Chapter 1400: Chapter 1401: Caught in the Act by Him

Scum like this should have his reputation ruined and never have the chance to deceive anyone again. Otherwise, who knows how many unsuspecting girls will be fooled by his handsome exterior.

I wonder how many of his fans think they’re following someone who’s both good-looking and virtuous, only to find out he’s a morally decrepit scumbag!

She needed to find the videos involving the Lemon boss, so she reluctantly fast-forwarded and watched each video closely...

Fortunately, aside from the intimate scenes between Gu Zekai and some unknown girls, there were also some small clips meant for male enjoyment.

After watching three videos, Rong Yan felt so nauseous she wanted to vomit.

She sent Gu Linxi a message, then got up to make herself a cup of coffee.

Just as she poured the coffee beans in and leaned against the kitchen counter to yawn, she heard the sound of the front door opening.

What sound?

Did he come back?

Rong Yan pricked up her ears, but heard no other sounds.

It was so quiet outside, as if the door opening she heard was just an auditory hallucination!

Having made her coffee, she walked out with a frown, cup in hand, and as she stepped out of the kitchen, she saw the man standing still by the couch, staring intently at her laptop.

"You’re back?" Startled by the sight of the familiar figure, Rong Yan showed a delighted expression and walked over, saying, "I’ve made you some Stomach Soup, do you want to drink some before taking a shower?"

Li Shengxiao’s eyes were glued to her laptop without a hint of moving away. After a moment, his thin lips pursed, he lifted his eyes to glance at her briefly, and spoke with a complex tone, "You... like to watch these?"

Rong Yan, still confused, asked, "What things?"

The noble-looking man pointed at her laptop.

"Ah ah ah!" Only then did Rong Yan remember what was on her laptop. Her face immediately turned bright red, even her ears felt embarrassingly hot. She put down the coffee cup, dashed in two or three steps, and quickly closed the laptop. After swallowing her saliva, she awkwardly explained, "That, it’s not what you think. There’s a reason for it."

Li Shengxiao knew she didn’t have that kind of interest or hobby. He sat down wearily on the couch, leaned his back against the cushion, revealing his extraordinarily handsome face. He grunted, taking off his jacket, then looked at Rong Yan, his deep eyes unfathomable, "What reason?"

Rong Yan: "..."

She struggled internally for a moment, then relented, deciding to be lenient with a confession and strict with a resistance. She met the eyes of the deep and elegant man and confessed honestly, "These things were hacked from someone else’s computer by Gu Linxi. I needed to find a certain small video. That’s why I must watch all these videos."

The man with crossed legs sitting on the couch showed no emotional fluctuations, as if her explanation was not at all surprising to him.

Rong Yan took a deep breath and decided to come clean, figuring it would be better than resisting. She told him about the encounter at Lan Feng tonight in full detail.

After explaining everything, she added, "I had no choice, I had to solve this thorny issue. Otherwise, Lemon Entertainment won’t be free to collaborate with us. The proposal was put together by Estelle and all the company staff working overtime. If it fails, it would be a huge blow to them. As the boss, I must find a way to inspire my team. Since there was no one else for the job, I had to step up and handle it myself."

"No one else for the job, so you have to step up and handle it?" His voice was apparently calm, but Rong Yan could sense an undercurrent of turmoil.

She quickly grabbed the hands of the irritated man, explaining, "I didn’t do anything; I just played a few rounds of dice with them. I’ve learned how to throw dice, I can roll any number I want. As long as I don’t want to lose, I won’t. The game was just a convenient way to extract information. It was hard, with Gu Zekai being so guarded all the time, practically staying in these days. I finally got a chance to run into him, and if I didn’t seize the opportunity, I didn’t know when I would get another..."

Even if she encountered him again, she might not get as good an opportunity to make him let down his guard and answer such sensitive questions.

Gu Zekai was no fool either.

If it weren’t for Chen Anchen’s inadvertent assistance tonight, she wouldn’t have been able to extract so much information.

Plus, the ambiance was just right since everyone was playing games together and she asked a few questions; otherwise, he surely wouldn’t have let down his guard to honestly answer her questions.

At the beginning, when Gu Zekai was still on guard, she only asked if he liked men, and didn’t he remain silent for a long time?

It showed that she had been lucky tonight, having stumbled upon Chen Anchen, who unwittingly betrayed Gu Zekai thoroughly.

Rong Yan snapped back to reality, suddenly looking at him with speechless eyes, "Are you saying that when you were at Lan Feng, you recognized me from the start?"

Li Shengxiao suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap, his voice husky as he closed in, "Do you think I would drink to your toast or give you my phone number if I hadn’t recognized you?"

"This... Who knows? Maybe you were attracted on impulse," she said, though her eyes were already laughing honestly, her crescent-shaped eyes a stark contrast to the seductive imp from earlier in the evening.

"You’re right; it was indeed attraction on impulse!"

She was the only one in the world who could make him feel an impulse of attraction, loss of control; all his pride in self-discipline completely collapsed!

Li Shengxiao lifted his head, released her, and pushed her back against the edge of the couch again. Any lower and Rong Yan wouldn’t be able to hold on; she would fall. To prevent herself from falling, she had to wrap her arms around his waist and dared not let go.

"You’re not allowed to go to the bar dressed like that again."

The man’s domineering gaze, from his higher position, was filled with possessiveness, not giving her any chance to avoid, his hand pressing down on hers around his waist, almost making her breath falter again.
