am2_1 Chapter 9 G**d at Playing Hard to Get

Subconsciously, Bai Xixi resisted getting close to him. Her body was tense and she raised her hands to push him away.

"Mr. Sheng, I really didn't know about it. Let go of me, we are still in the yard."

Sheng Zixiao sneered and looked at her disgustedly.

"Huh, are you embarrassed? I thought a woman like you, determined to chase a man, would be willing to do anything, even on the floor."

His words were extremely sarcastic and he looked down at her as if she were worse than a cheap streetwalker.

Bai Xixi pressed her pursed lips and clenched her teeth.

"Believe it or not, I really didn't know Grandpa was coming back. I know you hate me and I am willing to annul our engagement."

She sounded very determined.

Whether it was because of Sheng Shinian, or because of Sheng Zixiao's hatred toward her, she didn't want to marry him and be tortured by him.

But Sheng Zixiao hadn't expected her to say that. He frowned and looked at her doubtfully.

This woman had been relying on his grandfather ever since her family had gone bankrupt. She had done everything she could to please him so that she could marry him.

But now, she was offering to annul their engagement?

How was that possible?

Faced with his doubt, Bai Xixi began to speak honestly.

"Anything forcibly done is not going to be agreeable. I don't want it to be hard for you, but for now, the Bai family can't live without the Sheng family. I have to wait for another half a year to tell Grandpa that we won't make a good couple and ask for an annulment.

"All you need to do during this time is to pretend that we love each other. After half a year, I will give all the money back to the Sheng family and never appear in front of you again.''

She had thought through the plan the previous night.

That was why when she said it, she sounded determined and smooth.

Sheng Zixiao smiled suddenly after hearing her words.

The doubtful expression in his eyes was replaced by mockery, as if he had seen through her.

"Pretend that we love each other? Bai Xixi, you really thought what I would accept that pretense, let my guard down, and grow attached to you?"

Bai Xixi said nothing.

Had he been a peacock in his last life? How come he truly believed that he was awesome and she had to keep on chasing him?

At that moment, outside the wall, a luxurious Pagani slowly drove into the underground parking lot.

Sheng Shinian rarely came back here, but he had specially made time for it today because his father had called him.

As soon as he got out of the car, the shrill buzzing from the corner came to his ears.

"What a shameless woman! She started flirting with Mr. Sheng as soon as they went in the yard."

"Oh yeah, look at that b*tch. She wants to have sex with Mr. Sheng very badly."

"Why doesn't she go to those nightclubs to find her target? She just trashes our Mr. Sheng."

Three servants were whispering in anger as they cleaned.

Every word was spiteful toward Bai Xixi.

Sheng Shinian squinted slightly and glanced at them with a cold look.

Having sensed someone approaching, the servants turned their heads and saw the tall man.

"Mr. Nine!" Suddenly, they became so scared that they all went down on their knees.

Everyone in the Sheng family knew what Mr. Nine was like.

If someone pissed him off, then they would either be killed or made to wish that they would be.

They had stayed in the Sheng family long enough to know that now Mr. Nine was angry and he was being colder than normal.

The three servants went paler and paler and their bodies were shaking. They were very worried.

"We are really sorry, Mr. Nine. We shouldn't have gossiped. Please give us another chance."

However, despite their begging, the cold expression on Sheng Shinian's face didn't change at all.

He glanced at them and said, "Cut their tongues off and throw them out."

He strode off after finishing his words.

The three servants were so scared that they fainted.

Su Nan, who had come with Sheng Shinian, was covered in a cold sweat. He thought, "Looks like Miss Bai is really important to the President.

"Remember, don't mess with her, don't mess with her..."

When Sheng Shinian entered the elevator, his expression was still cold as the conversations of the servants kept flashing through his mind.

Father had said tonight was going to be a family dinner, so why had Bai Xixi come here?

It was in the yard.

Sheng Zixiao still didn't believe Bai Xixi, despite the fact that she had seriously explained her plan many times and she had even proposed signing a contract with their thumbs.

It wouldn't be long until Grandpa Sheng came downstairs for dinner.

She said anxiously, "Mr. Sheng, what can I do to make you believe me?"

Sheng Zixiao raised his brow and said disgustedly, "Show me what it means to pretend that we love each other."

"It's just..." Bai Xixi wanted to answer him.

But his hand suddenly came to her face and stroked it. "Like this?"

Bai Xixi shivered as if she had been shocked by electricity.

Sheng Zixiao didn't give her a chance to react and quickly moved his hand to her waist. "Or like this?"

He was deliberately humiliating her with his sarcastic words and flirty moves.

Bai Xixi was angry and anxious. She couldn't continue talking with this shameless and narcissistic man anymore.

"Let go of me!" she shouted and tried her best to push back.

Feeling that she was trying to push back, Sheng Zixiao squinted and mocked her.

"Let go of you? Bai Xixi, I find that you are not only a bitch but also a good actor. You went to Grandad so that he would force me to marry you, but now you are playing hard to get in front of me? Why don't you become a professional actress?"

Bai Xixi didn't bother to explain to him anymore because no matter what she said, he would never believe her.

She raised her hands and pushed him as hard as she could.

A tiny bottle dropped to the ground as they were struggling.

Sheng Zixiao looked down and saw a medicine name on the bottle.

He sneered, "Ah, you have even prepared some drugs? Still want to pretend?"

Bai Xixi blushed when she saw the bottle. She didn't know how to explain it.

She couldn't say she was going to use it on herself for his Ninth Uncle.

But Sheng Zixiao wouldn't believe her even if she could find another excuse.

Just when Bai Xixi was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in a hole, a cold voice sounded.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Xixi looked around and saw Sheng Shinian, whose expression was extremely cold.

Under the light, his handsome face was covered by an angry and cold expression, hinting at an upcoming storm.

His black eyes, full of devastating coldness, were staring at her and Sheng Zixiao. He looked terrifying!

Her heart sank. Feeling nervous and guilty, she pushed Sheng Zixiao away by instinct.

Sheng Zixiao hadn't expected his Ninth Uncle to appear and to be so cold.

He knew from what had happened the previous night that his Ninth Uncle was on the same side as his grandad. Therefore, he would never let his Ninth Uncle know about his relationship with Bai Xixi.

He raised his brow and smiled, "Ninth Uncle, sorry to appear like this. I was just joking with Xixi."

Sheng Shinian's dark eyes were still staring at Bai Xixi.

"Really? Just joking?"
