Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 704 Do as I say

Tao Meng looks at his lackey. He knew they were stirring trouble, but he didn’t care. This wasn’t the first time and he didn’t feel like telling them to stop.

He looks in the direction of Yue Ling, and despite three tables separating them, his eyes still met hers.

Seeing how stunningly beautiful she looked, he smiles to her like he was greeting her. He swore his smile was nice and attractive, but to others, it was a smile that could give one a lifetime of a nightmare.

"My men are only bluffing. I hope everyone here doesn’t mind. To make things better, order whatever you want, it’s on me tonight."

His words fell and his lackeys cheered joyfully. Unlike them, Yue Ling and her subordinates were indifferent without care.

She (Yue Ling) kept her gaze on Tao Meng. No emotion can be seen on her face and it made one unable to read her mind.

The longer Tao Men stared at her, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver crawl down his spine. For some reason, she looked very familiar, like their first encounter was not only at Moonlight. However, he just couldn’t put his hand on it as he knows he’s only seen photos of her.

Feeling another chill down his spine, he looks away from her and takes a cigarette out from his pocket.

Yue Ling watched his every move. She doesn’t why he would suddenly appear in this part of Imperial, but she knows that something is amiss.

Her eyes shift from the bulky leader to the other ten men. She has never met them in person but being the leader of Fate, she knows very well who they are.

So long as they do not cross the line, she will not retaliate. However, if they do, do not blame her for collecting their fate. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

"Apologies for the long wait. Here are your food and drinks."

Uncle Nuo returns with a tray of food and drinks. It took him a while because he had to fry everything on the menu as there was none left that was already cooked.

He carefully set them down on the tables for Tao Meng, then sped back to grab another tray for the ten men.

"If you need anything, just call for me. I will be at my food stall preparing more food."

Tao Meng lowers his head down to the food then steals a glance at Yue Ling. Seeing that she was no longer looking his way, a wave of displeasure grew inside him.

"You can go away now."

He sends off Uncle Nuo with a wave and looks down at the food and alcohol. An idea came to his mind and reach to grab Ling’s wrist. With a slight tug, he pulls her from her chair and forces her to sit on his lap.

"Pour me a drink."

Ling Ni had kept her head lowered the entire time since they arrived. She didn’t dare to raise her head as Tao Meng never liked when she looks at others, especially when there are men around.

"Ah."

However, to suddenly be grabbed by him then pulled to sit on his lap, she was startled and yelped a small cry.

His hold on her wrist was so tight, she swore if he were to use a little more strength, her arm would break.

Tao Meng saw her blushed expression and laughs loudly. His hand on her wrist loosens and he places his arm around her waist. He gently caresses the side of her thigh and ignores everyone else.

"Why are you acting sky? It’s not like I haven’t held you in my arms before."

He glances at everyone and notices that some were looking their way. It aroused a burning sensation inside him, and he laughs again as he pulls her closer to his chest.

"I see, it’s because many eyes are looking this way."

His words fell in teasing and ridicule. Casting a side glance at those looking at them, he scoffs arrogantly.

"Ignore their curious eyes. They probably have never seen a man and woman this intimate in public."

He looks back at Ling Ni and his hand on her back slowly moves up. He traces her back with the tips of his hands and put on the appearance of a man dotting his woman.

However, seeing how stiffed she looked, he furrowed his brows.

Why isn’t she reacting to him?

He leans closer to her ear and whispers in a voice that sounded like a low growl.

"If you don’t do as I say, I don’t mind ripping off your clothes and having my way with you in front of all these people. Is that what you want? Hm?"

Ling Ni flinches in fear at his warning. She clenches her fists tightly on her lap but only for a quick second. She has been with Tao Meng long enough to know how he is.

Anything he says, he will do it. Even if there are many people, he will still take her as he’s done it before.

She inhales a deep breath to suppress herself and finally lifts her head. She reaches for the bottle of liquor and picks it up.

However, just as she was about to pour it into an empty cup, her eyes trembles uncontrollably when she saw a person.

The distance was far, but she was sure as this person was someone with a very familiar face.

"Liu..."

She unknowingly whispers his name but suddenly stops herself. She hasn’t seen him around their apartment complex since they met for a talk.

Seeing him again, she felt a suffocating tightness in her chest. However, she was afraid Tao Meng might hear her and cause trouble for him.

Her eyes quaver for a long second before she looks away from Liu Shan and pours the liquor into the empty cup.

Why is it that, ever since they stopped seeing each other, each time he sees her, she is always in a pitiful position?

If she knew he was going to be here, she would have pleaded with Tao Meng to drop her off at her place.

However, she knows that it was too late for her to regret anything.

She finishes filling the cup and set the bottle of liquor down. Picking up the cup, she held it out to Tao Meng.

"Here you go."
