Xi Du walked inside with a smile on his face. His eyes were locked onto Long Xu In’s pretty face and he also glanced briefly at her chest. There was a lascivious light in his eyes.
It was true that he was pursuing Long Xu In because of his father’s order, but it was also partly because he had already seen her photo.
If Long Xu In had not been a pretty woman, he would not be following the order even if it had been issued by his father. For Xi Du, only a few words were needed: ‘The beautiful, me likey. The not beautiful, I don’t likey’ was his motto.
“Mr. Xi, may I know what business you have here with me?” Long Xu In looked at Xi Du. She despised this man when she saw his eyes filled with sexual desire.
Actually, one could say that she despised him even more.
In the past 2 to 3 days, this Xi Du had traveled to the Long family’s vacation house in Dong Hai island. He had introduced himself and tried to quite openly get to know her there.
If he had not been from one of the big families, she would have sent him packing by now. She would not have wasted time letting him show his despicable gaze to her.
“I came because I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. I really hope you’ll give me this opportunity.” He was still smiling. It was a warm smile. He spoke smoothly.
Xiao Wan blinked. It was obvious that Xi Du was pursuing CEO Long for sure.
She thought that he was a rather dashing man, but his eyes made her feel disgusted. It was exactly like how Long Xu In felt.
‘No wonder why CEO Long didn’t want to meet him. What a waste of a good-looking man! In my neighborhood, they’d call him a handsome pervert. He’s a bastard who can only think about that sort of low thing!’ Xiao Wan could not help but curse Xi Du internally.
Bai Chen, who was standing beside Long Xu In, frowned a little. It seemed like he was upset about all this. He did not even know why or what made him feel like this.
‘Why do I feel displeased?’ he wondered.
He looked back and forth between Xi Du and Long Xu In for a while. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. He sighed without knowing it. They suited each other very much, be it in terms of looks or position.
Judging from the high quality of the suit that Xi Du was wearing, it was enough for him to realize that they were in totally different socioeconomic classes.
However, Bai Chen did not think too much about it. He already knew that he and Long Xu In were from different worlds. What was more important was he already had his cute Li Lin.
When he thought of Li Lin, the feeling from earlier vanished.
“Xu In, let me excuse myself.”
Bai Chen decided not to stay and get in their way. He thought that Long Xu In was going to accept the handsome man’s invitation for sure.
Thus, it would be good if he was not there in between them.
Hearing what Bai Chen said, Long Xu In immediately turned to him. Her eyes trembled a little. She frowned.
‘Speaking like this, is the jealous?’
The thought arose in Long Xu In’s mind. She shivered a little.
She almost forgot that she needed to give Xi Du an answer.
‘He must be jealous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t speak like that!’ She confirmed this to herself. Her face flushed a little. She was very happy with the idea.
It was only normal as she had already fallen in love with Bai Chen, her first love. Seeing him act possessive over her, it was not hard for her to feel happy.
Xi Du stopped smiling because he had been waiting for two minutes without any answer from Long Xu In. Moreover, she’d even turned to look at the cheaply-dressed man with a plain face, Bai Chen.
‘Who’s this trash?’ Xi Du wondered. He looked at Bai Chen in an unfriendly manner, like he was his love rival.
Actually no, he did not see Bai Chen as his love rival at all. He was Xi Du from a big family anyway.
Bai Chen was beneath his notice. The reason why he looked at Bai Chen that way was that Long Xu In had turned to him, instead of himself.
Everything went quiet. Xiao Wan turned to look at CEO Long as she was wondering why her CEO did not say anything to Xi Du at all.
It was the same time that Long Xu In spoke.
“Bai Chen, you don’t have to rush. Or do you have anything urgent to do?”
“No,” Bai Chen said. “I just think you would have something important to do after this, so I should be leaving.”
“I don’t have any important business.” Long Xu In shook her head at him before turning back to Xi Du. “Mr. Xi, I’m sorry. I already made an appointment for tonight.”
“Hmm?” Xi Du could not help but frown. He did not expect Long Xu In to decline his offer. He looked at Bai Chen before asking angrily, “Is he your appointment?”
“Yes,” Long Xu In did not hesitate to admit. She was so frank, Xiao Wan was stunned.
Xiao Wan did not expect CEO Long to decline Xi Du’s invitation because of Bai Chen.
If there were some other reasons, she would not have been so surprised. But this was absolutely unexpected.
Even though she did not want to believe it, she did not say anything. She only suppressed her feelings and watched quietly.
Xi Du’s face was so twisted, it became ugly. He looked at Bai Chen with rage.
However, that lasted only for a short moment. His anger seemed to vanish and was replaced with gentleness. He looked at Long Xu In’s face and smiled.
“It’s all right then. I hope you’ll accept my invitation tomorrow. I’ll take my leave for now.”
He quickly left the room after he finished speaking.
“That man changes colors like a chameleon!” Long Xu In blurted out after Xi Du was gone.
Bai Chen and Xiao Wan were speechless. Bai Chen did not expect Long Xu In to decline Xi Du’s invitation and speak like that.
He did not know why, but this made him feel strangely happy.
“Xiao Wan, you should continue with your work. We’ll be leaving,” Long Xu In said and turned to look at Bai Chen. “Should we go?”
Bai Chen spoke as if had just awakened from his slumber. “Huh…err…ahh…umm…”
Long Xu In walked out of the room followed by Bai Chen, leaving Xiao Wan frozen place. She had not even had a chance to reply.
When they got out of the room. Xi Du was still there, standing by the door. Long Xu In flashed a quick look at him, but she did not care. Instead, she quickly walked towards the lift.
Bai Chen did not care about him either. He walked past Xi Du.
At that time, he heard a cold voice whispering, “You’re going to get it!”
