PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM III

Chapter 415: Jealous

He was already pissed since his plan of trying to get closer with Su Li had been ruined. Shen Qingyan used such an aggressive tone to question him; hence, Xiao Luo's tone wasn't all that nice either. With just one statement, he completely made Shen Qingyan speechless.

...

After walking into room 1305, Xiao Luo realized that it was a suite. There were a bedroom and a living room. It was pretty spacious, over a hundred square meters, and the decoration in the room was first class. It looked elegant, neat, and grandiose.

The female lawyer's name was Ning Wanxiu. She came here to learn more about the situation regarding Su Xiaobei, so as to better prepare herself for the trial that would be held in two days and gain an early advantage. They continued their discussion, while Xiao Luo went to the bathroom to take a shower. His body had perspired quite a bit after traveling for a long distance—and it felt pretty uncomfortable—so taking a shower was a must for him.

The female lawyer had left by the time he came out.

Shen Qingyan got up, too. Perhaps she could tell she was being a huge light bulb: "I'll take a shower as well. My entire body feels uncomfortable."

She fanned herself and walked towards the bathroom.

Su Li sat on the sofa. To mask her nervousness, she grabbed a book and flipped it over to pretend like she was reading it. Her hair had been let loose, and it flowed down naturally to her waist. It was as if an angel had descended from heaven.

"What this book is about?" Xiao Luo walked over and sat beside her. His nose could easily smell the faint body fragrance coming from this woman's body.

"If you're interested, then look at it yourself." Su Li closed the book and put it to the side.

"But I'm only interested in you now." Xiao Luo raised his hand and held her in his arm.

Su Li panicked a little at the start, but shortly after, like a docile sheep, she lay down in Xiao Luo's arms.

"I said it before, in front of me, you don't have to always put up a brave front. Xiaobei will definitely return to our side," Xiao Luo comforted her and gently patted her on the back.

Su Li was shocked. She didn't imagine that Xiao Luo had already seen through her helplessness. That's right. When the Bai family took Su Xiaobei away, she was helpless, and she even broke down. Su Xiaobei might not be her biological daughter, but she couldn't live without her regardless.

"Hmm..."

She nodded her head gently, closed her eyes, and snuggled in this man's arms. Right now, she was like a small boat that had through stormy waves, but had returned safely to the harbor.

Xiao Luo was already very satisfied just hugging her like that. When he recalled how the both of them first met, it honestly wasn't love at first sight. He only started paying more attention and developed feelings for her after all the things that the both of them had been through. He realized that she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She would often say a whole bunch of insincere stuff, but her concern towards him was genuine.

Perhaps, after what happened to the both of them, Su Li had since treated him as a husband that she would spend her life with. What's funny was that he always thought that she would bring up the topic of divorce eventually and end up with another guy afterwards.

"Seems like they were destined to be with one another!"

Shen Qingyan came out after showering. When she saw the both of them lying on the sofa, she didn't ruin the scene but went back to her bedroom quietly, closing the door as well.
