Fatal Preference

Chapter 4

Ri Pretty nodded on the ground with one leg, turning the barstool to look behind her.

At this time, that snarling man was still cursing, a pair of eyes red like blood, the whole person's state slightly maniacal.

The wooden door that was kicked open by him, the articulated door suction broke and the door panel shook.

Lai Pretty's expression was pale as she wandered her eyes, looking at the inner room of the elegant room, and through the half-metre gap, that familiar figure came into view.

Shang Yu sat on the curved sofa in the elegant room, one arm bent flat on the back of the sofa, the other hand clamped a cigarette to the lips to gulp.

His posture was lazy and wild.

The appearance and roar of the roaring man did not seem to have any effect on him.

The white mist curls up and scatters in all directions, hazy his three-dimensional handsome features, Lai Pretty can't really see, but there is a kind of unbearable itching.

"That person, is it really Shang Shaoyan?"

Wen Shi hand still holding the mixer shaking water, and Lai Pretty together look at the direction of the elegant room muttered out.

In the vast Southern Ocean, there should be no one who doesn't know the name of Shang Shaoyan.

Under the banner of his Diffractive Emperor Group, it encompassed multiple industries such as medicine, science and technology, military industry, banking, artificial intelligence, and so on.

The group's industrial layout almost supported the economic development of the entire Southern Ocean.

Such a man was indeed worthy of the name 'Southern Ocean Overlord'.

Lai Pretty didn't seem to hear Wen Shi's words as she looked away from the cigarette in Shang Yu's hand, her eyes falling on his thin lips as he moved.

His lips are very thin, with a light pink colour, the lip line is still clear when he purses the smoke, and when he exhales the smoke, he narrows his deep eyes, lonely and full of energy.

Lai Pretty look seriously, probably too hot eyes, the man leaned over to pinch the cigarette, raised his eyebrows slightly side head, the two people's line of sight unexpectedly collided with each other.

Lights and wine green confusion, elegant and secluded slow bar, four eyes relative to this moment, certain unknown sentiment as notes jumped in front of the eyes.

He saw her!

Lai Pretty frankly locked eyes with him, without the slightest embarrassment or evasion of being caught.

Shang Yu retracted his gaze with a sullen expression, and in the next second, he put down his folded legs and got up to walk out of the elegant room.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even glance at the snarling man, his tall and leggy back disappeared in the exit of the Slow Bar in the twinkling of an eye.

At this time, two more eye-catching looking men walked out from inside the elegant room, one of them raised his hand and patted the growling man's shoulder, exclaiming, "Buddy, courage is commendable!"

The other man also looked at the growling man with a cool gaze, his tone mocking: "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your big brother? Come on, let's go out and talk!"

A farce seemed to end there.

Countless people looked in the direction that Shang Yu had left in silence, staring.

That man with the most handsome face was the mysterious Shang Shaoyan?

In less than a minute, the snarling man was taken away, and the atmosphere in the slow bar seemed to have returned to its original quiet harmony.

Lai Pretty pulled her lips, turned to face the direction of the bar liquor cabinet, and raised her glass to take a sip of Mojito, the alcohol flavour was light, and there was also a greenish acidity, like the meaningful look that Shang Yu gave her just now.

At this time, Ling broad footsteps came from behind her, a shadow covered her head, Lai Pretty heard a sentence: "Miss Lai, Master Diffractive has an invitation."

The movement of Li Beauty still holding her wine glass was lulled, lazily staring back, oh, it was a bodyguard, she had seen it in the afternoon in the Bicolour Courtyard.

Undeniably, in the bodyguard's eyes tonight, there were a few more points of scrutiny and probing in his eyes as he looked at Li Beauty. After following Master Diffractive for so long, Li Beauty was the first girl he had ever taken the initiative to ask to meet.

Lai Pretty nodded slightly, put down the wine glass in her hand, and angled her chin in the direction of the door, "Lead the way."

Bodyguard: "Please!"

......

At one o'clock in the late night, the car park of Nanyang Casino was still filled with luxury cars.

Men and women who are looking for fun can be seen everywhere, this city that never sleeps is a hotbed of ambiguity.

Lai Pretty followed the bodyguard to the door of the Casino, the night sky, the luxury fleet of cars with the Diffractive Emperor Group's logo was parked at the bottom of the steps of the lobby.

The bodyguard led her to a Phantom in the centre, pulled open the backseat door, and probed his hand to indicate, "Miss Li, please get in the car."

Li Qiu looked down at the open door of the car, Shang Yu was inside, the dim overhead lights poured around him, like a layer of golden light dazzling.

A document rested on his folded legs, and under Ri Siao's gaze, he sometimes flipped through it, sometimes sketching.

Until he turned over the third page, the tip of the pen slightly pause, low voice with a hint of hoarse opened: "A person to come?"

Lai Pretty responded unhurriedly, "Well, alone."

Tang Yiting, who was playing billiards in a private pool hall, "?"

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

Lai Pretty stuck one hand in her pocket, twisting the necklace on her collar with the other hand and shaking it, smiling lightly, "But I'm driving!"

Shang Yu didn't say anything, but slowly turned his head to look at the girl stationed outside the car.

His pupil colour was deep, like an abyss with no visible bottom, and he couldn't see half a bit of emotion.

But his brows were etched with tiredness, even if his expression was cold, Lai Pretty just felt that he seemed to be very tired tonight.

Heart, inexplicably softened a little.

Ri Pretty smacked her tongue, no longer hesitant, leaned over and drilled into the carriage, in the man's deep and dark line of sight, she smoothly pulled the door shut, raising her eyebrows openly, "Then it's a problem for Master Diffractive, I almost forgot that I just drank wine."

The man looked deeply at her, moved his eyes away, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

......

On the first half of the way back to Lai's house from the Nanyang Casino, the carriage was so quiet that only the rustling sound of Shang Yu writing on a document could be heard.

Lai Pretty sat beside him, the same posture, same colour clothing, she sized up the car and leaned against the door to pick up the conversation, "Master Diffractive, I have a question?"

The man's pen tip once again paused, "Ask."

How cold!

Lai Pretty pursed her lips without much care, her eyes fixed on the profile of the man's side face, "I want to know how the marriage between Shang Lu and I actually came about!"

Shang Yu cast a sidelong glance at her, his gaze calm, "Your father didn't tell you?"

"Well, not much was said, I only know that when I was still in my mother's womb, this doll's marriage was set. But Shang Lu is three years older than me, don't you think this doll's marriage is a bit weird?"

A hint of cunning crossed the bottom of Lai Pretty's eyes, and the smile at the corner of her mouth revealed a few hints of loose flirtation.

Shang Yu didn't look at her, but just said in a four-pronged manner, "Since it's going to be dissolved, why care about the origin."

"Well, that makes sense!" Lai Pretty nodded fervently, looking askance at the man's indifferent cheeks, seemingly curious, Xu said, "Then why wasn't it me and you who were betrothed?"

The driver in the front row, almost pissed himself!

The little girl has a lot of guts, daring to make a scene in front of Master Diffractor!

As the driver did not hold the steering wheel steady, the body shook very slightly.

Shang Yu's eyebrows glazed over, raising his eyes to look in the rearview mirror, his words contained a warning, "Watch the road!"

"I'm sorry, master, it won't happen next time!"

Lai Pretty glanced at Shang Yu's slightly displeased expression, and then looked at the driver's frightened appearance, did she ask any death-defying questions? How could she scare the driver like this?
