149: Chapter 56 He Really Is Quite a Man_2 149: Chapter 56 He Really Is Quite a Man_2 “Your lover was just held at gunpoint, and now you’re telling the gunman to leave?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Temir didn’t respond, instead, he quietly observed the cup on the tea tray, where the tea swirled in control under CEO Cheng’s lead.

The vortex was complex, so complex that she didn’t want to get involved.

Thor cocked his head to apologize to Cheng Daqi and his group before he left straight away.

Cheng Daqi focused on the Gongfu tea on the coffee table, as if he hadn’t heard Lisa’s words.

“You two just watched him leave?

Am I crazy or are you crazy?”

The blonde white girl was furious, incapable of understanding.

Seeing her friend swallow the indignity, even a terrifying experience with a gun to his head, and yet not daring to fight for justice.

She was surprised at how Temir and Cheng Daqi seemed unfazed by it all.

“Alright, Mi’er, let these two gentlemen out first.

Lisa, try this, it’s called ‘gongfucha,’ a specialty of our Hua Country’s tea culture.

Give it a try.”

Cheng Daqi didn’t feel angry or outraged.

In the face of a tough situation, you retreat when you must.

The world is always a case of survival of the fittest, and laws more often than not favor the strong.

Why are those rare cases of the weak overcoming the strong celebrated?

Because they are so scarce.

He understood Temir’s choice, as well as Lisa’s concern for her friend.

However, the thought processes of animals driven by interest differ from that of ordinary people.

Honor and disgrace are nothing but bargaining chips, so what is there to fear about being threatened or humiliated?

Dignity compromised?

It never existed!

Or perhaps, Cheng Daqi’s self-esteem was immeasurably high.

So high that even momentary humiliation could be brushed off with a laugh, without a care in the world.

Nothing but a minor inconvenience.

That was all there was to it.

“So, we’re just going to let this go?”

Lisa felt like a comic actor with too few lines in a play.

She was the last to realize what had happened yet expressed the most outrage.

And in the end, it seemed like nobody except her cared about what had really happened!

“What else, Thor is Gru’s man.

Gru sent him to threaten you, right, honey?”

With a gentle lift of Cheng Daqi’s chin using her finger, Temir asked.

“More or less, today’s matter is more complicated than you think.

He wasn’t here to threaten me but to remind me.

Gru sent him to give me a reminder.

Do you understand, my angel?”

Dodging the rich lady’s hand subtly, Cheng Daqi countered.

There was a hint of pity and regret in his tone.

An opportunity was there, but it was mishandled.

You had a subsequent chance to strike back but didn’t seize it.

Poor Temir.

The behavior of this couple disgusted Lisa.

She sat opposite Temir and Cheng Daqi, puffing with anger, and took a big gulp of tea.

“Ah~ It’s hot!”

The blonde white girl almost cried from the scalding heat.

“Thank you for the compliment, Lisa.

‘Gongfucha’ has to be hot, scalding is considered good, so that the drinker can slowly enjoy it.

You drank it too fast.”

Temir was still pondering Cheng Daqi’s words.

Although they hadn’t known each other long, she had no doubts about Cheng Daqi’s abilities, his abilities in all aspects were indeed excellent.

What was he trying to tell her with his question just now?

“Chan, I think my mouth is blistering.”

Lisa sounded a bit aggrieved; she really got scalded by the hot tea.

And now, she still sat opposite Cheng Daqi and Temir.

The black-haired rich lady was gazing lovingly at Cheng Daqi as he made tea with a flow as smooth as clouds and water.

It was strange, Lisa had an odd feeling.

They were all good friends, and she enjoyed spending time alone with either Cheng Daqi or Temir.

But when the three were together, something always felt off.

Perhaps it was because she had never heard a song called “Always Very Quiet.”

The lyrics there perfectly described her situation.

‘It’s a movie about three, yet I constantly lack a name’

“Wait, I’ll go get some ice for you,” said Cheng Daqi.

A mouth burn is the most troublesome, hard to medicate and treat.

The only relief would be a cold compress.

“Mi’er, when did you get together with him?”

After Cheng Daqi had left, Lisa repeated the question.

Due to the burn, her speech was slightly off-key.

“When you notified me.”

Temir, frustrated by Cheng Daqi’s cryptic words, replied irritably.

“Huh?”

“This matter is complex; you saw the first layer, I saw the second, Chan saw the fifth.

I’ve just realized I might have missed a good opportunity Chan gave me!”

Yes, Temir was not a fool.

Thanks to Cheng Daqi’s reminder, she finally realized she might have, perhaps, probably let a chance slip by.

“Huh?”

Lisa had gone into brain freeze, still not recovered from Temir’s mind-blowing answer.

“Alright, drink your tea, how hot can it be?

It doesn’t look hot at all.”

A small cup, shallow tea, a bit of steam, thick cup walls.

It seemed not hot, but there was a catch.

The tea assassin struck again, taking down the black-haired rich lady fiercely.

“Ah~ What is this?”

Covering her mouth, Temir felt like crying from the scalding.

“Haha, Mi’er, seeing you get scalded too makes me feel better.”

“What are you laughing about, having so much fun?”

Cheng Daqi returned with ice chips scraped from the freezer and handed them to the unlucky blonde white girl.

“I, I want some too,” said Temir faintly from behind him.

Hmm?

There were two unfortunate souls?

“Did you get scalded too?”
