I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 23 I will wai

Luo Xiaolei had just stepped out of the elevator when her phone vibrated. She looked at it as she walked and as soon as she read the message she received, she halted. She blinked three times before her eyes slowly widened.

H-h-he’s here?! Already?! No way!

Luo Xiaolei was shocked because it was just so unbelievable for her. She thought that this Yu Chen might be playing a prank on her so she calmed down. Well, she sent the message just a few minutes ago so how could he be here already? He couldn’t possibly reach this place in such a short time!

She tried to reason it out to herself and tried not to panic but in the end Luo Xiaolei still ran and hastily entered her apartment. Luckily, her room was located where she could see the entrance to the building, so she immediately ran towards the window and took a peek.

"Devil, if you’re actually lying and just playing a prank on me, I..." Luo Xiaolei murmured to herself as she looked down when she suddenly gasped. She quickly backed off, her hand over her mouth before she slowly peeked again.

She could see a few black cars parked by the entrance and a familiar figure was leaning on one of those black cars.

"W-w-what? He’s really here?! How did he come so fast?! Did he fly or something?!" Luo Xiaolei exclaimed. She even started imagining a chibi version of Yu Chen with black wings and two horns, grinning at her as he mischievously flew above her.

Luo Xiaolei shook her head, as she tried to make the flying Yu Chens disappear from her head. She bit her lip as she began to panic. She didn’t know how he suddenly arrived but she could only conclude that he might have been close when she sent him her message. Well, that was the only logical reason she could think of.

"Ugh! What to do? I still need to get changed and it’s still too early!" Luo Xiaolei actually planned to fetch him and bring him to Emerald Tower at dusk. The infamous tower was owned by her grandfather so she called the old man to reserve the city’s most romantic dinner spot for them.

But now that Yu Chen was already here, it seemed like the perfect flow of her plan was disrupted. Furthermore, she couldn’t possibly make this almighty Yu Chen to wait for her for too long. She couldn’t afford to do anything that could displease him or everything might fall apart.

After a quick brainstorming session, Luo Xiaolei decided to call him. She was still by the window and she could now see the man staring at his phone.

Err... why was he not answering? Did he not want to take my call?!

As the phone continued ringing, Luo Xiaolei’s brows began to knot. The call was about to end so she moved the phone away from her ear. She was frowning hard as she looked at her phone to dial it again but to her surprise, the call was already connected? Did he purposely wait until the very last second before accepting my call?! What’s with this devil?

"Hello? Mr. Yu?"

"Yes."

"Uhm... I am very surprised that you’re already here. Actually, I just arrived and I still need time to get ready."

"It’s okay, I will wait."

Upon hearing his response, Luo Xiaolei was flattered. Was he really willing to wait? This almighty Yu Chen was willing to wait for me outside?!

No matter how much Luo Xiaolei thought about it, it was really hard for her to believe. Yu Chen was a very important figure. His fame was on par with the most famous celebrity in the country and he was feared more than any public and private figure. So how could someone like him wait outside an average building for her? Moreover, he would also be putting himself at risk, right?

Luo Xiaolei was beginning to feel a headache coming on. Rumor had it that this Yu Chen could control the media and Luo Xiaolei believed that that was true because there had never been an article that talked about him or a scandal published about him. But with him standing in such public place like this in broad daylight, there was just no way he could stop every person who saw him from taking photos of him, right?

As she thought about it, Luo Xiaolei started to feel uneasy. She couldn’t understand why Yu Chen decided to come. He had his bodyguards with him but even she could see that it was still very risky for someone like him to stay there for long.

"Uhm... I’m very thankful but would you be okay to stay there. I mean I might take a little while to get ready." Luo Xiaolei then started to reason out. Well, what she was saying was the truth. This day was quite hectic for her and she was sweaty because of the long commute. She also needed to make herself presentable so she really needed enough time and she couldn’t possibly be relaxed, knowing he was waiting outside.

"So, how about you go back first and I’ll be the one fetch you later? Or let’s just meet at the venue after an hour?" she continued but when the man on the other side didn’t say a word, Luo Xiaolei’s heart began to flutter. "Or, you could... just come over?"

Due to the pressure, Luo Xiaolei could only ask him over. Of course, she obviously didn’t mean it. She was just saying it so she won’t sound like she was driving him away. She was supposed to ask him to go back inside the car and wait inside for an hour but she couldn’t possibly say that right?

"Okay," Finally, the man responded and Luo Xiaolei sighed in great relief. It looked like this Yu Chen at least understood what she was trying to say.

"Are you going back to your office?" Xiaolei asked so she would know where to fetch him later. But the next words he said stunned her without warning.

"No."

"...?!"

"I’ll come over."

"...?!!!!!"
