Such a delicate-looking young girl had actually flipped a man much taller than her over her shoulder and slammed him hard onto the ground.
And that was far from all.
She took off her white high heels, knelt on one knee, picked up a shoe, and began fiercely slapping the man’s face.
As she struck him, she cursed angrily, “How dare you harass me! And for three hundred bucks! Let me give you some proper service! Feels good, doesn’t it! Huh! Bet it feels amazing, you pervert!”
The pimply-faced man howled in pain, trying to raise a hand to fight back, only to be swiftly elbowed back down the next second.
What followed was an even more intense “storm of high-heel beatings.”
Huo Shengbai was stunned at first, but the fury in his brow gradually faded, replaced by an expression of admiration and affection.
His precious one was truly amazing!
So fierce and so adorable!
He almost wanted her to hit him a few times too.
This guy was really lucky—he hadn’t even gotten to experience being beaten by Lili.
If Wen Zhili, who was currently pummeling the pervert, could hear Huo Shengbai’s thoughts, she would surely be both amused and exasperated, and probably think he was a pervert too!
Wen Zhili had originally worn her hair in a bun, but in her fervor to beat the pervert, her hairpin came loose, and her dark, beautiful hair cascaded down.
Huo Shengbai was utterly captivated.
If he hadn’t seen that Wen Zhili was tired, panting heavily and covered in sweat, he would have wanted to keep watching.
Huo Shengbai walked over to Wen Zhili, helped her up, and said gently, “You’re tired. Rest for a bit. Leave the rest to my subordinates. I’ll have someone take him to the police station.”
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Wen Zhili didn’t refuse his gesture.
Her chest heaved violently. Though the beating had tired her out, it felt great!
Very few people knew she knew martial arts.
She had avoided using it before because she was worried Huo Cheng would find her too rough. That was until her legs were crippled and she could no longer practice.
Wen Zhili nodded. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you. Thank you, Brother Shengbai.”
Huo Shengbai chuckled softly. “No need to be so polite with me. Shall we go sit at a café? Take a break?”
Wen Zhili said, “Sure, let’s rest. I am tired. I know a milk tea shop nearby…”
As she spoke, she hesitated slightly, glancing at the mature, steady, and aristocratic Huo Shengbai. “Oh, you probably don’t drink milk tea, right?”
Huo Shengbai replied firmly, “I do! Let’s go.”
Only then did Wen Zhili smile. “Alright. It’s my treat.”
Huo Shengbai and Wen Zhili left together for the milk tea shop, leaving Zhang Hengwu to handle the aftermath.
What Wen Zhili didn’t know was that the man speaking so gently to her turned back with a cold glance.
That glance was filled with danger and icy menace.
Zhang Hengwu understood instantly and nodded to show he got it.
He glanced at the pimply-faced man on the ground.
This guy was done for.
Unaware, Wen Zhili led Huo Shengbai to a pink-decorated milk tea shop.
The moment the 1.9-meter-tall Huo Shengbai stepped inside, he naturally became the center of attention for everyone present.
Many women stared with starry eyes, stealing glances at him.
This man was tall and handsome, his entire outfit exuding refinement and luxury, with an elegant aura about him.What was most special was how he looked down at the girl in the dark cheongsam beside him, his face filled with adoration, his gaze so tender it seemed capable of melting anyone.
“I’ll go help you order the milk tea. You go sit for a while.”
Huo Shengbai was about to go stand in line.
Wen Zhili quickly grabbed his arm and said with a smile, “No need to line up. You can order by scanning the code, then wait for your number.”
Sure enough, this man had never had milk tea before.
Huo Shengbai wore an innocent expression. “Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Wen Zhili generously offered, “My treat today. What flavor would you like?”
She pointed to the menu board above the milk tea shop, signaling for Huo Shengbai to choose for himself.
But Huo Shengbai merely glanced at it before saying gently, “I’ll have whatever you’re having.”
Wen Zhili: “Alright then, I’ll have a mango milkshake! You should try it too—their mango milkshake is especially delicious!”
Behind them, the assistant Lu Ting opened his mouth as if to say something, but after receiving a cold glance from Huo Shengbai, he wisely closed it.
Lu Ting sighed inwardly.
Love truly drives people mad, making even a CEO allergic to mango endure drinking a mango milkshake!
Huo Shengbai nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
After the two mango milkshakes were ready, Wen Zhili and Huo Shengbai chose a table and sat down to enjoy their drinks.
Wen Zhili bit her straw, looking utterly content, her eyes shining with anticipation. “Isn’t it delicious?”
Huo Shengbai also took a sip of the mango milkshake, the corners of his mouth lifting as if he had tasted the most delicious drink in the world. “Mhm, it really is delicious. As expected, everything Lili chooses is delicious.”
Wen Zhili also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed her first time bringing the domineering CEO to drink milk tea hadn’t ended in disaster.
After nearly finishing her cup, Wen Zhili patted her stomach—she really couldn’t drink any more.
There was still a little milk tea left in her cup.
Huo Shengbai had finished his, his cup completely empty.
Wen Zhili said apologetically, “Brother Shengbai, wait a moment. I’ll go to the restroom, and then we can leave.”
Huo Shengbai: “Alright.”
Only when Wen Zhili’s figure had completely disappeared from sight did Huo Shengbai withdraw his gaze, letting it fall on the cup of milk tea in front of her seat.
The clear straw was still inserted into the drink, its very top bearing the imprint of her red lips.
His throat moved.
In the end, he couldn’t resist. His slender, pale hand reached over and took the cup.
His lips met the red lipstick mark as he bit the straw, drinking every last drop of the remaining milk tea.
Wen Zhili walked out of the restroom and looked toward Huo Shengbai…
