How could this hooligan be this heartless? How could she bear to leave him outside?

Lu Yinan chided Zhou Shuang under his breath. At this time, the phone inside his pocket rang. His eyes gleamed in excitement.

‘Could it be Shuang? Did she call to shower concerns?’ Lu Yinan wondered to himself.

Young Master Lu whipped out his phone, but the next moment, disappointment streaked past his eyes. It was Ming Ansheng.

He answered brusquely, “What?”

He sounded impatient and unhappy.

Young Master Ming further rubbed salt into his wounds. “Why? You failed despite harassing her?”

He was quite certain.

Lu Yinan snapped in an annoyed tone. “Yeah, I failed. Your woman must be gloating.”

Ming Ansheng replied, “My Yueyue empathizes with you.”

Lu Yinan sneered coldly. “Your Yueyue? Aren’t you shameless! Have you registered your marriage or held a wedding? Did she acknowledge you?”

Young Master Ming sighed to himself, and in an understanding manner, he replied, “If it makes you feel better, then the answer is no.”

He sounded as though he was boasting and it made Lu Yinan even more frustrated. “If there is nothing else, hang up now.”

His frustration didn’t deter Ming Ansheng’s mood and interest. Ming Ansheng quipped, “I called to check on your progress and to shower you with concern.”

Who asked Lu Yinan to mock and tease him when he kept flying to Country M every week? He would make condescending remarks and mock him. And it was true that karma goes around.

Ming Ansheng was merely paying him back in his own coin. And it left Lu Yinan speechless. He bluntly replied, “No progress at all. I’ve stood outside her house for two hours and she didn’t even bother. I think she is asleep now.”

He hurriedly added, “This isn’t the most vexing thing right now.”

It piqued Ming Ansheng’s inquisitiveness. “What is it?”

Lu Yinan replied, “There is a man inside her house.”

Night had fallen and there was a man inside. Even if he ate sleeping pills, he wouldn’t be able to sleep in peace.

“What?! A man?” Ming Ansheng was shocked.

Lu Yinan frowned and replied, “Yeah. How could I leave in this situation?”

Ming Ansheng asked, “Do you know this man?”

“I have no idea,” Lu Yinan replied gloomily. “She refused to let me in. If this building wasn’t so tall, I would have climbed in through the window.”

When he mentioned climbing through the windows, Ming Ansheng turned serious. He warned him, “Don’t joke with your life. Think wisely.”

Irritated, Lu Yinan replied, “Alright got it. I’m hanging up. I need a cigarette before I continue to knock.”

“All right then.”

Young Master Ming ceased his mocking.

After hanging up, Lu Yinan stowed his phone in his pocket. He felt for his cigarette case, but he had left it inside his car. He was really feeling despondent right now. If he didn’t take a puff, he might really climb through the window.

He decided to go to his car.

When the elevator came, he entered and it stopped at the basement carpark. His car was parked right across the opposite of the elevator.

He strode over and opened his car door. He sat in the driver’s seat and fumbled for his cigarettes. He lit one up and took a puff.
