The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 177 Adventure
This time, Lin Chen wasn't in such a hurry to take what he wanted from her. He gently took back the initiative, softly kissing her lips, chin, cheeks, neck, earlobes, and collarbone...

He had never been so gentle before.

Lu Siqi felt his kiss as light as a feather caressing her skin, a slightly tingling sensation. "Mmm..."

Her fingers danced through his hair, enjoying his tender affection. At this moment, Lu Siqi felt an unprecedented happiness.

Her lips unconsciously parted.

Lin Chen looked up and saw the smile on her lips, then gently kissed her lips again. "Is five hundred million enough?"

"..." Lu Siqi opened her eyes, biting her lip somewhat shyly, "Could you please not be so nice to me?"

"If I'm not good to you, who am I good to?" Lin Chen gently stroked her messy hair, looking at her intently. "I owe you too much when I was in Bangnan. You can take my kindness to you as making up for all the mistakes I made in Bangnan, and you can also enjoy being pampered by me as a matter of course, because you are my only woman, Lin Chen."

One unique statement is worth more than many declarations of love.

Lu Siqi's throat suddenly felt dry, and she felt like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Lin Chen's tenderness at that moment did indeed make her temporarily forget what that woman had said.

……

At 8:30 p.m., Lu Siqi and Lin Chen finished dinner in the living room and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the night view outside. Her phone vibrated and it was a video call from Sheng Huai'an.

Lin Chen saw it, but turned his back and pretended not to see it.

Lu Siqi knew that for a proud man like him to compromise and allow her to marry Sheng Huai'an was enough to show that his bottom line was constantly being lowered.

He began to respect himself and stopped being unconventional.

Then shouldn't we respect him?

After declining Sheng Huai'an's call invitation, Lu Siqi turned off her phone and threw it on the sofa. She hugged Lin Chen from behind, pressed her face against his back, and felt his body temperature. "Lin Chen, back in Bangnan, I really did like you, really liked you."

Lin Chen felt as if a thorn was stuck in his throat, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Because this woman said she had liked someone...

The word "过" (guo) means that the liking is already in the past.

Ultimately, it was because he didn't know how to cherish it back then.

What Lin Chen couldn't understand was that even though he had been trying to change himself after returning to China and had even tried various methods to win her back, and he could feel from Lu Siqi's eyes that she still had feelings for him, why was she still unwilling to forgive him?

"Baby," Lin Chen said, his back to her, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair, "can you tell me what I need to do for you to forgive me?"

Can I refuse to answer this question?

Lin Chen didn't force her to give an answer. He turned around, opened his arms, and hugged her. He didn't say anything more, just held her quietly, enjoying this brief moment of warmth.

……

At 10 o'clock, Lin Chen finally took Lu Siqi home.

Sitting in the car, watching her walk into the dilapidated old building, Lin Chen took a drag of his cigarette and glanced down at his phone at several missed calls, all from Shang Junmo.

Shang Junmo is Shang Junyan's cousin.

Shang Junmo's father, Shang Donghe, is Shang Junyan's uncle.

In fact, the feud between Shang Junmo and Shang Junyan stemmed from a woman: after Shang Junyan's wife, Su Qing, divorced him, she pretended to be in a relationship with Shang Junmo during the divorce period in order to deliberately provoke Shang Junyan.

Everyone knows that Shang Junmo likes Su Qing.

Because of this grudge, Shang Junyan has had no contact with him to this day. Now that Shang Junmo has learned that Lin Chen and Shang Junyan have "broken off their friendship," he has contacted him again through the Nie family. It is obvious that this guy is not content to hide in England and wants to use the Lin family's connections and power to bring down Shang Junyan.

Although Lin Chen had rejected Shang Junmo many times, he still did not back down and continued to call every day, which showed how much he wanted to return to his past "glory".

I really don't know what these young men are thinking. Aren't they happy with a life of money and leisure? Why do they have to risk everything and fight?

Lin Chen didn't want to associate with them; he just wanted to quietly be a "shady businessman."

As Lu Siqi said, "The Musen of the past is dead."

The lawless Mu Sen, who had great love in his heart, had already died in Bangnan.

But just then, a wealthy man appeared in the port city who wanted to buy a large quantity of heroin.

Lin Chen suspected that the person behind the scenes was Shang Junmo or the Nie family. His years of undercover work made him wary.

Coupled with his hatred of drugs and Shen Cheng's unknown whereabouts, Lin Chen had no choice but to wade into this murky water again.

Lin Chen called Shang Junmo back, "I'll be going to England in a week. We can sit down and talk properly then. I'm busy right now."

Shang Junmo sneered: "You've been too busy admiring the beauty to talk to me."

"Since you know that, you'd better keep your mouth shut. If you dare to utter a single word, I'll make sure you don't have a peaceful life in England."

"Don't threaten me like that. You should be thinking about your own safety."

"What do you mean?"

"Hua Dongchen has started hiring assassins from Europe and America, probably specifically targeting you. Be careful lately."

Lin Chen snorted dismissively, "That old bastard is really restless. I haven't even gone to find him yet, and he's already come knocking on my door."

"You've turned his only son into a eunuch, and the Hua family line is about to end. Do you think he'll let you off easily?"

"Whether he wants to let me go or not depends on whether he has the ability."

Shang Junmo agreed with him: "That's true, the Hua family doesn't really have that kind of power yet."

"what do you want to say?"

"You should be very clear about what I'm trying to say. As I mentioned before, compared to Shang Junyan, you are more qualified to sit in that position. Once you succeed, all those drug dealers in Bangnan who want to take revenge on you will have to give up."

Lin Chen was tired of hearing this. "I only want a beautiful woman, not an empire."

"Your beauty is about to marry Sheng Huai'an, are you willing to accept that?"

"Su Qing is about to give birth to Shang Junyan's second child, are you willing to accept that?"

These words successfully hit Shang Junmo's sore spot.

Shang Junmo sighed in self-reproach, "You're ruthless, kid. I'm not talking to you anymore. We'll talk again when we meet in England."

After the call ended, Lin Chen glanced in the direction of the old building and saw that Lu Siqi's room lights were off. He guessed that she had gone to sleep before starting his car and leaving.

But in reality, Lu Siqi hadn't slept at all. She had simply turned off the light and hid behind the curtains until Lin Chen drove away, at which point she took out the checks from her wallet.

The compensation for the informant's family was just a pretext; Gu Shi had already applied for and disbursed a sum of money.

He borrowed a total of 10 billion from Lin Chen, an amount that was enough to lure Hua Yin into a trap.

He might consider 500 million, but with Hua Yin's personality, he would definitely take the risk of 1 billion.
