Chapter 184 Is It A Dream? (2)
Luo Xiaoxi wanted to cry. “Shouldn’t I be teasing Su Yicheng? Why am I lying upon him like a frog?”
She could no longer continue the “you’re dreaming” show.
“Let me go!” She tried hard to separate his hand from her waist.
Of course, Su Yicheng would not loosen Luo Xiaoxi so quickly, but she had had her nails carefully done, so they were both long and very sharp. If she kept scratching him, she would leave traces that would cause misunderstanding.
He exerted more force again and not only brought Luo Xiaoxi onto the bed, but also pinned her down under him. He did even allow her to struggle, let alone scratch him.
Luo Xiaoxi had been doing what she wanted for more than 20 years, and it was the first time that she had been “bullied” like this.
She got angry. “Su Yicheng, I will warn you again one last time, let me go!”
Su Yicheng knew that Luo Xiaoxi was only a “paper lion” even if she was angry. He turned a deaf ear to her warning, and leisurely asked, “When did you come back?” She could tell he was in a good mood from his tone.
Luo Xiaoxi turned her head away, and reluctantly said, “Half an hour ago.”
Su Yicheng slightly bowed his head to draw closer to her in a suggestive way. “Why are you back?”
“What a question!” Luo Xiaoxi was straightforward and said what was on her mind. “Of course, I came back to see if you’re gone.” But then again, if you knew I’d gone home, why did you still stay here? Do you prefer my small apartment?”
Before Su Yicheng answered, she denied herself. “It doesn’t make sense. Your big apartment is luxuriously decorated and is way more comfortable than here.”
Su Yicheng got near Luo Xiaoxi’s ears and whispered, “I am afraid that if you come back, you will be sad if you don’t see me here.”
His warm breath made her ears itch, and Luo Xiaoxi was stunned first, and then blurt out a “tsk”. “No one will believe that!” Then, she pushed Su Yicheng. “Get off me!”
Su Yicheng still steadily pressed Luo Xiaoxi down. “You promise me to come back here tonight.”
“No.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “I have to go back to play chess with my dad tonight! I promised him last night.”
No matter how much she loved Su Yicheng, she would still stick to her bottom line. And now, her family was more important than Su Yicheng.
“You can call to say that the training will last long tonight and you’ll go back tomorrow.” Su Yicheng immediately offered a solution.
Luo Xiaoxi could not deny that this was a valid excuse.
She looked at Su Yicheng. “Do you know what you look like now? A big wolf trying to seduce good girls!”
Su Yicheng did not care if Luo Xiaoxi’s metaphor was positive or not. He brushed her cheeks with his slender fingers. “Then will you be seduced, huh?”
Luo Xiaoxi was not Su Jianan, whose face was thinner a cicada’s wings. Thus, she definitely would not flush at this kind of act. Instead, she pushed his hand away. “Seduced, my ass! Do you believe I’ll kick you if you don’t let me go now?”
Su Yicheng felt a headache. Luo Xiaoxi was really the most savage female creature... he had ever seen.
And he was once again rejected by this primitive creature.
However, this was almost a negligible fraction compared to the number of times he refused Luo Xiaoxi.
Therefore, he just let her run wild for a while, waited until she had enough horseplay. By the time, he could almost finish his affairs, and it would not be too late to have her then.
Luo Xiaoxi noticed that Su Yicheng loosened his hand on her waist. She thought he was not paying attention, so she took the opportunity to push him away, and then quickly got off the bed. She flopped to the carpet by the bed and gave off a heavy bam.
It was painful, but at least, she escaped from the monster.
Su Yicheng frowned. Just when he was about to ask her if she was alright, she had swiftly turned over and got up. Sticking out her tongue to him, she slid out of the room.
At the door, Luo Xiaoxi turned back. “I cooked rice and heated the dishes. Do you want to eat or not?”
Su Yicheng did not expect Luo Xiaoxi to find yesterday’s food. He raised his lips and rose to wash. In the kitchen, Luo Xiaoxi was washing bowls and taking out the rice.
The soup, rice, and vegetables were all served on the table, and Su Yicheng had cleaned up and came out of the bathroom. He put on a well-ironed suit and a dark tie of the same brand. Even the way he walked was calm and steady.
He did not have such an intense atmosphere as Lu Boyan did, but he had a restrained self-confidence, and the aura he showed when he negotiated was equally impressive.
Luo Xiaoxi always thought he looked good all the time.
Su Yicheng used to hate gazes from women. They leered at him like he was an exhibit, and then they smiled shyly with their mouths compressed. However, Luo Xiaoxi liked to stare at him straightforwardly. Her eyes were aggressive and bold, and in the end, it was he who could not take it anymore.
Now, the more Luo Xiaoxi stared at him boldly, the more likely he was going to think of something.
To prevent himself from doing anything unexpected, Su Yicheng pushed a bowl of soup to Luo Xiaoxi. “Try it.”
Luo Xiaoxi had tasted Su Jianan’s soup numerous times, but today she first had soup cooked by Su Yicheng. She ate it with expectation and was not disappointed. It was both fresh and rich in flavor, and she could still feel the fragrance between her teeth after she gulped it down.
Between Su Yicheng and Su Jianan, Luo Xiaoxi found that she could not tell whose skills were better.
She simply asked Su Yicheng, “You and Jianan, who’s a better cook?”
Su Yicheng did not even compare with Su Jianan, but said blandly, “I taught her.”
Luo Xiaoxi was stunned and more curious. “But why do you cook? Should you be someone who never does chores?” With this successful guy look on the surface, who would believe it if she told people that he could cook?
“When I just went abroad, I wasn’t used to fries and burgers, and I didn’t find an authentic Chinese restaurant, so I cooked myself.” Su Yicheng said as if it were no sweat. “It took me half a year to cook some really good food.”
Luo Xiaoxi. “...”
She once felt that it was a miracle that people turned the ingredients into delicious food, so she had also learned cooking from Su Jianan on a whim and learned very hard.
However, it was useless to learn hard. She either nearly destroyed the kitchen or wasted a lot of fresh ingredients.
After a few times, Su Jianan begged her not to enter the kitchen again. She should only eat, and no matter what she wanted, Su Jianan promised that she would cook it for her.
Later, as long as she could name the dish, Su Jianan could make it. Even at the first time to make that dish, Su Jianan was able to control the quality very well.
Since then, she felt that cooking was a talent.
Luo Xiaoxi could not help but sigh. “Unfortunately, Jianan is married, and she has almost become Lu Boyan’s exclusive chef. Su Yicheng, will you cook for me in the future?”
“What is so hard with that?” Su Yicheng promised. “The premise is that you have to move back to the apartment.”
He now had the keys to her apartment and could enter her apartment anytime and do whatever he wanted. No matter how she thought about it, Luo Xiaoxi deemed this request... dangerous.
“No!” She once again refused Su Yicheng. “The chefs are all over the world, and the restaurants are all over the streets. I don’t believe that I can’t find anything delicious!”
“But those restaurants are open to the world.” Su Yicheng’s slight smile was full of temptation and seduction. “I can only cook for you, just like Jianan only cook for Lu Boyan.”
Luo Xiaoxi admitted that this was a huge temptation. The word “good” had already reached her lips. If it were in the past, she would agree while being moved to tears.
But now, everything was not necessarily in that case.
She raised her lips and said very proudly, “Forget it!” Su Yicheng used to use these words to reject her.
After half an hour, both of them were full, and Luo Xiaoxi automatically cleaned up the table. “This is the best breakfast I have ever had, thank you.”
After Luo Xiaoxi washed the dishes and put them back on the rack, it was just the right time. Luo Xiaoxi took the bag and went downstairs with Su Yicheng. After entering the elevator, she saw them standing side by side from the elevator door and couldn’t help laughing. “People will take us as a couple. By the way, how many people have eaten food cooked by you?”
“Even Jianan has not eaten them, so what do you think?”
Luo Xiaoxi widened her eyes incredulously—was she the only who had tasted food cooked by him?
She laughed again. “Then, I’m really lucky! Hey, are you going to send me to the company today?” Yesterday she proposed it and was rejected by Su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng said, “Be careful when you drive.”
Still, he refused her.
Luo Xiaoxi was not angry but curious. “Su Yicheng, why don’t you dare to send me?” Is it because you have a fling with some female star in our company and don’t dare to let her see me coming out of your car?”
Su Yicheng smiled. “Don’t overthink, the only person I want to have a fling with now is you.”
“Pooh!” Luo Xiaoxi disapproved him without reservation. “I have nothing to do with you!”
After that, she opened the door and started the car. The red Ferrari swiftly got on the driveway and quickly disappeared from Su Yicheng’s sight.
Su Yicheng looked into the direction where Luo Xiaoxi disappeared and gradually narrowed his eyes.
It would not be long before Luo Xiaoxi lost the right to talk back to him.
At this time, a black car parked next to Su Yicheng, and the driver got off to open the door of the back seat for him. “Boss Su, sorry, I am late.”
“It’s OK.” Su Yicheng was in a good mood, and his tone was unprecedentedly gentle. “I have just got downstairs.”
The driver knew that Su Yicheng hated waiting the most. The reason why he said it did not matter was probably that Luo Xiaoxi saved him.
However, during all this time, didn’t Luo Xiaoxi upset him every time she showed up? Could it be that after Luo Xiaoxi’s pursuit for so many years, she finally saw the rainbow and would seal the relationship with Su Yicheng?
The driver was pondering, and Su Yicheng began to read the documents as soon as he got in the car. Both of them did not notice that a camera with a telephoto lens was slowly retracting, and the scene of Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi coming out from the apartment was already wholly recorded.
After the lens withdrew, two paparazzi in the car lit their cigarettes and talked.
“Does Su Yicheng ever look for women in showbiz? Why is he suddenly with this young model who has no fame at all?”
The other smiled. “He didn’t want them before, and now he doesn’t want them either. He is helping her! Just wait, if the show becomes a hit, and the woman also wins the championship, then we’ll have another scoop.”
“The title will be like this: Shifting Su Yicheng Makes His New Model Lover Famous!”
“Ha, but then again, Su Yicheng changed. This one is hot. In the past, all of them were superwoman, and we couldn’t get a thing out of them.”
“Right, who’s your source?”
“He didn’t tell me his name or want a penny for this, and he used a pay phone. It means that they don’t want the money at all, but only want to smear Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi.”
“Well—” The man sighed. “Stabbing people in the back is normal in this circle.”
