Chapter 146: Chapter 146: A Face Full of Confusion
As Li Kani moved, Chen Xiao couldnât help but draw in a sharp breath.
To think that the woman who was so proud just moments ago was now... The inexplicable sense of conquest and satisfaction he felt was far stronger than any physical stimulation.
Li Kani didnât dare open her eyes. Her body felt unbearably hot, and she was overwhelmed with humiliation and anger.
Suddenly, she widened her eyes and touched her face. A strong, masculine scent filled her nostrils. In an instant, the atmosphere became unbearably awkward. When she came to her senses, Li Kani plopped onto the floor.
"I-Iâm sorry," Chen Xiao stammered.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He truly hadnât expected to lose control like that. Such an embarrassing thing to happen... This wasnât like him at all!
Fury filled Li Kaniâs beautiful eyes. She looked as if she wanted to subject Chen Xiao to death by a thousand cuts. Without looking back, she ran into the bathroom as if sheâd gone mad.
Chen Xiao heard the SPLASH of running water.
She must have turned on the faucet to wash her face.
Feeling utterly disgraced, Chen Xiao quickly put his clothes back on just as Lu Wushuangâs footsteps approached from outside. The door opened, and Lu Wushuang stared at Chen Xiao with a puzzled expression. "Whatâs going on? Why did I suddenly hear Kani scream? Donât tell me you two..."
COUGH, COUGH. Chen Xiao cleared his throat, a rare look of timidity on his handsome face as he replied evasively, "Itâs nothing. She tripped and fell. Sheâs just in the bathroom washing her face now."
Lu Wushuangâs expression was strange; she clearly sensed something was amiss. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "Is it really that simple?"
"Itâs just that simple," Chen Xiao said firmly.
She asked again, "Wasnât Kani supposed to be making a mold for you? Why are you still fully dressed?"
"We hadnât gotten around to starting yet."
Just then, Li Kani emerged from the bathroom, her face freshly washed. Having removed her makeup, her natural beauty was revealed, her features possessing a delicate elegance. She glared at Chen Xiao, her eyes stormy and her expression as foul as could be.
Growing up, the number of men she had ever come into contact with could be counted on one hand, let alone having such an intimate encounter. Yet this guy not only had âunconventional contactâ with her, but he also... This was simply the darkest moment of her life!
Lu Wushuang asked with concern, "Chen Xiao said you fell? Are you okay?"
Li Kaniâs face flushed red as she mumbled evasively, "Iâve got a padded butt. Iâm fine."
Lu Wushuang nodded. "Good, as long as youâre okay." But then her fine brows furrowed. "Still, why do I smell something strange in the air?"
Chen Xiao grew even more embarrassed.
Li Kani tensed up and flicked her hair back. "Really? Youâre probably just imagining things. I donât smell anything."
Even though Chen Xiao was the one who had gotten her face messy, she would be the one to die of embarrassment if Lu Wushuang found out. The mental image was too horrifying to even contemplate. You donât have to have eaten pork to know what a pig looks like; she could perfectly imagine how utterly wretched she must have looked with her makeup all ruined.
After scrutinizing them and seeing nothing obviously amiss, Lu Wushuang could only nod. "Alright then, I wonât disturb you two any longer. Kani, hurry up and finish your work."
"Okay," Li Kani agreed with a smile, before turning to glare at Chen Xiao, gritting her teeth.
Chen Xiao feigned calmness.
Inside, he was cringing so hard he felt he could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with his toes.
After Lu Wushuang left, Li Kaniâs pretty face turned icy. She warned Chen Xiao, "Come on. Weâre continuing the work. If there are any more... accidents... this time, Iâll castrate you."
Chen Xiao shivered and retorted stubbornly, "It was clearly because you werenât professional enough..."
"Shut up! Donât you ever mention this again. Weâll pretend it never happened!" Li Kani snapped, her face flushed with anger. "Now hurry up and take off your pants."
Chen Xiao could only let her have her way.
However, there were no accidents this time. As soon as Li Kani finished making the mold, she grabbed all her tools and left immediately, leaving Chen Xiao in an agonizing state. It took him a long time to calm down.
After finally regaining his composure, Chen Xiao went out, just in time to see Li Kani finishing up a chat with Lu Wushuang as she was preparing to leave the villa.
Lu Wushuang stretched lazily. "Since youâre leaving, Kani, you might as well give my junior a lift. Iâm too lazy to do it, and itâs on your way."
Li Kani was about to refuse when Lu Wushuang playfully slapped her ample backside. "What? After seeing the... âmoldâ for my junior, are you afraid youâll fall for him? Too scared for more contact?"
"What a joke. Me, fall for him? Iâd fall for a pig before Iâd ever fancy that âquick guyâ!" Li Kani scoffed, suppressing her irritation. She turned to Chen Xiao. "Get in the car. Iâll give you a ride for Wushuangâs sake!"
Chen Xiao was furious about that nickname. However, at Lu Wushuangâs insistence, he obediently got into Li Kaniâs car.
The atmosphere in the car was awkward. The two of them drove in silence. Li Kani fumed about her ruined makeup. Chen Xiao, for his part, was still brooding over his embarrassing mishap and the "quick guy" nickname it had earned him, feeling utterly depressed.
However, before they could even drive out of the villa complex, their path was blocked by a group of people.
A motorcade pulled to a stop in front of Yunding Heavenly Palace. A handsome young man with a warm smile stepped out of the lead car, a Rolls-Royce, holding a bouquet of roses.
Upon seeing this young man, Li Kaniâs face immediately turned livid.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, found the young man familiar.
If Iâm not mistaken, isnât that the second son of the Zhonghai Qin Family, Qin Cang? The one we ran into at the Drunken Immortal Residence a couple of days ago?
Holding the flowers, Qin Cang strode toward them. "Kani, itâs been too long. Youâre more beautiful than ever. Is my sudden appearance a pleasant surprise?"
