Chapter 395 Looks like Miss Ruan Has Deep Feelings For You
Hu Zhi thought for a while and asked in another way: “Were you the one who suggested the candlelit dinner tonight or was it Miss Ruan?”
“I told her to treat me to dog meat but she said no and insisted on having Western food,” Li Shaobin said truthfully. “During the meal, she kept making eyes at me.”
“Then she’s definitely interested in you.” Hu Zhi nodded. Li Shaobin’s temper had been terrible recently because of Luo Xiru, so there was a need for another woman to help divert his boss’s attention. “If a woman is completely uninterested in a man, why would she take the initiative to invite him out for Western food? She even dressed you up so nicely.”
Li Shaobin added, “She even chose five sets of clothes for me and said I could alternate them.”
“She even thought of that. Looks like Miss Ruan has deep feelings for you,” Hu Zhi said. “True, now that you look completely different and have become so dashing, no woman would dislike you.”
“That’s true.” Li Shaobin’s lips curled up as he watched the building at the Rong estate lazily. Perhaps Ruan Yang was serious when she said she liked him in front of Luo Xiru. She might’ve just been embarrassed to say it so straightforwardly as a woman, so she used all these methods to leave a deep impression of herself on him.
Hu Zhi glanced at Li Shaobin’s happy face carefully. “But Miss Ruan and Xin Ziao were...”
Li Shaobin’s face suddenly fell.
Yeah. Even if Ruan Yang lost her memory, that didn’t change the fact that she was Xin Ziao’s ex-girlfriend. If he were to get together with her, he would be mocked by Xin Ziao if Xin Ziao found out.
But Ruan Yang didn’t do anything wrong, after all. She was also a victim. She was cheated by Xin Ziao, that villain.
Li Shaobin suddenly sighed.
Why must this Xin Ziao keep getting in his way?
Could Xin Ziao be destined to be an obstacle in his love life?
...
Li Shaobin reached the Li Household in his sports car after 9 pm. He took his clothes in. He Mingshan, Grandma Li, and the rest were watching television programs. When they heard his footsteps, they turned back and were all dumbfounded. The living room was silent. Even Old Master Li and Papa Li couldn’t say a single word after staring at him for a while.
Li Shaobin was in a bad mood. He went upstairs with his clothes, ignoring them.
“Aiyoyo, Binbin, you’re so handsome today that Grandma almost couldn’t recognize you.” Grandma Li quickly stood up and said energetically, “You’re dressed up so fashionably today.”
“Grandma, you’re very hip too. You even know how to use the word ‘fashionably’.” Li Shaobin suddenly thought of something. “Where’s Li Xiaoxia?”
“Doing his homework in the study.” He Mingshan watched her son intently. How dashing. How did she manage to give birth to such a dashing son? “Binbin, let me tell you. You don’t have to be too angry. Your brother’s taken action. There’s already scandals about that police chief after being in the new role for a few days. He was corrupt and accepted bribes in the previous place where he was the police chief. He even had a mistress. It’ll all be revealed soon.”
Li Shaobin snorted. He wasn’t at all interested in that police chief right now. However, he did feel thrilled that he could still give Luo Xiru a hard time. “Alright, got it.”
After he went upstairs and put his clothes down, he went straight to the study and walked slowly and lightly on purpose. He suddenly opened the door of the study and saw Li Xiaoxia looking flustered as he stuffed a book in his drawer.
“Fantastic. What are you doing instead of your homework?” Li Shaobin walked over and pulled open the drawer.
“Nothing, Little Uncle. Stop it.”Li Xiaoxia tried with all his might to block his hand, but Li Shaobin was way stronger and easily pulled out a novel. He flipped to a random page and his eyeballs almost fell out. It was all the intimate scenes between a man and a woman. “F*ck, Li Xiaoxia, your novel is a little too dirty.”
“You’re the dirty one.” Li Xiaoxia blushed. “I was purely reading the novel.”
“Don’t take me for a fool.” Li Shaobin felt his face heat up upon seeing it and he flipped to another random page and it was the same content. “You’ve just started your middle school yet you’re already reading such dirty things. There’s more in the back and you even had the cheek to tell me that you were purely reading the novel?”
“Novels nowadays are all like this.” Li Xiaoxia stomped his feet anxiously.
“Hehe, don’t you sully novels. Do you think I’ve never read one before? Back in those days, the novels we read only had characters holding hands. What’s yours like? Straight to the point and it’s such a clear depiction of the topic.” Li Xiaoxia pinched his ear. “Li Xiaoxia, you’re a little lecher. How dirty will you be when you grow up?”
“Little Uncle, I’m wrong. I won’t dare to do it again in the future,” Li Xiaoxia said pitifully. “Return the book to me—it belongs to my friend. I still have to return it to him.”
“Your friend is also reading something like this? You students...” Li Shaobin clicked his tongue and shook his head. “You better stay away from those friends from now on. I’m going to confiscate this book in case you hide it again. Let me warn you—you’d better study hard. If I catch you again, I’ll tell your dad. See if he’ll teach you a lesson.”
Li Xiaoxia shuddered and didn’t dare to say another word. Luckily Li Shaobin didn’t say that he would tell on him this time.
“Alright, get back to your work.” Li Shaobin rolled the book up and hit Li Xiaoxia’s little head before leaving.
Back in his bedroom, he threw the book aside and snorted. Li Xiaoxia was too naive. Did Li Xiaoxia think that he really wouldn’t tell on him? He just wanted to stab Li Xiaoxia in the back just as he let his guard down.
When he came out after his shower, it was still early. Li Shaobin had nothing to do, so he picked up the book and flipped through it casually. Once he did so, his blood started to boil. F*ck, f*ck, how come he had never read such an intense novel before?
He read until it was past 1 am but he still hadn’t had enough of it. This was only the first book. Where was the second book?
When he went to sleep that night, his mind was filled with scenes from the novel. When he was about to fall asleep, the female lead’s face somehow became Ruan Yang...
For the entire night, Li Shaobin was in a semi-conscious state.
...
He woke up before eight the next morning, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He got up in the middle of a winter morning and took a cold shower. He was very frustrated. Li Xiaoxia was all to blame for reading that kind of messed up book; now something was stirring inside him.
When he came out from the shower, Li Xiaoxia had already gone to school. Li Shaobin threw the book to Li Shaobin casually. “Look at the kind of books your son is reading. I caught him reading it in the study last night.”
Li Zhongchi flipped the book and his face changed. “That b*stard... Why didn’t you tell me last night? Were you reading it too?”
“Er...” Li Shaobin blushed as he scratched the back of his head. “I flipped through it casually. I didn’t want to tell you, but after thinking about it, I still did so because I was afraid your son might bring a grandson back for you in middle school.”
Li Zhongchi’s face was ashen. He didn’t know what had gone wrong. While his younger brother didn’t seem to be maturing anymore despite turning 30 soon, his son who was in the first year was already so mature that he didn’t know what to do with him. How worrying.
————————————————-
It was around 11 am. Li Shaobin went to the Li Hall and spaced out for a while. He called Hu Zhi over. “Go get me... a few... current... popular novels.”
Hu Zhi was stunned. Boss was really getting weirder and weirder. He even wanted to read. “Sure, right away.”
Hu Zhi was very efficient. Within an hour, he carried a huge stack of novels over. Li Shaobin glanced at them and they were all written by Gu Long, Huang Yi, or Li Liang.
He flipped through one casually and wasn’t interested. “I said I want current, new ones. These are all books that the older generation reads. I don’t want to read these.”
“Then what do you want to read?” Hu Zhi was really bewildered. He really couldn’t guess what was on his mind.
Li Xiaoxia hesitated for a while and moved his lips. He was just about to say the name of Li Xiaoxia’s book when someone from the gang came over and said, “Boss, Luo Xiru is here. She said she’s here to see you. Do you want her to come in?”
Li Shaobin was stunned. He chuckled and said, “The weather seems pretty cold today. Make her wait outside. I might let her in once I’m in a good mood.”
“Yes.” That man left and Hu Zhi said, “Luo Xiru must be here to beg you for her family’s jobs. Boss, now is the time for you to bring up any conditions you want.”
“What conditions could she fulfill?” Li Shaobin scoffed.
“I was referring to... sleeping,” Hu Zhi inched over and whispered in his ear.
Li Shaobin was stunned. He suddenly recalled that he had been feeling terrible in certain areas recently. However, that would only last a few seconds. He slapped Hu Zhi with a book. “Do you really think I would care about that? Think about it now. With just her looks, if I were to sleep with her, that would bring my level down. Why doesn’t she sleep with you?”
“Boss, please stop joking.” Hu Zhi quickly lowered his head. “Then what kind of books do you want to read?”
“Forget it, it’s okay.” Li Shaobin waved him off. He’d better read them on his phone. If his subordinates were to find out that he wanted to read books like that, they would definitely laugh their heads off.
That entire day, Li Shaobin was absorbed in reading from his phone, even during lunch.
Hu Zhi wanted to remind him several times about Luo Xiru but he didn’t dare to, seeing how he was enjoying himself.
When Li Shaobin drove out of Li Hall at around 5 pm, a frail silhouette suddenly appeared in front of his car. Luckily he stepped on the brakes in time; otherwise, he would’ve knocked her down.
He came out from the car and saw Luo Xiru with her little face pale and frozen, he suddenly remembered her. He laughed. “Why haven’t you left?”
