The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 620 - Chapter 620 Chapter 620 He's Crazy About Her Straightforwardness

Chapter 620: Chapter 620 He’s Crazy About Her Straightforwardness Chapter 620: Chapter 620 He’s Crazy About Her Straightforwardness Yun Sang had an air of “beg me to become sworn siblings with Lu Mian,” which irritated Xiao Qimo even more.

The refined man gave Yun Sang a sidelong glance with the corner of his eye, sneering lightly.

“You can rest assured that as long as I’m around, that scenario won’t come true.”

He found that Yun Sang was becoming more and more arrogant, always coveting his Lu Mian and constantly trying to use seniority to suppress him.

In your dreams!

“Xiao Qimo, you’re being too much!

I’m just trying to make her my sworn sister, not stealing your wife!

Besides, if I did become sworn siblings with Lu Mian, I’d definitely speak up for you.

Isn’t taming a character like your cousin a piece of cake?

So petty!”

Xiao Qimo was indeed petty, very much so.

“Thanks, but I have my own elder cousin, I don’t need another one to make my life harder!”

Xiao Qimo rolled his eyes at Yun Sang and walked outside.

Yun Sang let out a frustrated sigh.

Annoying.

In the yard.

Lu Mian leaned casually against a tree, relaxed and at ease.

Lu Xi revolved around her and the tree, trying to persuade her earnestly and tirelessly.

“Mianmian, listen to your brother and stay at my apartment.

It’s small, but it’s safe.

A girl like you living outside with a bunch of boys eyeing you covetouslyaEUR”how could I be at ease?”

“Brother, I’m pretty good at fighting, really, it’s not a big deal.” Lu Mian was almost ready to demonstrate for him.

Being taken advantage of was virtually non-existent for her.

Unless Director Qimo actually laid a hand on her, she was always the one doing the oppressing.

But Director Qimo would never actually do that.

As a man, Lu Xi understood men’s minds all too well; he didn’t believe those men could remain untempted around such a beautiful girl, especially that seemingly cultured Director Qimo, who knows what he was thinking on the inside.

He massaged his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

“Mianmian, sometimes men won’t force themselves on you, but they have plenty of tricks up their sleeves.” Lu Xi looked at Lu Mian’s indifferent attitude and suddenly felt uneasy, “Mianmian, tell me the truth, what’s the extent of your relationship with this Director Qimo?

Have you two ever…”

Being a male himself, he found it awkward to ask this question.

But considering the way Lu Mian’s parents were, and the few people at home who cared about her, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

Lu Mian tilted her head, puzzled.

“What should be there is there, and what shouldn’t be isn’t,” Lu Mian replied, blinking her clear eyes.

“…” This answer made it impossible for Lu Xi to continue his inquiry, and he chided helplessly, “Have you forgotten all that your brother advised you before?!”

“Of course I remember.

But Director Qimo has never done those things, I’ve checked for you,” she reassured him.

Lu Mian bent slightly at the waist, her forehead’s stray hairs falling in front of her eyes.

She kicked the pebble on the ground with the tip of her shoe nonchalantly, adding, “Big brother, I’m quite comfortable when I’m with him; I like this state of affairs.”

“…”

Suddenly, Lu Xi felt like an evil mother-in-law trying to break up a relationship.

He paused and then asked, “Are you really not leaving?”

“Not leaving.”

“Well then, I’m not going back either.

I’ve been preparing the design drafts anyway, and I can do that anywhere.” Lu Xi dropped this remark reluctantly.

“That’s great.” Lu Mian didn’t mind Lu Xi staying; in fact, she welcomed him, “You can take the time to check out Director Qimo yourself, he’s definitely not the kind of person you imagine.”

When Xiao Qimo walked over, he just caught Lu Mian speaking well of him, which warmed his heart.

Lu Mian straightened up and naturally looped her arm through Xiao Qimo’s, formally introducing him to Lu Xi, “Big Brother, his name is Xiao Qimo, and he’s my boyfriend.”

Being introduced so openly by Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo swept away all the previous gloom.

He was the boyfriend she proudly presented to her relatives, an intimate lover she could mention without hesitation.

Though sometimes he felt troubled and worried by the girl’s frankness, at this very moment, he absolutely adored her straightforwardness.

If he liked someone, he liked them to death.

If he disliked someone, he disliked them to death.

The only thing he was worried about now was the attitude of the big brother-in-law before him.

Lu Xi was different from Fu Yu.

Lu Mian’s uncle on her mother’s side was seemingly gentle but a saboteur in secret.

Mr.

Lu Xi looked polite and modest but was actually a…

sister-complex, harboring no small animosity toward him.

“Mr.

Lu, hello,” Xiao Qimo greeted the man with gentlemanly manners.

When Lu Xi saw Xiao Qimo, he didn’t ponder over the “Xiao” in his name and what it might imply; his primary concern was his sister’s wellbeing.

Even though he knew he was no match for the other in all aspects, he still protected Lu Mian behind him and asked Xiao Qimo in a cold tone, “Mr.

Xiao, right?

.co

You’re a role model at Kunpeng High School.

Do you think what you’re doing is appropriate?”

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, meeting Lu Xi’s scrutinizing gaze.

His imposing presence just couldn’t stand up to it.

“Mr.

Lu, regarding this matter, we can sit down and talk about it.”

“Good, we have plenty of time to talk,” Lu Xi said, conceding a step.

At heart, he was indeed a modest person.

He was only anxious and on edge because he learned his sister had been deceived by a scoundrel in sheep’s clothing.

Xiao Qimo smiled faintly.

Yun Sang came striding over, joining in to smooth things over.

“Mr.

Lu, I am the captain of the Shadow Hunting Team, Yun Sang.

We’re very pleased to have you visit us.

Please, come this way.”

Lu Xi glanced sideways at Lu Mian, then turned his head to look at Yun Sang and, trying to shock with his words, asked, “Are you also one of Mianmian’s suitors?”

“…”

Yun Sang’s motion of reaching out for a handshake was halted halfway, his arm suspended in midair.

He stiffly turned his neck, noticing Xiao Qimo’s expression had darkened as if burnt, then hurriedly explained with a mix of a smile and seriousness, “Mr.

Lu, you’re mistaken.

I see Lu Mian as a sister, even closer than a real sister!”

Yun Sang, almost desperate for Lu Xi to believe him, nearly bared his heart right there.

Lu Xi nodded in understanding, “I can tell, you indeed seem more agreeable to me than Mr.

Xiao.”

One could discern a man’s intentions from his eyes, and Lu Xi was no fool.

Yun Sang’s gaze was much purer than that of Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo: …Big brother-in-law, I’m right here.

—

Lu Xi moved efficiently, bringing his computer, drawing tablet, and some daily necessities over from his apartment.

He wasn’t in a rush to get to work recently as he needed to participate in a game design competition hosted by Sufeng Game Company.

The press conference was in five days, where the theme of the competition would be revealed.

Thus, within these five days, he only needed to do some simple preparatory work.

Lu Mian, still a week away from school, could also spend these days with Lu Xi.

She arranged a room for him, and as she saw him taking out sketchbooks, paints, brushes, and other tools from his suitcase, she remembered his competition.

“Big Brother, you still don’t know the content of the competition?”
