CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175: AREN’T YOU THE ONE WHO ASKED ME TO COME?

"Are you up yet?" Beichen Rui’s voice came from the other end of the phone. Ye Xinluo paused for a moment, then responded, "President, do you need something?"

"I told you a few days ago, there’s a party today. You’re coming with me." Beichen Rui said casually.

"Can I not go?" Ye Xinluo asked.

"No." Beichen Rui replied without thinking.

"President, I have something to do today, I can’t accompany you." Ye Xinluo wanted to refuse, she really wasn’t interested in that party.

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Beichen Rui asked.

"Something came up." Ye Xinluo told a small lie, feeling a bit guilty, worried that he might sense something was off.

"Really?" Beichen Rui clearly didn’t believe her, he turned to look at the entrance of Marine Garden, "I’m at the entrance of your apartment complex. You have half an hour to come out."

Ye Xinluo was stunned, glanced out the window.

No way, how could he be so fast, what time is it and he’s already here?

A bit unhappy with his commanding tone, she gritted her teeth and directly hung up his call.

To prevent him from calling back, she went ahead and turned off her phone.

When Beichen Rui heard the busy tone through the receiver, he frowned and looked at his phone.

Sure enough...

This woman actually dared to hang up on him, he called again, but the call was met with a prompt.

Ye Xinluo had turned off her phone.

Holding the phone in his hand, he chuckled lightly.

Good, very good, woman, just you wait.

He unlocked the screen and dialed another phone number.

Ye Xinluo, after turning off her phone, happily went to the kitchen to make a pot of pumpkin porridge and prepared a few side dishes.

After the porridge was ready, she scooped some into a bowl, walked to the dining table and sat down. Just as she was about to eat, the doorbell rang.

Stopping her eating motion, she looked at the door with a puzzled expression, thinking it was Lan Shan, not giving it much thought.

She got up, went to the door, opened it, and was utterly stunned when she saw who was standing there. She instinctively tried to close the door.

However, Beichen Rui slipped into the room before she could, grabbed her wrist, pushed her against the wall, and kicked the door shut.

Ye Xinluo was trapped in his arms, feeling a bit uncomfortable and wanting to break free. She reached out to push him away.

"Woman, you dare hang up on me? Hmm?" Beichen Rui wasn’t affected at all; her little strength was nothing to him.

He leaned in close to her, stopping about four or five centimeters away, and said.

His voice carried a hint of raspiness, which made Ye Xinluo’s heart tremble. She said, "I... my phone died."

She randomly came up with an excuse, in any case, she couldn’t let him know it was intentional.

"Oh, really? So after all this time you couldn’t even return my call to say something?" Beichen Rui clearly didn’t believe her, raising an eyebrow as he spoke.

"I forgot." Ye Xinluo turned her head away to avoid looking at him. His presence was too dangerous, and Ye Xinluo only had one thought now.

Which was to stay far away from him.

"Is that so?" Beichen Rui said, "Since you wanted me to come up so much, I can fulfill your wish."

"What do you mean?" Ye Xinluo turned back to look at him, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Haven’t you been wanting me to come up since you didn’t call me back? How come you’re not happy now that I’m here?"

Ye Xinluo: "..."

When did she ever want him to come up? This man sure had a knack for creating stories out of thin air, how could he even link this up!
