Chapter 532: Rong Yan’s Deep Feelings
After reading the email, Chu Li frowned lightly. Ye Wei and Eleven had been taking cases mostly on their own, and there were few people who knew the way to contact them. ‘Where did they get the information?’ Chu Li’s attempts to get information about the other party failed and his gaze darkened.
“Yan Yan, are you done applying the ointment?”
“Wait a minute.” Rong Yan answered and put a shirt on the young kid. Then, he attempted to get the information himself. Soon enough, he smiled. “Time for drama. It’s from the Italian government.”
“Eh? Are they having an internal power struggle?” Chu Li was interested. He put his hand on his chin. ‘We can take this case secretly. But the question is, who can do it?’ He thought. “They finally can’t take the Mo brothers anymore huh!”
“I’m afraid they think that the Mafia only has one person in charge. They only asked to kill Mo Ye. Didn’t mention Mo Jue.” The young kid laughed. “How? Should we take the case?”
“What does their power struggle have to do with us?” It was alright for them to take the case, but there was nobody that was skilled enough to take on Mo Ye and Mo Jue. Ye Wei and Eleven could barely take them on. They might not even defeat them if the Mo brothers decide to attack aggressively. Whoever is sent over would probably die.
A sinister smile appeared on the young kid’s face, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “We don’t really have to kill if we take the case. 500 million pounds, why not?”
Rong Yan chuckled. “Ah Li, Jason had been fighting for territory with the Mafia recently and we have lost a lot of money. Why not let Jason vent using the 500 million pounds? This way, the money can last longer and you wouldn’t have to argue with him everyday.”
“Yes, yes, that’s what I meant.”
“But it’ll ruin Ye Wei and Eleven’s reputation.”
“It doesn’t matter. My aunt didn’t kill my daddy the last time. Right? Sister Rong Yan.”
“I agree.”
“Young brat, call her auntie. Address her properly.” Scheming Chu slapped his head. The young kid hid behind Rong Yan nimbly and made a silly face at him.
“Don’t listen to him. Calling me auntie makes me seem old, Call me Sister Rong Yan.”
“Then you’ll have to call me brother-in-law.”
“Get out of the way.” Rong Yan laughed and scolded. After fooling around, Chu Li accepted the case in the name of Ye Wei and asked the other party to remit the money into a bank account within three days.
Chu Li and Rong Yan went downstairs. Chu Li asked, “Yan Yan, let’s go to Lisa’s birthday party together.”
“So late?”
“The party starts in the middle of the night. Today is considered her birthday. She was at home during the day, so she spent time with us.” Chu Li said with a smile.
“This girl is so unique.” Rong Yan smiled and said, “Okay, but I haven’t prepared a gift yet.”
“What do you want to give to her? I’ll give it to her for you.” Chu Li chuckled. His gaze was full of love. “We’ll leave after you change.”
She nodded, went back to the room, and changed into a blue evening dress. Chu Li’s eyes brightened. The blue evening dress made her look slender, tall and exquisite. Her beautiful shoulders were exposed, and she was looking gorgeous. He was stunned by her beauty.
She was not the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, but she was a girl that was the most worthy of a second look. He had been seeing her face for several years, yet he felt that she was getting prettier by the year.
As an old Chinese saying goes, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’
“Wear that sapphire. It is a great match for today’s dress.”
“This one?” Rong Yan loosened the grip on her fingers, and a valuable sapphire necklace hung in the midair. It was dark blue, with a six-star cutting, and dotted with a few small diamonds. Extremely gorgeous.
The necklace was a commemorative necklace designed for Cartier’s 100th anniversary and was bought by a princess of the British royal family. Later, it fell into the hands of a businessman, and then was auctioned in Berlin. It happened that Rong Yan and Chu Li were in the Berlin auction market that year. They had a little conflict then and Chu Li bought it at a rocket high price in order to please Rong Yan, since the necklace was something that Rong Yan had been eying on for the longest time.
It had caused a sensation then.
“I know you like this a lot, but why don’t I see you wear it often?” Chu Li chuckled and put it on for her. Her fair skin and the blue gemstones matched well with her beautiful face, which looked pure and refined. She was exceptionally attractive.
Chu Li’s gaze was so soft that Rong Yan’s face reddened. She looked down slightly.
“Beautiful!” Chu Li smiled. Suddenly, he dropped his head, kissed her shy dimple on the corner of her lips, and pressed his warm lips against hers. He kissed deeply, not aggressively, but enough to make an impression.
Rong Yan blushed.
When their lips separated, he was a little short of breath. If they weren’t in a hurry to go out, what he wanted to do at the moment was to pounce on her and do her aggressively.
“Don’t fool around. I’ll meet people later.” Rong Yan sat on his legs, lying in his arms. She had obviously felt his bulge and could not help blushing.
She would be unable to go out and meet people if he turned into a beast in heat. Hence, Rong Yan needed to remind him to restrain himself.
Chu Li buried his head in her neck and mumbled. Rong Yan couldn’t help but touch his hair gently, which was a little prickly. “Let me go, I need to make up.”
“Why do you need make-up? You look great now.” He loved her pure and beautiful appearance when she had no make-up. She was like the lotus in the water, not stained at all.
“Darling, be good. Ah Li, I’ll be done in a moment.”
“Let me hold you for a little longer.” His burning desires had not died down, and he didn’t want to let go of her at the moment.
“Ah, Ali, are you shy? Darling, look up and let me see.” Rong Yan chuckled and said, “What is there to be shy about? You’ve seen it before anyway.”
“Yan Yan.” Chu Li turned angry from embarrassment and glared at her fiercely. “Say some more and I will really turn into a beast right now.”
Rong Yan put her finger across her lips and signaled for him to shut up. Her eyes were full of smiles.
Chu Li kissed her again suddenly and bit her plump lips lightly, as if he was taking revenge. After a small quarrel, Chu Li released her and she went back to the dresser to do her make-up.
“Yan Yan, let’s go to Country R after all the matters are settled.”
“Why?” Rong Yan asked as she dusted her face.
“Just agree with me. Don’t ask why.”
“Whatever.” Since Rong Yan knew that a man who is dissatisfied wouldn’t be good-tempered, she agreed to him casually without thinking much.
Chu Li was elated. “Yan Yan, are you serious?”
“Of course. Well, stop talking, or we’ll be late.”
Chu Li no longer said anything, but he was very happy. His handsome face was slightly flushed with excitement.
It was basic respect to inform Rong Yan’s father if he wanted to marry her. In order to be with Chu Li, Rong Yan had given up everything and even severed ties with her family. Her father had only one baby girl. Although he appeared to be very strict, he was extremely reluctant to let her go. Besides, Rong Yan was also homesick. He tried to take Rong Yan back once, but they did not gain her father’s approval.
Rong Yan eventually stopped mentioning Country R. Later, many things happened, which made the problem worse. Rong Yan had even hurled hurtful words to her father, and they had treated each other as strangers since then. Chu Li felt sorry for Rong Yan as he knew that she wasn’t intentional. Hence, he spoke to her father beforehand and he agreed to forgive what she had done if she was willing to go back home.
“Don’t go back on your words.”
“Okay. I got it.”
There was a knock on the door. It was Chen Yang. “Brother Chu, are you inside?”
Chu Li got up and opened the door with a dark expression on his face. He was still angry about what happened last time. “What’s the matter?”
Chen Yang was a little scared of him, but he mustered his courage and said, “Fang Ying’s illness has recurred again. She wants to see you.”
His voice was just so loud enough that Rong Yan heard him from the dressing table. Her hands which were drawing her eye shadow paused. Then, she smiled coldly and continued her make up. The face reflected in the mirror was clear as lotus and calm as water.
Chu Li frowned slightly. “Have the doctor checked on her?”
“Yup, I’ve called John.”
“I see.” Chu Li’s voice was calm, without emotions. He was about to turn back when Chen Yang asked bravely, “Brother Chu, are you going over?”
“I have something else to do.”
Chen Yang looked down in disappointment. “I understand.”
He left in a rush and Chu Li went back to the room. He continued to sit aside and wait for Rong Yan, as if nothing had happened.
Rong Yan said calmly, “Take a look at her upstairs. It’s okay to be late for a little while.”
“No, I think she’s fine.”
Rong Yan did not say anything more and was finally ready to leave after doing her make-up and dressing up. She was as if the most gorgeous woman who was out of touch with affairs of the world. Chu Li smiled. ‘She’s really beautiful.’
“Let’s go.”
“Ah Li, in fact...” Rong Yan looked as if she wanted to say something, but words got in her way.
“What do you want to say?”
Rong Yan seemed a little desolated and shook her head lightly. She was no longer happy or shy like how she was earlier on and returned to being the calm and indifferent Rong Yan. “Let’s go. We’ll talk about it again.”
“Yan Yan.” Chu Li reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his arms. “Believe in me.”
Rong Yan didn’t answer him, not because she was afraid of Fang Ying, or because she was scared of affecting her close relationship with Fang Ying. She was afraid that Fang Ying would bring devastating impacts on Chu Li.
She couldn’t explain what she was worrying about. She was feeling worried without any reason.
The others wouldn’t understand.
Chu Li asked her to believe in him because he thought that she was mindful of Fang Ying and his past. However, these disputes were insignificant compared to his life. He did not understand why...
“Yan Yan!” Chu Li forced her to open her eyes. “Speak.”
“If I was lying, would there be any difference if you listen or not?” Rong Yan smiled faintly. Chu Li’s gaze and expression darkened. Rong Yan tiptoed and kissed his lips gently, which cooled him down. “I believe you!”
