CHAPTER 673: CHAPTER 643: AO CHEN VS HUO QI 9

Lu Xizhou escorted Bo Yan to the top floor’s helicopter landing pad, dismissively waving his hand, "You better get going now, I don’t want to see emotionless people like you, who truly don’t understand the pleasures that only we singles can appreciate."

Bo Yan, "What pleasures could there possibly be as a single dog?"

Lu Xizhou almost choked on his own saliva, "If you can’t speak properly, could you please stop talking?"

Bo Yan mocked him, "Glorifying being single as if it’s some sort of nobility, does that make you feel even slightly better? If you say yes, I’ll admit you are a noble singleton."

Lu Xizhou: "...You talk as if I can’t find a girlfriend?"

"Then go ahead, try finding one for yourself, a boyfriend would be just as good."

"When did I tell you that I have a problem with my orientation?"

"Never mentioned it? Oh, my mistake. I must have remembered it wrong."

Fuck.

Lu Xizhou was too exasperated to retort, Bo Yan’s comments were damn choking.

He nonchalantly pushed Bo Yan closer to the helicopter, "Hurry up and scram, your delicate wife is waiting at home for you."

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, elegantly boarded the helicopter, "My role is almost over here; you guys should come to the capital for fun when you have the time. Zhizhi said she misses you all."

A smile blossomed on Lu Xizhou’s face, "Alright, I got it."

Mentioning Zhizhi softened everyone’s features imperceptibly; after all, she was the only child among their group, and nobody felt it was wrong to dote on her a bit.

Zhizhi missed them, and they ought to make a trip to the capital, to see Zhizhi; it was only right.

Though it might bring up some problems later, it wasn’t a big deal.

As the helicopter departed, Lu Xizhou turned around to see a ghostly figure behind him. She leaned against the wall at the entrance to the rooftop, her eyes glinting with an enchanting light, her beauty and charm flowing with each look, and her long hair, reaching down to her waist, spread out behind her, her red lips glistening.

The smile on Lu Xizhou’s face immediately fell, "Si Yao isn’t here."

This woman, who nearly cost Si Yao his life, did she think as long as Si Yao was around, nobody here could touch her?

Jiu Qiu’s gaze followed the distant helicopter, a trace of an indescribable emotion flickering in her eyes. Lu Xizhou stood guard, "Jiu Qiu, whatever you’re thinking about, any plans involving Xiaoqi, you can just forget about it."

Jiu Qiu’s lips curved, her presence bewitching. With every step, she trod dangerously close to Lu Xizhou’s boundaries, unsettling him. Her lips slightly upturned, she stood in front of Lu Xizhou, her stature not towering but not short either.

Standing in front of the 186 cm tall Lu Xizhou, she only had to tilt her head slightly to meet his eyes.

Lu Xizhou admitted that this woman’s aura matched Si Yao’s well, but hurting Si Yao was still hurting Si Yao, and that couldn’t be negated.

Moreover, Lu Xizhou really didn’t like this woman’s forcefulness, always acting like an outsider.

Lu Xizhou didn’t want to entangle with her, and intended to pass by her and move forward, but Jiu Qiu suddenly laughed, "Lu Xizhou, do you think I won’t kill you?"

Lu Xizhou laughed sarcastically, "You? Not kill someone? Did I hear that right? Besides, you say you want to kill me, but can you?"

Jiu Qiu, "Shall we give it a try?"

"I don’t have the time to waste here with you. If you like joking around, go ahead, but leave me out of it. Also, don’t show up on my rooftop again, it’s really unbecoming."

Lu Xizhou deliberately bumped hard against Jiu Qiu’s shoulder as he left.

Jiu Qiu was unperturbed by Lu Xizhou’s hostility, a sly smile playing on her lips, her charm irresistibly alluring.

Si Yao.

...

Ao Chen stared at the music soundtrack that Huo Qi had rejected for the nth time, fury surging within him. As he looked at the email on the computer, he couldn’t hold back and dialed Huo Qi’s number, "Why do you keep rejecting my submissions without even listening? What makes you think they’re not suitable?"

Huo Qi laughed briefly on the other end, "I said it’s not okay, then it’s not okay. Whether I’ve listened to it or not, it’s irrelevant. I don’t want to listen; that means it’s not okay."

"You... that’s ridiculous, you’re wasting my musical talent."

What Ao Chen wanted to say was, how dare you, a layman, challenge me, a professional? Who gave you the audacity?

But remembering he needed to be conciliatory, he naturally didn’t dare to express these thoughts. He could only beat around the bush, expressing his dissatisfaction with words that weren’t outright offensive to Huo Qi.

Huo Qi needed only a moment to grasp Ao Chen’s implication; that damned Ao Chen was definitely cursing him inside.
