Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 12
Chapter 12
My body trembled slightly, and a wave of numbness spread through me. The person’s calf slowly rubbed against my inner thigh. The movement was subtle, but in this public setting, even such a small movement could be infinitely magnified in my mind.
I gritted my teeth and glared at Shen Shiyi. Both of my hands were on the table. If I were to reach down now, the movement would be too obvious and would arouse suspicion from Fu Wen. In the end, I could only close my legs, trying to clamp down on Shen Shiyi’s leg to prevent her from moving.
Fu Wen was completely unaware of what was happening under the table. He looked at his watch and said, “It’s about time. Let’s go to dinner now.”
“Okay,” Shen Shiyi’s tone was slightly elevated. She glanced at me, signaling for me to let go of her leg.
I gritted my teeth and finally had to let go of her leg in frustration. But as soon as I let go, she used that opportunity to rub against it one last time. I almost couldn’t keep my composure.
Fu Wen looked at Shen Shiyi with a hint of surprise, his expression becoming even more radiant.
Shen Shiyi’s attitude toward him today was very good, and he could clearly feel her happiness. Was she finally seeing his good side?
The three of us walked out of the coffee shop, and Fu Wen drove us to a private restaurant in the suburbs. The entire restaurant had an antique, garden-like style. The walls were covered with green climbing ivy, and inside, there was the sound of flowing water. If I didn’t know this was a private restaurant, I would have thought it was a Suzhou garden.
As soon as we entered, someone came up to lead the way. The person seemed very familiar with Fu Wen. After greeting him, he didn’t need to ask anything and led the way.
Shen Shiyi walked with me, tilting her head slightly to the side. “Why are you so serious?”
I ignored her. She had the nerve to say that!
“You’re…”
Before I could finish my sentence, I took two quick steps to catch up to Fu Wen. My lips were pursed as I smiled a little shyly and said, “Do you come here often, Mr. Fu? You seem very familiar with this place.”
Shen Shiyi looked at the backs of the two of us. The curve of her lips lessened, and the smile in her eyes slowly faded.
She leisurely followed behind us, a smile still on her face, but it lacked sincerity.
“Yes! That’s it, Host! You can only have a story if you take the initiative!” The system was so excited it was almost crying when it saw me taking the initiative.
I secretly thought that it had no ambition, but on the surface, no one could tell what I was thinking.
Fu Wen heard my words and saw me taking the initiative to get closer to him. A smile that said, “It should be this way,” appeared on his lips. With his methods, this woman would eventually come to him willingly, right? Why did she have to pretend to be so unyielding before?
He loved watching women like this have to come and beg him!
However, he was still conscious of Shen Shiyi behind him, so he didn’t show too much of his true feelings. He just said, “My friend owns this place. When you guys come here in the future, just put the bill on my tab.”
“Thank you, Mr. Fu. I’ve never been to a place like this before. It looks so high-class,” I said, lowering my head shyly. I looked like a pure and innocent flower.
But I couldn’t shake the feeling that my back was chilling, as if something was about to expose me.
“You’ll have plenty of opportunities to come to places like this in the future,” Fu Wen said meaningfully.
As long as I followed him, places like this were nothing. Going anywhere would just be a matter of a word.
I nodded randomly, a little distracted. I felt like Shen Shiyi was staring at me, and it was making me nervous.
The three of us entered a private room. Fu Wen sat at the head of the table, picked up the menu, and handed it to Shen Shiyi first. A smile was on his face, and his voice was much gentler.
“Shiyi, take a look at what you want to eat.”
Shen Shiyi didn’t look at it. She raised her hand and pushed the menu back. She said flatly, “I don’t need to look. Since you’re so familiar with this place, you should know what the good dishes are. Just order what you think is good.”
Fu Wen frowned almost imperceptibly. Why did he feel that Shen Shiyi’s attitude had suddenly become much colder?
He glanced at me from the corner of his eye and had a look of sudden realization.
Was Shen Shiyi’s attitude colder because he had been talking to me before? Was she jealous?
After realizing this, Fu Wen intentionally didn’t ask about my preferences and just started ordering.
In his opinion, there was almost no woman who wouldn’t fall for him. Even Shen Shiyi, who had rejected him before, would be no exception!
Seeing how successful he was now, she must be regretting it. Now that she saw him interacting with another woman, she must be feeling threatened!
Fu Wen didn’t think his guess was wrong at all. He was confident that women would fight over him!
I looked at the two of them who had suddenly become cold toward me. I blinked in confusion. What happened? Why did they suddenly change their attitudes? Is this what it’s like to be an upper-class person?
The system, on the other hand, couldn’t feel the situation. After all, these were subtle changes in human emotions, and a cold system like it couldn’t perceive such fine changes.
After Fu Wen finished ordering, he proactively picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shen Shiyi. He said in a soft voice, “Have some tea. We’ll have to wait a while for the food to be served.”
He was being so proactive. He didn’t believe that Shen Shiyi wouldn’t accept it.
Indeed, seeing Shen Shiyi pick up the teacup and take a sip, the smile on his face grew wider. The look in his eyes toward Shen Shiyi was determined!
I naturally saw the possessiveness in his eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Damn it. Someone like this can be the male lead. They’re really not picky!
And this Fu Wen is also interesting. He’s actually thinking about having both of us!
I stared at the teacup in Shen Shiyi’s hand, wishing I could burn a hole through it with my gaze! So she couldn’t take a sip!
She would drink anything a person poured for her. Is she that defenseless?!
Shen Shiyi deliberately didn’t look at me and leisurely drank the tea from her cup.
Seeing this, I bit my lip slightly and complained to the system in my mind.
“Boohoo, System, what’s going on? Why is Fu Wen treating me like this! How can he not even look at me because of another woman! He’s only pouring tea for his perfect woman and not for me! Is Shen Shiyi that important to him?”
The system checked and saw that just as I said, Fu Wen was only paying attention to Shen Shiyi and was ignoring me!
Hearing my wronged tone, even the system felt sorry for me and thought that Fu Wen was being too much!
“Ding. Host’s revenge points have increased by 0.5%. Total revenge points are 0.75%.”
I was happy. I knew when to stop, but to show the system my effort, I proactively picked up the teapot and poured tea for Fu Wen.
Suddenly, my heart tightened. The feeling of being targeted by a wild animal came back!
