Chapter 93 The Fallen White Moonlight Returns Home 7
[Protagonist's pain level increased by 0.8, current pain level is 99.9. Keep up the good work, host!]
“They must have treated you badly,” Lu Baichi said calmly, without seeming angered or showing any pain or resentment at being betrayed by his first love abroad.
Xie Rong's expression was strange: "Why?"
Because if Xie Rong is doing well, and those men abroad are good enough, then Xie Rong should, as before, openly flaunt her happiness.
It's impossible that he's visited countless countries over the years without any news of Xie Rong, let alone being able to find him.
Back in China, she sat pitifully at the bus stop waiting for him to pick her up, which was enough to prove that none of the other men were as good as him.
Perhaps he's not even as clean as her.
Lu Baichi remained impassive. "Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Are you trying to whet my appetite?" Xie Rong sneered.
“Xie Rong, I thought that as your boyfriend, I would be magnanimous and considerate to let bygones be bygones regarding your affairs with other men abroad,” Lu Baichi said.
Xie Rong lowered his head and fiddled with his fingertips, then snorted softly, "Fine, I'll go back by myself."
Xie Rong got up and had already reached the office door when he remembered something, so he turned back and patted Lu Baichi's head. "I'll wait for you to come back."
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his dark eyes watched the person leave the office.
On the way back to the apartment, my assistant drove.
"Thank you... Mr. Xie, is this air conditioning temperature alright?"
"Hmm." Xie Rong was looking down at something on her phone and gave a perfunctory reply.
The assistant, who had just entered the workforce, blushed. Every time he glanced at the right rearview mirror, he would first catch a glimpse of the person in the passenger seat.
It smells so good, and it looks so beautiful.
The whole car smelled wonderful and was glowing.
The assistant was a little dizzy and felt like he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
The black phantom suddenly trembled, and he slammed on the brakes.
Xie Rong turned her head with a cold face, grabbed an ornament that had fallen on her lap, and threw it at her assistant's head. "If you can't drive, get out of there and let Lu Baichi drive himself."
"I...I'm sorry!" the assistant stammered.
Xie Rong glared at him, then turned back to look at her phone.
He searched on his browser: how to make an annoying boyfriend suffer.
The most upvoted answer: Catch him in the act and trample on his dignity as a man.
Xie Rong secretly made a note of it, then opened the social media app and browsed through it, finally seeing the string of friend requests.
He randomly sent the apartment address to one of the random numbers and then turned off his phone.
The assistant parked the car in the parking lot, followed him to the apartment door, and opened the door for him.
After the door closed, the assistant took out his phone and sent a message to report: "Mr. Lu, he has arrived home."
Three minutes after the assistant left, there was another knock on the apartment door.
Xie Rong opened the door.
The man standing outside the door was tall and had a refined appearance. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and seemed to have arrived in a hurry, not even having had time to change out of his white coat.
"Xie Rong," the man called softly, catching his breath, "It really is you. You called me here..."
"Come in first," Xie Rong smiled at him, but stopped abruptly as he was about to speak.
What was this person's name again?
[Ahem, it's time for this system's科普 (popular science) segment.] The system straightened its non-existent tie. [His name is Shen Kaiji, your classmate behind you in high school, now the most famous surgeon in Kyoto.]
The protagonist's company is researching a new project called intelligent biochips, and they will invite him to collaborate later, so he is also part of the protagonist's group.
[Host, don't be fooled by how quickly you summoned him. He's just still clinging to a memory of his beloved. Once you reveal your true colors and try to use him to steal classified documents, he'll expose you!]
Xie Rong didn't really remember it, but he didn't care much either.
He stepped forward, grabbed the man's tie inside his white coat, and led him upstairs like a dog leash.
“Xie Rong…” Shen Kaiji stared blankly at his back, letting him lead her away, “Is this your new home?”
Everyone knows what happened to the Xie family back then, but at that time he was just a young boy and couldn't do anything to help the Xie family.
Before the incident, Xie Rong had been sent abroad by his father.
Later, Xie's father was ambushed by the victim's family and stabbed in the waist and abdomen. Lying in the hospital bed, fearing that the Xie family's enemies would come looking for him, he never revealed where Xie Rong had gone until his death.
That old man, who wasn't exactly a saint in the business world, had an only son late in life, and he risked everything to protect Xie Rong.
“This is my boyfriend’s home,” Xie Rong said frankly.
"Your boyfriend is...?" Shen Kaiji's eyes suddenly darkened behind his glasses.
“Lu Baichi,” Xie Rong turned around, her eyes crinkling, “Don’t be afraid, he’s at the company, he won’t be coming back.”
"Your boyfriend is at the company. What do you want by calling me here?" Shen Kaiji asked in a hoarse voice, "To be a mistress?"
"Why are you so talkative?" Xie Rong pushed open the door, kicked off his slippers, sat on the bed, took out his phone, and said impatiently, "Then leave, I'll find someone else."
Xie Rong opened her social media app and simply approved all the applications.
According to what's said online, catching someone cheating would cause Lu Baichi great pain.
Wouldn't it be even more painful to catch ten or a hundred people in adultery?
[Host, this is so embarrassing,] the system awkwardly reminded him, [The mission is to let the protagonist know that you stole company secrets.]
"That's too much trouble," Xie Rong said coldly, flicking a strand of hair behind his ear and sending the URL to a group chat with one click. "I'm going to the next world to be the crown prince, and I'm going today."
After sending the message, Xie Rong glanced at the man and said, "You can leave now."
Shen Kaiji stood frozen in place.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Xie Rong kicked his shin.
“Xie Rong,” Shen Kaiji squatted down and looked up at him, “Don’t belittle yourself like this. I can wait for you to break up with him.”
Xie Rong didn't quite understand what he meant and blinked.
These despicable men actually told him not to belittle himself.
They are clearly the most despicable.
He only does things that make him happy.
Xie Rong reached out and hooked his glasses off.
Everything around was blurry, except for Xie Rong's striking red lips.
“Lu Baichi is free this afternoon, he’ll be back in two hours, don’t ruin my good time,” Xie Rong said, playing with his glasses and giving the man’s unfocused eyes a malicious look. “I knew I shouldn’t have called you, you can’t even see clearly. Do you know how to cheat on Lu Baichi?”
"..." Shen Kaiji raised his eyes, vaguely tracing his delicate features, and said gently, "I'm going to take a shower."
Ten minutes later, Xie Rong lay on the bed, getting impatient again.
"Why is he taking so long to take a shower?" Since no one was around, Xie Rong spoke directly to the system.
“Using someone else’s things in someone else’s house will naturally take a little longer,” a calm voice came from the doorway.
Xie Rong turned her head and met Lu Baichi's dark eyes.
[Congratulations, host! The protagonist's pain level has increased by 0.09, currently at 99.99.]
