Chapter 396 This Feeling Of Sneaking Around Actually Feels Not Bad
Luo Xiru watched in shock as the man got out of the car. He was wearing a dark blue sweater with a dark orange wick cotton jacket. He had a brownish-black woolen scarf around his neck and had a pair of black jeans and black long boots. He put his hands in his pockets and his sideburns were trimmed neatly. His fringe in front was slightly permed and curled up.
Although it was slightly messy, it brought out the energetic and refreshing face of an Eastern man.
His expensive Ferrari stopped quietly behind him. When Luo Xiru saw him, she was stunned for quite a while. The man in front of her looked just like a young prince from a magazine. His 1.85m build and his slender body made him a totally different person after he put on clothes that were suitable for him. He became handsome and dashing.
She couldn’t believe it. Just last week, this man was still wearing various corny big brands with clashing colors out on dates. She had despised and mocked him inside, thinking about how he wasted such a good-looking face because of his poor taste, but right now, looking at him like this, Luo Xiru felt this was a visual and mental shock. This shock made her heart race.
However, now she was seriously wondering if Li Shaobin had dressed like that on purpose to test her on their dates.
“Are you deaf? Why are you still here?” Li Shaobin saw that she was continuing to stare at him blankly, so he swept her an angry glare.
Luo Xiru suddenly regained her senses and recalled who this man standing before her was. “I… I have something to beg of you. Shaobin, I…”
“What Shaobin? Don’t call me that. I’m not even close to you,” Li Shaobin interrupted her with disdain.
Luo Xiru clenched her teeth and her eyes reddened. “My parents were doing fine in their jobs when they were suddenly just fired. Also, my uncle’s business failed without reason and he’s even in debt right now. Everything happened so coincidentally. I wanted to know if you, Young Master Li, were behind it.”
“You’re suspecting me?” Li Shaobin smiled eerily. “Tell me, I’m not a lunatic. Why would I make trouble with you for no rhyme or reason, right? Since you came over to look for me, you must know how you offended me, right?”
Luo Xiru saw the danger surging from his eyes clearly and shrank back subconsciously.
To be honest, when she first got to know him, she thought he was quite stupid and quite a fool at times. However, she suddenly realized she was very naive to think that way. If he really was what she thought he was, why would people shudder at the mention of his name?
She clenched her teeth and smiled bitterly. “Li Shaobin, I understand now. You must’ve known my identity right from the start. You’ve been thinking of toying with me slowly like a monkey, right?”
Li Shaobin felt awkward. To be honest, if Ruan Yang didn’t find out, he wouldn’t have even thought about it that way. However, he wouldn’t deny it right now. Otherwise, he would lose face. “You’ve only just found out? Why didn’t you think about who you were spying on? Is it so easy to be a spy? Also, with your looks, anyone with brains would know it’s impossible for me to like you. Initially, I wanted to play along with you, but… you’re really too boring.”
Luo Xiru clenched her fists tightly. Her face blushed with humiliation.
Growing up, she had been called a beauty by everyone. Even at the police station, many people pursued her. She had never been humiliated like this before. She wanted to retort, but after thinking about her parents and kin, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
“Fine, since you, Young Master Li, have already had your share of fun, can you let my family off?” Luo Xiru said through gritted teeth. “I’m a policewoman. Everything I did was necessary as a policewoman. While going undercover is the most dangerous role in the police force, someone has to do it. I got close to you previously because we thought you were involved in drug trafficking, so I wanted to find some evidence. Now that the matter has been resolved and it was all a misunderstanding on our part, I’ll apologize to you. Won’t that do? If an apology doesn’t suffice, you can just target me. My parents are old and it’s hard for them. You have parents too…”
“Shut up.” Li Shaobin interrupted her with frustration. “Luo Xiru, do you think I don’t know what you were thinking when you worked undercover by my side? You were f*cking looking down on me. You’re just a mere policewoman, yet you dared to look down on me with those looks of yours? Also, do all you undercover cops do things without a lower limit? Would you sleep with me just to achieve your aim? You’re also a woman. How could you be so disgusting? Is love so casual in your eyes? Let me tell you—if you were a man, I would’ve beat the hell out of you and maim you, but you’re a woman. I never hit women. You should stop showing up in front of me. If you want to continue to be a policewoman, that’s up to you, but I will never let your parents return to their original positions.”
Luo Xiru stared daggers at Li Shaobin.
In this day and age, if one were to strive upwards in the police force, connections were a must. If her parents lost all their wealth and power and even their pensions, who would look up to the Luo Family and who would still be willing to help the Luo Family? Even her criteria for choosing a partner would have to be lowered by several ranks.
“Miss Luo, you should depend on yourself and work hard. After all, you have to support your parents, right? Your parents, who’ve worked in those kinds of government and bank positions, won’t be able to find other jobs easily. Who would want them? I wonder if anyone would even want them as administrative staff.” Li Shaobin grinned and patted her shoulder. “If you’re really left with no choice, get married as soon as possible. But society is very cruel nowadays. Who would want a daughter who still has to support her parents? You seem pretty egotistical to me. I think you’d better reflect on your attitude in the future.”
After saying that, he got into his sports car delightedly.
Luo Xiru chased after him for a while but could only watch palely as he drove off into the distance.
She finally understood why not a single member of the police force dared to volunteer when they asked for someone to work undercover by Li Shaobin’s side. She was the only one who ran over to take the job foolishly, thinking that Li Shaobin was a fool, but she was the real fool.
If she was a rich young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth before, now, she had just fallen from the clouds into the mud.

At the winery, Yan Molun lit a cigarette for himself lazily. After a while, he puffed out the smoke slowly. “So you’re just going to let Luo Xiru off like that?”
Li Shaobin tilted his head and thought. “I wanted to throw her to my gang of brothers to have fun, but I thought that would be too shameless. I wouldn’t care to do such things to deal with a woman.”
Yan Molun laughed softly. At the end of the day, Li Shaobin still wasn’t evil enough. A real evil person wouldn’t care if the other party was male or female. As long as that person offended him, he would make sure that the other party went through hell. He had seen plenty of such thoroughly evil people.
“What are you thinking about?” Li Shaobin frowned.
“Nothing. I just thought that… your style of dress… mm, not bad.” Yan Molun inhaled as he admired him. “Who picked your outfit?”
“… I did.” Li Shaobin turned his face away awkwardly and took a huge gulp from his wine glass.
Yan Molun let out another sexy laugh. “If you have such good taste, I will cut my head off for you to sit on.”
Li Shaobin’s face blackened. How dare Yan Molun look down on him? “Hey, you already have a girlfriend. Why do you keep coming to my winery? Go back and keep your little sister Duoyao company.”
“She’s gone to film again.” Yan Molun propped his long legs on the chair at the side. “I intend to go over for a few days to keep her company.”
“You’re going over to be her bodyguard again?” Li Shaobin rolled his eyes. “When can you be her legitimate and official boyfriend? Is it really appropriate for you two to be sneaking around like this all day long?”
“Hey, this feeling of sneaking around actually isn’t that bad.” Yan Molun bit his cigarette as he said, “Every time I sneak into her hotel room, I feel nervous and thrilled.”
“F*ck, you’re really evil.” Li Shaobin rolled his eyes.
“You don’t know what this evil feeling is like.” Yan Molun looked at him with sympathy.
Li Shaobin snorted. He really wanted to chase Yan Molun out with a broom.
…
After he came out of the winery at around 11 pm, Li Shaobin drove around the streets for a while. When he regained his senses, he found himself at the Rong estate.
He looked up at the building. He couldn’t remember which window was Ruan Yang’s room. He opened the top of his convertible and spaced out for a while. He turned his head back and saw his phone sitting on the dashboard. He picked it up and wanted to dial Ruan Yang’s number. However, when Xin Ziao’s face flashed past the back of his mind, he hesitated for a while and put his phone down.
No matter what, she was Xin Ziao’s ex-girlfriend.
If he were to get together with Ruan Yang, he would be mocked by Xin Ziao for the rest of his life.
…
When he returned to the Li Household, everyone was basically asleep. Just as Li Shaobin went upstairs, Li Xiaoxia’s bedroom door suddenly opened. Li Xiaoxia glared angrily at him and said, “You didn’t mean what you said. I’m cursing you to stay single forever.”
Li Shaobin knew he must’ve been taught a lesson by Big Brother. However, that phrase “stay single forever” triggered him. He rushed over, wanting to beat Li Xiaoxia up, but Li Xiaoxia quickly closed the door and locked it from the inside.
He returned to his room resentfully. He didn’t feel like sleeping. When he switched the TV on, a comedy that Ruan Yang used to act in was playing. Ruan Yang was dressed in white and had a beautiful hairpin in the movie. She was highly-skilled and she was so young and pretty that no one could pick out a single flaw.
