BXBX NOVEL Chapter 264 Came at the wrong time
Yue Ling looks up at Ning Xingyu and she scoffed inside. Did the man think he was slick? His thoughts were well written on his facial expression.
Glancing down at the food on the table, she thought about the two waiters. At first she was suspicious, because when it comes to eating out with people she doesn’t know, she can’t trust them fully. Coming from the family she was raised, trust was a very difficult thing to find. Who knows what they would put in her food or drink....
However, as she suspected the two waiters, it wasn’t until they left when she noticed one of the waiter’s shoes.
Just one look at those shoes and she knew who it belongs too. If it was not for that reason, she would never have touched the food, let alone drink a sip of water.
She looks back up at Ning Xingyu. She was never one to beat around the bush, so she got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ning, what is your purpose for this meeting? I don’t recall De L’amour ever being in any form of contract with TB Corps."
"..."
Still in a daze, Ning Xingyu was taken back by her sudden words. He clears his throat and smiles.
"You are right, Miss Han. De L’amour and TB Corps have never been in any contract, but I would like to make one in request."
Hearing this, Yue Ling leaned back on her chair. She cross her arms over her chest and nod her head like she was carefully thinking.
"What will benefit me through TB Corps?"
"TB Corps deals with shipments worldwide. If you form an agreement contract with me, it will benefit you the access to all shipping docks."
Ning Xingyu held his chin high and his smile widen.
"With this opportunity, everything you want for De L’amour, my TB Corps can handle for you. I will not ask for anything in return."
Of course, given that he will bed her already, so there won’t be anything to need in return.
Thinking of it, he ever so often glance at Yue Ling. It is only a matter of time before the drug takes it’s effect and knock her out. Once that happens, he will bring her to the room he reserved. As plan, the news reporter Ming Yue spoke of will come in and take pictures of the after scene. Once news spread, the only way out Yue Ling has is to marry him to fix the problem.
Some what oblivious to Ning Xingyu’s plans, Yue Ling did not say a word. She pout her lip and thought about the man’s suggestion.
He is correct about TB Corp’s shipping docks. If she can form a contract with him, the materials needed for her designs will arrive quicker and a lot easier.
However..... she glance at the man and she frown.
Ning Xingyu is not a man of his words. From what she knows about him, he is nothing but a fake. A man full of dark lies.
She, herself has dark secrets, but she is a person of her words. Once she says something, she makes sure that it is fulfilled.
Thinking till there, Yue Ling scoot her chair back and stood from her seat. Was there even anything else to discuss with this kind of person?
"Mr. Ning, I thank you for your generous offer, but I must decline."
Seeing how everything going smoothly suddenly go south, Ning Xingyu’s eyes waiver. A slight panic replace his scheming expression.
"Was my offer not enough? Anything you want, just name it and I will make it happen."
Looking at him, Yue Ling sighed and shook her head, "De L’amour is doing fine. Your offer is not the problem." But you are.
Yue Ling kept the remaining words inside. Their meeting today is business, not pleasure. Even if she spoke those words aloud, it will not benefit her in any way.
"Have a good day, Mr. Ning."
Yue Ling did not want to stay any longer. She only came here because she wanted to find out what Ming Yue plans in inviting TB Corps. Seeing how she’s gotten her answer, she wants to leave and get to work on what’s really important.
Watching his dream woman leave, Ning Xingyu’s eyes dim and his expression turned dark. Never has any woman treat him this way before. All he had to do was say one thing and the woman would fall head over heels for him. Yet....
*Scrrreeeeechh*
He abruptly stood from his chair causing it to scoot back loudly. He strides towards the woman who was about to reach the door and without any warning, he grabs her wrist and force her to turn around. His gentleman demeanor was replaced with an ill temperament.
"Han Yue Ling!"
Yue Ling did not show any sign of fear in her eyes when she heard his tone of voice. She looks at Ning Xingyu with an indifference expression then to her wrist that is being tightly held.
"Mr. Ning, please refrain yourself or else."
Hearing her words, Ning Xingyu let out a low chuckle. Did this woman think he is scared for her threat? When has he ever been afraid of a mere woman? This woman is bound to be his, whether she likes it or not.
"Or else what? What can you do to me?"
Yue Ling felt the man’s hand tighten more around her wrist. It was as if he planned to break her hand, however, was she scared of him? No, she will never lower her head to a person like this.
Her lips parted and her calm angelic voice spoke to the man.
"Mr. Ning, if you don’t want any mishap to happen, I suggest you stop your plan. I have given my word. De L’amour will not be involve with TB Corps."
Finishing her words, she struggles a little to release her hand, however, the more she tries to fight back, Ning Xingyu tightens his grip.
He liked this feeling of the other person feeling weak and vulnerable. It was the best feeling before he can taste her. Plus, it’s been a while since she’s ate the food, the drug should be taking effect right now.
His voice lower and leaned closer to Yue Ling, "You don’t have to pretend. You came here knowing what is going to happen."
Ning Xingyu’s other hand wraps around Yue Ling’s waist. He pulls her closer to him and his face moves closer to hers.
*knock knock*
In that moment, the door push open and the security guard who lead Yue Ling earlier walks in. He froze at the scene in front of him before he clears his throat due to the awkwardness.
"A-hem. Mr. Ning, pardon my intrusion, but—"
"Get lost!"
Ning Xingyu was in rage. He was so close to tasting the lips of his dream woman, yet... this scum of a security actually dare to interrupt. His eyes glare murderously at the man as if wanting to kill him.
"Did you not hear me?! I said get—"
"Mr. Ning, seems like I came at the wrong time."
"...."
A deep and cold voice sounds from behind the security guard as a tall man enters the room. His dark pupils seemed to have turned into the deepest shade of black.
Seeing the man, Ning Xingyu was shocked speechless. Did he have a meeting with this man? How did he know where to find him?
The man’s eyes glance indifferently at Ning Xingyu, then to the man’s hand. In that moment the temperature in the room dropped and everything turned into an icy blizzard. His expression darken making him look like Asura from Hell.
"Move."
Hearing the coldness in the man’s tone, Ning Xingyu robotically did as he was told. He quickly takes a few steps away and force a chuckle.
"It’s not what you think. I was—-"
"Are you alright?"
"..."
Before Ning Xingyu’s words could finish, he was cut off by the man cold voice. It was so cold it sent chills down Ning Xingyu’s spine.
Yue Ling stare at the man and she felt her heart warm. Although she could see the anger in his eyes, she liked the feeling of being protected. She nod her head and faintly smiles.
"I’m alright, Tian."
