Chapter 1027: He Yidu The Gentleman (The Refined Rascal)
He Yidu took a few steps forward and heard Lin Shuang's slightly suppressed tone which was angry.
"I told you that I won't be going! If you ask me a hundred times, I'd still give you the same answer!"
"Sure, I'd like to see how the President of Country D is going to kidnap the bridesmaid of the wife of the Lu family's patriarch, the Head of the Council of Jijing Island in the capital."
"You're right. You don't have what it takes to mess with Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang."
"Stop annoying me!"
This was the last sentence that He Yidu heard. Lin Shuang hung up.
He walked into the male restroom and thought about what Lin Shuang had said.
The President of Country D, Meyett, brought his wife and daughter to the wedding today. When the bridesmaids and groomsmen were toasting, the look in Lin Shuang's eyes was indeed a bit strange.
There were too many things going on at that moment so He Yidu did not pay much attention to it.
What was Lin Shuang's relationship with the president of Country D?
Return? Return to Country D?
From the look of it, their relationship seems to be quite deep.
He Yidu and Qin Fang checked Lin Shuang's information before and it was very clean. Even now, they only knew Lin Shuang's code name in the Shadow League: Nine Tails.
They knew nothing about Lin Shuang's identity and background.
When He Yidu came out from the bathroom, he passed by the small terrace again and Lin Shuang was still standing there.
She looked down and smoked, as if she was very frustrated.
He Yidu stood still for about two seconds, then he walked over and leaned against the railings like she did.
Lin Shuang turned to look at him. The man wore very thin clothes and she scolded him, "Are you crazy? Why are you out here in the cold breeze when you're just wearing a shirt?"
He Yidu answered indifferently, "Well, there's a volcano right beside me. It's not very cold."
Lin Shuang looked at his sleek side profile. After a long time, she smiled. It seemed like she no longer felt as annoyed as before. She flicked the ashes aside and said, "Go in, I'm a volcano that can't warm you up. If I erupt, I will burn you very badly."
He Yidu didn't respond to that. Instead, he asked, "Are you very frustrated?"
Lin Shuang pursed her lips and looked into the distance in the night. She gave a long sigh and said meaningfully, "Oh, men… Frustrating."
Men?
Meyett?
He Yidu recalled her phone conversation.
Lin Shuang would never have any strange relationship with the president of Country D, it was unlike her.
He Yidu couldn't figure out what their relationship was so he just asked directly. "Can I take you somewhere?"
Lin Shuang gave him a confused look.
"Aren't you frustrated?" He Yidu took out his car keys and waved them with his pointer finger. "I'll take you out for a drive."
Lin Shuang was stunned. "Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when we get there." He Yidu turned around and walked.
Lin Shuang watched his back and stood in place for a few seconds. Then, she followed him hesitantly.
He Yidu went to the cabin to get his coat first.
When Ji Heng saw his actions, he asked, "Brother Du, are you leaving?"
"Yeah," He Yidu responded, "I have something on." He pointed his chin at the people who were having fun. "Let them know."
Ji Heng looked at him meaningfully for a few seconds, then nodded. "Alright."
…
Lin Shuang pushed the door open and got out of the car. She looked at the magnificent shopping malls in front of her and folded her arms.
He understood her rather well. He knew what relaxation meant to her.
He Yidu walked beside Lin Shuang and handed her a bank card. "Use it, no limit."
Lin Shuang's arms were crossed and when she heard that, she raised her brows. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I want you to be happy. Spending the money of others makes one happier." He Yidu pushed the card into her hand. "Go and spend, I'm leaving now."
"What?" Lin Shuang could barely respond to his nonsense. "You gave me a card, and you want me to go shopping on my own?"
Shouldn't he be the one accompanying her?
He Yidu turned around halfway and looked at her from the side. "Then what?"
He pointed at himself. "Single man." Then he pointed at her, "Someone's fiancée."
Lin Shuang was quiet.
"It's not really right of me to accompany someone's fiancée out for shopping." He Yidu said.
Lin Shuang was speechless, but she finally made out some words. "Y-You're… quite a gentleman."
He Yidu smiled, "Gotta go."
"Hey." Lin Shuang walked over to him and returned the card to him. "I'm not buying anything, I'll treat you to some drinks. Let's look for a random food stall which is crowded, so it doesn't ruin the reputation of the Seventh Young Master He."
He Yidu hesitated for a moment.
"Are you worried even in a crowded place?" Lin Shuang never thought that He Yidu would be such a clean gentleman. "Or do you look down on food stalls by the road?"
"Nah." He Yidu spoke. "Alright, where shall we go?"
