I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 18 Surprise



Chapter 18 Surprise



A quiet wind passed by before soft sighs echoed inside the room. Yu Chen's men were looking like they just heard something so confusing and unbelievable that they didn't know how to even react. Hearing such words from this legendary cold king almost felt the same as hearing a robot suddenly saying words which weren't programmed in its system, freaking them out silently.


Even the usually unbothered Gu Jinyang couldn't help but react. He noticed Yu Chen's actions last night and he already assumed that he was waiting for a call but to think that this man was troubled about it until now was truly a surprise to him.


"Yu Chen, don't tell me you've been worrying about this since last night?" Gu Jinyang asked, his expression was serious but disbelief was flashing across his eyes.


When Yu Chen simply averted his gaze and rested his face on his knuckles instead of replying right away, sweat drops could only fall from Gu Jinyang's forehead. He was silenced. It was just hard for even him to believe that this man, who had never been affected by anyone was now being anxious over something like this.


After a short moment, Gu Jinyang found his voice and asked again. "What time did you fall asleep last night?"


When Yu Chen heard him, he glanced at his men and as soon as he noticed their expressions, he straightened and he leaned his back on his chair.


"Strangely, I couldn't sleep last night." He said and his men face palmed themselves in almost a synchronized manner.


Goodness! Was this still the scary, stone big boss of ours?!


Seeing his men's reaction, Yu Chen's brows knotted a bit.


"What?" He coldly uttered and the men quickly scratched their heads, quickly switching their gears back to normal.


"N-nothing, boss. Hahaha. Please don't mind us." Guan Ye quickly replied while the others were restraining Gu Wei behind him.


Gladly, the always serious and formal Gu Jinyang finally made a move. He walked closer to Yu Chen like an ever so useful right hand man that he was.


"I didn't expect you to be so anxious over this." He started and his frankness made Yu Chen's expression worsen.


"Are you saying this is something so trivial that I don't have to be bothered about?" Yu Chen replied as the atmosphere suddenly felt like the oxygen had been removed from the room. Yu Chen was absolutely displeased. If his mood deteriorated any more than this, they all knew they were heading towards a raging episode from their big boss.


Gu Jinyang was again surprised. He didn't expect Yu Chen's usual calm and collected manner could easily be affected by just a tiny issue about Luo Xiaolei. His reaction was so unexpected, it almost felt like another side of him had just awakened since the day he saw Luo Xiaolei.


"It's not like that. It's just that I didn't expect you would be waiting the entire night and that you would be in such a mood because she didn't send you a message." Gu Jinyang explained and Yu Chen's glare sharpened. His almost murderous eyes seemed to be saying the words 'what the hell is wrong with waiting for someone to message?'.


"I'm not saying there's something wrong about waiting for someone to message but Miss Luo and you just met for the third time and you rejected her last night. You can't expect her to message you because she might still be a bit down and she might have slept as soon as she got home last night. What I want to say is, don't be too anxious about this." As Gu Jinyang explained, Yu Chen's oozing dark aura slowly dissipated. It looked like Gu Jinyang had just succeeded in coaxing the beast that was about to go berserk quite quick.


Whew!! You really are awesome as always, Gu Jinyang, the great!!


While the other men sighed in great relief, Gu Jinyang didn't stop speaking.


"Also, instead of worrying about her not sending you a message, don't you think it would be better for you to think about executing your plans now? You said you'd start today, remember?" he continued and as expected Yu Chen's attention was immediately diverted.


"T-that's right. We will leave early today. I have to prepare and execute that first step as soon as daytime falls. I-" As Yu Chen said those words, a soft beep halted him.


The beep came from his personal phone so everyone, most especially him was suddenly under the spell of great anticipation. Yu Chen slowly raised his hand and when he saw a message from an unknown number, his eyes flared with a sort of exciting expectation.


But as soon as Yu Chen read it, his eyes narrowed and he froze.


Gu Jinyang was close to him so he moved and glanced at the phone. When he saw the message, the man immediately dialed his phone and spoke with someone.


Moments went by and the door finally opened.


Yu Chen's gaze fell on the door and when his other bodyguards, which were designated to guard outside, entered one after another with flowers in their hands, Yu Chen noisily stood in utter surprise.
