Chapter 172: Is Luoluo Praising Me?
The PK lasted from 9:30 in the morning until 6:30 in the evening.
Chu Luo went from defeating the 10th place to defeating the second place.
After she had successfully taken over the second place, everyone’s emotions reached an uncontrollable frequency.
When [Y] entered the PK arena, the entire world’s “Battle of Lightyears” gaming zone exploded.
Unexpectedly, [Y] didn’t accept the PK challenge. Instead, he typed a row of words.
[Y]: “I don’t bully women. You fought with nine people today. In the interim, you ate only one meal and drank a bit of water. Even a man can’t withstand such an intense PK. I’m not so petty and ungentlemanly.”
[Y]: “Tomorrow at ten o’clock, I accept your PK challenge.”
With that, he actually went offline.
Everyone: “…”
Tang Zhiyun and the others, who had come here at noon, were worried that Chu Luo wouldn’t be able to stand it if she kept playing against these experts. But seeing the words [Y] had typed out…
Xie Minghai couldn’t help but laugh. “[Y] isn’t bad. To think he’s being considerate that Junior would be tired, unlike those who make sarcastic remarks and can’t wait for Junior to lose in whichever match.”
Everyone knew what had been said online and what [Bai Ling] had said. They were still angry about this matter.
Coincidentally, Chu Luo had just turned off the video and hadn’t turned off the microphone yet. Tang Zhiyun said directly, “What [Bai Ling] said is what we wanted to say too. Don’t think that we can’t find you just because some people are hiding behind their computers. As a member of the Computer Science Department of Imperial University, we will never embarrass our teacher.”
Yu Lei added, “That’s right. Haters, you’d better cover up your IP addresses. Our partner should rest now. Next, it’s our turn to go on stage. We will look at all the posts. As long as we discover anyone who had dared to defame her during the PK between [Bai Ling] and the nine experts, we will directly expose them.”
Wang Mingtao, who was sitting opposite them, couldn’t help but give them a thumbs up.
Chu Luo turned off the microphone.
She turned around and looked at the angry boys.
Tang Zhiyun looked worried. “Junior, go and eat first. After that, you can go rest. Leave the rest to us.”
The other boys nodded in agreement.
Xie Minghai said, “Junior, you’re too bold today. You actually challenged nine of the top ten experts in the world. Maybe you’ve already become a legend in many people’s hearts.”
Wang Mingtao was browsing the World Forum when he answered, “Not only that, many people on the World Forum are calling Sister Chu ‘Daddy.’”
At this moment, the Internet exploded:
“I just want to say: [Bai Ling], please accept my knees. I’ve been sitting in front of my computer since [Bai Ling] had started PKing nine of the top ten. Many times, I’d felt like my heart was about to jump out. I’ve never seen such brilliant nine matches. I think I won’t be able to see such again.”
“Previously, I thought that anyone who defeats anyone on the world ranking would be an incredible player. Now, [Bai Ling] is using facts to tell me that she is not only an incredible player, but she is also a fighter jet among incredible players.”
“I’m convinced. I’ve been staring at [Bai Ling]’s hands for the past eight to nine hours. That speed isn’t something ordinary people can compare to.”
“From now on, [Bai Ling] will be my daddy. I’m willing to kneel down and sing ‘Conquer'[1] to her.”
“Recalling what she said first, I feel that her arrogance matches her ability very well. [Bai Ling] has the right to be this arrogant.”
“If anyone really wants to defame my goddess at this time, I’ll be the first to beat him to death when I see him.”
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
…
At this moment, they were already sitting at the dining table.
The housekeeper was serving them food and setting up the dishes.
When they saw a bowl and chopsticks beside Chu Luo, everyone looked at the housekeeper strangely.
Wang Mingtao even joked, “Did you set up an extra set of chopsticks?”
The housekeeper was actually stunned by his question. “Just now, a Mr. Bodyguard came over to tell me to place an extra pair.”
The housekeeper had just finished speaking when there was a commotion by the door. Li Yan pushed the door open and walked in.
“Brother Chu.”
The five boys greeted him at the same time.
Wang Mingtao smiled and said, “Brother Chu, you came at the right time. We were just about to eat.”
Li Yan nodded at him and said to the boys, “Eat.”
The boys obeyed and started eating.
Chu Luo bit her chopsticks and tilted her head to look at him.
Li Yan suddenly picked up a piece of her favorite food and placed it in her bowl.
With a serious expression, he said, “I’ll stay here tonight. You’re not allowed to use your hands again at night.”
Chu Luo widened her eyes and looked at him, thinking in dissatisfaction, ‘How dare you interfere with me.’
At this moment, Xie Minghai smiled and said, “Brother Chu, it’s good that you’re here. We were just feeling afraid that Junior wouldn’t listen to us. She’s been challenging others today. She must be tired.”
Chu Luo replied in dissatisfaction, “I’m not tired.”
“You are!” the boys retorted at the same time.
Chu Luo glared at them.
Li Yan scooped another bowl of soup for her and placed it beside her to cool before saying to them, “You can go back to your guest room to play games tonight.”
The boys immediately nodded and thought, “Since Brother Chu is disciplining Junior, we shouldn’t stay here and watch. This way, we can save some face for Junior.”
Wanting to save face for Chu Luo, the boys returned to their guest room after dinner.
Chu Luo sat on the sofa and looked at Li Yan, who was also sitting over.
Li Yan said, “If you’re bored, you can listen to a lecture.”
After saying that, he stood up and went to the room where he was staying. He took out his tablet and prepared to work.
Chu Luo was displeased. ‘If you won’t let me play with the computer, don’t even think about using it yourself.’
At the thought of this, she pressed her hand on his keyboard and said arrogantly, “You’re not allowed to work.”
Li Yan looked at her fair and slender finger and reached out to hold it.
“What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t want me to work? I’ll accompany you.” As he spoke, he didn’t let go of her hand but placed the laptop aside.
Chu Luo’s petite hand was enclosed within a broad palm. She could feel the heat from his palm, and this made her face flush unconsciously. She tried to pull her hand out. “Why are you grabbing my hand when you’re only accompanying me? Besides… I don’t want you to accompany me.”
Li Yan held her hand tightly and wrapped his other hand around her back to hold her waist.
Chu Luo was vigilant this time. As soon as she realized his intention, she immediately got up.
She pointed at his nose and scolded in a delicate voice, “Big baddie, you’re trying to take advantage of me again.”
When Li Yan heard this, the corners of his lips curled up. He leaned back on the sofa and reached out to undo the top button of his shirt. When his healthy and strong skin was revealed, he said with a relaxed expression, “You can take advantage of me.”
Chu Luo was stunned by Li Yan’s words.
“You… you’re shameless!”
With that, she walked towards her bedroom.
Li Yan didn’t stand up to chase after her but said from behind her, “Secretary Tan has already allocated the stakes you’d asked for. Do you want to hear how much you can get?”
Chu Luo stopped in her tracks. She was a little tempted, but thinking that even if he didn’t say anything, she would know tomorrow or in two days, she said, “No.”
Then, she continued walking.
Li Yan looked at her back and said calmly, “Previously, you wanted to get your hands on the Lausannes’ cosmetics company. I already had someone buy 50% of the shares yesterday.”
Chu Luo finally stopped and quickly turned to look at Li Yan, a little unhappy.
This person wanted to snatch her business?
Li Yan continued, “I’m not interested in this company. If you want, I can sell it to you at the purchase price. Do you want to discuss this?”
Chu Luo walked back and sat in an armchair beside him. She said, “Yes.”
Li Yan’s smile widened.
Chu Luo added, “I’ll go rest after we’re done talking.”
“Okay. The price I purchased it at was ten yuan per share. In total, there are…”
“Wait, you bought it at ten yuan per share?”
Chu Luo was shocked. “I bought them for 15 yuan back then.”
“That’s the difference between businessmen and laymen.”
Chu Luo wasn’t convinced. “Hmph! You’re a cunning one.”
“Is Luoluo praising me?”
“Who’s praising you?”
Chu Luo realized that this man was becoming more and more shameless in front of her.
Not wanting to talk to him about anything else, she said directly, “I’ll just give you as much money as you spent.”
“Then what do you plan to do next? Who will manage this company and who will receive the formula? Will you come over often afterward?”
“…”
As a High Priestess, when had she ever thought twice about these secular world things?!
Chu Luo frowned and was really vexed.
After a while, Li Yan asked in a casual tone, “I brought a few jars of high-quality wine with me. Do you want to think about what to do next while drinking?”
Chu Luo nodded without thinking. “Yes.”
Li Yan took out his phone and dialed a number.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. He stood up and opened the door, only to see three bodyguards standing there with several bottles of wine.
“Put it inside.”
At Li Yan’s signal, the bodyguards placed them on the coffee table and left.
Chu Luo’s gaze remained fixed on the alcohol that the bodyguards had brought in.
Once they put down the wine jars, she immediately took one to open the lid.
“Smells good. What wine is this? Why didn’t I discover it in your wine cellar last time?”
“This is strong alcohol placed deep in the wine cellar. See if you can drink it.”
“What can’t I drink?”
After saying that, Chu Luo went to get a glass, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip.
After she finished drinking, she paused and looked at Li Yan in surprise.
