Chapter 98 Some serious advice

Yu Chen was surprised by Luo Xiaolei's reaction. He didn't expect her to be this positively triggered that she even looked like she wanted to hug his thigh just now. How could she be this happy and excited just by knowing that she could now meet a certain author she never even met before?

He remembered that night when he first approached her and the scene where she was running away from him like she was running for her dear life was the first to flash in his head. The difference between her reaction towards him and towards this infamous author was just too huge that Yu Chen didn't even notice that his aura already turned chilly just by thinking about it.

Gu Wei who was still standing there, watching them like a good pet, felt the sudden change of the atmosphere and he gulped. He could even feel a faint bloodlust in the air which was obviously directed towards him and it made him want to just run away and escape.

Boss, what is it again this time?! Your wife is very happy now. It means I did a very good job here and yet, you are angry?! Was it because I lied and said that you're a fan boy?! That was the fastest way for me to redirect her attention to you, okay?!

While Gu Wei was busy plotting his escape plan, the oblivious Luo Xiaolei tightened her grip on Yu Chen's arm.

"Sweetie, I want to go back to my house to get something important. I'll just go and pick up some books and come back immediately." Luo Xiaolei said with a warm beautiful smile and then, just like that, the atmosphere instantly changed.

The change, of course, didn't escape Gu Wei's notice, so he finally relaxed. Wait, did Miss Luo pacify him just by calling him 'sweetie'? Ha ha, boss! How could it be so damn easy for her but as difficult as a quantum physics for us?! And are you serious right now? How could you just nod at her like that?! Did you fall in a daze too?!

As soon as Luo Xiaolei dashed away upstairs, Gu Wei, who already completely forgotten about his escape plan, sidled towards Yu Chen.

"Boss, I have some serious advice to impart. You must stop being too easy like this. I mean, be like those overbearing and possessive male leads in movies and novels. Don't you know that those kind of men attract women like magnets? Girls love possessive men, believe me!" Gu Wei's tone was very serious and he was suddenly very absorbed in his role of being Yu Chen's new love advisor.

"Like, at least don't just nod at her every request. I mean, I'm not saying you should say 'no', what I'm saying is at least ask her to do something first… for instance… you can do it like this." In the middle of his explanation, Gu Wei suddenly stretched his arms and then, he suddenly slammed his hands on top of the sofa's backrest. "Boss, this is called kabe-don, no, this is sofa-don actually. You can do it like this and ask her for a kiss or anything you want first before agreeing to her request. I'm very sure her heart will flutter like crazy and she will definitely fall even deeper with you!"

After his explanation and demonstration, Gu Wei waited for Yu Chen's reaction with intense anticipation.

However, what Yu Chen said first was a cold, hard "Move".

Silence followed Yu Chen's one-word reaction before he spoke again.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Yu Chen's voice turned chilly, causing Gu Wei to jolt and then, he finally realized that his hands were still on the sofa, performing the kabe-don on him, while their faces were barely inches away from each other.

Gu Wei jumped away from Yu Chen, as if he suddenly saw a flying cockroach about to land on his face.

"S-sorry boss! That was an exam –"

"Go prepare the car. I'll go with her." Yu Chen was already walking away like nothing had happened, leaving Gu Wei standing there, frozen, until his boss was no longer in his sight.

He then weakly sat on the sofa, sighing in great relief, as if he just escaped his sure death. "Sigh… that was close. Wait… I actually ended up sofa-doning the big boss?!! And yet, I'm still alive and kicking right now?! OMG!!! Boss, did you really turn completely soft now? Did you really bury your devil self for good?!"

…

On their way to Luo Xiaolei's apartment, the trip was very quiet. Well, Yu Chen had been looking serious since they left Scarlet Hill. It was as if he was contemplating a certain serious matter and his domineering presence was so strong that no one dared to speak and disturb him.

Luo Xiaolei was also silenced. She could only deduce that something might have happened so she tried her best to behave even though she was itching to ask whether he was really author Hinari's fan. Well, she really couldn't believe it. She really couldn't imagine Yu Chen of all people reading romance novels filled with fluffiness.

Gu Wei must be lying, right?

While Luo Xiaolei was talking to herself inside her head, a call pulled her away from her train of thought.

After the call, she glanced at Yu Chen and the man seemed to have snapped out from his deep meditation and was now looking at her.

"Teacher Li just called. She said that the twins finished school early today and that Little Rui and Ranran are already waiting." She said as she looked at her wrist watch. She realized that it would take them a long while if they went to her apartment before fetching the boys so Luo Xiaolei decided to go to her house alone.

"You want me to drop you off here?" Yu Chen's tone was unwilling.

"It's okay. I'll take a taxi." She smiled, waiting for his approval but Yu Chen was silent again.

And then, out of the blue, he sidled towards her.

Luo Xiaolei almost gasp in surprise because of Yu Chen's sudden movement. His face was suddenly a bit too close to hers and the force in his eyes were also suddenly intense, making her unable to look away.

At that moment, Gu Wei, the driver, already parked the car on the road side. He was already grinning wide within him, cheering loudly for his boss inside his head. He he he… it looks like big boss listened to my advice… do it boss! Show that hidden possessive charm of yours!!
