Chapter 4: Too Huge a Contrast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The policeman who was attending to her replied, “No, the person he hit is still in the police station. The other party has strongly requested Lu Zhanbei to apologize. You’d better persuade him to apologize and settle for a reconciliation.”
Tong Yi nodded. “Alright, I will do my best.”
The police brought Tong Yi to Lu Zhanbei’s room and left.
Tong Yi raised her hand and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside. She knocked again and a deep voice filled with hostility yelled from inside, “Get lost!”
Tong Yi frowned slightly. Lu Zhanbei was not one to speak so rashly. Could it be that the police had brought her to the wrong room?
She wanted to confirm with the police whether the person in this room was Lu Zhanbei but there were no police officers to be found anywhere along the corridor.
‘Forget it, I’ll just go in and check it out myself.’
Tong Yi pushed open the door. The room was not big and the decor was simple. There was a leather sofa, a glass coffee table, and two armchairs.
The person sitting in the middle of the sofa was indeed Lu Zhanbei.
He was lazing on the sofa with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed casually on the coffee table. His eyes were closed as if he had fallen asleep.
His suit jacket was placed on the armrest of the sofa and two buttons of his ash-gray shirt were undone. His collar was slightly askew and his sexy collarbone was faintly discernible. He exuded an indescribable sense of arrogance, yet he looked so d*mn charming.
Perhaps the sound of the door opening had disturbed his sleep. He frowned slightly but did not open his eyes. In an extremely impatient tone, he scolded, “Don’t you understand human language? Get lost!”
Tong Yi stood stunned at the door, her face full of shock.
In real life, Lu Zhanbei was refined and gentle. However, this Lu Zhanbei in front of her exuded a dark arrogance.
The contrast between the two was too great. Tong Yi was afraid that she had made a mistake and her eyes widened slightly.
His figure and appearance were exactly the same. It was indeed Lu Zhanbei.
Could it be that he was in a bad mood after being arrested?
Curious that he didn’t hear any footsteps, Lu Zhanbei opened his eyes and looked over at her. When he saw her, a hint of surprise flashed past his initially fierce and dark eyes. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his original state. “Why are you here?”
Tong Yi came back to her senses and suppressed the doubts in her heart. She walked in but didn’t sit down. From across the glass coffee table, she stood in front of Lu Zhanbei. “I’m here to save you.”
Lu Zhanbei was slightly stunned. Then, he retracted his long legs from the coffee table and stood up. His gaze swept across Tong Yi and studied her.
The woman was wearing an ankle-length white gown, with a mink shawl of the same color draped across her shoulders, revealing her exquisitely beautiful collarbone. Her skin was as fair as a hard-boiled egg that had just been peeled. Her facial features were exquisite, and she had light makeup on. She was stunningly beautiful.
Tong Yi frowned slightly. In real life, Lu Zhanbei’s gaze had been gentle and polite, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze. He was definitely not as bold, direct, and aggressive as he was now, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Lu Zhanbei leaned over slightly, his gaze level with Tong Yi’s. “This isn’t the wedding hall. Are you sure you didn’t come to the wrong place?”
Lu Zhanbei suddenly leaned toward her. Although there was a coffee table between the two of them, he was tall and had long legs. The coffee table seemed to be non-existent. Their faces were less than ten centimeters apart. Tong Yi subconsciously took a few steps back. “No.”
Lu Zhanbei’s eyes were filled with interest. He stood up straight and walked around the coffee table to Tong Yi’s side. “Are you here to save me?”
“Mm.” Tong Yi felt that the temperament Lu Zhanbei exuded was too overbearing. When she stood next to him, she felt as if she couldn’t breathe. She shifted two steps to the side, creating some distance between them.
Lu Zhanbei took two steps closer to Tong Yi. “Why are you running away?”
