Chapter 18

The?next second, a smile appeared on the corner of Lou Yucheng’s lips, and his eyes were filled with tenderness as he reached out to touch Lan Xiao’s hair and sighed. Then, with a tone of compromise, he said,

“I know you’re trying to get back at me, but Xiao Xiao, please wait for me. I need some time to make a great contribution to the company and help improve its performance. After that, I will be confident enough to bring up our relationship to your father. Right now, you haven’t even graduated from high school yet, so you are still too young to be in a relationship. Don’t worry, I will do my best...”

Hearing this, Lan Xiao was on the verge of losing her temper. She had come across some egoistic people in her life, but Lou Yucheng was the most narcissistic man she had ever seen.

His skin was even thicker than a wall!

Words failed her, and she remained still for a moment.

“If you want to wear beautiful clothes, I won’t object. All girls like beautiful clothes. And since you don’t want me to drive you to school and want more time to calm yourself down, well, I won’t bother you for a while. Get to school safe. Remember, I will be waiting for you at home...” Lou Yucheng’s voice was incredibly soft, and his eyes almost overflowed with tenderness.

Lan Xiao felt like she was going crazy. Lou Yucheng was exceptional at pretending.

In fact, it was said that men were more professional at lying and pretending than women were.

Lan Xiao was completely irritated by his narcissism and disgusting hypocrisy.

However, she could do nothing but lower her head listlessly and withdraw herself into the car.

In the first round, she had beaten Liu Shan.

But in the second round, she had been defeated by Lou Yucheng, thanks to his thick skin.

How disgusting!

“Driver, let’s go...” The smile on Lan Xiao’s face disappeared. She pursed her lips and sneered silently.

Then, she rolled up the window and didn’t look at Lou Yucheng anymore.

As the car slowly drove forward, she glanced at the rearview mirror and found that he was still standing there with dim eyes.

When the car was about to arrive at the school gates, Lan Xiao saw a familiar figure, and her eyes lit up. She immediately asked the driver to stop the car.

“Just stop here, I’ll walk in. By the way, you don’t have to pick me up at night. I’m going to stay in the school dormitory. And I don’t need you to buy anything for me. I’ll take care of it by myself. That’s it...”

Without waiting for the driver’s response, Lan Xiao opened the car door the moment the car stopped, and then sprinted over to Wen Muchu.

He was dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of old jeans, and had a bag slung over his shoulders.

With his simple but youthful outfit, he looked like some of the young handsome actors that would appear on TV a dozen years later.

Seeing him, Lan Xiao realized that she had to argue with whoever declared that Wen Muchu was a devil. Where would anyone be able to find such a handsome man? He was a hundred times more handsome than that scumbag, Lou Yucheng!

She stopped beside Wen Muchu and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Then, pretending to run into him by chance, she raised her beautiful face and flashed a bright smile at him.

“Hi, Wen Muchu. I said that we could go to school together, remember? What a coincidence!”

Wen Muchu calmly glanced at her.

His gaze fell on her hair, which was pulled back into a bun, and then on her smooth and fair forehead, her delicate features, and the slightly upturned corners of her lips. As he thought of what had happened last night, his Adam’s apple bobbed nervously.

Then, he lowered his eyes to her fair and slender neck, under which her beautiful collarbones were exposed. Below that was the V-neck of her dress, and the small curve that peeked out of it made his eyes grow deeper.

He immediately pursed his lips and looked away, but inadvertently saw the pair of straight and slender legs in front of him.

“Yeah,” he replied lightly, pressing his lips into a thin line.

However, there was a trace of surprise and confusion in his eyes. It seemed that Lan Xiao’s strange and forward approach last night was not just a flash in the pan.
