I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 100 The Chens

Right after Gu Wei spouted his mischievous statement, Guan Ye suddenly pulled him back away from Luo Xiaolei as he stepped in between them.

"Miss Luo, please don't mind him. He was just spouting his gibberish jokes again." Guan Ye explained, forcing an awkward laugh.

"No, it's fine. I know he's joking." Luo Xiaolei smiled back and Guan Ye felt relieved while the said joker pouted behind him.

"It's not totally a joke though… look at them, those two Chens are treating the boss like their younger brother, and isn't Chen Yu quite a nice name too?" Gu Wei was murmuring by himself when Yu Chen called Luo Xiaolei's name.

Luo Xiaolei, who was standing far behind Yu Chen, turned her gaze towards him upon hearing his voice.

The moment their eyes met, Yu Chen signaled her to get closer so she immediately walked towards him.

But as she approached them, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. In her previous life, the man she always looked up to was actually no other than the man who was speaking with Yu Chen right now. Back then, since she started pursuing the path of business, the god of business world, Chen Seiji, had been her chosen role model. By the time she had become one of the biggest, rising CEOs, Luo Xiaolei had managed to create a strong partnership with Red Empire. She had met Chen Seiji quite a few times and all she could say about him was that he truly was an amazing leader. She could even bet that he was the best CEO she had ever known and met. He and his Red Empire was definitely the opposite of Yu Chen and Yu Empire, which was damn mysterious and seemingly shrouded with all the darkness and secrets in the world.

Although things were different now, it seemed like Luo Xiaolei's great admiration for Chen Seiji didn't change. Well, in her previous life, the only thing she paid attention to was the world of business that she didn't even bother about looking at other things, not even the world of entertainment. She would even admit that if Chen Seiji was an idol, she would definitely be one of his certified biggest fans.

"This is Luo Xiaolei, my fiancée." Yu Chen immediately introduced her. "Xiaolei, this is…"

"Chen Seiji. Nice to meet you, Miss Luo." Chen Seiji's tone and expression was very formal as always. But somehow, Luo Xiaolei could sense the subtle change in his treatment to her. He was far gentler this time.

"Thank you. Very pleased to meet you, too, Mr. Chen." Somehow, Luo Xiaolei was much more composed than she thought. But now that the role model she had admired for many years was standing before her again, she couldn't help but look at him with stars in her eyes.

Of course, her reaction didn't escape Yu Chen's watchful eyes and it immediately made his brows creased.

And then, they all heard someone called Yu Chen's name.

"Oh!! Little Chen is finally here!!" a man's voice rang out loud, garnering everyone's attention towards him.

Luo Xiaolei was not an exception. When she saw another beautiful man striding closer to them with a friendly smile, Luo Xiaolei immediately recognized him. This man was the Red Empire's president and the younger brother of Chen Seiji, Chen Zaki. In her previous life, this man was also one of the biggest names in the world of business. However, Luo Xiaolei remembered that before she returned back in time, this man was…

"Ohh, is this our future younger sister-in-law, Luo Xiaolei?" the man excitedly said, pulling her away from her trip down memory lane back to the present. Erm… what? Future… s-sister in law?

The man seemed to have noticed the confusion in her eyes and he laughed.

"Ah… this guy here is actually like a brother to us." He started explaining. His arm was already wrapped around Yu Chen's shoulders as he spoke. "Yeah, even if he's so cold and distant and rarely shows up, he's still our younger brother, more like our delinquent, prodigal little bro, haha."

He was chuckling as he looked at Yu Chen with a mischievous gaze but Yu Chen simply glared at him with his usual unchanging poker face.

"Sigh… you still haven't fixed that poker face of yours? Lil sis, are you not getting sick of this guy's face?" he suddenly asked, slightly leaning towards Luo Xiaolei.

"… uhm," Luo Xiaolei glanced at Yu Chen and she shook her head as she forced a smile. "No, not at all." She finally answered but the man raised his brows.

And then, without letting go of Yu Chen, he leaned a bit closer. "Are you sure? Don't you think he'd be handsomer if he at least smiled more often rather than having this mannequin-like poker face of his? Don't you want to see his boring face be more expressive?" he asked, and Luo Xiaolei couldn't argue against that.

"O-of course, I would love to…"

Luo Xiaolei abruptly slammed her lips shut but it was too late. The man had already turned to Yu Chen again with grin flashing across his face.

"See? You hear that?" he said in a playful tone before he leaned in on him and whispered something in Yu Chen's ear.

Luo Xiaolei could hardly find a word to say. She was overwhelmed to find out that the Red Empire's president was this playfully warm and friendly; the absolute opposite of the stone, Yu Chen.

But what caught Luo Xiaolei's attention the most was that… as she stared at the two of them, she realized that their eyes were undoubtedly identical. That dark as coal iris, their long thick lashes, even the size and shape of their eyes were exactly the same.

Looking at them, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but think that Yu Chen and this playful man were actually the real siblings among the three of them. Haha, what the hell am I thinking?

"Ah! Anyway, I'm Zaki. Just call me big brother-in-law from now on, okay?" He smiled genuinely at her and then, abruptly, his eyes darted towards the back and stayed there.
