Chapter 20: Active Trick

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that she had been fooled, Huo Ye quickly sent a message to his subordinates. “Well done.” Then Huo Ye ignored their reactions.

At the same time, Mingzhu made some progress in the investigation that Xia Sheng ordered for her. Unexpectedly, Luo Shuqi already had that idea. She was not surprised. Instead, she sneered. “Still don’t give up.”

“Boss, how should we deal with them targeting you like this?” Mingzhu asked nervously. She couldn’t just let Luo Shuqi scheme against her boss and let him ruin her reputation. In the end, that person still wanted to squeeze Xia Sheng dry. How could she let him take all the advantages in the world?

The so-called idea was that Luo Shuqi had plans to move Xia Sheng’s assets away, but for some reason, this plan had been put on hold and hadn’t been implemented yet.

Xia Sheng thought about it, it was not a good idea to use this opportunity to defeat Luo Shuqi. Luo Shuqi was still holding back his big move, so it was better to be on guard. After giving it some thought, she decided to do it herself and think of a way to get rid of Luo Shuqi. “You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll settle it myself.”

Mingzhu did not insist. She changed the subject and reported the situation of the company before ending the call.

On the other hand, Xia Sheng thought about it and dragged Luo Shuqi out of the blacklist again. It was rare for her to take the initiative to contact the other party. “Let’s meet.” She had to meet Luo Shuqi personally so that she could find a way to calm him down and maintain a superficial relationship with him.

After setting a time, Luo Shuqi thought that Xia Sheng had taken the bait and went to meet her happily. But when he arrived at the agreed-upon cafe, he restrained his smug smile and put on a serious front.

When he saw Xia Sheng’s expression, he laughed coldly in his heart, and his words were not lenient either. “Miss Xia, aren’t you living the life of a rich man’s wife? Why are you suddenly thinking of me, your ex?”

Xia Sheng stopped smiling and looked at Luo Shuqi plaintively. “Shuqi, I know you’re angry at me. You think that I’ve gone overboard. I’m here today to apologize to you.” The rumors online were gone, but if she doesn’t think of a way to settle this person, he would definitely make a comeback. Moreover, the other party was coveting her assets. She didn’t want to live in the abyss of suffering every day, constantly on guard against someone stabbing her in the back.

“Oh, am I hearing things? Are you apologizing to me?” Luo Shuqi laughed sarcastically.

Xia Sheng resisted the urge to throw the coffee in her hands at him and pretended to apologize. “Shuqi, don’t say that. I was angry too, I really want to beg for your forgiveness now. Don’t be angry with me.”

“Ha.” Luo Shuqi sneered. He raised his chin arrogantly and looked down at Xia Sheng. “If your apology is just a verbal one, then forget it.”

Xia Sheng gritted her teeth and took out the gift box she had prepared. She pushed it in front of Luo Shuqi and said, “I’ve prepared a small gift. Please accept it.” In order to show her sincerity, the items she prepared were not cheap. On the packaging, there was a huge logo that was well-known to every household. Based on her understanding of Luo Shuqi, he would definitely not reject this item.

However, Luo Shuqi only glanced at the gift box from the corner of his eyes. His gaze shifted upwards and focused on Xia Sheng’s face again, trying to see through Xia Sheng’s disguise.

Facing Luo Shuqi’s strange gaze, Xia Sheng looked at him calmly and said apologetically, “Let’s shake hands and make peace. Let’s not argue anymore.”

Luo Shuqi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before he said, “I think it’s a good idea to have an insurance policy. It’s a win-win situation, and it’s more suitable for you. Why don’t you try to understand it?”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng’s eyes darkened, knowing that things were finally on track. There was definitely something wrong with that insurance as this person had put loopholes in it. It was a pity that she was too foolish in her previous life and did not realize it. In the end, she benefitted someone else. However, she had the upper hand now. No matter how Luo Shuqi planned, he wouldn’t be able to deceive her.

Luo Shuqi wasn’t in a hurry. He smiled and changed the topic. “But I left in a hurry today and didn’t bring any documents. I’ll introduce them to you next time.”

Xia Sheng blinked quickly and nodded slightly. “Okay, we’ll talk next time.”

Seeing that the fish had been hooked, Luo Shuqi’s eyes lit up and his smile widened. “I won’t disturb you since you’re busy with work.”

After settling the bill, Xia Sheng and Luo Shuqi walked out one after another. Coincidentally, just as she was about to leave, she bumped into Huo Ye and his men. Their eyes met and Huo Ye quickly shifted his gaze away. He pretended not to see Xia Sheng and continued chatting with his client.

Xia Sheng also reacted slowly, feeling a chill on her back. She pulled down the brim of her hat and lowered her head, intending to walk around him. However, her phone suddenly rang. She opened it and realized that Huo Ye had sent her a message, asking her to wait in the washroom. When she looked up again, Huo Ye was already gone. Helpless, she could only turn around and go to the washroom.

While waiting, she could not help but mutter, “Can’t you pretend not to see it?” She wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, but because of Huo Ye, she had no choice but to stay here.

After a while, Huo Ye rushed over and locked the door.

There were only two people left in the washroom. Xia Sheng could not bear Huo Ye’s scorching gaze and could not help but shrink her head. She opened her mouth and was about to find a topic to break the awkward silence when she felt her vision blur and she was pulled into his embrace. Then, the soft touch on her lips forced her to widen her eyes, but her vision could not focus. To make matters worse, Huo Ye even reached out to cover her eyes. After her vision turned black, the other sensations on her body were magnified.

“You sure have the guts to sneak out behind my back. What did you promise me before?” Huo Ye bit Xia Sheng’s lips unhappily, muttering softly and seemingly complaining.

Xia Sheng could not retort for the time being. She could only roll her eyes secretly and silently criticize Huo Ye’s overbearing behavior. If it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to bait Luo Shuqi, she wouldn’t have taken the risk to seduce him. That way, Huo Ye wouldn’t have caught her.

Huo Ye seemed to sense that Xia Sheng was distracted and bit the other party unhappily. When he heard the painful gasp of the person in his arms, the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.

Xia Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears. She wanted to struggle and leave, but every time she moved, the other party would suddenly bite her. It didn’t hurt much. Of course, it didn’t feel good either.

At this moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. Any contact with Huo Ye seemed to have turned into torture, causing her to feel as if she was in a blazing inferno. Even her breath was taken away..
