The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy-Chapter 1057 - Face-to-Face

Lu Huaiyu looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

“Shen Tangtang, is it ‘convenient’ to see me?”

Of course, it was not convenient.

According to tradition, Bansen Hotel was still in charge of tonight’s reception. Shen Li had already seen the relevant procedures before.

The entire hotel was very experienced in this. In addition, this was Shen Li’s first horse race celebration reception after returning to the Gu family. Thus, they were even more cautious and strived to do their best in every segment.

Whether Shen Li came early or not did not really matter.

Lu Huaiyu was obviously aware of this.

He raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to him.

The room door closed behind him with a click.

Lu Huaiyu bent down slightly and looked at her from the same level. He looked into her clear, jet-black eyes and asked with a low smile, “Did you miss me?”

There was nothing wrong with saying that.

She had indeed been thinking about him the entire afternoon.

Hence, Shen Li nodded honestly.

“Yes.”

Lu Huaiyu’s gaze moved down and landed on her moist lips. His gaze was slightly dark.

His warm and powerful palm held the back of her head. He tilted his head and was about to kiss her.

Shen Li suddenly tilted her head back.

He paused and looked up at her. His eyes were filled with unconcealed greed and desire.

He asked in a low voice, “No?”

Shen Li blinked.

“I put on makeup.”

Tonight’s banquet was very grand, so she had deliberately applied some light makeup.

Lu Huaiyu looked down at his watch.

“There’s still half an hour left.”

Shen Li was still unwilling.

If there were any traces left behind… she still had to meet people at night.

Lu Huaiyu looked into her sparkling eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbed as he coaxed her.

“Should I be gentler?”

When Shen Li heard this, she stepped back even more vigilantly.

In this kind of matter, this man had no credibility at all with her.

In the past, she had really believed him, but in the end–

The tip of her ears heated up. She let go of his hand and pushed him further into the room.

“Second Brother, go finish tidying up your things. We’ll go downstairs together later.”

However, when she pushed him, other than his solid and hard abdominal muscles, the man’s feet did not move an inch.

Lu Huaiyu took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. He let her wrap her arms around his slender waist as he looked down at her.

Shen Li subconsciously raised her hand to cover her lips.

Lu Huaiyu stared at her. In the end, he leaned over and kissed her fingertips.

At this distance, they could smell each other’s breath.

When she looked up, she could see the bridge of his straight nose and his slightly drooping black eyelashes.

On her fingers was the cool and soft touch of his lips. It was longing and precious, greedy and restrained.

The fine numbness spread from where he had kissed, mixed with the cool cedar breath on his body, as if even his soul was swaying along with it.

It was clear that he had only kissed her hand.

Shen Li was momentarily caught in a trance.

Could this Lu Huaiyu really be Saint?

Lu Huaiyu had kissed her hand before pulling her into the room.

There was nothing much that he actually need to tidy up, so there was still some time before the banquet. This could be considered a rare opportunity for them to be alone lately.

“What would you like to drink?”

Shen Li sat down on the sofa. When she heard this, she said,”Ice water will do.”

Lu Huaiyu tilted his head and looked at her.

“This won’t do.”

As he said this, he walked to the side and helped her heat up a pot of water.

Shen Li was stunned. “Why not?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will hurt?”

Shen Li reacted for a moment and realized that she was indeed on her period.

“… Oh.”

Lu Huaiyu remembered this more clearly than she did.

She leaned against the sofa and took a pillow from the side and held it in her arms.

The more she suspected and probed, the more absurd that guess seemed to be.

Confused, she mulled over her thoughts in her head and could not help but turn her head to look at him.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, no one would have believed that such a noble and proud man would have this side to him.

Then, Saint– 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

“Second Brother,” she suddenly called out to him.

Lu Huaiyu looked up.

“Hmm?”

Shen Li paused and asked, “I seem to remember that you came back from Bai City three years ago, is that right?”

Lu Huaiyu nodded. “Yes, why?”

Shen Li stared at him, but her tone was casual.

“How many months ago did that happen?”

Lu Huaiyu was helping her get a cup from the side, but when he heard this, he suddenly paused.

“Why did you suddenly think of asking this?”

Shen Li hugged the pillow.

“I’m just a little curious. I heard that when Second Brother returned to the country, several of the professors at Fino Lab were reluctant to part with him.”

Lu Huaiyu put down the cup and said in a casual tone, “August.”

August?

She had gone to Leland in August, and by that time, he had already returned to the country?

However, this was not certain. After all, there were a total of 31 days in August.

Moreover, Bai City was so close to Leland, so it was not necessarily impossible for him to be there.

Shen Li pursed her lips and looked away. She crossed her arms and pressed them on the pillow, her white hands turning her phone.

Lu Huaiyu poured a glass of water for her, and white steam filled the air.

He was silent for a moment before he turned to look at Shen Li.

The young girl was sitting on the sofa, seemingly lost in her thoughts with her phone in her hand.

He looked at her for a while before going over with the glass in his hand.

Hearing his footsteps, her breath also hitched in anticipation.

Then, he bent down slightly and placed the glass of hot water on the coffee table in front of her.

“It’s still a little hot. I’ll drink it later.”

Shen Li’s gaze fell on the glass of water, and then on his slender and well-proportioned hand, his strong and sturdy forearm.

Her heart settled, and she pressed on her phone.

The transaction amount in the afternoon had been received.

She held her breath and tapped on the screen a few more times.

The third payment had been withdrawn.

Almost at the same time, Lu Huaiyu’s phone rang.

Shen Li’s heart jumped, then she slowly looked up–
