Chapter 55 Lu Li: How Ridiculous I Am
“…” Lu Li let out a laugh, his eyes filled with indescribable meaning.
Turning his head, he looked at Chen Xiaoyi, “Xiaoyi, please arrange accommodation for Miss You Meng who has returned from abroad!”
“Ah!” You Meng was stunned for a moment. Weren’t her words clear enough?
“Indeed, big brother treats relationships so seriously. There’s no reason to be so impatient just upon meeting. You Meng, oh You Meng, why the rush? Big brother is right before your eyes now.”
Chen Xiaoyi was also startled. She had been annoyed at the boldness of the woman before her, not expecting Lu Li to say that.
She smiled at Lu Li, “Alright, Miss You Meng, please come with me!”
Some things were bound to happen, and Chen Xiaoyi had no power to stop them. She loved Lu Li, her entire heart devoted to him, supporting whatever he chose to do.
“Then, big brother, see you tomorrow.”
You Meng was somewhat unwilling, but had adjusted her mentality. There was no need to hurry; she and big brother had many days ahead to slowly experience together.
As Chen Xiaoyi led You Meng away from sight, Lu Li’s gaze turned thoroughly gloomy.
You Meng!
He knew this name. In the story, it was You Meng who shot him.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Abroad, her name was You Meng, and she was an orphan. Everything seemed to fit.
In the story, You Meng was picked up by Ye Chen and taken abroad, gradually becoming his most sharp weapon. You Meng even harbored special feelings for Ye Chen. Lu Li, from his previous life, was all too familiar with the fate of women touched by the protagonist.
Lu Ya, Zhang Ziqin were the brightest examples. He spent time, emotions, everything, trying to change his fate, yet he couldn’t alter the outcome of these two women’s gaze turning towards Ye Chen after he appeared.
He couldn’t even earn a sliver of familial affection from Lu Ya or a bit of romantic feelings from Zhang Ziqin.
Perhaps holding onto a sliver of hope in his heart, Lu Li picked up his computer and began searching.
After about fifteen minutes, he despaired.
Slowly closing his eyes, was it painful? It seemed so. He thought that after experiencing those things in his last life, he wouldn’t feel this way again, that he was numb, but reality proved he couldn’t control himself.
“Damned fate, do you really not rest until everything around me is shattered?”
In those most numb of days, even Cao Yingying, who had always been by his side, was just a passerby. After all, his heart was numb then, unable to feel much.
The only warmth in his heart was left for Li Zichuan and the little girl called Xiao Meng in the orphanage.
No need to say more about Li Zichuan, his best brother, the only one who avenged him in the story, even risking his life. Lu Li wasn’t a soul transmigrator; he truly lived a lifetime in this world, over twenty years, with emotions for Li Zichuan forged over time.
Xiao Meng, the girl from the orphanage, was also his rare companion. Unaware she was the female lead, Lu Li’s affection for her was pure.
Unexpected, indeed unexpected…
How much light does it take to illuminate someone numb?
The answer is a sliver is enough. Lu Li had the most personal experience, knowing how much a desperate person yearns for that light.
But now, was he about to be deprived of half of the only good left in his heart?
Ridiculous that he, in the end, even left half of his inheritance to You Meng, the very person who killed him. He really was a colossal joke.
One could imagine how You Meng laughed unrestrainedly upon receiving his inheritance.
Perhaps even mocking his generosity with Ye Chen.
Lu Li slowly closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, only coldness remained.
At that moment, Chen Xiaoyi returned.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look so good…mhm!”
Before Chen Xiaoyi could finish speaking, she felt a powerful force pulling her over, the man in front of her doing the same thing he had just done with You Meng.
Her face flushed, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened. She felt Lu Li’s dominance, his kiss aggressive, like a sudden storm.
Her first kiss was gone just like that, leaving Chen Xiaoyi somewhat at a loss, but gradually she adapted, slowly responding to Lu Li’s storm.
“Was it You Meng’s actions that made Lu Li realize his feelings?”
Watching their light kiss previously, she was really jealous but couldn’t speak up, fearing making Lu Li unhappy. She didn’t know when it started, but the bold woman became more cautious in front of Lu Li, caring about him even more.
After a while, the storm subsided, and Lu Li let go of Chen Xiaoyi, “Go to sleep early; my little employee needs to continue working hard to earn money for me tomorrow, don’t get too tired.”
“So you’re only thinking about me earning money for you!”
She silently complained, casting a resentful glance at Lu Li before obediently returning to her room.
Having released some emotions, Lu Li also emerged from his previous distress.
Sitting quietly in the living room for a few hours, he slowly stood up.
…
In her room, You Meng carefully took out a communicator. Without having completely dealt with Ye Chen, she could only continue her deceit.
【Infiltration successful】She sent a message to Ye Chen.
【Good, just as expected from you. That young master Ye Chen didn’t take advantage of you, right?】Ye Chen’s message came swiftly.
Such possession made You Meng sick, but she endured the discomfort to reply.
【No!】But she had initiated a kiss with her big brother. Everything about her, You Meng, belonged to her big brother. What she did with her big brother was something Ye Chen could only fantasize about in this lifetime.
Just the thought of being fantasized about by Ye Chen made You Meng nauseous.
【That’s good. If that young master lays a hand on you, don’t hold back. If it comes to it, just run back here.】Ye Chen was very caring, having long considered You Meng as his woman. His woman, how could he allow other men to touch her.
【Understood!】
She replied dismissively, suddenly squinting her eyes. A long time spent in dangerous places had honed her reflexes, letting her sense someone opening her door.
Putting away the communication device, she tensed up.
Quietly opening a slit in her eyes, she found the person entering was her big brother.
“Could it be that big brother can’t wait to have me? Was it just because Chen Xiaoyi was there before? What is this, a night raid? Does big brother like this?”
She couldn’t help feeling joy, continuing to keep her eyes shut, quietly waiting for her big brother’s approach.
How should she act? Take the initiative or be shy to let big brother take the lead, or maybe slightly cooperate with big brother’s initiative?
She couldn’t help feeling expectant and a bit flustered.
