My American magical life
Chapter 146 - 146 55 You Are Forever My Angel and Rose

146: Chapter 55 You Are Forever My Angel and Rose 146: Chapter 55 You Are Forever My Angel and Rose What do you do when you can’t hold the scene together anymore?

What do you do when your attempt to impress fails and someone points a gun at you?

Cheng Daqi could only resign himself to fate, making the call with a do-or-die attitude.

“Temir, it’s up to you to save me now.”

“I’m in a hurry, the kind you can’t even imagine.”

However, the phone kept ringing without connecting.

Thor’s gaze was icy cold, his thinking limited by his narrow perceptions and views.

Cheng Daqi’s move was directed at Gru, not at Thor, not Gru’s underling.

But Thor couldn’t see the true purpose behind Cheng Daqi’s actions.

To him, the loud-mouthed man seemed to be courting death.

Finally, after ten seconds of ringing, the call connected.

The tension in Cheng Daqi’s nerves finally eased, and a composed smile returned to his face.

Connection successful, the most difficult step had been accomplished.

Now, he could seize the opportunity and demonstrate the art of language to Thor!

But he wasn’t the protagonist!

In his previous life, he struggled with his studies, got backstabbed by his landlord after his first business success, and on his second venture, shot up like a rocket only to be struck down by divine intervention.

Cheng Daqi’s life script was never smooth sailing; he had never been dealt a good hand!

This time was no different.

Just when he needed Temir the most, fate played another cruel joke on him.

“Chan, what’s up?

Mi’er isn’t here right now; this is Lisa.”

The blonde put down the half-eaten apple, took Temir’s phone, and answered for her best friend.

Did the call get through?

It did!

But the person who answered the call was the blonde, not the dark-haired wealthy woman!

“Successful connection!”

Temir was a smart woman, and Cheng Daqi was convinced he could use his clever rhetoric to hint to the wealthy woman that something was very wrong.

But Lisa was different; she might not understand his hints.

Mouthing ‘wait a second’ to Thor, Cheng Daqi asked a question.

“Where did Mi’er go?

I need to talk to her right now.”

For now, all he could do was buy time, preferably until the dark-haired wealthy woman returned.

Cheng Daqi didn’t have many options.

“She’s taking a shower.”

The blonde, who had just returned from a run and still holding Temir’s phone, leaned back on the sofa, bored, and started a casual chat with Cheng Daqi.

“Who all did you invite to your moving party tomorrow?”

Thor gently pushed the gun barrel, signaling Cheng Daqi to stop dawdling and get that so-called wealthy girlfriend on the line for a chat.

Fortunately, Thor hadn’t seen any of those comedic skits about using the bathroom or shower as an excuse for not being able to answer the phone, or else he certainly wouldn’t have believed Lisa.

Cheng Daqi was not in the mood to pick fights with minor characters; each of his words was a matter of life and death.

“I invited a lot of people, but Mi’er is the most important.

She’s helped me so much, even bought me an apartment.

I want to give her a big surprise tomorrow,” Cheng Daqi said with a smile to Lisa.

Thor’s mind was muddled.

Hadn’t you just said the apartment was rented?

“Fak, she bought you an apartment?”

The blonde’s voice suddenly spiked, clearly shocked by Cheng Daqi’s astonishing news.

“Of course, but from what you’ve said, it seems you don’t even know about me and her being together, do you?”

Gesturing to Thor to keep calm, Cheng Daqi continued to send special signals with incorrect information.

“As outlandish as it sounds, it’s normal for her because you’re not just any capable man,” Lisa retorted sarcastically, sickened by the fast-paced romance of Cheng Daqi and Mi’er.

We’re in the 21st century where transportation is fast, but your speed in falling in love is even faster than a rocket.

Isn’t that a bit much?

Me being such a decent person, why do I even know you two unbelievable characters, let alone become friends with you!

“So, when Temir comes back, have her call me back.

I need to talk to her now.”

Confident that he had communicated enough in his message, Cheng Daqi hung up the phone.

Thor wanted to speak, but Cheng Daqi extended both arms, signaling the cop who couldn’t read the situation to stay cool.

“Listen, buddy, my girlfriend isn’t the blabber type.

Her uncle is a senator; she knows what to say and what not to say.”

The skill of texting without looking, honed by years of chatting with various people and clients, kicked in swiftly.

While juggling Thor, Cheng Daqi faced the phone screen down and texted Temir the message ‘202’ using the numeric keypad.

[Ding, congratulations Host, you’ve mastered the skill of Blind Texting LV3.]

[Ding, congratulations Host, the skill of Blind Texting has been upgraded to LV4.]

The system’s skill notification came with a taste of dark humor.

If you were a proper system, give me some superhero powers.

Quicksilver would be best, instantly reversing the situation by stuffing the gun into Thor’s mouth.

Wolverine wouldn’t be bad either; he could frenzy on the spot and dismantle Thor piece by piece.

Even the lowest-tier Mantis Woman would do, in this situation hypnosis would be divine.

But what’s the meaning of giving me Blind Texting LV4?

Are you suggesting I switch to tele-frauds and pull fifty deals a day?

“Chan, don’t scare me with the senator’s name, that’s your girlfriend’s uncle, not yours!

Plus, didn’t you just say that the house was rented?

How did it turn into a purchase?”

Thor might have a small view, failing to see Cheng Daqi’s maneuvers, but he wasn’t stupid.

Just now, you kept insisting the house was rented, and now you’re saying it’s bought.

It’s been less than ten minutes, and you’re changing your story.

Do you think I’m an idiot?
