BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 - Woman, you’re playing with fire!
Bai Zhou wasn’t the type to actively get close to people. This time, asking for a light was just to leave a small impression on Chen Zhong. Because Bai Zhou was well aware of how to win Chen Zhong over. It was the same method that Chu Yun, the original protagonist, used in the novel.
Of course, Chu Yun relied on his overwhelming strength to accomplish it.
As for Bai Zhou … Leaning on power was the simplest method!
Tap, tap, tap …
The slow, crisp sound of high heels echoed. Ye Qiantong’s long legs stepped out from the Xinyang shop.
Bai Zhou noticed that her originally black high heels had been replaced with bright red ones. This change added an intriguing charm to her entire demeanor.
Bai Zhou flicked away his cigarette butt and, without looking at Chen Zhong, casually said: “Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Chen Zhong’s deep voice rumbled like thunder.
Bai Zhou’s eyes flickered slightly!
Indeed, Bai Zhou hadn’t expected Chen Zhong to respond at all.
Although Chen Zhong’s “mm” was just a polite gesture, it was worth noting that when the original protagonist Chu Yun first met Chen Zhong, Chen didn’t even glance at him.
Bai Zhou opened the passenger door, and Ye Qiantong, trailing a faint fragrance, sat inside.
As Bai Zhou got into the driver’s seat, Chen Zhong flicked his cigarette away and returned through the back door of Yipin Hotpot.
But there was one detail that Bai Zhou sharply caught.
Before leaving, Chen Zhong took a long, hard look at Bai Zhou’s Mercedes S600L.
Bai Zhou noticed this but kept a calm exterior. Just as he was about to start the car and reverse, suddenly, Ye Qiantong started acting up again!
“Wait a moment.” Ye Qiantong’s soft, pale hand pressed against Bai Zhou’s right hand, which was about to shift the gear.
Bai Zhou withdrew his hand from hers.
Without any hesitation, Ye Qiantong, still wearing her short qipao, stretched her legs and placed them on Bai Zhou’s lap in the driver’s seat!
“Whoa!!” Seeing this, Bai Zhou was shocked.
Then came Ye Qiantong’s cute, playful voice: “Hey! Look at my new shoes. Do they look good?!”
Bai Zhou could feel the sensation, and he was this close to raising a flag!
He turned to look at Ye Qiantong. She acted as if she were completely innocent, blinking her big eyes at Bai Zhou, as if genuinely waiting for his answer.
Hiss—
Bai Zhou took a deep breath and repeatedly told himself: “This is the boss’s woman. This is the boss’s woman. This is the boss’s woman.”
Though Bai Zhou wasn’t someone who couldn’t control himself in front of a beautiful woman, he was still a man!!
With a loud “slap!” Bai Zhou unapologetically placed his hand on the object resting on his lap.
Why pass up on a free advantage? Only an idiot would do that!!
While nonchalantly feeling around, he innocently looked at Ye Qiantong and said: “Sister-in-law, does my boss know you’re doing this? Sister-in-law, what would the boss think if he knew you were doing this? Sister-in-law, I’m just a driver!”
Bai Zhou’s words, combined with his innocent expression, left Ye Qiantong completely bewildered.
She stared at Bai Zhou’s face in surprise, then at his hand on her leg.
And then back at his face, thinking: Good grief! You keep saying I’m your boss’s woman, but your hand hasn’t stopped moving for a second!!
This was the first time Ye Qiantong had ever had such intimate contact with one of Li Tai’s subordinates. For a moment, she didn’t know how to react!
But soon, the astonished look in her eyes began to change, and an intriguing glint appeared! With that, she leaned forward, grabbed Bai Zhou by the collar, and brought her face within a centimeter of his nose.
With a teasing smirk, she said: “Then why don’t we just make sure your boss never finds out, hm?”
Oh boy! This woman was pushing her luck!!
Bai Zhou had thought that by staying calm and resisting, Ye Qiantong would eventually back off and stop teasing him. But he didn’t expect her to become even more brazen!
This was Li Tai’s woman! If Bai Zhou dared touch her, how would he ever have the chance to “throw his weight around” in the future?
Maybe if he was lucky, he’d get reincarnated again!
Enough is enough. This woman had crossed the line one too many times, and now Bai Zhou was genuinely starting to get angry.
He forcefully pushed Ye Qiantong away and, with a cold glint in his eyes, pulled out the dagger from his waist.
The cold blade was aimed directly at Ye Qiantong’s white, swan-like neck.
With a low, raspy voice, he said: “Woman, you’re playing with fire, do you know that? If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you! If you insist on endangering me, I guarantee you’ll be the first person I kill before I die!”
Before being transported into this novel, Bai Zhou had never killed anyone. But he didn’t mind trying it out in this world.
The car’s interior fell into a tense silence.
Ye Qiantong’s wide eyes revealed a clear sense of fear. She realized that, in just a brief moment, Bai Zhou’s entire demeanor had undergone a dramatic change!
And her neck could feel the chilling touch of the dagger’s sharp edge.
Bai Zhou’s eyes told her one thing.
He wasn’t bluffing.
But behind Ye Qiantong’s fearful gaze, that intriguing glimmer grew even more pronounced!
