Chapter 272

Fang Chixia counted the missed calls, a total of six of which were all from Luo Yibei.

Fang Chixia stared dazedly at the missed calls record and then looked up at him in bewilderment.

Was he worried about her, or was it because she was with Fei Si Nuo?

“Did you stay inside all this time?” Luo Yibei remained detached as he asked again.

His wintry tone from beginning to end and chilly eyes that flayed her upfront drove her back unconsciously.

She tried to open up a space between them and considered her wording. She explained herself, “When I arrived at noon, there was a bit of a problem so he didn’t sign the contract. After Fei Si Nuo went busy, I waited outside for him for a long time.”

Luo Yibei blinked and on hand rested on the side of her body. In the same flat tone, he asked, “Why didn’t you walk away?”

He asked so perfunctorily as if the matter had no relevance to his own interests.

Fang Chixia’s brows knitted at this question. She snarled in disbelief, “Wasn’t this for your family? Wouldn’t it be a pity to bury the friendly relations that have been built up over the years?”

She snapped back quite loudly and Luo Yibei who was inexplicably yelled at assumed an stunned expression.

Fang Chixia who was still immersed on her outburst, after she finished, again came back to Earth, realizing what she had done. She turned her head on the side awkwardly and pushed him as if nothing has happened, “Let go.”

Luo Yibei glanced at the hand on his chest, but instead of brushing it away, he captured it instead.

Fang Chixia stiffened and pulled her wrist back. However, Luo Yibei tightened his hold and refused to let go.

“For the Luo Family?” He leaned closer and cocked a brow.

Fang Chixia was well too aware that he didn’t like her involving herself with the Luo Family too much so she quickly changed her tone, “I was just in charge. I won’t do so again next time.”

She kept her eyes on Luo Yibei’s face quietly observing him, thinking that he would again misunderstand her.

Who knew that he would face her haughtily and even proudly return, “The Luo’s way is never an insult. If you ever encounter similar matters, just turn around and leave”.

Fang Chixia was startled, somewhat astonished at the absence of his usual cynicism.

Luo Yibei took another lingering look at her face. Compared with a moment ago, his stance has somewhat eased but his arrogant remark was further supplemented, “This kind of thing won’t be considered a pity for the Luo Family!”

Luo Yibei withdrew from her and then turned to leave. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned back.

Fang Chixia was just ready to straighten up, but due to his sudden move, was again pressed back. She eyed him with vigilance, curious at this behavior.

“Right.” Luo Yibei stretched out his long arm, took her phone from her hand and then helped her adjust the mute into her ringtone. Then, he spat out another command, “In the future, your phone must remain open 24 hours all the time!”

His overbearing comand, in their current posture, it would be disadvantageous for Fang Chixia to rebut. So, she could only passively nod, “I know.”

Luo Yibei was quite satisfied with her answer. One hand that was holding her waist pulled her up.

He opened the door and then walked to the other side. Fang Chixia followed suit and the two drove back to the villa afterwards.
