* Pretending to be a girlfriend *
006
Lu Jia hated this man who was somehow involved with her.
Lu Jia, who knew nothing at the beginning, was purely kind-hearted, but later on, she took what she needed. Now that she realized that she had caused a big problem, Lu Jia felt a deep sense of fear and regret.
Men... men are all big liars.
However, Lu Jia had fallen for it again.
This time, it was hard to say what kind of danger she would encounter because of this man.
Although she had to admit that other than his unpredictable temper, he was indeed handsome and charming, she was more afraid of falling into the unknown abyss. No one wanted to have any uncertainty in their lives.
Luka must struggle to keep her life calm, but first she must grab her purse and go to the casino in Las Vegas with this damned bastard.
... wait, so why would he go to a casino?
In the dim corridor, Lu Jia jogged behind Phoenix. The man's legs were long, so she couldn't keep up. From time to time, she would brush past the guests passing by.
Therefore, Lu Jia had no choice but to stretch out her hand and pull Phoenix's short sleeve of the flowery shirt. She asked in a low voice," Why are you going to the casino?"
Phoenix didn't stop walking. As she walked forward, she frowned and glanced at Lu Jia. At the same time, she pulled out her sleeves without leaving a trace." Maybe I went to the casino to gamble?"
He answered Luca's question in a knowing tone, as if it were stupid.
Lu Jia took a deep breath and followed him into the airtight elevator. Then, under the gaze of the other passengers, she forced herself to shut her mouth and stood at the farthest distance from Phoenix with a cold face.
The elevator stopped halfway, and the golden elevator door opened. The two blonde girls standing at the door were chatting. When their eyes caught Phoenix in the elevator, they immediately shut their mouths and looked at each other tacitly before walking in cautiously.
The elevator continued to descend, and the claustrophobic space was silent for a moment.
But soon, one of the girls kept turning her head to look at Phoenix behind her. Then she suddenly took out her phone and blinked her beautiful blue eyes confidently at him." Hey handsome, can you tell me your phone number? The room number is fine too."
At first, Lu Jia just stood in the corner and watched coldly. She even felt disgusted with the overly open atmosphere of the Western world. However, when she thought that Phoenix might shift her target to someone else because of this, she couldn't help but smile.
It would be best if he could hook up with another woman. That way, he would be safe!
Just as he was thinking, Phoenix moved.
However, he didn't respond to that pretty girl. Instead, he grabbed Lu Jia with his slender arm and easily pulled her into his embrace.
Lu Jia lost her balance and knocked her head heavily on his chest.
"Sweetheart, are you still angry?"
... huh?
A pitch-black shadow enveloped Lu Jia, and the back of her head and neck were shackled by a powerful palm. Therefore, her face was forced to stick to his firm chest, and the smile instantly disappeared from Lu Jia's face.
What the hell?!
Lu Jia subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she heard a hoarse and gentle voice coming from above her head. Her hot and hard chest trembled slightly due to the voice, and her hand on the back of her neck gradually tightened, hiding a hint of threat." Be good, stop fooling around."
……!!!
"Ding-"
The elevator door opened, and Lu Jia's body was separated from him by a punch. She raised her head with difficulty, but her gaze met Phoenix's indifferent and dangerous gaze. It was as if she was burning, and her back felt like it was being pierced by someone else's gaze.
For a moment, she couldn't understand how things had developed in a way that she couldn't have anticipated.
It was only when the chaotic footsteps gradually faded away and only the two of them were left in the elevator that Phoenix's voice returned to its previous calm." Can we go now? The elevator doors are closing."
Realizing that the other party had already let go and that he was only using her to get rid of trouble, Lu Jia was instantly furious. She turned around and pointed at his handsome face with her index finger. She stared at his face and said aggressively.
"I hate liars and threats the most in my life. I promised you that you could stay here tonight, so tomorrow, I hope you can leave voluntarily."
"Otherwise, if I call the police, who will have worse consequences?"
Phoenix probably didn't expect Lu Jia to say such a thing, so he raised his delicate eyebrows. In the elevator that was slowly closing and only the two of them, he slowly bent down and whispered into her ear with a smile.
" Not bad…but is this a joke?"
Lu Jia didn't realize what he meant by that sentence for a moment.
"What is it?"
Lu, how did you get the chance to call the police?"
The blood in her body instantly froze. Lu Jia looked up at him in disbelief.
He might have restrained himself. It should have been…'How could I give you the chance to call the police?'
However, in the next second, Phoenix reached out and pressed the elevator's open button. Then, she smiled and hugged Lu Jia, who was pale, tightly in her arms. Just like a loving couple, her muscular arms hung heavily on her shoulders. She followed the small number of people who were still there late at night and walked to the casino on the first floor.
"Sweetheart, we're running out of time."
As he spoke, he elegantly pulled out the wallet Lu Jia was holding in her palm. He slowly pulled out a green hundred dollars from a thin wad of money, and then stuffed the thin wallet back, acting as if he had nothing to do with the word robber.
Lu Jia's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. She didn't like to overdraw, so she didn't apply for a credit card. The thousand dollars in her wallet was all the cash she had on her.
Even if it was only $100, it was indispensable for Luka to use it for gas, food, shopping and tips.
But this is nothing compared to life.
"…What exactly do you want?"
Lu Jia had completely lost her temper at this time. She only wanted to spend the remaining ten days safely and then return home.
However, although Phoenix had the FBI ID, Lu Jia could not guarantee that he was a good person because of what he did. He was on the run, so it was not impossible for him to kill him to protect himself.
Lu Jia knew that it was definitely her last resort to fight him head-on. She couldn't help but grab his hand in a panic in the brightly lit casino and bargain softly.
" I'll only stay here for a dozen days. After I return, I won't cause any obstacles to you. I swear I'll do my best to protect you, as long as you let me go…"
Phoenix's gaze swept across the entire scene. At the same time, she naturally held Lu Jia's hand in her palm." Don't panic. I've said it from the beginning. I never wanted to hurt you."
"I only need your cooperation now. I also need…to earn enough cash."
Cash.
It seemed that Phoenix didn't have any cash on him. Not only that, but his bank card and credit card should also be monitored. Once they were used, they could locate him at any time.
Just as she was thinking, Lu Jia suddenly felt Phoenix stop beside her. She subconsciously raised her head and realized that she had been brought to the casino door by him unknowingly.
Two burly security guards at the door reached out to stop them-Lu Jia to be exact.
Lu Jia was so frightened that her body stiffened. She only remembered to reveal an ugly fake smile.
"ID, thank you."
Phoenix, who was dressed casually, turned around and glanced at Lu Jia. Obviously, Asian-Americans were really young in the eyes of Westerners, especially when she stood next to men. Naturally, she could not be let go of for inspection.
Lu Jia felt a little guilty at this moment. She fumbled in her purse for a long time before she found her passport. However, when she handed it over, a small dark red notebook suddenly fell to the ground.
... Oh no!
Phoenix's gaze happened to meet one of the security guards 'eyes. Then, he shook his head helplessly and bent down to help Lu Jia pick up her passport. After he got up, he reached out to rub Lu Jia's black head affectionately and looked down at her with a hint of affection in his eyes." My girlfriend is timid. Please forgive me."
The security guard compared Lu Jia's ID with hers repeatedly before finally handing them over to Phoenix and letting them in.
Lu Jia let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Phoenix beside her.
Phoenix returned to his previous cold expression and looked around. After sensing Lu Jia's gaze, he retracted his gaze and turned to look at her. He took out the hundred dollars he had taken from his pocket.
"Let's go, girlfriend."
"Let's see how lucky we are today."
The author says:
Lujia: Dog man, who is your girlfriend?!
Sorry, it's another short day.
The male lead's more identity was mentioned in Weibo before. From my perspective, he is barely a good person, but I can't say more, otherwise I will spoil QAQ.
Mwah!
