BOOM... BOOM... BOOOM~

There was a frightening peal of thunder, and lightning flashed incessantly, lighting up the sky. A rolling sea of threatening dark clouds churned like a raging tsunami, as flashes of lightning streaked from within, making them appear to glow angrily. It only took a moment for a heavy downpour to make the entire Xiahai city's temperature drop. The neon lights in this stormy weather looked fuzzy and made the whole city seemed rather hazy.

The city streets were still bustling with people and cars, and the city looked lively and busy. There were many pedestrians without umbrellas hiding under any building they could find shelter in. But, those who had raincoats or umbrellas chose to brave through the storm. However, the cars had slowed down on the road due to safety concerns and to avoid potential accidents with other vehicles and pedestrians.

"Can you stop being so barbaric in the future? We can settle all these things through a proper legal procedure. Violence cannot be the answer to every problem."

Su Li tried to convince Xiao Luo in the car for this was the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with. She really disliked his usual way of solving a problem using the most extreme means he could. No sane women in the world would prefer a man with a predisposition toward violence.

"Ms. Su, I admire your magnanimity even though you were taken advantage of. It was amazing that you could remain so calm and unaffected," Xiao Luo responded, keeping his eyes on the road.

"You...!"

Su Li was offended and frustrated that Xiao Luo chose not to even consider her words at all. He didn't get—it was not about her being taken advantage of. Seriously? What did he mean by "unaffected?"

She felt hurt as this man could never get what she meant, even once!

"Alright, you two are like Tom and Jerry—you guys clearly are fond of each other, but you're just stubborn as hell. As an outsider, I have a fair and objective comment to make. None of you guys are willing to take the initiative to break the deadlock. You two would have lived together a long time ago had either of you chosen to do that. Instead, you're living in your apartment separately."

Shen Qingyan chuckled as she finally understood the situation now. "Su Li, you always complain to me about how Xiao Luo does not have a successful career, and you see him as a total loser. This could be interpreted from another perspective—that you're was very concerned about Xiao Luo," she said, "And, Xiao Luo, as for today's little sparring session with Leon—you would not have done that if you did not have a thing for Su Li as you're essentially a gentle person. To make things clear, your feelings for each other are mutual."

She used to look down on Xiao Luo, but she found him quite charming after some time of hanging out with him. She did find him quite charming, actually!

"Huh, who wants to stay together!"

Both Xiao Luo and Su Li responded simultaneously as if they had been practicing it together.

They stared at each other and then looked away immediately. Su Li was blushing while Xiao Luo was expressionless.

"Tsk! You can keep denying it. I'll see how long can you guys live in denial. If you guys ever decided to live together someday, text me, and I'll take Su Xiaobei with me. So you guys can have a sweet and hot honeymoon to yourselves." Shen Qingyan said, smiling cheekily.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Li vehemently denied any such thing. She stared out of the window into the night sky, trying to calm herself down. She stole a fleeting glance at Xiao Luo as she thought, if only this man were not so barbaric and had a successful career, it would be so wonderful. He was the man who made her heart flutter, and she had already set her mind on living with him for the rest of her life—for now, at least.
