Chapter 395 Extra: Promise Yourself 3
She had indeed caused him trouble again.
Tao Luyi looked away and lowered her eyes dejectedly.
The next second, the man's arm silently wrapped around her waist, his fingers fell on her waist, pulling her closer to him.
Tao Luyi was forced to stick close to him and took two steps forward with him.
"Hello." Shen Yang no longer looked at her, but greeted his dazed rival. "I'm Shen Yang, this girl's current boyfriend."
Cheng Jie's cheeks flushed with intuition that his little thoughts had been seen through by the man, and his brows furrowed. "Hello, my name is Cheng Jie, and I'm Lu Yi's old... friend."
This man is also a person with superpowers. He is not a good person at first glance. How could Lu Yi know such a person?
"Cheng Jie?" This name sounds very familiar.
Last time, the young man from the Tao family shouted in front of him that Tao Luyi still had feelings for Cheng Jie... Cheng Jie, that’s the man in front of him.
Glancing at Tao Luyi who lowered her head, Shen Yang said with disdain: What kind of vision does this girl have?!
"If Mr. Cheng is not busy, you can come to our house for a cup of tea." Shen Yang made an invitation out of politeness.
Going to his house for tea? He wasn't interested. Cheng Jie had a cold expression on his face, looking very distant and distant, in stark contrast to Shen Yang's frivolous demeanor.
"No thanks, thank you Mr. Shen for your kindness."
He still wanted to say a few words to Tao Luyi, so he was thinking about how to remind Shen Yang to give up his seat tactfully.
"Since you don't want tea..." Shen Yang suppressed his smile and tightened his hand on the girl's waist, "Then we'll take our leave first."
After he finished speaking, he put his arm around Tao Luyi and turned to leave.
"etc!"
"Cheng Jie! So you are here!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, the former with an urgent tone and the latter with a crisp and laughing tone.
Yan Qiaoer, who had been following Cheng Jie all the way, ran out from the corner and pretended to have just seen Tao Luyi. He said in surprise: "Luyi, we meet again, what a coincidence."
She knew that Cheng Jie had come out to look for Tao Luyi, so she followed him over and wanted to stage a "wife catching the mistress" scene, but before she could do anything, Shen Yang suddenly jumped out.
Shen Yang? This name sounded familiar... Had she seen this man somewhere before?
Not noticing Yan Qiaoer's little action, Tao Luyi nodded as a greeting.
She felt that she was unlucky today. Not only did she meet her ex-fiancé, but she also met his current girlfriend twice... She must have not checked the almanac before going out.
Retracting his gaze, Yan Qiaoer took Cheng Jie's arm and, as if declaring his sovereignty, looked at Tao Luyi: "Luyi, you must remember what I told you this morning."
Tao Luyi didn't respond - she didn't plan to go to their engagement party, and she didn't even remember the time and place.
Seeing her resistance, Shen Yang said calmly: "What is this lady talking about - Oh, this girl has a bad memory. If you don't mind, you can tell me, and I will remind her when the time comes."
I can't remember where I've seen Shen Yang before, but from his clothes, I can tell that he's quite capable. Yan Qiaoer smiled even more broadly: "Cheng Jie and I are getting engaged soon, and I want to invite Lu Yi to attend our engagement party."
"Engagement party?" Shen Yang suddenly realized, "Congratulations to both of you."
Thinking he agreed, Yan Qiaoer smiled shyly: "Thank you."
"But..." Shen Yang changed the subject, "Inviting your fiancé's ex-fiancée to attend your engagement party, young lady, I really admire your tolerance and generosity."
Yan Qiaoer's smile froze on his face—this person knew about the relationship between Cheng Jie and Tao Luyi?!
"I'm different from you." The woman choked and said in a mocking tone, "I can't be as open-minded as the sea, so I won't agree to let my girlfriend attend her ex-fiancé's engagement party - thank you for your kindness, Miss."
Yan Qiaoer's mouth twitched: "This gentleman..."
"Also, since you're on good terms with the Tao family, you should know that she was sold by her parents a long time ago." Shen Yang pinched the girl's soft cheek and sighed, "When I found her, this poor little thing had several broken ribs and not a single piece of intact skin on her body. It was so miserable. I don't want her to be involved with those relatives and friends from the past, so..."
After a pause, the man suppressed his cynical smile and said slowly: "Be sensible and stop disturbing her life."
…
Following Shen Yang back, Tao Luyi was still in a trance.
She didn't expect him to care about such trivial matters, and she didn't expect him to reject Yan Qiaoer's invitation on her behalf.
She thought... he was angry with her.
Tao Luyi carefully looked at Shen Yang's expression, trying to judge from the man's expressionless face whether he would beat her if she apologized now.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Yang licked the wound on his lip and said angrily, "Tao Luyi, if you had the courage to kiss me and deal with those two idiots, you wouldn't be bullied to your doorstep."
When it comes to forced kisses, Tao Luyi's face turns red instantly.
She played dumb and didn't answer.
Shen Yang stared at her for a moment, slowed down his voice, and spoke again: "Tao Luyi, look up and look at me."
The girl looked up reflexively.
It's just like a student hearing the instructor's orders during military training.
Shen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
As soon as Tao Luyi raised her head, her eyes uncontrollably fell on his bitten lip.
She was so stupid that she couldn't even kiss. No wonder he looked down on her...
Tao Luyi was still reflecting on herself when Shen Yang said, "Tao Luyi, I like Jiang Ran, did you know that?"
Tao Luyi nodded: She knows.
"I used to be surrounded by many women, you know that?"
She nodded again.
"I've exploited innocent people and killed innocent people. Saving you was just a spur of the moment decision because I happened to teach a lesson to an idiot who bullied Jiang Ran that day."
“…” Not knowing why he suddenly said this, Tao Luyi stared at him blankly, waiting for his next words.
Her silly expression made him not know what to say next.
He felt that his hint was obvious, but she didn't seem to understand his meaning at all.
Shen Yang took a breath and suppressed the emotions surging in his chest: "Tao Luyi, do you want to sleep with me to repay me for saving your life?"
The girl who was originally about to nod subconsciously changed her action and shook her head vigorously.
Shen Yang changed the question: "Is it because you like me?"
Tao Luyi pursed her lips. This time she didn't shake her head or nod. Instead, she raised her hand and began to gesture: "Yes, I like you, I want to sleep with you, and I want to be with you forever."
She did not give a perfunctory answer and told the man her feelings seriously.
Saving a life is just the beginning of gratitude.
She didn't know when she started to like him. When she came to her senses, her heart had already fallen on him and could never be taken back.
"You like me." Shen Yang repeated, and suddenly smiled, "If so, Tao Luyi, let's try to get along."
"Hmm?" Tao Luyi stared at him blankly.
Try? Was he saying that he wasn't angry with her and was willing to accept her confession and become her boyfriend?
The girl's expression was still dull, but the corners of her mouth had raised a little, and a smile was in her eyes.
The idiot didn’t even know how to hide his emotions—Shen Yang lowered his eyes and sighed, patting the top of the girl’s head as if to comfort her.
