It was next morning, I had just woken up when he walked in with tray of food.
"Breakfast in bed for our lovely princess." he said, walking in with a smile. Oh, hell no—I wasn't going to buy that crap.
Did he think a breakfast in bed is enough to coax me into forgiving? That was never happening or was it? I didn't give in, I pouted and kept my hands crossed to show him it is not, but one move from him broke down my firewalls. I was looking aside, pouting when he leaned in and kissed my forehead. Heat rushed to my face, my cheeks and ears tinged crimson.
tian a! Is this what it means to be innocent? I can't even handle a small kiss on my forehead. No ways, I have to be strong. I can't let him win that easily.
I was lost in my thoughts when my phone suddenly rang:
🎶I can't understand what people are sayin'…🎶
I snapped out of and picked it up to check who was calling. The moment I saw it was Zha Zha, I picked up cause I knew she had update on Laoxin's background investigation. "What did you find out?" I asked, hoping Lao Zhan's suspicions were wrong otherwise, Lu Lu will be heartbroken when she finds out.
"There is nothing suspicious about his background. Everything indicates that he is an ordinary person," she said, her voice firm as always.
I breathed a sign of relief as I hanged up and turned to look at Lao Zhan who was also listening to Zha Zha.
"See told you he is clean," I said, with an expression that was telling him he was wrong or was he.
He didn't say anything to avoid unnecessary argument. He knew very well that there was no way he was clean, but kept quiet to confuse the enemy. Laoxin knew very well we were going to do a background check on him, so he had his little brother, Wen Zhuo create a fake info to prevent his hard-work for being for vain. But one thing he didn't take in mind is that even though Lan Zhan trusted Wen Zhuo, he didn't trust him a 100%. After what happened with the warehouse, he has been keeping an eye on everyone, more especially him. He started his own investigation on Laoxin the moment he walked in, but kept everyone in the dark. The best way to defeat the enemy, is to reveal your cards to them and make them think they have the upper hand.
And when they think they have won, bring them down with a single strike. That is how his boss, Lady D has always done it, not the love brain Ling Zhao he was dating. I wanted to go to a mall to buy a birthday present for Lu Lu, and Lao Zhan insisted on going with me. When I asked him the reason he said he found it romantic but the real reason behind it was because he felt that I might be in danger.
The sun now stood overhead, its rays scorching the city. We had just returned from the mall, playing lovey dovey as we entered the house. Lao Zhan picked me up and carried me to his room, only to find an uninvited guest waiting for him in his room. It was Lan Xichen, his ex-boyfriend. He was laying on his bed in a sexy outfit, busy touching himself all over as if an omega in heat. I stood there, my eyes widen with shock as I tried to process the whole thing. Lan Zhan who was shocked came to his sense as he remembered that I was also in the room. He rushed to cover my eyes with his hands and told him to get dressed as he carried me out of the room.
"Awww! Lao Zhan, put me down. I'm still watching. It is not always that you come across a live scene. Lao Zhan!"
I shouted as he carried me out of the room to the living room.
"Who was that omega in heat? Is he your friend?" I asked, my brows lifted, a question written across her wide-eyed gaze.
