Chapter 25 Sine and Cosine
Chapter 25 Sine and Cosine
Li Yue stared at Mo Li as he solved another problem as if it was a walk in the park. She frowned. The world is indeed unfair. This Mo Li is not only handsome, but he is also rich, smart, fit, tall, and had a very cold look in his eyes. This type of man should also get jealous easily and is very possessive. Isn't he the type of toxic man that every female lead would want in their lives?
Li Yue let out a sighed while turning her head away. That was the reason why she was not the female lead. If this type of man were to be the one to accompany her in her lifetime, she would probably poison him to death and make it look like a suicide. Or maybe she will tamper with his car and let him die in an accident. Maybe she should have his helicopter explode, that would surely kill him on the spot. She nodded inwardly. As expected, her ways are really genius.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Eh? I am …. Tired." She beamed.
He eyed her paper and frowned. "Are you tired of staring at me?"
"Heh." She had really forgotten to include this man's confidence in himself. "That sister of yours… is quite the schemer, no?" She changed the topic. It is better to talk like this than solving sines and cosines, alright? "She had actually put some aphrodisiac in the vents."
"What do you mean?"
"That jasmine smell."
"But you asked her to bring it here." Suspicion flashed in his eyes. "I am telling you… You are not my type."
"Hehehe…" Li Yue faked a bout of laughter. "You think… you're my type? You're extremely rude and bossy, just the type of man that I hate."
"And yet here you are."
"Well… you are rich. So…" Sometimes… survival is more important than principles. Mo Li shook his head in helplessness. When it comes to talking, this Li Yue is not someone that just anyone like could just defeat. He decided to start solving the problems instead. Sometimes… solving a problem is more important than losing his intelligence over an argument.
Seeing him going back to his mathematical equations, Li Yue sighed and opened her tablet so she could start painting. Mo Li did not really need her help. It was obvious that his man knows what he was doing. She was sure he only wanted her here because of his stepsister who was clearly in love with him.
As if on cue, Bai Lan knocked on the door. After a few seconds, she turned the knob and said, "Elder brother… would you mind helping me in the kitchen? I was going to bring everything here in one go but it was too heavy. "
"Ask some servants to help you. I'm busy." Mo Li said without even lifting his head.
Li Yue, who was originally looking at her tablet, smiled. "Sister Lan… I just gave him some hard problems to solve. He won't be able to help you. Surprisingly, Li is really hardworking today."
Bai Lan immediately paled when she heard how Li Yue had called her elder brother. She looked at him, hoping that he would raise his head to correct Li Yue or at least frown in response but none of those things happened. Instead, Mo Li continued solving the problem, his gaze lowered onto the notebook. Slowly, hatred started to consume Bai Lan's heart. It was as if her gaze was dyed red as she looked at Li Yue's smiling face.
"Then… how about you, Miss Li?" she asked.
"I don't allow her to lift anything heavy." Finally, Mo Li raised his head. But instead of looking at Bai Lan he looked at Li Yue and smiled. "She is too skinny to lift anyway."
It was as if someone had stabbed a really sharp knife into Bai Lan's chest. She could feel her heart bleed and her breathing became sparse as she looked at how Mo Li stared at Li Yue. As she feared, these two have some sort of a special relationship.
"Stop calling me skinny! Isn't this your fault? You've never allowed me to eat more than one bowl every time we have lunch together!"
Bai Lan staggered when she heard Li Yue's words. Lunch? They were having lunch together? Her gaze shifted from Li Yue to Mo Li who only smiled and shook his head helplessly. Their actions were so natural and gentle that Bai Lan wondered how long these two have known each other. Slowly, tears pooled in her eyes as she closed the door without saying another word. How could Elder Brother Mo Li hurt her like this? Is he really oblivious to her feelings?
When Li Yue saw Bai Lan leave, she shook her head and look at Mo Li who was again, ignoring her. "You really are mean. If you don't like her… then just tell her that you don't like her. Stop asking her to cook for you and get her hopes up. Don't just treat me like this in front of the poor woman."
As a woman, Li Yue understood how cruel they had been just now. However, something like this could have easily been avoided if Mo Li just told Bai Lan that he would never like her. Isn't it too simple to say? I don't like you.
Those four words that could have cleared everything.
"Stop being so nosy." He uttered without looking at her. In response, Li Yue let out another sigh. This guy might not be the full villain yet. But… his means are already this cruel.
'Robot… I am not allowed to kill the villain nor the protagonist of any world. How about them. Are they allowed to kill me?'
[Yes. They are.]
Li Yue frowned. Just what kind of messed up system is this?
In the end, Li Yue went back to her art. "I need to buy a phone later so …. You'll have to ask someone to send me to the mall."
"No." Mo Li said. "It's already dark. Buy a new phone tomorrow."
Li Yue looked at him before she helplessly nodded. He could only hope that this villain would not kill her in the future or her mission would be screwed!
