Chapter 22

A Familiar Scent, Like That Woman Last Night

Listen

Li Junyus slender fingers with those well-defined knuckles pinched her sharp chin without holding back.

Dont cause me any trouble. I dont care who that guy is. Youre not allowed to have any contact with him within the next year.

She was a problem that his father had thrown at him.

Li Junyu was very busy, and he did not have the time to waste on a girl in the throes of p.u.b.erty like her. The revelation that Ruan Mengmengs body was covered in hickeys especially frustrated him to no end.

If Ruan Mengmeng ended up pregnant out of wedlock, he had no idea how much of a disaster that would create.

This phone contains Ling Beis, Uncle Zhaos, and the drivers number. Youll start school in three days, and the driver will send you there. Uncle Zhao will be in charge of all your daily needs from now on, and Ling Bei will handle your schooling matters. If you have any problems, you can call them directly.

Ling Bei was one of his personal a.s.sistants, and Uncle Zhao was the butler of Li Garden.

Li Junyu only considered Ruan Mengmeng an a.s.signment to complete, so he did not plan to educate her himself.

If she could behave, they could definitely stay on peaceful terms until she graduated.

If she could not, however, he did not mind showing her what happened to anyone who crossed him.

Ruan Mengmeng muttered to herself. Who was she supposed to come into contact with, now that Li Junting had left?

However, Li Junyus att.i.tude really was more than a little overbearing.

The force with which he pinched her chin was especially irritating. That was no way to treat a girl.

Ruan Mengmeng was frustrated, so she retorted stubbornly, Stop joking, Young Master Li. I dont think the friends I make and the things I do fall under your jurisdiction. Even if I promised Uncle Li I would stay, that doesnt mean you can just order me around.

You can try. The man narrowed his cold eyes slightly, the tide of darkness in his eyes rising even higher. If any man dares to touch my younger sister, I, Li Junyu, swear that he wont live to see tomorrows sun.

What the heck? This guy must be crazy!

Ruan Mengmeng was getting a little p.i.s.sed. Who are you calling your younger sister?! Who I make friends with, and even who I date, none of that has anything to do with you!

Seriously, what the f*ck? He was b.u.t.ting into everything! He was nuts!

Chen Qingzhi is now Madam Li, so doesnt that make you my younger sister? Hmm? The man tightened his right hands grip, and Ruan Mengmeng actually felt hurt.

Hss

She could not help a hiss of pain, her pretty almond eyes welling with tears as it was covered by a thin layer of mist.

The girl who could stand up against him and throw a tantrum at him earlier suddenly put on an expression like a wounded little animal. It actually made Li Junyus pitch-black pupils freeze for a second.

He loosened his right hands grip involuntarily.

Just then, he finally realized with a shock that the scent filling his nostrils actually felt a little familiar.

Was it last night?

L-Let go! Youre hurting me! Ruan Mengmeng suddenly felt slightly panicky.

In that instant earlier, when they were so close to each other, that mans bottomless phoenix eyes seemed to remind her of the features she saw in the darkness last night.

She knew that Li Junyu and Li Junting were brothers, so they must surely look similar.

She also knew very well that the man last night was Li Junting, not Li Junyu.

Just now, however, when their gazes met in such close proximity, her heart began to pound despite herself. It felt as though she had returned to the most intimate moment of last night.

As Ruan Mengmeng struggled, Li Junyu let go of her.

She backed away.

The familiar scent drifting amidst the mans nostrils vanished once more.

Instead, the smell of antiseptics took its place.

Li Junyu narrowed his cold eyes, his attention drawn to the dressed injury on Ruan Mengmengs head.

They were no longer so close to each other. At this distance, all he could smell was the evident scent of antiseptic wafting off of her.

Li Junyu frowned slightly and decisively refuted the suspicions in his mind.

It seemed that as long as he did not find that woman from last night, these random and baseless suspicions would never disappear.

When he thought of that despicable woman from last night, Li Junyus expression grew even colder. Even his gaze on Ruan Mengmeng started to look dark and dangerous.

F*ck

This man changed moods at the drop of a hat! She did not even know what she had done to tick me off!
