targeting you. He has a girlfriend now and doesn’t like to fool around with us.”
“He treats his girlfriend quite well.” Mo Ru smiled faintly in reply.
As expected, Shang Sheng started talking. He could not help but complain to her, “That’s right! In the past, he would come out to drink with us. Now, he’s either busy with work or spending time with his wife every day. He has forgotten about us. Do you think he’s forgetting his friends because of love?!”
Sui Ran raised his cell phone in amusement and showed him the recording interface that had been opened on the screen. He smiled evilly and threatened, “I’ve recorded everything. Little Sheng, you’re badmouthing Brother Lian behind his back. I’ve got you now!”
“Wow, you’re so mean. You actually recorded it!” Shang Sheng hurriedly leaned forward to snatch his phone.
Sui Ran took the opportunity to pause the recording. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and pointed at the poker cards in Shang Sheng’s hand. “Continue playing. Let’s raise the stakes. If a man loses, he will take off an article of clothing. If a woman loses, she will have a glass of wine. How about that?”
“Fine! I’ll make you go home naked today!” Shang Sheng ordered the waiter to deal the cards.
After leaving the noisy private room, Lian Jing walked out of the entertainment district. He looked at his watch and could not help but frown as he dialed Shen Yin’s number.
This woman had not contacted him for the entire day! How outrageous!
In the mall, Shen Yin was anxiously jabbing at the elevator button, but the elevator was still on the top floor.
The elevator in the mall was crowded to begin with, and she was anxious now. She could not wait that long. She gave up on the elevator and ran to the stairwell. She hurriedly ran downstairs in her high heels.
After finishing their hotpot, the two of them went to the mall to shop. But just as Shen Yin came out of the fitting room, she saw Li Zi being led out of the shop by a man in a suit.
She was worried about Li Zi and hurriedly tried to follow to ask what was going on. However, she was still wearing the clothes from the shop, so she was forced to pay the bill first before chasing after them.
Due to the delay, she could only see the two of them heading towards the elevator, but she did not know where Li Zi had gone.
Shen Yin forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the man’s back looked a little familiar.
