Chapter 314: Why Don’t You Play by the Rules?

"Hey, beautiful! Wait for me!"

Shen Nian had just decided on the dishes she was going to make when she noticed someone shouting beside her. She stopped, glanced around, and then turned to look at Meng Chengyu.

"You were calling me?"

’So she’s not mute! And on top of being gorgeous, she has a beautiful voice, too!’

’But why was she ignoring me earlier? I even made a special effort to dress up before I left home today. I look incredibly handsome!’

’But it doesn’t matter. In any case, she’s stopped and turned to look at me now, hasn’t she? I’m sure I can attract her with my charm.’

"Of course. Is there another beauty here besides you?"

Meng Chengyu said to Shen Nian, giving her a wink when he finished.

These moves of Meng Chengyu’s might have worked on another woman, but unfortunately for him, he was facing Shen Nian.

"Oh."

Shen Nian responded coolly. She paid no mind to Meng Chengyu calling her a "beauty"; it was just that there was no one else around.

As for the moves Meng Chengyu thought were so full of charm, they had no effect on Shen Nian whatsoever.

’Handsome guys? She’d seen plenty. She’d just slept in the arms of one last night! And he was way more handsome than this man in front of her, whose eyes kept twitching.’

’Besides, she could tell just by looking at this man that his gaze was impure. He had a lecherous look about him, and she didn’t like him one bit.’

’The only reason she was even humoring him was because they were inside the corporation’s building. Since he could get in, he had to have some connection to the company. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given him the time of day!’

’An "oh"? That was it? Just a single "oh"?’ Meng Chengyu was stunned once more. ’Where was the giddy excitement he was expecting? The bashful shyness from being charmed by his handsome face? Where did it all go?’

What’s more, after that one "oh," Shen Nian didn’t even look at him again. For the first time, the charm Meng Chengyu was so proud of had taken a massive hit.

However, if Meng Chengyu knew that his foolproof, seductive wink was nothing more than a "twitchy eye" in Shen Nian’s view, the blow to his ego would probably have been even greater.

Anyone else might have given up after being shot down like that.

But Meng Chengyu was different. In his mind, there was no woman he couldn’t win over, and this one would be no exception! At worst, it would just mean he had to put in a little more effort!

’After all, the woman in front of him really was gorgeous. A beauty like her deserved some special treatment.’

If he could successfully win over the beauty before him, Meng Chengyu was more than willing to put in the extra effort!

"I don’t believe I got your name, beautiful?"

Once he’d made up his mind, Meng Chengyu continued his advance. Of course, first he had to figure out who she was. That would make his next move much easier!

However, it was clear that none of Meng Chengyu’s plans were going to work on Shen Nian.

Instead of answering his question, Shen Nian just frowned at Meng Chengyu and asked impatiently,

"Do you need something?"

’If he doesn’t have a reason for stopping me, I don’t want to waste any more time. I need to get home and make a nice meal for Lu Cheng!’

Uh...

Meng Chengyu felt as if he’d taken another critical hit. ’Why doesn’t this woman play by the book?’
