Good Evening, Mr President! Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Are we a couple, then?
With a beam and a cock of his brow, he asked the girl, “Your uncle doesn’t like you?”
It felt as though she was suddenly poked in her sore spot, which made her lose a bit of her appetite. Eventually, she tossed the cutlery aside and ceased eating.
“Look at your pathetic self!” cried Lu Liye in disdain. At that, he cut a piece of steak from his plate and delivered it to her mouth. “Come on, open your mouth!”
“I don’t want to!”
Chi Yi turned her face away.
“Hey! Do you want your uncle to like you or not?”
“You have a way?” Her eyes sparkled with delight.
“Open your mouth then!” he ordered.
Her lips remained tightly shut, however.
“Idiot—” He chided her for her incompetency before urging, “Hurry. If you don’t give it a try, how are you going to find out if he has any romantic feelings for you or not?”
“?”
She had no idea at all what he was trying to do here.
Nevertheless, the lass obediently opened her mouth after hearing what he said and took in that mouthful of steak into her mouth.
That instant when Chi Zuxu saw his niece parting her rosy cherry-like lips and eating that mouthful of steak Lu Liye fed her, an inexplicable surge of fury immediately rose within him.
He even… found that lass’ action to be so sexy and teasing to the extent he did not want her to do it in front of other men!
“Chi Yi, your uncle is coming our way!” Lu Liye suddenly cried out in warning.
Stunned, she tilted her head only to see her uncle, with a long and solemn face, coldly approaching them.
The fact that he had his suit jacket casually draped over his arm obviously meant that he had the intention to leave.
Sure enough, as soon as he came over, the domineering man pulled her hand and coldly ordered, “Come home with me!”
“…”
Naturally, Chi Yi did not resist him. She obediently got up and followed after him, instead.
Before she left the restaurant, she did not forget to secretly finger an ‘OK’ sign to the guy behind to express her gratitude.
The latter shook his head and went
tsk tsk
at that. Still, he did not stop her from leaving.
No wonder this lass failed to get the man. She doesn’t even know the simplest rule of playing hard to get.
————————————
Back in his car, Chi Zuxu’s face was of an awful shade.
The two of them had kept their silence throughout the journey. Since the man did not speak, Chi Yi naturally dared not say a word either.
An uncomfortable thirty minutes passed before the car finally came to a stop in front of the villa.
Chi Yi hastily unbuckled her seat belt in an attempt to escape by alighting from the car.
Unfortunately, before she could even push the door open, a large and strong hand clasped on her shoulder and pressed her back to the seat. She was seated properly in the seat again before she even showed the slightest reaction.
“Is he your new boyfriend?” The look on her uncle’s face was eerily cold and the gaze he affixed on her was so sharp it could pierce right through her.
“No.” She shook her head and told the truth, “We’re only schoolmates!”
We’re not even considered friends!
“Only schoolmates?” The man squinted his eyes dangerously as his grave and stern face drew close to her. In his fury, he hooked her chin up with his big hand to force her to meet his gaze. “Chi the Fourth, an ordinary friend of yours can get so intimate with you to the extent of sucking your finger and feeding your food? Are you such a wanton woman in private?!”
It was only after a good while of staring at the heated man that she opened her mouth in indignation. “That’s how I’m usually like — a wanton woman!”
As she blurted out those words, she even deliberately pressed her face closer to his in provocation such that there was only half an inch of space between them and their breathing. Her gaze remained fixed on his dark orbs as they meet each other’s eyes. She then whispered, “Say, Uncle. In terms of intimacy, we have not only kissed and touched each other, but you’ve also seen my bare body. Are we… considered a couple then?”
