Chapter 10 We Meet Again

• Situ Han sat behind his spacious desk, his large frame seeming to dominate the room. Chu Meng felt intimidated at the emotionless look on that handsome face. His eyes were cold and piercing, as if he could see right through her. A shiver raced down her spine.
• “We meet again, woman.”
• Chu Meng's lips twitched as she thought to herself, I don't want to meet you, not one bit!
• Situ Han's voice was cold and mocking, “I have to give it to you, you really know how to act. Situ Yun's woman? A cleaning lady?” When he saw through the surveillance cameras how she had escaped out of Cheng Hao Building, he was furious. At the same time, he had to grudgingly admire her cleverness.
• Chu Meng bowed her head but remained silent.
• “Aren't you going to explain yourself?”
• Chu Meng coughed as she forced a strained smile on her face, “There's nothing much to explain. We were drunk that night, that's all.”
• Situ Han was ruthless as he replied in an icy tone, “Drunk? I heard you were more than aware! First, you deliberately got close to me, then you played hard to get. Just what is your motive?”
• Chu Meng pretended she did not understand as she blinked innocently, “What motive? I really was drunk, I thought you were a gigolo. That's why I even gave you a five hundred tip...”
• Chu Meng's voice had gradually gotten softer as she realized Situ Han's face was getting stormier. As she trailed off, he suddenly grabbed hold of her throat in a tight grip. His teeth were gritted as he spoke, “Shut up!” This incident was a dirty stain in his perfectly clean life, and he wanted to kill her for it.
• The undisguised murderous intent in his eyes sent shivers crawling down her spine. The grip on her throat was steadily getting tighter and she gasped for air. Her hands tugged at his wrist, trying to get him to release her, “Let me go, let me go!”
• Staring at her rapidly paling face, Situ Han suddenly released her neck and flung her away from him. Unprepared for this, Chu Meng nearly fell to the floor but managed to steady herself on the coffee table. Unfortunately, her hand still managed to hit the corner of the coffee table and pain coursed through her.
• Bent over at the waist, she coughed violently as she raised teary eyes to look at him, “You're crazy!”
• Situ Han seized her jaw and yanked her head to look at him, “Speak the truth, what motive do you have?”
• Chu Meng felt like she really was crazy - she really shouldn't have gotten on his nerves. “I really have no ulterior motive. Let's just pretend that incident never happened, okay? I swear I won't cause trouble because of what happened.”
• Situ Han stared into her eyes. Undried tears sparkled in her big eyes as her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies in the rain. For some inexplicable reason, this sight was particularly alluring to him.
• He slowly released his grip as his lips tightened, “I can let you go. However, for the next two weeks you have to stay at my house. After we've confirmed you aren't pregnant, I'll let you go.”
• Chu Meng hurriedly replied, “No, I can't stay with you!” She could not let him know if she really was pregnant.
• Situ Han's eyes narrowed dangerously, “You don't get to say no!”
• “But, “Chu Meng racked her brain furiously, “If I stay with you at your house, surely your family members won't agree. Plus, my boyfriend would definitely have something to say about it!”
• Situ Han sneered, “You don't need to worry about my family. As for your 'boyfriend'... If my sources are correct, you don't actually have a boyfriend. The closest male friend you have is your best friend's husband, am I right?”
• “You actually had your men investigate me, that's an invasion of my privacy!” Chu Meng glared at him hatefully.
• “That's not all I know. If you don't want your reputation to be ruined, just be good and do as I say!” Situ Han was like the king of olden times, with absolute power. No one could disagree with him.
• Chu Meng knew he was speaking the truth. Right now, the smartest decision would be to do as he said. She replied slowly, “Fine, I agree to your condition. But I have one request - I want to go home and pack my things.”
• Sure that she would not be up to any tricks, Situ Han agreed, “No problem. I'll send two bodyguards to protect you.”
• Protect. More like to spy on! Chu Meng discreetly rolled her eyes.
• “Since I'm being so cooperative, you have to work with me too. I need to hand in this interview before Friday. When are you free?” She had not forgotten her main reason for coming here.
• “Now is fine. Ask away.” Situ Han waved his hand at the chair, inviting her to sit. His posture was relaxed yet arrogant as he sat.
