The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 941 - 23: So This Is What Heβs Like When He Likes Someone
As Li Siru ran, the lights in the corridor lit up one by one, creating a beautiful scene that made Lu Beiyao glance several times. π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
"Sisi is still like this, so impetuous!" Li Mengru smiled.
Lu Beiyao then withdrew his gaze and glanced at the watch on his left wrist, "Itβs twelve oβclock, you should rest too!"
He walked toward his room, and Li Mengru happened to walk along the same path with him, neither of them speaking.
After a while, Li Mengru asked, "You get along well with Sisi?"
She always felt that Lu Beiyao, like her, had a calm demeanor, seemingly uninterested in anything and never really close to anyone.
They had known each other for so many years, and she had never seen Lu Beiyao so friendly with anyone, yet he was just tangled up with her own sister.
He grabbed her by the back of the collar, and she leaned against him, covering his mouth.
Li Mengru glanced at his hand; they hadnβt even held hands.
He seemed to always carry a cold aura that kept people at a distance.
But...
"Your sister is completely different from you, indeed rash and lively like a little lobster!" Lu Beiyaoβs tone remained utterly calm, as if everything was as usual, casually echoing her words.
Li Mengru stopped and asked, "Sisi went out with you and came back with you, right?"
"Sort of!" Lu Beiyao turned his head to look at her, "I ran into her on the way out! To be honest, I was surprised your sister went to work at a bar, so I took her to YT International as they needed an extra hand in the first-floor restaurant."
Li Mengru looked up at him, "Sisi is working in a bar?" No wonder she sneaked out every night; she only heard from her mother that Sisi refused to use the familyβs credit card, but she didnβt expect her to earn money this way, "If Grandpa finds out, thereβll definitely be trouble."
"Thatβs why I took her to YT. I can tell you always wanted to help your sister. If sheβs working at YT, your grandpa naturally wouldnβt say anything, right?"
"Are you helping her on my behalf?" Li Mengru asked and then took a deep breath, "Thanks, Iβll head back to my room to rest!"
She turned and left as if not wanting to hear his answer.
Lu Beiyao watched her hurried departure without stopping her, turning directly to his room.
Li Mengru leaned against the door once she returned to her room; the room was pitch black, and her heart sank bit by bit.
In the past, whenever she mentioned anyone to Lu Beiyao, he would always just listen quietly or casually respond, never bringing up or talking about anyone, as if nobody mattered to him.
Yet, he would imitate and subtly criticize Sisi, going along with her words to mock her!
A lively little lobster?!
Indeed, she envied her sister for daring to talk back to Grandpa and quarrel with their mother...
"Mengru, are you really going to get engaged to Lu Beiyao?"
"I feel like thereβs no real affection between you two?"
"Iβm a man, I understand men, Lu Beiyaoβs feelings for Sisi arenβt simple!"
...
Zhou Juβanβs words lingered in her mind.
Women have a sixth sense; from Lu Beiyao accepting the juice handed by Li Siru, to unexpectedly criticizing her like a fool, to repeatedly helping her...
These were things Lu Beiyao would never have done before!
Even when she accidentally broke his phone, causing him to lose all his contacts, Lu Beiyao merely frowned slightly and sought a solution.
She always thought it was Lu Beiyaoβs good temperament, no temper.
But, with such trivial matters as card games...
It turned out, he simply found speaking with others unnecessary!
It turned out, he wasnβt without emotions!
It turned out, the person she liked, liked someone in this way!
