Chapter 477: Chapter 487: Fuming
"Give me back my phone!" Shi Yi said, expressionless.
The man couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you a broken record? You keep saying the same thing over and over."
Shi Yi couldn’t help but get angry. This man took her phone and wouldn’t return it, yet he had the nerve to call her a broken record. "I’m telling you, if you don’t give me back my phone today, I won’t let it slide!"
"Sorry, I left your phone at home, I didn’t bring it with me."
"You!" Shi Yi was furious, pointing at him, wanting to curse but restrained herself because they were in a public place. This wasn’t proper. After thinking for a while, she sullenly said, "Where do you live? I’ll go with you to get it!"
"Going to a stranger’s house to get your phone, aren’t you afraid I might do something to you?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Shi Yi lifted her chin. "Those medical elites were very respectful to you, calling you President Leng. I assume you are a person of status and position. If you really tried something on me, you’d stand to lose more than gain."
The man looked at her with interest, a thin smile curling on his lips, "You’re quite smart."
"I don’t want to waste words with you. Didn’t you say my phone is at your house? Let’s go right now."
Leng Yixiu found this CEO of Lei Man rather intriguing. For some reason, he ended up getting into his car with her and driving toward his apartment in the city center.
Shengde Hospital was about an hour’s drive from Leng Yixiu’s city-center apartment. By the time Shi Yi got out of the car, she realized she had been so angry with this man that she left the hospital without even changing out of her hospital gown.
Instinctively, she checked her appearance – hospital gown, flip-flops, disheveled hair. She probably looked terribly unkempt.
Given the man’s status, it was no surprise his apartment would be in a high-end area. Just by looking at the facilities and the respectful attitude of the security guards at the gate, Shi Yi knew this place must be extremely valuable.
Shi Yi followed the man all the way to the 16th floor and saw him calmly input a string of numbers on the code lock. She glanced casually, but unintentionally memorized the code.
At a certain moment, Shi Yi had a mischievous thought of coming back on a dark night to empty all the valuables from the man’s apartment.
Of course, it was just her daydreaming. No matter how bad things got, she wouldn’t resort to stealing.
As she was lost in thought, the apartment door had already opened in front of her. The man was quite gentlemanly, making a "please" gesture, but she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.
"I’ll wait here for you to bring my phone." She didn’t even want to change shoes.
"What’s the matter, afraid that something might happen to you if you step inside?"
"Ha, as if!" Shi Yi, falling into his trap, changed into slippers and followed the man into his apartment.
Instinctively, she surveyed the apartment. Logically, considering the man’s personality, the apartment’s decor should be in cool tones, but unexpectedly, it was in "girlish pink," which left Shi Yi astounded.
This man’s taste was... No, it must be because of that "baby" he called on the phone yesterday. Now, she thought, this apartment color scheme is likely for that "baby."
She didn’t expect the man who seemed cold and aloof was actually quite affectionate.
"Would you like a drink?" the man asked.
"No, let’s get straight to the point." Shi Yi had other business at her branch office in the afternoon and didn’t want to waste time here.
"Get straight to the point?" The man suddenly smirked devilishly, stepping closer to her. "How do you intend to get straight to the point?"
The man’s unexpected advance made Shi Yi momentarily at a loss. Instinctively, she stepped back but soon found herself cornered by the man.
They were too close, making Shi Yi incredibly uncomfortable. She glared angrily at Leng Yixiu, "Move away from me?"
"Move away? How can we get straight to the point then?" He did not move, even edging closer.
"You misunderstood. By ’getting straight to the point,’ I mean give me my phone back!"
"Oh? Did I misunderstand you? There wasn’t any other implication in your words?"
As his lips moved, the unfamiliar yet familiar scent of the man engulfed Shi Yi, making her slightly breathless. She abruptly pushed him away, "Keep it if you want, I’m done fighting! Keep the phone for all I care, okay?"
Really, she must have lost her mind to follow this infuriating man here today!
Shi Yi, still furious, rushed towards the door with long strides.
But somehow, the door was already locked. Quick-witted, she entered the code she remembered, expecting the door to unlock, but it remained unmoved.
Just then, the man’s voice came from behind her, "So, you memorized the entry code. But you miscalculated, the inside and outside codes are different."
Before he finished speaking, he was already in front of her, and in his hand, somehow, appeared a white iPhone.
Seeing her phone, Shi Yi finally realized she had been played. Anger flared in her heart, "So my phone was with you all along! You are shameless!"
"I told you last night, we have an unfinished business. If you apologize to me, I’ll give you your phone back."
"Apologize? Out of the question!"
"Don’t you want your phone anymore?"
"I said, I don’t want the phone! Consider it a gift to you as a memorial for your grave!"
Leng Yixiu laughed, "My grave memorial would certainly be worth more than this."
"Just unlock the door for me."
Leng Yixiu suddenly found the angry side of this woman quite entertaining, so he decided to tease her a bit, "Ask nicely, and I’ll unlock it for you, how about that?"
"In your dreams! If you don’t unlock it, I’ll call the police!"
"On what grounds? For taking your phone?" He chuckled, "You should know, police have more serious matters to attend to, they won’t bother with petty things like this."
"..."
Seeing her eyes widen like saucers, nearly ready to blow up, he suddenly stepped closer, trapping her between him and the door, and whispered in a deep voice, "Can’t think of a reason to report me? How about I give you one? For example, molestation?"
