Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

Shang Xi silently put down the cup in her hand and stood up.

She looked down at the man opposite her and said, word by word, "Young Master Bei, I don't have much free time to chat with you. I'll be leaving now. Please stay."

However, before she could even step out of the restaurant...

I suddenly felt a surge of malevolent energy behind me, and then my wrist was grabbed and I was dragged to the emergency staircase not far away.

Kitano braced himself against the wall, trapping the person within his arms.

Up close, his pupils gleamed with a cold light, and his sharp eyes exuded a dangerous aura. "Miss Shang, are you a stranger to me?"

Gone is the teasing tone; the words spoken are all cold and detached.

Shang Xi looked up at him without fear, a half-smile on her face, "What, Young Master Bei, are you planning to use some forceful means to seize what you want now?"

"You dragged me into this deserted place, and you think it's fun to 'wall-slam' me?"

"Don't you find the tactics of a domineering CEO from a hundred or eighty years ago boring?"

Kitano was completely bewildered by these three sentences.

Honestly, what on earth are those things like forceful acquisition, wall slams, and domineering CEO tactics?

There are always some people in the world who can only be cool for three seconds.

Kitano happens to be one of them.

Because of his momentary daze, Shang Xi successfully kicked him and escaped his confinement.

The thought of Si Tingye's constant disgust at her for having other people's smells on her made her keep wiping her sleeves as if they had been touched by something dirty.

Kitano was amused by her actions.

He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and said, "My beauty, I'm a little interested in you, even... sexually interested."

There aren't many people in this world who are his type, and even fewer women.

but.

From the moment he first saw Shang Xi in the underground city, a restless feeling ignited in his heart.

He wanted her.

That's why he's willing to spend this time keeping an eye on her.

Even though she was Si Tingye's woman.

Kitano's sharp eyes spotted the hickeys beneath the lace turtleneck, and his gaze darkened. "Miss Shang, what I want to tell you is that Si Tingye and I are the same kind of people. Whatever I want, no matter what it is, I will take it by any means necessary, even if it requires bloodshed. I think... Miss Shang is a smart person, and she probably doesn't want to see us fighting and killing each other over you, right?"

"So, Young Master Bei is issuing me a challenge!" The man's deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out.

Si Tingye, who appeared out of nowhere, was standing at the entrance of the emergency exit, his dark eyes coldly staring at Bei Ye.

Shang Xi had never looked forward to a man's appearance like this before. She walked to his side almost immediately and naturally took his arm.

"Mr. Si, I'm hungry."

"Didn't I feed you all night?"

"..."

"It seems so, otherwise how would you still have the energy to run around and flirt with other women?"

"..." Fine, fine, you're the boss, you call the shots!

Kitano chuckled softly, then asked, seemingly unrelatedly, "It's going to rain in the city for the next few days. Mr. Tsukasa, are you planning to return to the capital today?"

Si Tingye replied indifferently, "With Young Master Bei's abilities, he could probably make the city rain for a whole year without any problem."

At that moment, Shang Xi seemed to understand something.

It turns out that the rain outside today was artificial rain.

Kitano scoffed, saying meaningfully, "This is really boring, which is why I hate dealing with people who are my equals the most. But Mr. Si, you know what I want to say: I hope that next time we meet, it will be me with a beauty by my side, not you!"
