  When Lin Que, who was hiding, saw Si Yehan leave, he was going to talk to him. Who knew he would see Ye Wanwan run into Si Yehan when he was about to go over? And so, he hastily slammed on the brakes and hid again while cautiously following them.

  Ye Wanwan followed Lord Asura into a study.

  Lin Que quickly hid by the doors and leaned toward the door crack.

  After Si Yehan entered the room, he sat down on the broad leather chair behind the desk and peered up at her with an apathetic expression. “Do you need something, President Bai? Please speak frankly.”


  When Ye Wanwan met his indifferent expression, a familiar twitching pain plagued her heart again.

  If it wasn’t convenient to speak earlier due to the presence of people earlier, there was no reason for him to pretend not to recognize her now, right?

  Ye Wanwan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She chuckled lightly and said, “Lord Asura really looks like a friend of mine, so I’m extremely curious…”


  The man expressionlessly replied, “There are many similar-looking people in this world.”


  Ye Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly. “Oh? Is that so? Then if I may ask you, Lord Asura, why did you keep defending the Fearless Alliance back at the manor? Isn’t your elbow about to… break from how outwardly you’re twisting?it1??”


  The man glanced at her calmly. “As long as I achieve my goal, the process isn’t important. After the Yan family finishes paying off their debt, the Fearless Alliance’s tribute will still need to be paid on time every month.”


  In other words, his objective today was to collect tributes and money; anything would do as long as he collected the money.

  When Ye Wanwan saw the man’s flawless facade, the small flame in her heart ignited with a roar.

  Is this guy freaking flaunting his acting skills with me?

  They look the exact same! I’d only believe his nonsense if I was blind!

  Ye Wanwan naturally wouldn’t believe him that easily.?Fine! You want to flaunt your acting skills, right?!

  I’ve never been afraid of anyone when it comes to flaunting acting skills!

  Ye Wanwan idly walked toward the study step by step. “Then… What if I don’t have any money and refuse to pay?”


  Ye Wanwan reached the study by the time she finished speaking. She supported herself with both hands on the desk and leaned forward, pressing closer toward him.

  Si Yehan looked up at the girl who was an arm’s length away from him. He only needed to reach out, and he would be able to embrace her…


  “President Bai can try,” Si Yehan icily said.

  When she heard his threat, she cast her head down, her fingers slowly clenching. In the next second, she suddenly looked up, her bright and beautiful eyes brimming with enticing happiness. Her voice was languid as she stressed every word. “Is that so?”


  Ye Wanwan bent down abruptly and leaned closer to the man’s ears, leaving only millimeters between them.

  Accompanied by her gentle breaths, her voice rang next to his ear: “Lord Asura, I definitely don’t have the money… How about I… give myself up as collateral to you?”


  The man’s back grew extremely taut in an instant, and his eyes turned so dark that there wasn’t a ray of light.

  When Lin Que saw this scene from behind the door, he nearly exclaimed in shock and hastily clutched his mouth.

  Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! This girl is too crafty! Absolutely too crafty!

  She resorted to this trick!

  Who knows whether Ninth Brother can resist it…


  For some reason, he pitied Ninth Brother a lot suddenly…


  Ye Wanwan chuckled lightly and cheerfully looked at him with hints of provocation in her eyes.

  Yes, she was forcing him to reveal a crack!

  Chapter 1419: You’re not amazing just ’cause you’re good-looking!

  The girl’s cunning and provocative smile were simply like poison that eroded the city wall around his heart and nearly defeated him in an instant.

  Numbness tingled through Si Yehan’s heart. He didn’t know how he suppressed his desire to embrace and kiss her…


  A mere few seconds felt like several centuries had passed.

  “So?” Ye Wanwan asked.

  Si Yehan’s gaze was cool and calm as he nonchalantly glanced at her. “I never perform deficit transactions.”


  When Ye Wanwan heard this, she froze for three seconds before utter disbelief filled her.

  OH MY GOD!!!

  She wanted to pay with her body and this guy actually said he would be suffering a loss!

  Even if… even if you’re good looking… even if I also think I would profit… It doesn’t mean you’re amazing just ’cause you’re good looking!

  “You…” Ye Wanwan’s eyes shot wide open. She was about to explode from fury and couldn’t say anything but “you” for half a day.

  She straightened her body a moment later and uttered between gritted teeth, “That’s true. With your incomparable good looks, Lord Asura, I’d be the profiteer no matter how you looked at it…”


  At the door, Lin Que swallowed in amazement.

  He thought they’d be done for, but he had to bow down to Ninth Brother’s self-control.

  Ye Wanwan simply couldn’t figure out why Lord Asura and Si Yehan looked identical and were obviously the same person, yet he wouldn’t recognize her or intend to reunite with her. She couldn’t accept this at all.

  What also made her confused was that if Si Yehan really was Lord Asura and possessed such frightening power in the Independent State, why did he return to China and take up position as the Si family’s patriarch?

  It didn’t make sense.

  Moreover, after Si Yehan returned to the Independent State, didn’t he know the Si family’s catastrophe? Was he just going to ignore the Si family’s matters?

  In truth, even when she first discovered everything, even when he left without a word, a thought lingered in her mind. She wanted to believe in him.

  However, this man’s indifference and the way he looked at her like a stranger caused her desperately hopeful heart to chill completely.

  Ye Wanwan’s fury finally reached its peak and erupted. She didn’t want to speak in circles anymore and pointed at the man. “Si Yehan, why did you leave without a word in China back then? Why did you pretend to not know me after seeing me today?”


  It was as though Si Yehan was wearing an impenetrable mask on his face. He said detachedly, “I’m afraid I don’t quite understand President Bai’s words.”


  “You don’t understand?” Ye Wanwan snorted. “Si Yehan, why bother pretending in front of me? Do you dare to say you aren’t Si Yehan?”


  Si Yehan shook his head, calmness returning to his face. “I understand.”


  “You understand?” Ye Wanwan’s brows furrowed slightly.

  The man nodded. “President Bai has mistaken me for a friend of yours. However… I’ve lived in the Independent State since I was born and have never gone to China. I do have a few friends who do business in China, but I’m afraid President Bai has got the wrong person.”


  “You’ve never been to China?” Ye Wanwan stared into his eyes, wanting to find a flaw in his eyes.

  However, Si Yehan’s unfathomable eyes didn’t have a single ripple and looked like the placid surface of a lake.

  “That’s right,” Si Yehan said.

  “How coincidental then that there would be two identical looking people in this world. What’s more coincidental is that my friend is also in the Independent State right now.”
