Chapter 45: A Tight Embrace

Chapter 45: A Tight Embrace

Li Mengxue's words to Zhou Lang were nothing short of a blatant seduction.

"The joke has gone too far. It seems she really intends to give herself to me. But I am a Cultivator; how should I define my relationship with Li Mengxue? This is truly a difficult matter."

Zhou Lang couldn't help but think after hearing Li Mengxue's words.

Right now, it would be easy for him to win over Li Mengxue, as she had already taken the initiative in front of him. However, he already had ambiguous relationships with Xiao Xi, Zhao Xiaorou, and Ivanova. If he possessed Li Mengxue, and she couldn't accept that he had many women, what would he do if she accused him of deceiving her feelings?

This was a difficult matter. After all, he was a responsible man, not the type who would turn cold and heartless after sleeping with a woman. He didn't want to easily hurt a woman's heart.

"Sister, I… I'll go first." Zhou Lang's face flushed, and he left somewhat embarrassed.

"This brat, still feeling embarrassed, he's really so cute."

Watching Zhou Lang leave, Li Mengxue felt that the somewhat green Zhou Lang had deeply touched her heart. Originally, she had felt that at her age, she wouldn't fall for a man younger than herself because she didn't like immature men. But Zhou Lang's greenness made her find that feeling from her girlhood days. Her heart trembled, unable to extricate herself.

Of course, if Zhou Lang were purely green, she certainly wouldn't like him. But besides being green, Zhou Lang also possessed high-level martial arts skills and even a mysterious background. She had always believed that a man who could make Duan Wei so obedient was absolutely not simple.

…

After leaving Li Mengxue's Villa, Zhou Lang finally turned on his phone.

Last night, he knew that something would definitely happen between him and Li Mengxue, so he had turned off his phone early to avoid being disturbed.

As soon as he turned it on, he saw two missed calls, one from Ivanova and one from Zhao Xiaorou.

Zhou Lang first returned a call to Zhao Xiaorou. Zhao Xiaorou was asking why he hadn't returned last night. When he called, Zhao Xiaorou was on her way to work, so they didn't say much.

Subsequently, he called Ivanova back. Regarding Ivanova, he still had some expectations. He hoped Ivanova could be his woman. After all, she was a stunning mixed-race beauty, something rare and difficult to find. Every man would probably dream of pinning such a beauty beneath him.

"Brother Lang, why was your phone off last night? Was it because I was hesitant about whether or not to be your girlfriend, so you didn't want to deal with me? Or were you off enjoying intimacy with your beautiful boss and didn't want to be disturbed by me?"

As soon as the call connected, Ivanova said this. The mixed-race beauty's words were simply full of jealousy.

"Almost all women only wish to be the only one for their beloved man. Whatever you choose, I won't blame you. Even if you aren't willing to be my girlfriend, we can still be good friends."

Zhou Lang explained with a smile: "As for the second matter, you are overthinking it. Last night, after I dropped Boss Li Mengxue off, I returned to my own place. My phone had some problems last night, so I took it to get fixed. I just got it back, and as soon as I could turn it on, I called you immediately."

Zhou Lang was, of course, lying. However, in front of women, one cannot always tell the truth. If he had told the truth—that he had held Li Mengxue and slept all night—even if Ivanova had decided to be his woman, she would likely change her mind in an instant.

"Then are you free now?" Ivanova's voice softened: "I want to see you."

"Of course I have time. You name a place," Zhou Lang said.

"Let's meet by the Long River again," Ivanova said.

"Okay, I'll be there in fifteen minutes," Zhou Lang said. By the Long River, he had stolen Ivanova's first kiss. Now that Ivanova had chosen this place to meet him, he vaguely felt that Ivanova would choose to disregard worldly conventions and become his woman.

…

While Zhou Lang was hailing a taxi to head towards the Long River, Zhang Deyuan, who had just come out of the hospital, was calling Supervisor Cao Yushan. He had been brutally beaten by Ivanova, and he was currently fuming with anger.

"Yushan, didn't you say you'd help me find someone to beat up Zhou Lang? Have you found anyone? To tell you the truth, the injuries on my face weren't caused by my own carelessness, but by Ivanova. Find me someone to beat up Zhou Lang, and while you're at it, grab Ivanova too! I want to give them a taste of their own medicine!"

Zhang Deyuan said straight to the point to Supervisor Cao Yushan. As soon as he left the hospital, he was thinking about retaliating against Ivanova and warning Zhou Lang to stop getting close to Ivanova.

"Manager Zhang, let's not look for trouble with Zhou Lang. We can't afford to offend that kid." Supervisor Cao Yushan gasped.

Last night, Zhang Deyuan had been in the hospital and didn't know about Li Qi bringing people to cause trouble at the Lovers Bar, so he didn't know the extent of Zhou Lang's power. But Supervisor Cao Yushan had seen everything that happened last night.

Zhou Lang could slap an iron ball into a meat patty and could make a big shot like Duan Wei bow and obey orders. He wasn't stupid; how could he dare to offend Zhou Lang?

"Zhou Lang has become Boss Li Mengxue's kept man and bodyguard, and you're already afraid of him? You coward."

Zhang Deyuan cursed. He was the manager of the Lovers Bar, and Supervisor Cao Yushan had always followed his lead. This time, Supervisor Cao Yushan was backing down, and of course, he was very unhappy.

"Manager Zhang, it's not like that. Listen to me…"

Supervisor Cao Yushan hurriedly explained, wanting to tell Zhang Deyuan what had happened last night. After all, he was Zhang Deyuan's subordinate. If he didn't help Zhang Deyuan find people to teach Zhou Lang and Ivanova a lesson, he was afraid Zhang Deyuan would make things difficult for him in the future.

"You coward. If you won't find people for me, I'll find them myself!" Zhang Deyuan didn't know the reason behind it. After cursing, he angrily hung up the phone.

"This Zhang Deyuan, why won't he listen to my explanation?"

Supervisor Cao Yushan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that if Zhang Deyuan called people to cause trouble for Zhou Lang, he would definitely suffer. This had nothing to do with him, but he worried that after Zhang Deyuan suffered, he would blame him for not telling him about Zhou Lang's situation.

So Supervisor Cao Yushan immediately dialed Zhang Deyuan back, but he dialed several times in a row, and Zhang Deyuan didn't answer.

"Something big is going to happen now. Ivanova was able to beat Zhang Deyuan into a pig's head. If he runs into that fierce man Zhou Lang, Zhang Deyuan might lose his life."

Supervisor Cao Yushan was extremely anxious, but since Zhang Deyuan wouldn't answer the phone, there was nothing he could do!

…

When Zhou Lang arrived by the Long River, Ivanova was already waiting at the place where they had met last time.

Ivanova was wearing a white camisole top, black hot pants, and crystal high heels. She wore a pair of sunglasses, looking beautiful, sexy, and fashionable.

It was past eight in the morning, and the sun had already risen. Although it was the height of summer, because they were by the river, a breeze was blowing, so it wasn't too hot.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Zhou Lang said with a faint smile as he walked up to Ivanova.

"Brother Lang."

As soon as Ivanova saw Zhou Lang, she took off her sunglasses, walked quickly towards him, and hugged him tightly.
