Chapter 40

Uncle-Niece Relationship

By the time Chi Yi reached Zuoke Steakhouse, it was already six o’clock. Chi Zuxu and his blind date were already there.

He noticed her arrival as soon as she stepped past the entrance.

Of course, she, too, saw him at a glance. Their eyes met for a second before the lass quickly averted her gaze, proudly lifted her face, and strode into the restaurant as though she had a prior appointment and did not come for him.

She soon found a spot conducive for spying on her uncle and his blind date where she sat down and randomly ordered a cold beverage. She patiently waited for her blind date while surreptitiously observing the pair opposite her.

She must admit, the woman facing her uncle was rather easy on the eye and was exactly how her second aunt described her to be: a pretty-looking and well-bred young lady.

She seemed to be quite the wife-material and did not look capable of bullying or abusing her at all!

This knowledge got Chi Yi pouting in frustration, but what made her most depressed was that her uncle seemed to be quite fond of his blind date. He had maintained a gentlemanly smile throughout when speaking to the woman, unlike how he usually treated her — cold and even fierce at times!

Tsk!

Filled with pent-up frustrations, she turned her head back only to see an exceedingly handsome chap standing before her.

The guy stared at her with an evil smirk on his face, which seemed to show on his thick brows, too.

The evil glint in his eyes, high nose bridge, sexy lips, and the blue squarish diamond stud in his left earlobe all added hints of unruliness to his innate devilish charm.

Why does this face… seem so familiar?

“Lu Liye?!”

She stared at him dumbly with her mouth agape. “Why is it you?”

Carelessly tossing his backpack to the couch beside him, Lu Liye lazily sat down at the seat across her and fired a question back at her. “Why can’t it be me?”

“…”

She felt a headache coming on as she held her forehead.

I never imagine that ‘the guy isn’t going to embarrass you in any way’ Yanhua mentioned would actually be Lu Liye, this… vile scumbag!

Of course, one thing she had to admit was that this scumbag in front of her was handsome! Heartbreakingly handsome!

On the other end, the young guy had already caught Chi Zuxu’s attention the moment he sat down at his niece’s table.

Isn’t this the lad whom she met in the bar?

So the guy she likes is him?

At the thought of this plausibility, he could not help frowning and his deep-set eyes darkened considerably.

“Is he the one you like?” asked Lu Liye as he looked past his shoulders to take a gander at the older man.

Chi Yi kept her silence while sipping on her cold drink. Her gaze somehow would always land on her uncle’s dashing profile as she nervously observed his movements and even the most minute changes in expression, all just to figure out what was on his mind.

“You like your uncle?” He smirked evilly at her. “Interesting!”

“H-How did you know that?” There was a slight shift in her expression — the type of shy embarrassment from someone discovering one’s deep, dark secret.

“Chi Zuxu is the legendary figure and the third child of the Chi family while you, Chi Yi, are the daughter of the eldest son and the sole young missy of the Chi family! You two share an uncle-niece relationship! Sorry, but with my IQ, I’m still capable of analyzing that relationship of yours!”

“You ran a background check on me?!” questioned Chiyi while pointing at his nose angrily in humiliation.

Unfortunately, she never expected that as soon as she stuck her finger out, the guy would actually stretch out his head, open his mouth and… unhesitatingly suck on it.
