As Louis smiled, his beautiful face presented a jade-like texture under the light. It was shiny to the point it felt ice-cold, and his tone was calm and gentle despite Cheng Anya’s provocation. “You are the first!” He patiently responded.

  “That must really be my honor!” Miss Cheng smiled. He was incredibly tolerant. Third Young Master Ye would definitely have rebutted her in return had he been provoked in such a manner. Oh, like how Third Young Master Ye retaliated when she called him despicable.

  Since there were so many people who call him despicable, one more does not matter, no?

  Look at how badass and cute that child is!

  The rain suddenly picked up and hit against the window. There was an unintentional harmony between the rain splattering against the window and the waterfall wall opposite it. Cheng Anya became a little irritated as she heard the rain fall.

  The sky, which made people restless and a little suffocated, was extremely dark and overcast.

  Cheng Anya was not somebody who was impatient. She was, on the contrary, confident and able to keep her cool to respond to any sudden change with her wits.

  She was, however, clearly impatient toward Louis. Even though she did not express her irritation, it could not escape Louis’s eagle-eyes. Given how sharp his thoughts were, his melancholic outlook was merely a facade.

  His calm against her irritability left her more than disproportionately disadvantaged!

  Louis curved his lips into what seemed like a smile as excitement glinted past his emerald gaze. “Anya, is the food not to your liking?”


  Cheng Anya thought to herself how off-putting that was. The steak was very fragrant and looked good. Among all the steaks she had eaten, it looked the best and she would have tried it had it not been Louis sitting opposite her.

  She must get Third Young Master Ye to bring her to this restaurant for a meal the next time. She would not meet Louis a second time as she was afraid that the steak was spiked. Although the godfather of the Italian mafia wouldn’t have acted in such a distasteful manner, all things were still possible, no?

  “I’m not hungry!” Cheng Anya said plainly. “Mister Louis, I have accompanied you for dinner as you wanted. Now that dinner is over, may I go home?”


  Louis shrugged his shoulders as he looked gently at her. “I hope to be able to watch a movie together with you later!”


  “I’m sorry. I do not love to watch movies!”


  “That would have been such a waste. So much less fun!”


  “Yes, I wonder who made me out to be so outstanding.” Cheng Anya mocked herself. She scoffed in her heart at the thought of watching a movie. To think he had the gall to say that was something to do? To book an entire cinema?

  Louis had a dark sense of danger that Cheng Anya had no intention to probe or get into contact with. It would have been better had he been nice enough to let her go!

  Actually, she wouldn’t have been able to resist had he wanted to do anything to her, no?

  This restaurant was filled with his men. The waitresses were so far away and the restaurant seemed empty. As a weak woman, how could she stand up against a godfather? Unless she was Athena, she would not stand a chance against him.

  Cheng Anya seemed a little nervous as she looked around!

  She secretly contemplated whether to take out that pair of black-framed glasses from her table to disgust him. Perhaps his interest in her would not be this intense.

  “Anya, why are you so nervous?” Louis laughed elegantly as he dug into his meal. “I am always polite toward ladies. Don’t worry. I will not do anything that is out of character!”


  This man was sure a keen person as she had already concealed her emotions extremely well!

  He was very respectful toward ladies! Wow!

  She could not see how she could be a lady.

  “Mister Louis, you sure love to crack jokes!” Cheng Anya said plainly. How did kidnapping her from the hospital to this place constitute manners?

  “You dress very differently today! What happened? Did Third Young Master Ye’s taste change?” Louis scanned her country bumpkin-like attire and seemingly laughed. His passionate gaze was emotional and charming.

  “He has recently taken a liking to uncouth women!” Cheng Anya said matter-of-factly. Louis smiled gently…


  Cheng Anya had this weird feeling that Louis normally laughed silently. When people heard him laugh, their goosebumps would stand at his especially sinister laughter!

  “He is still so cute!”


  Cheng Anya frowned. For a man to earn praise from another man as ‘cute’ led her to involuntarily think about some impure treachery. This was especially so as Third Young Master Ye and ‘cuteness’ did not mix.

  Could it really be as Ning Ning had said—that Louis had taken a liking to Third Young Master Ye? She was totally stunned.

  According to Ning Ning and Third Young Master Ye, he had slight pedophilia and took a liking to young men and women. However one looked at Third Young Master Ye, he surely did not seem that youthful…


  Wait…


  “Mister Louis, did you know President Ye from some time ago?” She acutely grasped the hidden meaning in Louis’s question. According to her information, the two of them had never met each other before. But Louis’s response seemed to…


  Louis squinted slightly. This woman was extremely keen!

  What do you think?” Louis asked in return as he ate his steak. Cheng Anya frowned, deep in thought.

  The cell phone suddenly rang and Cheng Anya was relieved like somebody in the dark suddenly seeing the light.

  “Anya, where are you? The doctor said you had returned home long ago. What’s taking you so long?” Third Young Master Ye’s cold voice came through the phone. “Baby has prepared dinner. Make haste!”


  “You went to the hospital?”


  “Uh, I wanted to pick you up originally!” Third Young Master Ye explained embarrassingly. “Where are you? I am home already!” He sounded angry.

  “Mister Louis dragged me to dinner with him!” Cheng Anya looked at Louis.

  Louis curled his lips into a gentle smile whilst Cheng Anya’s heart was held in the balance. “Where are you?” Third Young Master Ye said quietly after a moment of silence.

  Cheng Anya heard him wearing his jacket and grabbing his car keys, and thought how he hasty he was. He sounded extremely worried!

  “Hughes Square!”


  “Wait for me at the ground floor of this particular emporium!”


  “Sure!”


  “You… Are you okay?”


  “Come over first!”


  As she ended the call, Louis was patiently cutting his steak and gently asked, “You are really not considering watching a movie with me?”


  Cheng Anya shook her head and smiled. “I am not interested in movies!”


  “What a pity!” Louis smiled. Cheng Anya noticed that this was the second time he described it as pity, and it was in a plain tone!

  “Thank you for inviting me to dinner!”


  Louis scanned the untouched steak and the beverage, which was as untouched. He curled his lips and raised his brows slightly. “You’re welcome. I guarantee you that you will concede someday!”


  There was a sinister cold, much like a vicious snake, to his smile.

  “Go to the supermarket and buy a pillow!” Cheng Anya said matter-of-factly.

  Louis was at a loss and did not seem to understand what she said. He wondered why she digressed.

  Cheng Anya was happy to be able to have the upper hand after such a tussle. Bad jokes were indeed not universal.
