The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute Chapter 128 - You’re Quite Good at Taking Advantage of the Situation to Profiteer

Chapter 128: You’re Quite Good at Taking Advantage of the Situation to Profiteer

At half-past four, Li Yan looked up from his computer at Chu Luo.
At this moment, Chu Luo was looking at the amount entering her account with sparkling eyes. When she saw Li Yan’s gaze, she quickly hid the sparkles and looked at him with innocent big eyes.
Li Yan was amused by her expression and couldn’t help but smile. He said, “You’re quite good at taking advantage of the situation to profiteer.”
Chu Luo lifted her chin modestly. “You flatter me.”
After saying that, she quickly transferred the money to another account that she had opened. She looked at him and asked, “Is it over?”
“Mm.”
Li Yan stood up from his chair and walked up to her.
Chu Luo turned to look at him.
Li Yan leaned towards her slightly and looked into her sparkling eyes. He suddenly wanted to touch them, so he raised his finger to tap the edge of her eye.
“What are you doing?” Chu Luo subconsciously leaned back.
Li Yan retracted his hand and said sternly, “You have dark circles under your eyes.”
Chu Luo was stunned at first, then she raised her voice. “How is that possible!”
All girls liked to look pretty. Although Chu Luo didn’t believe him, she subconsciously wanted to take her phone to look.
However, Li Yan held her back. “We should go back.”
With that, he pulled her up.
Chu Luo quickly retracted her hand from his and took out her phone from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch. She had originally planned to turn on the selfie camera to see if there were dark circles around her eyes, but she realized that there were many missed calls on her phone.
They were all from Tang Zhiyun and the gang.
She then remembered that she had forgotten to tell them that she wasn’t going back yesterday.
But it was too early. The five of them must be sleeping. Chu Luo thought for a moment and sent a message to Tang Zhiyun. “I am fine. Don’t worry.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhiyun called her as soon as she sent the message.
When Chu Luo picked up the call, Li Yan subconsciously frowned.
Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo where she went that night and why she didn’t go back. It was just like how an older brother would take his sister in hand.
Other than him, the other boys kept asking her where she went and why she didn’t go back. That it wasn’t safe for a girl like her to stay outside, blah blah blah.
Chu Luo suddenly recalled that, last time, when she brought Li Yan to eat with them, Li Yan had said that he was her brother. So that they wouldn’t continue asking, she said to them seriously, “I’m with my older brother.”
Indeed, these words immediately shut the mouths of those people.
Chu Luo said, “We went to a banquet last night, but I forgot to tell you guys. Thank you for your concern. You guys should rest. I’ll be back soon.”
The boys were relieved and told her to come back early to rest.
After hanging up, Chu Luo looked at Li Yan and said, “I didn’t expect the excuse that you’re my older brother to be so useful.”
Li Yan’s eyes flashed and his lips suddenly curled up into a smile. He also thought that her calling him “Brother” sounded good.
He asked, “Do you want to go eat something?”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes.”
Taking advantage of the situation earlier was also a taxing activity. She was already very hungry.
The two of them walked out of the door.
When they reached the first floor, they didn’t expect that there would be more people in the hall than when they arrived.
These people were excitedly discussing the online battle that happened a few hours ago.
“As expected of the largest corporation in the world. I wonder who it was that wanted to go against the Blazing Glory Corporation. The war just now was too exciting.”
“In the beginning, I thought that Blazing Glory would be unable to withstand a single blow. I didn’t expect that this was actually just Blazing Glory’s way of luring the enemy.”
“The other party lost ten billion, right?”
“That’s right. From the stock market curve, it can be seen that even if Blazing Glory’s subsidiary company is in the US, they won’t be able to do make any ripples without putting in a lot of money.”
“Actually, I’ve already guessed the result… However, that hacker who suddenly barged in was really bold. To actually dare to take away more than a billion from under the noses of two big shots. I wonder if that person will be chased down by the Blazing Glory Corporation and the other party.”
“Since he had the ability to interfere at that time, he must not be underestimated. At that time, I tracked that person’s IP address. I didn’t expect his anti-tracking skills to be so good.”
“I wonder who that was? Could it be one of the top ten hackers in the world?”
“I don’t think so. Tonight was a cyberwar between Blazing Glory and some higher-ups. No matter how powerful those hackers are, they wouldn’t dare to trifle with either side!”
…
Chu Luo and Li Yan walked out of the hall. When they reached the motorcycle parked there, Chu Luo smiled and said, “Those people have always been under the impression that it was Blazing Glory’s team fighting the battles. Who knew that it was only you?”
“Are you complimenting me?”
“No way.”
Chu Luo wouldn’t admit it. Suddenly, she thought of something and changed the topic to ask him, “Did Qin Ming deal with the people the Blue family and Prince Arlan had sent to kill you?”
Li Yan nodded and got onto the motorcycle, then looked at her. “Hop on.”
Chu Luo got on and the motorcycle drove out.
The two of them went to a nearby restaurant.
In order to accommodate the overtime crowd, many of the restaurants here were open 24 hours a day. When the two of them entered, there weren’t many people in the restaurant, but the masked Li Yan and the beautiful Chu Luo still became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Some people started pointing at them.
“That man is wearing a mask!”
“The woman beside him is so beautiful.”
“To be able to eat here at this time, he must be the head of some company. That man might be an important figure who doesn’t want to be recognized.”
…
Li Yan asked for a private room. After the two of them entered, the waiter brought the menu.
Li Yan’s aura was too strong, so the waiter handed the menu to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo was really hungry. She took the menu and started ordering. After ordering, she said to the waiter, “Serve some pastries first. Also, serve the ice cream I ordered first.”
“Okay, please wait for a moment.”
The pastries and ice cream were served quickly. Chu Luo was eating ice cream with a spoon in one hand and was holding a small cake in the other.
Li Yan sat opposite her and subconsciously placed his gaze on her small mouth. It was probably because she had eaten strawberry jam ice cream, but Chu Luo’s lips were especially red.
They were especially tempting.
Li Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes. He subconsciously recalled the feeling when his lips met hers and his gaze deepened.
“Do you want to eat this?”
Seeing that Li Yan was staring at the food in her hand, Chu Luo handed him a small piece of cake with a fork.
Li Yan pursed his lips and looked at the piece of cake with disdain.
“If you don’t want to eat it, fine.”
Actually, Chu Luo wasn’t very sincere about letting him eat it. Seeing his expression, she immediately wanted to retract her hand.
However, at this moment, Li Yan grabbed her wrist.
“I thought you didn’t want to eat it?”
“Who said so?”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he grabbed her hand and brought the cake to his mouth to eat before letting go of her hand.
Chu Luo couldn’t help but blush and quickly retracted her hand. “Don’t hold my hand again. If you want to eat, use your own fork.”
Li Yan smiled at her and retracted his gaze. He leaned back in his chair and immediately exuded a lazy and elegant aura.
No one could have imagined how cold and ruthless he could be if they saw him in this manner. He was simply like a different person after he’d taken off his mask.
Chu Luo looked at him in surprise.
He said, “Okay.”
As for how credible this word was, only he knew.
After their meal, it was still dark.
Li Yan sent Chu Luo back to the hotel she was staying at. Chu Luo alighted and said goodbye to him before walking towards the entrance.
However, footsteps soon followed behind her.
Chu Luo stopped and turned to look at him. “Why aren’t you going back yet?”
Li Yan glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, “Since I’m your older brother, I have a duty to send you up.”
Chu Luo: “…”
When they reached the floor, the corridor was very quiet. When Chu Luo walked to the door of her suite, she said to him, “I’m here.”
“Mm, open the door.”
Chu Luo refused.
Li Yan raised his hand to massage his temple and said, “If something had gone wrong, those people might be guarding my villa. I drank a lot last night and used my brain too much. I might not be able to deal with them if I go back at this time.”
“You can get someone to pick you up… Ah… What are you doing?”
Li Yan suddenly pressed a hand on the door behind her and leaned towards her.
Chu Luo subconsciously wanted to push him.
Li Yan pointed at his chest. “You didn’t forget that you slapped me last night, did you? I’ve likely already sustained internal injuries. Shouldn’t you be responsible?”
“…” Chu Luo suddenly retracted her hand and looked at him with sparkling eyes. She had a nagging feeling that this person had definitely had a change of heart.
She asked blankly, “Who are you?”
Li Yan smiled. “Chu Yan, your older brother.”
“…”
Did this person really think that he could become someone else just by wearing a mask!
The two of them stood by the door and stared at each other for a while. Li Yan suddenly lowered his voice. “I’ll sleep here for two hours. I’ll leave at daybreak.”
Chu Luo was used to seeing him be domineering. Seeing him suddenly give in, a strange feeling surged in her heart. She subconsciously looked into his tired eyes, and her heart suddenly softened. In the end, she let him in.
After entering, Chu Luo pointed at one of the guest rooms. “You can stay in that room.” Then, she said, “Wait for a while. I’ll get you some ointment.”
With that, she went to her bedroom and took out a bottle of ointment. “Apply it there later. If it still hurts…”
At this point, Chu Luo suddenly stopped talking.
Li Yan stared at her intently. “Mm?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips. Recalling his nasty behavior, she puffed up her cheeks and said, “It won’t hurt anymore in two days.”
With that, she entered her bedroom and closed the door.
Li Yan looked at her bedroom door for a while, a warm glow flickering across his eyes. He then opened the door to the adjacent bedroom and walked in.
