Chapter 25 Did i pull his trigger?

The moment Yu Chen touched the book, Luo Xiaolei felt like a powerful lightning just landed behind her, jolting her to the core, that before she knew it, she already stormed out of her room and ran towards him.

’You must definitely not see that, devil!!’ she was screaming in her mind as Yu Chen held the book.

That moment, it almost felt like time slowed down as the scene turned into slow motion. As Luo Xiaolei approached him, Yu Chen turned in her direction and his eyes slowly turned wide as soon as he saw her. He was obviously stunned with the unexpected view that appeared before his eyes without any warning.

The moment she reached him, the girl wrapped in a sky blue towel suddenly snatched the book from the hand of the frozen man.

Yu Chen’s entire senses were all directed to her that he didn’t even realize that the book was no longer in his hand. He couldn’t even avert his gaze away from her.

Luo Xiaolei’s long hair was scattered on her bare shoulders, which looked soft and white as jade. Her exposed long legs were slender and smooth. She was absolutely that type of lady who was more than worthy to grace the cover of famous magazines.

She had always been stunning in Yu Chen’s eyes but seeing her like this was just too much for him so he couldn’t even react.

Luo Xiaolei on the other hand was panting as she immediately hid the book behind her. She felt like she was about to have a heart attack. She was so panicked that she seemed like she had forgotten that she was actually wearing nothing but a towel in front of a man.

"Haha... I’m sorry Mr. Yu, but t-this book is actually an... uhm... I had doodled a lot of things in this book and I actually made it as my diary. I wrote personal things in here so I can’t possibly show you or you’ll just laugh at me." She immediately started explaining as she forced a laugh.

When the man remained silent as he looked at her almost without blinking, Luo Xiaolei thought that she had displeased the man by her action and it made her feel more anxious. Oh god! Did I pull his trigger?

Luo Xiaolei was beginning to feel like she was doomed. She couldn’t help but think that this Yu Chen, the devil, was surely displeased by what she did. After all, who would dare snatch something from this almighty creature and expect nothing in return? This was the same man whom even the richest and most powerful people were afraid of to their deepest core, after all!

Luo Xiaolei could only tug her own hair in her mind. Why did she not think about something better than this? She should have screamed and switched to her acting mode or anything to get his attention rather than this, right?! Oh time, please rewind. Let me redo this scene again... T^T

"Uhm... I... I have this really good book which is very interesting. I believe this will entertain you while you wait, Mr. Yu." Luo Xiaolei still forced herself to do something to redeem herself. She couldn’t possibly just let things go from bad to worse like this. This was the man she could not afford to offend right now so she worked her ass off to coax him.

"This book is really great, Mr. Yu. Uhm... I think I put it here..." As Luo Xiaolei spoke, she moved as she looked for that certain book in the shelves. She was actually looking for that magazine that featured the infamous god of business world, Seiji Chen. Of course, she thought that he might have read it already considering how famous that man was but Luo Xiaolei couldn’t think about any other book that could entertain someone like him. Moreover, she couldn’t help but tense up due to the pressure that he was exuding. He never spoke at all and his gaze seemed to be piercing her deeply that she couldn’t even look him in the eyes now.

"Ohh, it’s there!" Finally, Luo Xiaolei spotted the magazine. It was on the higher part so she tiptoed and reached for it. One hand was holding that book as she raised her other hand to reach the magazine. She was so flustered and focused on trying to make the situation right that all she thought about was grabbing that magazine as soon as possible!

"Wait, let me-" the man suddenly said but it was too late. Luo Xiaolei had already reached for the book as he spoke and the moment she pulled it out of the shelves, her towel fell on the floor.
