Skirt-Chasing Young Monarch: City Lady-Killer Chapter 90

"My father passed away due to liver cancer. He was always worried about me. Everyone went crazy trying to find me; and on his deathbed, I was still completely in the dark about it!

Liu Fei Hong seemed like she was laughing at herself as she looked out the window.

Su Ke could see that crystal tears were dripping down the side of her face though.

"I know that my family hates me, and I accept it! The only thing I can do now is let them live a good life. Even if they don't acknowledge me as their daughter or an elder sister, I won't have any regrets!"

Su Ke was struck dumb as he saw tears running down the side of her face and leaving shiny trails. They seemed never-ending, becoming even more turbulent as time passed.

"I've always stayed at Nanfang these past years. While part of it is because I have my own place there, it's more so that I won't miss home. No matter what I say about homesickness, I'm only making myself numb thinking about it."

"I only came back home last year because I couldn't stand it anymore. Even if they don't acknowledge me, I still want to come back. I only need to watch them from afar!"

Liu Fei Hong's voice was always really calm, as if what she said didn't concern her as she started out the window. Her left elbow was on the table, and her chin was in her hand with her fingers rubbing her red lips.

Su Ke didn't know why, but at this moment, he saw a strong woman behaving like a helpless and desolate lone wolf, but still hanging on.

"Sister Fei Hong!" Su Ke wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't think of anything substantial to say, so he stood up and sat beside her.

Liu Fei Hong was like an ice sculpture, emitting an aura that repelled people. Her gaze was also focused outside, silently crying.

Since Su Ke still didn't know what to say, he unconsciously lifted his arm and lightly patted her back. "Sister Fei Hong, real hate between loved ones doesn't exist!"

Her shirt was really thin, so Su Ke could actually feel Liu Fei Hong's back muscles and something satiny. He then unconsciously shuddered, causing his hand to drop and quickly reach the hook of her bra. Although there were no distractions, some ripples would still form.

Suddenly, these ripples became even bigger, causing Su Ke to think about the system's newest task. Looks like this was an opportunity!

When this thought arose, Su Ke started to become nervous, causing his natural movements to become stiff. His right hand then stopped before her back. Patting her would be wrong, and so would stopping. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Liu Fei Hong didn't realize what kind of state Su Ke was in though since she was deep inside her own world. She didn't even react when Su Ke finally decided what to do and patted her.

Su Ke gulped audibly and felt his heart beating faster.

Feeling a bit guilty, he glanced around, especially at Liu Fei Hong's men.

He realized that they weren't looking at them, just sitting very straight and still. When he thought about it, he understood the phrase, 'ignorance is bliss'. They can never know the boss' private matters.

"Chance!" Su Ke's heart sped up. He then slowly lifted up his right arm, closing the gap between them. His arm kept trembling though, and his breathing was erratic as he wore a serious expression.

"Sister Fei Hong, actually…., I feel like Qing Qing isn't how you think she is!"

When Su Ke finished speaking, his right arm finally managed to slide onto her shoulder.

No one but himself knew, but when his palm met her shoulder, Su Ke felt his breathing stop.

He then nervously took in Liu Fei Hong's reaction. In order to make his actions even more natural, Su Ke lightly patted her. With his arm pressed tightly against her back, he felt the deep groove down the middle and her incomparably tender, smooth, and tight skin.

"D*mn!" Even though Liu Lang's gaze didn't move from the ice water on the table, he could see Liu Fei Hong in the corner of his eye.

When he saw Su Ke put his arm around Liu Fei Hong's shoulder, he immediately wanted to stand up and curse, but the man beside him quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him down. "What are you doing!?"

"That brat isn't controlling his claws!" Liu Lang was 30 this year, and had followed Liu Fei Hong loyally and devotedly for 3 years. Even though he was reticent, all the brothers by his side knew that he always buried the feelings he had for Liu Fei Hong deep inside his heart, even treating her like a goddess and not letting any insults against her go.

Since Su Ke had actually embraced her shoulders, Liu Lang had a momentary loss of control. Even though he was pushed back by the people beside him, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were blazing.

"That's Su Ke, and he's still a student. Why are you getting so worked up!?"

Li Hui then pulled Liu Lang's arm back before firmly saying, "Can't you tell that boss is not in a good mood? If you still decide to go crazy, you know what the consequences are!"

Liu Lang immediately turned his head, picked up the glass of water on the table, and tried to control his temper. Su Ke was totally in the dark though that Liu Lang was now scared and cautious of him.

Su Ke then rested his arm across her shoulders. Even though Liu Fei Hong was quite tall, she was a half head shorter than the comfortable Su Ke right now since she was sitting down.

Only the person who drinks the water knows best whether it's hot or cold.

Su Ke gritted his teeth, and his arm felt stiff and nerveless. Even though he was touching Liu Fei Hong's skin, it was just his palm on her shoulder.

He was really nervous though since he was afraid that this woman would suddenly flip.

"F*ck! How long is this going to take!?" Su Ke kept his eyes focused on the screen in the system. The task was still not marked complete, and it didn't show a minimum time.

What is he supposed to do?

Liu Fei Hong had calmed down considerably. She said the words that she suppressed deep inside her heart, but after seeing Liu Qing Qing's attitude today, her emotions poured forth.

After speaking about it, she felt a bit more relaxed.

At this moment, she finally felt Su Ke's arm around her shoulder, causing her eyes to flutter shut. Suddenly, one crystal clear tear began rolling down her cheek before she took a deep breath. "This doesn't feel too bad!"

Su Ke didn't know what Liu Fei Hong was saying at all though since his brain was in such a mess. He only thought and hoped that this task would end sooner so he can remove his hand.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Su Ke felt Liu Fei Hong fall back, her whole body lying against the sofa, and even slightly snuggling up to Su Ke.

In just a moment, Su Ke had Liu Fei Hong in his arms.
