Chapter 157 - Grand Thief of Jiangyang
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âCome on, you little gorgeous... Tell me, okay? This big sis hereâs reeeally curious about you......â Jingyi was itching in frustration at that point- why was the guy still thinking about that thousand kuai? There were a couple tens of thousands of dollars in that wallet heâd just stolen, along with some rmb change...
Although, her curiosity in Lin Yi was indeed genuine- she really wanted to know who Lin Yi was... Sheâd met a really powerful character in the bar for no reason, stronger than even Wu Chentian...
Lin Yiâs insistence only intensified her curiosity- women just had that sort of curious urge sometimes.
âAh......â Lin Yi had to admit- that beautiful voice, that alluring aura she was swallowing Lin Yi with... it got to him. Her attractiveness was on a whole other level.
But Lin Yi was certain that the maturity in her allure was intentional- twenty seven or eight years old was still pretty young. She was probably even younger than that, too, and it wasnât easy to tell with the style of make up sheâd decided to go with.
Lin Yi was also certain, from the way Jingyi talked to Chentian, that she wouldnât be too old- She mightâve went for the âmatureâ look because of her profession.
âDo you usually talk like that to your boss and customers too?â Lin Yi was warming up a little with that voice Jingyi was attacking him with- he wasnât feeling very natural as of now.
Jingyi blinked at the statement before a blush formed on her face. She didnât think sheâd be one to puppy-whine like that... Every girl knew how, and there were plenty examples in movies to learn from even if they didnât... Jingyi wouldnât have went for that mature look if sheâd been that type of girl, after all, and she couldâve very well done what the younger girls did, sweet-talking and puppy-whining for their benefit.
The sweeter tone of her voice slipped past her in her curiosity of Lin Yi this time around, and that embarrassed her. Lin Yi wouldnât be able to see the red on her face in the dim lighting, at the very least.
âAhaha...... you think big sis is that kind of woman, do you?â Jingyi said, evidently treating Lin Yi like a kid. The guy didnât look very old, after all, and that resulted in a lowered guard on Jingyiâs part.
âYou donât look like it, but who knows?â Lin Yi said, not very polite.
âHow about this? You tell big sis what you do for a living, and yours will be the only ears hearing this kind of voice from me.â Jingyi wasnât that type of person, but her curiosity took priority. Taking Lin Yiâs age into account also made it more acceptable- she wouldnât be losing anything by coaxing a younger kid with sweetness, after all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou really wanna know?â Lin Yi asked as he looked at Jingyi.
Jingyi nodded.
âAlright, Iâll tell you then. Donât let anyone else know about this.â Lin Yi said, a solemn expression on her face.
âI wonât.â Jingyi said as she nodded her head subconsciously.
âIâm actually... the Grand Thief of Jiangyan!â Lin Yi said with lowered volume. âIâm currently a turned leaf, so......â
âUh......â Jingyi looked at Lin Yi, full of disbelief. It sounded out of place, but Lin Yiâs serious face didnât make it seem like he was lying. She decided to believe his claim. âFor real? Donât worry though, I promised you I wouldnât tell.â
âYep. So give me a thousand and then you can leave......â Lin Yi said with a nod.
Jingyi had made a deal, after all- she pulled ten hundred rmb notes out from her wallet and gave it to Lin Yi, who just took it without even counting them.
âArenât you gonna give me a contact number?â Jingyi said, a little frustrated that Lin Yi seemed to be done with her already. Any other guy wouldâve been the one asking for her number, even if she didnât......
It seemed that her appeal wasnât as strong in Lin Yiâs eyes as the two young girls sitting over there, at the end of the day...
â152xxxx1234......â Lin Yi said, giving her his number. âRemember to prepare the money before you call!â
A waiter was moving over to move Chentianâs chair away when he heard Lin Yiâs words- he glanced at the money in Lin Yiâs hands, speechless...... So the guy was providing that sort of service......
He took a look at Sun Jingyi, even more speechless....... Why was the girl resorting to this, with looks like that..? Sheâd have men lining up for her with one wag of her finger, so why pay for this kind of service......
Jingyi understood instantly that the waiter was misunderstanding the situation after one look at him. It pissed her off a bit, but she took her leave after one final glare at Lin Yi.
Jingyi wondered if Lin Yi had some sort of secret forbidden technique- sheâd never been in this sort of position with a man before......
What was more- the guy was even younger than her, with unorthodox methods as well... Sheâd lost quite an amount of face today, but Lin Yi did help her escape Chentianâs clutches. It was a one time thing, however, and Chentian would be back a couple of days later... She couldnât run forever.
At that moment, some guy was sweating as he ruffled through his pockets... Where is it......
âDo you have money or not? You look like a gentleman, so I hope youâre not planning to freeload?â The taxi driver said impatiently.
âBro, I forgot my wallet- itâs upstairs in my hotel room. Iâll go get it right now, if thatâs alright?â Chentian cursed at his bad luck- whyâd he give all the money to that employee anyway? Couldnât he had left himself a hundred kuai or something?
âWhat kind of shit is that? What if you donât come back down, where should I go look for you then?â The taxi driver said, evidently not trusting Chentianâs words. âCall your friend or something to send you money, I canât let you leave if you donât pay up......â
âUh......â Heâd just arrived at Songshan- there wasnât anyone he could possibly call! âBro, how bout you go up with me, Iâll pay you upstairs?â
âGo up with you? Are you joking? What if you have an ambush up there waiting for me?â The driver wasnât stupid. âAlso, they donât allow long term parking here- what if the cops fine me if I go up with you? Stop dragging and call a friend!â
âAlright......â Chentian said as he dialed Jingyiâs number up.
Jingyi had just left the bar when her phone rang- it was Wu Chentian, and he was sticking to her like glue! Impatient, she hung the phone up before saving the number Lin Yi gave her as a contact.
Chentianâs phone rang up again a while after, and Jingyi answered it with an impatient frown. Jesus, give it a rest!! âWhat dâyou want, Wu Chentian?? Iâm in the middle of something with my boyfriend!â
