C9 Chapter 9

"No!" Ni Xue didn't think too much into it and immediately reached out to press his phone, "You can't hurt Brother Li."

"You hung up on me?" He narrowed his eyes, revealing an unfriendly expression.

The fact that she was protecting that man annoyed him more than anything.

"I... I just wanted to calm you down. " Only then did she feel that her actions were a bit too overboard, and her tone was a bit hesitant, "Shao Chen, who are you exactly? Why does everyone here listen to you? Mother Shao said that you work in a financial institution, but this is a casino! "

"Don't change the subject. You just hung up on me." he reminded her coldly.

She knew she couldn't fool him! Ni Xue secretly thought, "Not good, I'm sorry!" "I was really worried at the moment, I really didn't do it on purpose …"

"That Brother Li is very important to you?" He raised his eyebrows. His deep eyes were narrowed to a slit. Flames burned in the depths of his pupils.

"We're just in the same band. There were a few other people who came to Las Vegas with us, but they went to another casino because they were all in pairs. I was too embarrassed to disturb them, so I had to go with Brother Li."

"You don't like him?"

She shook her head again, hard this time, as if he had said something terrible. Like Big Brother Li? She had never had such a thought.

"So you like me better, don't you?"

"Ah …?!" Why was his conclusion so strange? Ni Xue was slightly stunned.

Seeing her troubled expression, Shao Chen snorted lightly. He picked up the phone and was about to dial the inside line, but she immediately pressed the back of his hand.

"Of course, of course... Of course I like Shao Chen, Brother Li is not even comparable to your position in my heart! " As long as he didn't call the person called 'Xiao', Ni Xue felt that it was worth it to say something fawning on him.

"Hmph." He snorted again, but the expression on his face was pleasant this time, and in any case he was glad to hear her say the words "like him."

"You look so pale. You must not have eaten yet, right?" He put the phone down and, despite her wishes, took her hand.

"No, Brother Li said he's going to treat me to a meal in the casino when he wins."

Seeing how unguarded her words were, he felt helpless in his heart. She was the most typical person to be kidnapped and sold. She was a fool who knew how to calculate money for others.

"Ignore him, what do you want to eat? I called them to bring it up. "

"But, Big Brother Li, he …"

"I, say it, don't, mind it, he …!" He spoke each word very slowly and clearly, his charming eyes fixed on her. "Let's eat first, and after dinner, I'll get someone to release him."

She knew she could not change his mind. As long as he didn't call that 'Xiao' person, Brother Li shouldn't be troubled, right?

"Mr. Shao, is there a problem?"

At this moment, the restaurant manager's deep voice came from outside the door. Because the internal phone call from this room was suddenly hung up, the situation was too special, so two bodyguards followed behind him. They were the wind, thunder, and earth fire that had been protecting Shao Chen for the past few years, just in case they needed it.

"No problem, I can handle it myself." Shao Chen's gaze never left her pink and tender face. He said to the manager outside the door, "Make the decision for me. I want the most delicious set of dishes to entertain my delicate guests."

Although she couldn't tell what was different in the end, Ni Xue felt that Shao Chen had a bit more of a man's personality now, and he looked sexy and enchanting.

If, in the past, she thought Shao Chen was a boy who loved to tease her and bully her, then the person who appeared in front of her tonight was like Shao Chen who had been enchanted by a fairy and completely transformed into a mature man.

"Open your mouth." Shao Chen forked a piece of fish next to her mouth.

"I can eat by myself, but don't feed me." She didn't look into his dark eyes. She felt like he was treating her like a puppy.

Perhaps she should retract the preface. He hadn't changed at all. He still loved to tease her and treat women older than him like a toy. When he was unhappy, he would bully her and treat her like a little kitten or dog.

However, if he hadn't changed, then why … Her heart ached?
