Chapter 164 Behind
In the bathroom, the drizzle from the shower head wet the man's hair thoroughly. The water droplets flowed down his cold and resolute cheeks, across his sharp Adam's apple, and outlined the contours of his strong chest muscles all the way down. The picture was extremely hot and sexy.
Cheng Yi turned off the water valve, stroked his freshly washed hair, grabbed a bath towel and wiped the water stains on his body, then casually tied the bath towel loosely around his waist.
The mist had not yet dissipated when Cheng Yi opened the bathroom door and walked out slowly, wiping his hair.
He heard a few subtle footsteps and couldn't help but pause his hand that was wiping his hair.
The tapping sound of leather shoes on the stairs was very clear, and as the steps moved, the light sound got closer and closer.
Lu Qian walked down the corridor, constantly thinking about what tools he needed. Maybe a pair of tweezers and pliers? A hammer would be about right.
Although the cooperation negotiations are important, Jiang Luan's mental health is obviously more important. In any case, Dean Sharit will make concessions no matter what. After all, being able to cooperate with Hoffman Hospital is his dream.
When passing by the familiar door, Lu Qian subconsciously glanced at it.
Cheng Yi is probably taking a shower in there.
Lu Qian always felt that after Cheng Yi recovered from his illness, he liked exercising more than before, and his figure was even sexier than before.
Thinking of this, her face turned slightly red, and she quickly covered her face with her hands and shook her head.
When did she become so perverted?
Suddenly, the tightly closed door opened without any warning.
“Hey hey!”
Before Lu Qian could react and the blush on her face hadn't faded away, she was pulled by the arm and fell into the room.
“Bang!”
The door closed with a bang, and the empty corridor seemed as if no one had been there.
"Hmm, well..."
Lu Qian only felt that his whole body had turned half a circle, and his entire back hit the cold wall dully. It didn't hurt but it was a bit unbearable. He groaned softly.
"You're screaming so loudly before I even touch you?"
A familiar low voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Qian raised his head in panic.
What caught my eye was a sexy handsome man who had just stepped out of the bath, with water dripping from his hair and face.
Her heart almost stopped.
Cheng Yi turned his back to the sun, leaning his arms against the wall, holding the petite Lu Qian tightly in his arms, and surveying her from top to bottom with an aggressive look.
Lu Qian felt embarrassed by what he said, and with the spring scenery in front of him, the temperature on his face did not drop at all.
"Where have I been idle..."
She tried to look away, not to look at this extremely tempting body.
Cheng Yi had anticipated Lu Qian's move. He grabbed her jaw with his big hand and forced her to lift her face up so that she could look directly at him, leaving her nowhere to hide.
"Call twice more and let's hear it."
Lu Qian was embarrassed by his words. She bit her lower lip tightly and raised her hand to push Cheng Yi's chest hard.
"You! You hooligan!"
Cheng Yi also felt like an old rogue now.
But the clothes Lu Qian wore today were really to his liking. Lu Qian's figure and appearance were already very attractive, but she was just too plain and casual on weekdays.
He had never seen Lu Qian wear such exquisite and capable clothes.
The black dress made her skin look even whiter. The delicate and close-fitting cut, coupled with Lu Qian's natural and clean temperament, made her sexy without realizing it, which was enough to make his blood vessels burst.
Cheng Yi bent down, approached Lu Qian, and said half-threateningly: "I won't let you go unless you call me."
"Please stop making trouble," Lu Qian said anxiously and embarrassedly, her eyes reddening. "Jiang Luan is still waiting for me."
When Cheng Yi heard Lu Qian's excuse, he not only did not let go, but tightened his hand on her chin. His golden-brown eyes narrowed dangerously, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Are you trying to make me angry by mentioning other men at this time?"
“…” The beauty was speechless.
Wow, how come this man is jealous of Jiang Luan now?
And when was that? They didn't do anything, okay?
"No!" Lu Qian hurriedly pushed Cheng Yi's hand away and explained, "Jiang Luan's little box broke for some reason, and he asked me to fix it for him."
"I thought I'd fix it for him as soon as possible, and then go with him to see Dean Sharit to save him from being upset."
When Cheng Yi heard Lu Qian's words, he calmed down a little, but his face was still as cold as usual, and he looked angry.
Seeing that Cheng Yi had no intention of letting her go, Lu Qian made up her mind, put her hands on his hot shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to kiss the corner of his cold lips.
"Please don't be angry," Lu Qian begged softly, "Jiang Luan is very sad, and he won't repair it for others, so I have to go."
Angry? Of course he wasn't angry, but he just liked to see Lu Qian hurriedly trying to coax him.
The softer and smoother she was, the more comfortable Cheng Yi felt.
It was especially refreshing to see her being decisive and decisive in front of others, in contrast to her submissive appearance in front of him.
This guy is a bit of a psychopath.
Cheng Yi suppressed the urge to curl up the corners of his lips and nodded indifferently, seemingly very reluctantly.
"Then how do you compensate me?"
"..." Lu Qian pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "Wait for me to come back tonight."
Cheng Yi got the answer he wanted most, and then he slowly released the arms that were restraining Lu Qian, casually placed them on the edge of the bath towel, and lazily lifted his hair.
"That's more like it."
When Lu Qian heard Cheng Yi agree, he quickly stood up and ran towards the door while talking.
"Then I'm off! See you tonight!"
If I were a second late, I wouldn’t know what expression this man would have.
Looking at the cute figure running away in a hurry, Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
Cheng Yi didn't look away until he could no longer hear the sound of leather shoes in the corridor.
He walked leisurely to the table, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed a number at random.
“Beep—beep—”
"Master Cheng, what are your instructions?"
A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cheng Yi smiled helplessly, "Delilah, are you waiting here to make fun of me?"
"Hey, your power is second to none in Central Europe now. I must bow to you. Is it not too much to respectfully address you as Master Cheng?"
Delilah didn't give Cheng Yi time to respond and continued to ask, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Cheng Yi retracted his joking tone and spoke seriously: "It's about the Charité Research Institute."
Delilah controls almost all the well-known family businesses in the German pharmaceutical industry. It is precisely because of this that she, a woman, can stay at the top in the aristocratic struggle.
In a family at the pinnacle of power, even a father and daughter have to act independently.
So Delilah wouldn't pass up the opportunity to bypass Davy and curry favor with Tavia.
"Don't worry, the Charité Institute will no longer provide any assistance to the Baiqing Society," Delilah said, dropping her teasing tone. "After all, I believe no one in Germany would refuse the opportunity to cooperate with Hoffmann Hospital."
Cheng Yi chuckled with satisfaction: "Oh, talking to smart people is just easier."
Delilah didn't buy Cheng Yi's tricks at all and said righteously, "Stop flattering me. We agreed to give you 8% of the profit. Don't try to cheat me."
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows helplessly. Delilah was indeed smart. She originally thought she could evade the ticket.
"I'll make it up to you behind the contract."
"readily."
There was no further response from the other end of the phone, and the call was simply hung up.
