Chapter 23
Young Master Li, You’re Scaring Your Wife!
Without saying a word, Li Junyu continued to stare at Ruan Mengmeng with his icy cold eyes.
Although he did not say anything, his imperious aura was so overwhelming that he could easily make anyone bow and kneel on their knees.
Just when Ruan Mengmeng met his gaze, she felt a chill in her heart followed by a wave of fear and guilt that she found hard to control.
She was not sure why she was feeling guilty, but the longer she looked into Li Junyu’s deep, dark eyes, the more she felt so.
It was as if… As if she had done something wrong to him.
‘Ah, this is what fear feels like.’
Throughout the 19 years of her life, the person whose aura alone could make her feel inferior was no other but her sister’s, Ruan Shishi.
She could be fearless in front of everybody else, but she would feel like a scolded child in front of her sister.
Now, it seemed that there would be one more person who could suppress her.
Sure enough, her sister was right. A person’s aura was way more powerful than one’s fists.
Besides that, she was not so confident that she could beat Li Junyu in a fistfight either.
“I… I heard what you said just now…” As the saying goes, ‘a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him’. Ruan Mengmeng decided to accept her defeat.
She bit her lower lip.
This was what she does subconsciously whenever she was feeling nervous.
However, this habit of hers was seen from a different perspective in the eyes of Li Junyu.
Li Junyu was still staring at her imperiously.
He saw the young girl’s hazel eyes blinking at him with a hint of helplessness.
Li Junyu’s dark eyes seemed to darken even more.
His icy eyes seemed to narrow into slits and suddenly, one could feel a sense of danger that could not be ignored.
Almost instinctively, Ruan Mengmeng could not help but lean backward slightly.
However, the edge of the desk against her waist reminded her that she could not back up anymore.
“Do-don’t be mad… I told you just now, I’ll listen to whatever you say. I’ll be a good girl…”
It was as though Ruan Mengmeng’s animal instincts told her to beg for mercy.
She did not have a mother since young, and her sister Ruan Shishi had been abroad for years. In order for her to grow up peacefully in the Ruan family, she relied not only on her brute strength and luck but also on her keen eye for danger.
Although Li Junyu who was standing in front of her looked perfectly calm apart from the icy cold stare, Ruan Mengmeng clearly felt that there was a storm raging inside him that she could not possibly overcome.
“Good…” After a long silence, Li Junyu finally spoke.
He looked at her with his icy cold eyes and said in a dangerously low voice, “Remember what you said just now so that you won’t regret later.”
He then turned around and left after saying those words.
Phew…
After seeing that Li Junyu’s imperious aura had vanished, Ruan Mengmeng placed her hand on the table and breathed out a sigh of relief.
‘This is crazy. How could there be such a person?!’
Ruan Mengmeng had never been suppressed mentally like this by anyone before.
However, when she was looking into Li Junyu’s piercing cold eyes, she felt fear in every inch of her body and soul.
He was so terrifying!
Ruan Mengmeng made up her mind: she would take a detour whenever she sees Li Junyu in the future. She would never dare to provoke a man like him!
