Chapter 16
She Hated His Guts!
In the extravagant yet extremely girly bedroom on the second floor of the mansion, Ruan Mengmeng was sprawled on the soft princess bed, hugging her pillow and rolling around as she drowned in regret.
If she had not remembered to control her strength, she might already have torn this large bed, with its pink curtains and soft laced down blankets, to pieces.
She regretted it so, so much…
How could she have gotten carried away and promised Mom she would stay?!
Ruan Mengmeng was filled to the brim with regret now, but she could not steel her heart to go back on her promise, so all she could do was vent on the bed alone.
Just then, a cold and deep voice suddenly spoke above her head.
“Are you done with your rolling about? If you are, come down for dinner…”
Ruan Mengmeng stiffened instantly, as though a spell had been cast on her.
After a long while, she finally recovered enough to turn her head and look at the source of the voice with relative composure.
Li Junyu had taken off his suit, so now he was wearing a white shirt and black slacks. Looking lazy yet elegant, he stood by her bed, looking at her coldly.
He looked like a handsome and graceful leopard, but Ruan Mengmeng knew that this was just an illusion.
Although this man stood casually and looked casual, the aura he was emanating was tinged with an inexplicable sense of danger.
Just like a leopard, he looked graceful, but he secretly hid a sharpness that could kill his prey in an instant.
Faced with a man like him, Ruan Mengmeng only admired his looks from a distance.
If she tried to approach a man like this, she was afraid he would end up selling her off before she even got to know him better.
She sat up and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes with some displeasure. “First Young Master Li, thank you for coming here to call me for dinner. Still, shouldn’t you knock before coming into my room? I’m a girl, after all… If I just happened to be changing my clothes, wouldn’t you end up seeing my entire body?”
Li Junyu’s black eyes deepened slightly, and he looked her up and down, making no attempt to hide the contempt in his gaze.
His gaze seemed to be saying that he was not interested in her body whatsoever.
“I did knock,” the man said coolly. “As for you…”
Li Junyu took a step forth and bent down, his ink-like pupils reflecting Ruan Mengmeng’s fair and smooth face.
“I don’t care.
“I told you before, I’m in charge of you from now on. Father entrusted you to me, so you’d best not cause me any trouble. I won’t ask what happened to you in the Ruan Family, but now that you’ve joined the Li Family, I won’t allow you to try any stunts like that again.”
The man’s thin lips slowly drawled out that lazy and mesmerizing warning, one word at a time.
His features, magnified before her eyes, were still incomparably handsome and flawless.
His voice was still the same sexy tone that could impregnate her ears with a single sentence.
However, Ruan Mengmeng could not feel the slightest bit excited right now.
When he stared at her with his cool black eyes like arctic abyssal pools, all she could feel was a terrifying tremor, as though she had sunk into the bottomless ocean.
Anyone else would probably be shaking like a newborn chick by now.
Nevertheless, she was Ruan Mengmeng, the daughter of the Ruan Family who was known to never back down from a hard place. She may be moved by reason, but never by force.
Although her heart was already shaking like a leaf, she still puffed up her cheeks and stared back at him.
“What… kind of evil stunt did I pull at the Ruan Family?”
Ruan Mengmeng frowned deeply. Just then, she thought that Ruan Junyu found out about how she had ‘pushed’ Qin Fang down the stairs.
She bit her bottom lip and held back her unhappiness. “You don’t know anything at all… I didn’t push my stepmother down the stairs. I was the victim there! She…”
“I’m talking about the marks on your body.” There was a faint edge of impatience in the man’s cold voice.
The maids who had helped Ruan Mengmeng change had long since reported her condition to him.
He really, really did not want to have to keep an eye on a problematic student like her, who constantly repeated her schooling years.
“The m-marks…?!” Ruan Mengmeng froze on the spot.
A long few seconds later, she finally screamed. “Aahh—
“You perv, you big pervert! Get the heck out!”
