Chapter 1427 - 1426: Mr. Cheng's Wishful Thinking

"Lin Bai, thank you!"

Fang Rongrong suddenly spoke up!

"Thank me for what?" Lin Bai's face was full of confusion!

"Thank you for not lying to me!" A forced smile appeared on Fang Rongrong's face, but that trace of a smile looked so bitter!

Lin Bai didn't answer. Instead, he raised the wine glass in his hand, tilted his head back, and poured it down his throat!

Lin Bai said, "It's getting late, I need to head back. Don't drink too much by yourself, be careful."

"Relax, on Demon Island, no one dares to mess with me!" Fang Rongrong said proudly with a smile!

Lin Bai nodded, then stopped hesitating, immediately stood up and walked out of the Rose private room!

"Wait!"

Just as Lin Bai had reached the door, he suddenly heard Fang Rongrong's voice!

Lin Bai turned back with a curious look and asked, "Something else?"

Fang Rongrong's lips moved a few times, then she asked, "Lin Bai, let me ask you, if you didn't have your current wife, if we had met a bit earlier, would we have had a chance to be together?"

Lin Bai pondered for a moment. Instinctively, he wanted to say it was impossible for anyone to have met him earlier than Lin Ya, but ever since he was crippled and started living as an ordinary person, he'd become more smooth around the edges, no longer as blunt and straightforward as before!

Lin Bai said, "Maybe we would."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

As his words fell, Lin Bai reached out and opened the door, then walked straight out of the Rose private room!

Leaving the restaurant, Lin Bai didn't dare to waste a single moment. He sprinted back toward where he lived, worried that in the short time he was away, Lin Ya might be in danger!

However, as Lin Bai left the restaurant, there were two pairs of eyes behind him, locked tightly onto his back!

One of them had a crew cut, and his clothes were stretched tight by his powerful body, giving off a strong sense of explosive strength!

On the side of his face, a scar stood out, making him look rather ferocious!

This man was none other than Mr. Cheng, Cheng Batian, eldest young master of the Cheng Family, one of the four major factions on Demon Island!

And beside Cheng Batian stood Scorpion Man, the one Fang Rongrong had driven away earlier!

This Scorpion Man was also one of Cheng Batian's men!

"Mr. Cheng, that's the punk!"

As soon as Scorpion Man saw Lin Bai, he pointed at him and shouted loudly!

Cheng Batian stared at Lin Bai's back, his eyes filled with a chilling gleam!

"Bold little punk, daring to steal my woman. I'll go kill him right now!"

Cheng Batian was all brawn and little brain. As his angry shout fell, he immediately wanted to rush at Lin Bai!

Scorpion Man reacted quickly and hurriedly stopped Cheng Batian!

"Why are you stopping me?" Cheng Batian roared angrily!

"Mr. Cheng, there are too many people right now. If you really make a move, it won't leave a good impression on Miss Fang. It'll just make her resent you even more," Scorpion Man said shrewdly!

"Then what should I do?" Cheng Batian asked!

"Now isn't the time to strike. Even if we're going to do it, we have to find a place with no one around and quietly take him out," Scorpion Man suggested!

Cheng Batian thought for a moment and felt Scorpion Man made sense. He let out a cold snort: "I'll let that brat live today, let him enjoy a few more days of freedom. Daring to fight me over a woman—I'll make sure he learns what kind of ending that brings!"

Scorpion Man's eyes rolled, a sly look flashing across his face as he said, "Mr. Cheng, why not go directly to the Fang Family to propose? Your Cheng Family and the Fang Family are on good terms. That way you can put pressure on Miss Fang and force her to marry you!"

Cheng Batian looked suddenly enlightened. "Why didn't I think of that? Haha! Scorpion, good thing I've got a strategist like you by my side. Once I win Fang Rongrong over, there'll be plenty of benefits for you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"

Scorpion Man quickly bowed with cupped fists, but as he lowered his head, a trace of sinister intent appeared on his cheek!

"Enough! Keep people tailing that Lin kid for me. I'm going upstairs to check on Rongrong!" Cheng Batian said!

"Yes, Mr. Cheng!" Scorpion Man nodded!

Then Cheng Batian stopped hesitating and strode toward the restaurant!

After Lin Bai left, Fang Rongrong didn't leave right away. Instead, she kept drinking, one glass after another, drowning her sorrows!

By now, her face was flushed red, like freshly washed cherries, and her eyes had grown somewhat hazy!

"Click~"

Just then, the door opened!

Cheng Batian didn't knock at all; he just pushed the door open and walked in!

Fang Rongrong was already in a foul mood, and she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Batian to begin with. Seeing him suddenly barge in so rudely, her tone went cold: "Who told you to come in? Get out!"

Cheng Batian had walked in wearing a broad grin, but the moment he heard that, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a hidden chill!

Still, when his gaze swept over Fang Rongrong's voluptuous, graceful figure and he imagined the day he would finally conquer her, Cheng Batian hurriedly smothered that coldness and forced the smile back onto his face: "Rongrong, why did you drink so much? Don't drink anymore. I'll take you back to the Fang Family!"

"Cheng Batian, I'll drink however I damn well please. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to control me? And who told you to come in? Get out!" Fang Rongrong snapped coldly!

Cheng Batian kept up the coaxing tone: "Rongrong, don't be impulsive. I was just being kind, coming to send you home."

"Stop! From now on you're not allowed to call me Rongrong. You're not qualified to use that name. And secondly, I don't need your kindness!" Fang Rongrong lashed out mercilessly!

Cheng Batian was a hothead with a simple brain to begin with. After hearing Fang Rongrong's words, he finally couldn't take it anymore. A layer of fury burned across his face as he shouted, "Fang Rongrong, don't be so ungrateful! Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back!"

"Behind your back? What have I done?" Fang Rongrong asked!

"Hmph! Tell me, what's your relationship with that Lin brat?" Cheng Batian barked!

"Heh! Cheng Batian, are you really like the rumors say, that a donkey kicked you in the head when you were a kid? What's my relationship with Lin Bai got to do with you? Who are you to me? What right do you have to管我?" Fang Rongrong sneered coldly!

Hearing that, Cheng Batian completely lost it. As Fang Rongrong had said, when he was a child, his head really had been kicked by a donkey during play, which is why he ended up all brawn and no brains, like he was missing a screw!

But because the Cheng Family was so terrifying, no one dared to mention this matter. It was also Cheng Batian's taboo. Now, hearing Fang Rongrong bring it up without the slightest restraint, he erupted in fury!

"Fang Rongrong, everyone knows there are two pairs of Golden Boy and Jade Girl on Demon Island. One pair is Li and Liu, and the other pair is us..."

"Shut up!"

Cheng Batian had only said half of his sentence when Fang Rongrong suddenly cut him off without mercy!
