Chapter 145: Dinosaur Girl

In the most luxurious private suite, the finest in the building, with a perfect view directly overlooking the main hall, Mu Sihan had removed his overcoat and was lounging lazily against a leather sofa. A cigar rested between his long, elegant fingers. Through the slowly rising smoke, he narrowed his deep, black eyes and watched, inscrutably, a graceful figure in the hall below.

Damn that woman. What was she looking at over here? Was she looking at him?

Was she hoping he would sponsor her show?

Did she really think giving him a single piece of candy would be enough to make him her sponsor? She certainly had a fine little scheme worked out!

“Fourth Brother, I really didn’t expect you to come personally to the television station’s investment conference. Don’t tell me you came for Miss Nan?” Lan Yanzhi asked with a lecherous grin.

Mu Sihan shot him a cold look. “Who told you I came for her? She’s nothing more than one of my servants. Is she worth my taking the trouble?”

Lan Yanzhi arched his brows wickedly but did not expose the man whose gaze had remained fixed on Miss Nan ever since they entered the suite. “Yes, yes, of course. You came for Lin Wanyue.”

Mu Sihan’s expression darkened, and he said nothing.

“But Lin Wanyue is rather greedy. She merely handed you some things Sister Xue’er used back when she worked at the television station, and now she’s overreaching by asking you to sponsor her show.”

Still, one was willing to ask and the other willing to give. Who could blame her, when Sister Xue’er held such an important place in Fourth Brother’s heart?

“Actually, Fourth Brother, did you take a liking to Miss Nan because she resembles Sister Xue’er in some way, and you’ve made her into a substitute—”

Mu Sihan cut him off coldly. “Which of your eyes saw any resemblance? If I wanted a substitute, wouldn’t it be better to find someone who looked seventy or eighty percent like her?”

Mu Sihan tipped his head back slightly, the line of his jaw smooth and handsome. Narrowing his dark eyes, he exhaled a plume of smoke. “I promised Father that I would take good care of Xue’er for the rest of my life. But I was the one who lost her.”

He tapped the ash from his cigar, then abruptly changed the subject. “Why hasn’t Bo Yan arrived yet?”

“Exactly. Wasn’t Third Brother supposed to attend the investment conference with his girlfriend?” As though he had found a fresh topic, Lan Yanzhi said with a wicked smile, “To be honest, it’s not as if Third Brother lacks the ability. He could destroy the Yan family on his own, yet he actually agreed to be Yan Hua’s boyfriend.”

At the mention of Yan Hua, a look of dread and unmistakable avoidance crossed Lan Yanzhi’s face.

She had a lovely name—Yan like jade, Hua like beauty. But in reality, she was both ugly and fat. Still, she had been born into the right family. The Yan family was now the most powerful household in the capital. The heiresses of the other wealthy families were all beautiful and slender, while the Yan family’s…

Lan Yanzhi truly could not understand how Third Brother had managed to kiss her.

“Call Bo Yan.”

A minute later, Lan Yanzhi hung up and shrugged. “The dinosaur girl got her period early, and her stomach was hurting terribly. After they got off the plane, Third Brother wouldn’t let her come and took her straight to the hospital. Tsk, could Third Brother have turned the fake romance into something real?”

Mu Sihan kicked him. “Enough. Stop calling her that.”

“Tsk, Fourth Brother, since when did you learn to show consideration for women?” Lan Yanzhi leaned back against the sofa. “Of course I’ll give Third Brother some face in front of Yan Hua. But in private, isn’t she just an ugly, fat dinosaur girl?”

Lan Yanzhi had seen more women than he could count, in every shape and style imaginable. But he had never encountered anyone like Yan Hua.

What kind of era was this, anyway? He truly could not understand how a woman like that could still exist.
