TLCBITAR Chapter 69

Chapter 69: The Male Lead is Getting More and More Terrifying

Zhou Zhou lightly stepped out of the room, walking towards the elevator along the empty corridor.

The location of the elevator was far from the dining room, a blind spot in terms of visibility.

As soon as he stepped into the elevator, his pupils shrank slightly.

Although he had been here before, he couldn’t help but be shocked again.

Was it really necessary to make it so luxurious? It was like an art exhibition hall.

The elevator descended to the first floor, the doors opening with a “ding.”

He instantly tensed up, afraid that the sound would reach Pei Yanlie’s ears.

Seeing that there was no one outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, lightened his steps and quickly walked out, jogging towards the back door.

He slowed down, muttering, “If he finds out I sneaked away, will he be furious?”

Pei Yanlie was leaning against the wall next to the back door. Seeing Zhou Zhou come out, he raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, “Zhou Zhou, the dining room is not this way.”

[Fuck! How is Pei Yanlie here!!!]

Zhou Zhou instantly pressed himself against the door, his expression terrified, so frightened that he lost his voice. He could only stare at the man in black with wide eyes.

Pei Yanlie’s eyes were dark, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a dangerous undertone, “Where were you trying to run off to?”

Zhou Zhou swallowed, saying dryly, “No, Pei Shixiong’s house is too big, I just got lost.”

[This is bad, if I fight Pei Yanlie, I definitely won’t have a chance.]

“Let’s go, breakfast is ready.”

Pei Yanlie raised his chin slightly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

“Okay,” Zhou Zhou instantly lowered his head dejectedly, looking like a frostbitten eggplant, emitting an aura of resentment.

Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes to look at him, asking in a low voice, “Unhappy?”

“I’m a little uncomfortable after drinking too much, thank you for bringing me back last night…”

[I’ve never had anything good happen after getting drunk a few times. No, next time I’ll find a place with no one around to practice my drinking!]

A dark light flashed quickly in Pei Yanlie’s eyes, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. “Since you can’t hold your liquor, you should drink less in the future.”

He muttered to himself, “I used to be able to drink a lot.”

Pei Yanlie remained noncommittal.

The two slowly walked to the dining room and sat down facing each other.

A luxurious and exquisite breakfast had already been placed on the table.

[Pei Yanlie, I know you’re rich, but preparing so much breakfast is really wasteful.]

Zhou Zhou complained inwardly.

Pei Yanlie looked directly at him and asked, “No appetite?”

“No, it’s just that there are too many kinds of breakfast, I don’t know what to eat.” Zhou Zhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, then picked up his knife and fork and started eating.

Pei Yanlie said meaningfully, “Eat more, you’re too thin.”

Zhou Zhou: …

[Don’t act like Zhou Hongwei.]

[Are you really concerned about whether I’m thin or not?]

He buried his head and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, then picked up a sandwich and took a big bite.

Pei Yanlie ignored his complaints, eating breakfast slowly and methodically. The diamond watch on his wrist reflected a dazzling light with the movement of his arm.

Zhou Zhou was slightly squinted by the light of the diamonds. It seemed that Pei Yanlie had a special fondness for diamonds and the like, even the bathroom switches were inlaid with diamonds.

After breakfast, he got into Pei Yanlie’s car and headed to the roadside stall where they had supper last night.

Zhou Jin’s car was still parked there, he had to drive it home.

The car was silent. Zhou Zhou rested his chin on one hand, his gaze falling on the scenery outside the window, his mind churning like a stormy sea.

He felt a hot gaze on his back, but he didn’t dare to turn around, afraid of meeting Pei Yanlie’s face.

How imposing he was to the perverted man last night, that’s how cowardly he was to Pei Yanlie at this moment.

There was no way, the male lead’s power was overwhelming.

Why did he bring himself back?

Kindness? Or ulterior motives?

A burst of throbbing pain came from his head, so he simply stopped thinking about it. No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t guess Pei Yanlie’s thoughts.

He would wait for the last resort. If the drugging still failed, he would give up this wish, no longer entangled in the issue of the male and female leads, and completely devote himself to his life plan.

Arriving at his destination, Zhou Zhou got out of the car without hesitation, turned around and calmly said, “Pei Shixiong, I’ll go back first, goodbye.”

Pei Yanlie gave a light “hmm,” his gaze quickly sweeping across Zhou Zhou’s neck, and said in a hoarse voice, “There are a lot of mosquitoes lately, remember to apply some ointment when you get back.”

Zhou Zhou covered his neck, chuckled twice, took two steps back, slammed the door shut and left.

He opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz SUV, strode into the driver’s seat, and only after the door was closed did his body slump into the seat.

Turning his head to look outside the car window, Pei Yanlie’s car was still parked not far away, the window rolled down, revealing his handsome face with distinct contours.

“Tsk tsk! Why hasn’t he left yet?”

“Sigh, alcohol harms people.”

Zhou Zhou immediately fastened his seat belt, started the engine and stepped on the accelerator in one go, not exhaling until he could no longer see the black Hummer.

It was nine o’clock on a weekend morning, and the bustling streets of Yucheng were filled with cars and people, a scene full of vitality.

This was the real world, no longer a virtual game scene.

He drove his car slowly through the tall buildings, his mood gradually becoming heavy.

Back at Zhou Jin’s villa, he saw two familiar figures.

It was Zhou Hongwei and his stepmother, Yang Xueyun.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but Zhou Hongwei was dressed in a suit and tie, sweating profusely.

Yang Xueyun, on the contrary, was wearing a pink school-style short dress, looking like a teenage girl just from the back.

Zhou Zhou put one hand in his pocket, walked slowly to them and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Zhou Hongwei instantly turned angry, “How are you talking to your father? This is my son’s house, can’t I come here?”

“Then how come this young lady is following you!” Zhou Zhou turned his gaze to Yang Xueyun and complained.

Yang Xueyun blushed instantly upon hearing the words “young lady,” and said, “Your father and I have something to talk to your brother about, and we came to visit you by the way.”

“Oh,” Zhou Zhou raised his foot and walked into the villa, ignoring them.

This indifferent attitude completely provoked Zhou Hongwei, who quickly followed behind Zhou Zhou and roared, “Stop!”

Zhou Zhou lightly clicked his tongue, scratched his ear, turned around and asked, “Old man, what’s the matter?”

“I’ve raised you for so long, is this how you repay the Zhou family?!”

Zhou Zhou said casually, “Oh? Then how do you want me to repay you? By being your slave?”

Zhou Hongwei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Don’t you know Pei Yanlie? I don’t need you to be a slave, you just need to bring him to the Zhou family and set up a connection with Zhou Nian.”

“Sorry, I’m not familiar with Pei Yanlie.”

“You!”

“What’s all the noise so early in the morning?” Zhou Jin slowly walked down the stairs, his face dark.

Zhou Hongwei’s gaze fell on Zhou Jin, seeing that his walking posture was strange, he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with your leg, why are you walking crookedly?”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Zhou Jin’s expression, and he explained in a low voice, “I sprained my ankle.”
