Chapter 8 Let Me Borrow You For A While
- Chu Meng slapped the back of her hand in punishment. She was extremely upset with herself for taking that name card.
- As soon as the elevator doors opened to the first floor, she shot out of the elevator like a speeding bullet. It was very crowded in the lobby. Before she could slow down her speed, she slammed into a broad chest.
- Lifting her head, she saw a man in a white shirt and black pants. Errant strands of silky blond hair stuck to his sculpted face as a slightly long fringe partially covered a pair of upturned eyes.
- “A little careless, aren't you?” The man said as he steadied Chu Meng and looked at her with foxy eyes. He had an alluring voice.
- “Sorry... I'm so sorry!” Chu Meng quickly pulled back her arm and shot a nervous glance behind her. The door of the elevator exclusively used by the President was opening and Situ Han's tall figure stepped out. Behind him came two men who looked like his bodyguards.
- It was too late for Chu Meng to escape now. Hurriedly grabbing the suit jacket which was slung over the man's arm, she wrapped it around herself. “Sir, please help me! I will repay you for this,” she pleaded.
- As Situ Han's rushed footsteps got closer, Chu Meng did not wait for the man's reply before throwing herself into his arms. She hugged his waist tightly and buried her face into his chest. In a soft voice, she begged again, “Please, lend me your embrace.”
- The man's body stiffened for a brief second before he put his arms around Chu Meng's waist. With a soft chuckle, he said, “Sure, just don't forget what you said before.”
- Chu Meng breathed a sigh of relief as she burrowed into his chest further. Her heart started to beat faster as she clearly heard Situ Han's footsteps stop beside them. To her surprise, the man hugging her spoke up in a lighthearted tone, “Brother, long time no see.”
- Brother? Brother! God, could you get any more sadistic? Why are you toying with me like this! Chu Meng felt like she could cry.
- Situ Han swept his emotionless gaze across his little brother, Situ Yun, “You only just got back from out of the country, what are you doing here instead of going back home?”
- Situ Yun shrugged his shoulders, “Brother, we technically haven't seen each other in three years. I've missed you so much that I just had to rush here the moment I got off the plane.”
- Situ Han's mouth twitched in disbelief. He would be a fool to believe him! His gaze landed on the woman in his brother's arms, “Who is she?”
- Sensing Chu Meng's nervousness, Situ Yun patted her waist gently with his right hand. He gave his brother an ambiguous smile, “Since when have you been interested in my woman?”
- Situ Han's voice was cold as he commanded, “Turn her around.”
- Situ Yun raised an eyebrow as he gave a flippant laugh, “We might have gone a little overboard in the car. She's not exactly presentable right now, Brother. Isn't that right, baby?”
- Chu Meng stomped her feet like a spoiled kid and pitched her voice as she replied, “How can I possibly meet anyone looking like this, this is so embarrassing!”
- Situ Yun laughed, “How about you head to the washroom and tidy yourself up, I'll wait for you with my brother upstairs.”
- Chu Meng pouted, “But baby, I don't want you to leave. Come with me to the washroom, please?” With Situ Han standing right beside them, her cover would be blown the moment she lifted her head. Come on, handsome, if you're already helping me, might as well help me all the way.
- Situ Yun blinked and petted her hair, “What am I going to do with you... Brother, I'll go to the washroom with her then we'll go up to meet you.”
- Cold eyes watched as Situ Yun walked off with Chu Meng still held tightly in his arms. Situ Han's gaze never left them as he ordered his bodyguard, “Keep an eye on them.” Turning to look at his assistant, Lu Zihao, he gave another order, “Get the videos of the surveillance cameras in the lobby to my office.” He refused to believe what the woman had up her sleeves and disappeared just like that. As for what Situ Yun had said, he didn't trust him either.
- Situ Han tightened his grip on the name card in his hand as a steely glint flashed through his eyes. Chu Meng, I swear I'll find you no matter where you've disappeared to!
- “So, how do you plan on repaying me?” At the entrance to the washroom, Situ Yun pinned Chu Meng against the wall. Their bodies were pressed together tightly.
- “I'll treat you to dinner?” Chu Meng shrank bank uncomfortably. She wanted to push him away, yet despite his weak appearance, he was surprisingly strong. His arms had her caged between him and the wall, and she could not escape.
- “How about you pay with your body?” Situ Yun's gaze was filled with interest as he looked down at Chu Meng.
- Chu Meng rolled her eyes at him, “I may be immensely grateful that you helped me out but that doesn't mean I'll agree to such ridiculous demands.”
- Situ Yun could not contain himself anymore as a laugh burst out of his lips. Lifting his finger, he poked at the puffed-out cheeks of Chu Meng, “Aww, are you mad? You're so cute. I'm just kidding!”
