Chapter 40 Familiar Breath

Xiaowen chewed hard, staring at the uninvited guest with her big eyes wide open.

Luo Pingcheng made a face at him, ignored him, and continued eating while humming a tune.

Xiaowen turned his angry eyes to "Chi Tiansheng", clearly asking questions: Why did you invite this person into the family?

"I'm full, take your time."

I had no appetite at all that night. Not only was I worried about my stay in Luoping City, but I was also nervous because of Xiaowen's stare.

"Old Xu, please work harder and keep an eye on him. People are guests, so we should treat them well." Before going upstairs to his room, Ye stopped beside Old Xu and gave him some more instructions.

Although the housekeeper Lao Xu was reluctant, he still agreed.

"Master, don't worry. I will send Xiao Wen away and take good care of the Third Young Master of the Luo Family."

Old Xu was a thoughtful person. He knew what Chi Tiansheng was worried about, and he could also see the fire between Xiaowen and Luo Pingcheng that was about to break out.

Xiao Wen has no good feelings towards the young masters of the Luo family because his friend is Bai He, and these young masters are Bai He's masters.

They deprived Baihe of his life and happiness, and even did not allow Baihe to be friends with them. This was a thorn in Xiaowen's heart.

As long as Baihe is in the Luo family, he is under the Luo family's control, and Xiaowen and the Luo family are irreconcilable.

Xiaowen believes that the young master is on the same side as him, and both should hate the young masters of the Luo family.

However, the young master disappointed him again and made him confused.

The last time, it was the young master who deliberately got rid of himself and went to the appointment alone, fell into the trap set by Luo Pingfeng, and almost lost his life.

This time, the young master suddenly took Luo Pingcheng into the back seat of the car, brought him directly home, and had dinner with him at the same table.

The food that used to be delicious was now contaminated by the stench of Luoping City and became inedible.

"Xiao Wen, go to the bosses' homes and take a look at the situation." After dinner, Lao Xu gave Xiao Wen an important task.

Something must have happened to the several shareholders who were absent from the meeting. I couldn't contact them during the day, so I had to visit their homes in person.

Xiao Wen, who is agile and can beat ten people at once, is the most qualified for this job.

"Old Xu, something's wrong. I suddenly have a bad feeling! Could this Luo Pingcheng be in cahoots with Luo Pingfeng?"

Xiaowen felt that he was so smart for the first time in his life that he actually saw through the tricks of Luo Pingcheng and Luo Pingfeng. Even Lao Xu couldn't see through it!

Even with his suspicions, Lao Xu was still confused: "What do you mean?"

"Oh my! Old Xu, are you getting senile? I saw through your tricks, why didn't you see through them?"

Xiaowen was afraid that the thief in the house would eavesdrop, so he leaned close to Lao Xu's ear and whispered in a low voice.

Xiaowen believes that Luo Pingcheng was not sincere in raising funds from the beginning. He used some money to get into the South Bank project as a shareholder and took the opportunity to sneak into the Chi family's inner residence.

On the other hand, Luo Pingfeng used tricks to deal with several financing shareholders, making the young master more dependent on and trusting of Luo Pingcheng.

Isn’t this the commonly used tactic of “making a feint to the east and attacking in the west”?

Xiao Wen was confident in his reasoning and reminded Lao Xu, "Look, you and the young master have both fallen into their trap. You asked me to go and find out about the safety of the shareholders. If I leave this house, who will protect you and the young master?"

Luo Pingcheng will definitely tip off the situation, and Luo Pingfeng will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Both the young master and Lao Xu will be in danger of their lives!

"Wow, Xiaowen, you could actually consider becoming a novelist and write some conspiracy suspense."

Old Xu smiled kindly, patted Xiaowen on the shoulder, and encouraged him to give up martial arts and pursue literature.

Xiao Wen was so angry that he stamped his feet, his face flushed. "You, you just don't believe in my intelligence, damn it! Do whatever you want, you'll be sold out by Luo Pingcheng and attacked by Luo Pingfeng at night, but you can't cry out to the sky or hear me!"

Xiaowen was extremely reluctant, but was still pushed out by Lao Xu.

There were several bodyguards guarding the door. Xiao Wen gave them some worried instructions before getting into the car and leaving.

Luo Pingcheng tossed and turned on the big bed. He knew that he was not used to sleeping in the same bed, but he still followed Chi Tiansheng home.

Anyway, I won’t be able to sleep if I go home tonight.

Luo Pingcheng grabbed his phone and the screen lit up. He wanted to check what time it was in the early morning, but he found that his second brother had already made more than forty calls.

Baihe didn't call, but sent dozens of messages.

From doubts, inquiries, and temptations to exhortations and reminders.

After Lian Yen was away, Bai He, as the only one between Luo Pingcheng and Luo Pingfeng, had a hard time.

Luo Pingcheng smiled, put the phone screen down, and breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, I turned it to silent mode early in the morning.

Luo Pingcheng didn't turn off his phone either. Luo Pingfeng had his own way to locate and track him. Sooner or later, he would find out that he was at Chi Tiansheng's house. He would probably be furious.

Making his second brother lose face and imagining his face turning pale and green with anger, Luo Pingcheng felt inexplicably relieved.

Over the years, the second brother has had the final say on all matters big and small in the Luo family.

Even the eldest brother’s choice of a romantic partner is interfered with and broken up by his second brother.

The second brother also drove his eldest brother, who loved him the most, out of the country. For two years, he did not allow his eldest brother to come back.

And there is life overnight.

I clearly begged my second brother to let Lian Ye live.

The second brother was still stubborn and insisted on taking Lian Ye away from him.

Luo Pingcheng raised his head and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"What kind of taste does Chi Tiansheng have? The chandelier in the bedroom is so dazzling that it makes me unable to sleep well. It hurts my eyes." His eyes turned red and he was about to cry in pain.

Luo Pingcheng jumped up from the bed and looked out the door with a wicked smile.

I, the distinguished guest, cannot sleep well. Chi Tiansheng has failed to fulfill his duties as a good host and is not worthy of a good sleep.

Luo Pingcheng swaggered towards Chi Tiansheng's bedroom and went in without knocking.

A bodyguard appeared out of nowhere and whispered, "Third Young Master of the Luo Family, it's late at night, and our young master is fast asleep. Please go back to your room and rest. Don't disturb each other."

Butler Lao Xu repeatedly reminded him that the guest was a guest, and the other party was the third young master of the Luo family, so he should not be provoked and should be treated politely and with caution.

The bodyguard remembered Lao Xu's instructions and also did not forget Xiaowen's instructions before leaving.

Luo Pingcheng sneered and murmured softly, "Disturbing each other? Ha, I just like disturbing others, what's wrong with that?"

Luo Pingcheng pushed the bodyguard aside and barged in. "Boss Chi, I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep. The bed in your guest room is so uncomfortable."

Luo Pingcheng was lying in the guest room not far away, breathing the same home air as me. How could I fall asleep easily that night?

Fortunately, he was not asleep, otherwise he would have been scared to death by the sudden noise.

I slowly sat up in the middle of the night, rubbed my eyes, and pretended to be awakened from my sleep.

"Third Young Master of the Luo Family? Am I having a nightmare? Why are you coming to me instead of taking a good rest in the guest room?"

Lian Ye pretended to be calm, forced a smile, and waved his hand to let the bodyguards leave first.

"Pretend to sleep? Mr. Chi doesn't even dare to sleep, right?"

Luo Pingcheng laughed while lying on the bed, looking up at the sitting "Chi Tiansheng".

"That idiot in tracksuits from your family knows this, how could you not have thought of it? My second brother and I are in cahoots. We're working together from the inside and outside. My financing of the South Bank project was a pretense. I actually wanted to infiltrate the Chi family, get rid of you, and fulfill my second brother's wish."

Luo Pingcheng stared at "Chi Tiansheng" with murderous eyes.

If Lian Ye didn't know Luoping City better than anyone else, he would have believed his threats.

"Haha, Third Young Master Luo thought I was afraid of your assassination in the middle of the night and was too scared to sleep? That's not the case. I really couldn't sleep well tonight because I was worried about those shareholders."

Even at night, half of his body was still covered under the quilt, but the quilt was pressed down by Luo Pingcheng's entire body and could not be pulled away.

She subconsciously moved quietly towards the bed that night, not wanting to stay in the same bed with Luo Pingcheng, as it would remind him of those terrible things.

He was kicked down on the bed, and the ashtray in Luo Pingcheng's hand fell down. He had nowhere to hide and could only lie on the bed and watch the white sheets being stained red by his blood.

Her thoughts were seized by the past overnight, and before she could calm down, Luo Pingcheng held her and laid her down.

"Since we both have insomnia, it's perfect for you to keep each other company and chat. Who knows, maybe you'll fall asleep?"

Luo Pingcheng hugged "Chi Tiansheng" tightly, not knowing that the person with jumping thoughts inside this body was Lian Ye.

Lian Ye knew that trying to break free too forcefully would only make Luo Pingcheng more curious and persistent.

Luo Pingcheng is just that kind of person. The more he is rejected and the more he cannot get what he wants, the more paranoid he becomes.

"Okay, the Third Young Master of the Luo Family doesn't mind my hard body. I'll hold you and let you sleep like this."

I tried to deal with it with my "Chi Tiansheng" personality all night.

That’s right, Chi Tiansheng, who likes to play around and take things as they come, would definitely respond to Luo Pingcheng in this way.

Luo Pingcheng frowned at the sudden honest "Chi Tiansheng" and let him go.

Luo Pingcheng looked at the people around him steadily, then suddenly moved closer to Chi Tiansheng's shoulders and cheeks, sniffing around like a puppy.

"Strange, why do you have such a smell?"

Luo Pingcheng didn't seem to be asking "Chi Tiansheng". He knew very well that how could "Chi Tiansheng" answer such a ridiculous question?

Chi Tiansheng actually exuded the aura of Lian Ye.

Just when he hugged Chi Tiansheng, Luo Pingcheng clearly felt a familiar sense of security and the unique smell of the night.

Luo Pingcheng slowly closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time he felt so relaxed after being away all night.

Being beside Chi Tiansheng, surrounded by this familiar atmosphere, it seemed that I could finally have a good sleep.

Lian Ye was about to push Luo Pingcheng away, but when he turned his head, he saw that the man was actually asleep, breathing evenly.

Even with a new body and a completely different identity, why can't she escape her fate? Why is she still entangled with Luo Pingcheng?

Staring at the ceiling all night, for the first time since becoming "Chi Tiansheng", he felt the familiar worries and despair.

When I was with Shi Mingguang, my heart was filled with new hope and the prospect of a happy future.

However, once entangled by Luo Pingcheng again, it was as if being entangled by those vines and pulled into the endless dark abyss.
