With a stomach full of anger, the man felt deflated like a balloon the moment he saw So Mohan. He wanted to bite off his tongue and swallow back the words he just said.

“Su… young master Su…”

Mr. Zhou from the pawnshop felt his legs go limp the moment he saw Su Mohan. With difficulty, he stood up from the chair but due to fear, he fell to his knees, “Young master Su…”

Su Mohan didn’t speak a word. Mr. Zhou had no idea what he did to offend him but under Su Mohan’s terrorizing and stressful aura, sweat the size of pearls began to splatter down onto the floor from his forehead.

Su Mohan stood at a higher level and peered down onto those two, looking like a God who makes all the calls.

Ye Fei felt like his gaze was cold, and when it landed on her, she felt a bone-deep chill. It made her, who was confident that she did nothing wrong feel small. She couldn’t help but curl her neck, looking like an ostrich. She cursed silently: What the f!ck. Do I have to be so chicken!

Time passed minute by minute. The entire room was eerily quiet as Ye Fei retreated her neck and played with her own fingers. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

After 10 minutes, Ye Fei wondered and thought about how she should explain this to Su Mohan. But after much pondering, she couldn’t think of a logical reason to explain this away.

She raised her head a little to check out the look on the man’s face but by then, Su Mohan was nowhere to be seen. The man who was gloomy in the face had left god knows when.

Ye Fei’s heart felt relieved but also strangely disappointed. It seemed like two months of effort didn’t allow her to establish herself in his heart. Not even a little.

Ye Fei exhaled deeply, feeling a little like a failure. She began to worry if her previous effort has turned into running water that had flown away. Was she going to be put on the death row by that man? No, she had to find Su Mohan and explain all this. Whether or not he minded, she had to find him and explain herself.

Mr. Zhou by her side continued to wipe off the sweat from his face. His eyes looked soulless as he worked himself into a standing position. Without uttering another word with Ye Fei, he left in a hurry. No, he had to find someone and ask around to figure out just what he did to offend the young master Su! If he doesn’t resolve this, he will no longer be able to work in this city!

“Aye~ Mr. Zhou!” Ye Fei called out in haste when she realized the man was walking away.

“Ms. Xu, let’s discuss this another time. I need to go today.”

Ye Fei was worried about Su Mohan anyway so she didn’t stop him. She found a server and asked, “Which room does Su Mohan stay at?”

“Sorry, miss, our company policy doesn’t allow us to reveal where the CEO is.”

Ye Fei rolled her eyes. So Wan Xian Hotel operates under the Su empire as well. No wonder Su Mohan was here.

“I have an emergency to discuss with him.” Ye Fei tried again.

The server checked out Ye Fei from head to toe and said, “Every woman here has something urgent to talk to young master Su about. We obviously cannot tell everyone where he is when they ask.”

Ye Fei was about to get angry when the manager who was by Su Mohan’s side walked over. After looking at Ye Fei from head to toe, he said, “He’s in room 1888.”

Ye Fei thanked him and dashed for the elevator. she vaguely heard the conversation between the server and the manager, “Manager Qian, how can you just tell that woman where young master Su lives…”

“Shut up and focus on your job.”
