Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 612: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (26)
Chapter 612: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (26)
Huo Sichen was dressed in a tailored military uniform of the Northern Army, looking exceptionally handsome and dashing.
Seeing Luo Ning walk out of the bank, a perfectly calibrated look of surprise appeared on his face.
He stepped forward a few paces, stood in front of Luo Ning, and greeted her with a smile, "Luo Ning, long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here."
Luo Ning arched an eyebrow, "Whether it’s a coincidence or not, you know best."
Huo Sichen’s expression remained unchanged, "Since we’ve met, how about we have a cup of coffee together?"
Luo Ning scoffed, "There’s no need. Our relationship isn’t at the point where we should be having coffee together."
Huo Sichen’s eyes darkened slightly as he leaned in a bit closer, "Luo Ning, we were husband and wife after all. Are you really that heartless?"
Luo Ning looked at him with disdain, "If you want to think that, fine. But I don’t want to have anything to do with you, my ex-husband."
"You’re really not going?" Huo Sichen frowned.
Luo Ning tilted her chin up, "No, I’m not. Having tea with an ex-husband whom I’ve divorced? I do not have the leisure for that."
Huo Sichen’s face grew darker, "Luo Ning, don’t you regret this!"
Luo Ning curled her lips, "The one with regrets will be you!"
Having said that, she couldn’t be bothered with Huo Sichen anymore and passed by him in her high heels.
Watching Luo Ning’s graceful retreating figure, Huo Sichen’s gaze deepened.
He truly hadn’t expected the woman who once loved him so much and had chased after him for years to change like this.
She indeed had the qualities that attract men now.
Her eyes were filled with cold indifference, without the adoration and shyness that were once there, which annoyed him and at the same time, awakened a desire to conquer her.
He just couldn’t believe that she really had no feelings for him anymore.
After Luo Ning got into her car, he turned around and returned to his own vehicle.
The distance from Lu Mansion to the bank wasn’t short, and there was a somewhat secluded road to pass through.
As his car drove onto this road, suddenly about a dozen men, dressed like gangsters, burst out in front of him.
They had guns in their hands and forcibly stopped the car.
One of the men with a scar on his face knocked on the window.
He spoke in a rough and tough voice, "Miss Luo, our boss invites you over for a visit. We hope you’ll oblige."
Luo Ning wasn’t surprised at all to be blocked here.
Her face did not show much astonishment.
When the other party forcibly opened the car door, she got out on her own initiative.
Then she was taken to another car.
The scar-faced man also got into the passenger seat, and the car turned around and headed in another direction.
Luo Ning sat quietly and silently in the car, which somewhat surprised the thug.
He turned his head to look at Luo Ning and asked, "Aren’t you going to ask who our boss is?"
Normally, if a woman encountered this kind of situation, she would definitely be pale with fear and extremely nervous, incessantly asking questions about who their boss was.
Luo Ning looked up at him calmly, "If I asked, would you tell me?"
The thug laughed, "Of course not."
Luo Ning rolled her eyes, "Well, there you go."
Thug: "..." This woman was way too calm.
And besides, a beauty is a beauty; even rolling her eyes looked good on her.
No wonder she could captivate Young Marshal Lu.
Since Luo Ning didn’t want to talk, he kept his mouth shut too.
About half an hour later, Luo Ning was brought to a church on the outskirts of Beicheng.
The thug gestured politely, "Please, Miss Luo."
I thought they were going to forcibly take Luo Ning, but to my surprise, she elegantly stepped out of the car and walked into the church at her own pace.
The burly man sighed to himself once again, truly a woman worthy of Young Marshal Lu’s attention, setting aside her appearance, just her composure and poise were not that of an ordinary woman.
At this time, only one person stood with his back inside the church. After Luo Ning entered, the burly man and the others withdrew.
Hearing the footsteps, Huo Sichen turned around.
Seeing Luo Ning’s calm and unsurprised demeanor, he was somehow astonished, "It seems you’re not surprised that I asked you here."
Luo Ning walked over and sat down, "Isn’t it obvious? What’s there to be surprised about?"
Huo Sichen looked at Luo Ning as if he never knew her, his gaze filled with sheer interest.
"Luo Ning, you’ve hidden yourself well."
He added, "But I must say, you’ve really caught my attention now."
Any other woman being called in would never have been this calm.
Not to mention, despite being married for four years, he had never taken an interest in her.
Yet, after seeing her twice in three years, he somehow developed an inexplicable sense of possessiveness towards her.
He wanted to steal her away from Lu Xun’s side.
Luo Ning coldly laughed, "Attracting your attention – I think you’d better forget it."
Huo Sichen’s cliché attitude of a man who’s had his attention captured by a woman made her feel nauseated.
She curved her lips, "As for hiding deep, it’s just tit for tat!"
"Who would have thought that Young Commander Huo would also be the new underworld boss rising in Beicheng, dealing with dirty deeds in secret?"
These were things that Lu Xun had found out and shared with her.
The gang that Luo Ning had paid to help her leave Beicheng had been swallowed up by Huo Sichen.
It was precisely when she heard about this that Luo Ning realized not only was Commander Huo failing to be the upright man he pretended to be, but even the seemingly impulsive and unrestrained Huo Sichen had his own complexities behind the scenes.
Huo Sichen paused for a moment, "You know about this too?"
He quickly caught on, "Lu Xun found out and told you? He shares even such matters with you, it seems he really holds you dear."
If it were him, he would never tell a woman such things.
Luo Ning lightly laughed, "I am his darling love; he has no secrets from me."
Huo Sichen, "...," It was the first time he heard a woman say such a thing.
His darling love – he found it nauseating to listen to, she surely did it on purpose.
He scoffed coldly, "Heh, you’re quite confident."
"Of course," Luo Ning lazily leaned back in her chair, "Did you bring me here just to spout this nonsense?"
Huo Sichen, hearing her question, cut to the chase.
He looked at the file bag in Luo Ning’s hand, "Give that to me."
Luo Ning laughed, "You sure don’t beat around the bush."
"But are you worthy of having it?" she shook the file bag in her hand, contemptuously curling her lip.
Huo Sichen crouched in front of Luo Ning, his voice carrying an unprecedented gentleness, "Luo Ning, don’t test my patience."
Luo Ning looked down at him, "And what if I do?"
Huo Sichen’s eyes narrowed, emanating a sinister aura, "How about I lock you up, and keep you like a canary?"
Looking at the now elegantly stunning Luo Ning, he truly felt the urge.
To lock her up and have her all to himself.
Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "You can try, see if you’re capable."
She picked up the file bag in her hand and shook it, "But I think you can’t even get your hands on this."
Huo Sichen’s anger and desire to conquer were completely provoked by Luo Ning; he reached out to embrace her and snatch the file bag from her hands.
Little did he know, before his hand even touched Luo Ning’s shoulder, she suddenly kicked out at him.
