Chapter 396
Lin Mengyao walked quickly without noticing Ariel’s suddenly deep eyes behind her.
Lin Mengyao ran fast, not having time to watch the road ahead and bumped into someone.
The impact sent Lin Mengyao stumbling back two steps, but before she could see who she had bumped into, she bowed and apologized first, saying, “I’m sorry.”
“What good is a simple ’sorry’? Do you even know how hard you hit me? Damn, it almost hurt me to death,” the man with a tiger tattoo on his chest said irritably, rubbing the spot where he was hit.
“I really apologize; I was rushing and didn’t watch where I was going. If I’ve really injured you, I’m willing to cover the necessary compensation.” When it came to serious topics, the shyness in Lin Mengyao’s heart vanished instantly, leaving only a faint blush that made her look as charming as a lotus bud, full of alluring femininity.
The man who was bumped didn’t expect to be hit by such a beautiful woman, and for a moment his eyes widened, the hand clutching his chest remained still, seemingly about to drool.
“Does it still hurt?” Lin Mengyao didn’t like the way he was looking at her, but out of politeness, she still asked.
The man stupidly replied, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, it stopped hurting a while ago.”
“Well, since you’re alright, I’ll be on my way.” Lin Mengyao said as she turned to leave, but then a fan-like large hand grabbed her exposed arm.
“Don’t touch me.” Lin Mengyao shouted harshly, shaking off the man’s hand and glaring at him.
The man’s mind was pricked by the displeasure in Lin Mengyao’s eyes, and he returned to his senses.
“Actually, my chest still kind of hurts, I think that bump might’ve cracked a bone. I probably need to go to the hospital for treatment, so let’s exchange contact information. If I need further treatment, I’ll let you know.” The man said.
Then, as if she remembered something, Lin Mengyao spoke again, “But seeing how strong you look, you should find a proper job to earn a living. Stop this scam. You look so healthy and fit; this line of work doesn’t suit you.” Lin Mengyao said with her arms crossed, looking at the man.
“Do you think I’m someone who makes a living off this?” The man’s expression turned utterly shocked, with his eyes uncertainly looking at her, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
“Please, don’t you recognize my face? My family is also in business. We don’t lack money at all. Even if I don’t work for a lifetime, my family’s wealth is enough to let me live comfortably till old age. Do I need this little bit of money?” The man raised his voice, speaking with utter pride and confidence.
“Let me put it this way, I’ve taken a liking to you. I want you to be my woman. As long as you agree, I’ll buy you anything you want. I don’t lack this kind of money; even if you want luxury goods every day, that’s fine, I can support you.” The man said, pounding his chest like a gorilla, adding to his abundant body hair.
Just as the man finished speaking, Ariel, who had followed Lin Mengyao, emerged from behind her. As Lin Mengyao was about to speak, Ariel interrupted, “Yaoyao, what happened here?”
The man, who had been focusing entirely on Lin Mengyao, instinctively turned his gaze at the sound of another voice, only to see Ariel’s angelic face, instantly stunning him into immobility.
Lin Mengyao exuded a unique feminine allure, appearing charming and enchanting like a mythical temptress. In contrast, Ariel was the extreme opposite, innocence emanating from her appearance and expression, like a child ignorant of the world, her eyes sparkling like she had wings and a halo, making one want to harshly tear off those wings, dragging her down to hell with oneself.
“What’s your relationship with her?” The man asked, looking lasciviously at Ariel, then at Lin Mengyao.
“She’s my sister, why? What were you two just talking about?” Ariel said, clinging to one of Lin Mengyao’s arms, her head tilted slightly in adorable confusion.
“Your sister will be living with me from now on. Do you want to join us? My family is rich, I can give you whatever you want. I can let you live in a big house with servants at your service, you can wear whatever you like and buy whatever you want.” The man said, wiping his lips with the back of his hand, with a hint of temptation in his voice.
“Let’s go; don’t listen to him spouting nonsense here. He’s got issues, I think he’s delusional.” Lin Mengyao didn’t want to listen to the man continue his madness, tugging Ariel as she tried to leave.
But just as Lin Mengyao turned, she found her way blocked by the man’s body, as sturdy as a mountain.
“Don’t doubt my words. I’m only here experiencing life in this backwater place today. If you don’t believe me, change your clothes and come with me now. I’ll take you to high-end places. I have membership cards for all the top places in this city, I’m a VIP.” The man said, gesticulating wildly in front of Lin Mengyao and Ariel.
Ariel couldn’t help but laugh at the man’s foolish attempts to prove himself.
“No matter your family background, it’s unimportant to me because I already have a partner. I will absolutely not accept you, just give up on this.” Lin Mengyao’s face turned cold, her eyes carrying an unspeakable chill that extinguished the man’s fiery ambition.
“So what if you have a partner? I don’t mind. As long as you break it off with him and stay with me, that’ll do. Or if you really can’t let go of him, I don’t mind having the four of us together. You’re beautiful, so I can be generous in that regard.” The man suggested with a facade of magnanimity, but his words felt like explosives, completely igniting Lin Mengyao.
