Your Ego Is Very Nettling.

Switching the phone to her other ear, Tang Xi already crossed the threshold of the openhall, and took the turn towards the reception area, as she said to Tang Min, "Well, what does that mean? These silk-stocking people are very hubristic, and they don't know how to respect others' time."

"Hehe, I'm sure you will have a change in your perspective later in this matter. Now, pull out a big smile and meet Lu Yunsheng. Be sure to ask him anything you want to know about. I want you to have a good understanding of him before making any decisions." Tang Min bestowed his enlightenment on Tang Xi, before hanging up.

After a few seconds, a waitress guided Tang Xi towards a private room and held open the glass door for her.

"Thank you." Politely thanking the waitress, Tang Xi closed the door behind her, and looked at the man sitting like a king.

The man was dressed in a business suit; upon closer inspection, Tang Xi noticed that his clothes were from the latest season collection of men's clothes by Chanel.

It was no rumor that Lu Yunsheng was a cold man. Let alone pulling out a chair for Tang Xi, he didn't even bother to present her a polite smile.

Nevertheless, Tang Xi was a 'give respect-take respect' type person. Since Lu Yunsheng didn't bother to greet her, she did the same to him.

Tang Xi dragged out a chair producing a screeching sound, sat on it with a thump, then started looking at the room decoration.

The silhouettes of people in groups of two and three stood in the corridor, and sounds of their laughter erupted intermittently.

This area was sequestered for the VIPs and VVIPs who could glance towards the ground floor and outside through the glass door, but they couldn't be seen from outside.

Silence fell in the room. Lu Yunsheng didn't initiate the conversation immediately. Seemingly patient, he continued to stare at Tang Xi's face with a razor sharp gaze, as if trying to see through her soul.

Despite her feral savagery just now, her eyes communicated regality and sovereignty, like she was untouchable and above the mortal realm.

Tang Xi didn't try to impress Lu Yunsheng acting demure; and he didn't think she was playing hard to get, because according to the investigation conducted on Tang Xi by Yello Tiger, she was naturally offish, high and mighty girl, who was known as Cold Shoulder Queen.

Nonetheless, the fact was, Lu Yunsheng was annoyed by Tang Xi to the extent that he wished he would never see her again for the rest of his life. What was more, he didn't even want to initiate a conversation with her.

Anybody else in Tang Xi's place would have a nervous breakdown by now. However, Tang Xi wasn't just anyone; thus, she was completely unaffected by Lu Yunsheng's unwavering gaze on her.

At that moment, a waiter walked in and handed them the menu with two hands. "Good evening, I will be your server for this evening. May I take your food order?"

"Bear Claw, Hericium Erinaceus, Shark's Fin Soup with Papaya, Bird's Nest Soup, Caterpillar, Matsutake Soup with Bamboo Fungus, Liaoning Sea Cucumber, Matsutake, Meat Stew with Ginseng, and Morel Mushrooms." Tang Xi said while opening her menu and skimming through 'Most Expensive.'

Since the high-handed people can make others wait, they can compensate for it as well, right? It was a little price for Tang Xi's thirty minutes.

The waiter handling them nearly choked, as he kept shifting his eyes between Tang Xi and Lu Yunsheng a couple of times. Nevertheless, both of them appeared absolutely normal, and aware of their actions.

The Kyoto Kaden Minokichi Kaiseki-Ryori was a seven star restaurant, thus, a private room here with a single expensive dish was fully capable of burning a hole in the pockets.

Ordering the full set of expensive dishes would surely cost more than two million yuan. Luckily, the waiter was able to fix his composure in time. He nodded, memorizing everything in his head. After a few seconds of ordering Tang Xi's food, she closed the menu.

"Just plain water for me." Lu Yunsheng said, without skipping his menu.

This time, the waiter was slightly surprised at Lu Yunsheng's order. One just ordered the full set of most expensive, and another just plain water? However, he composed himself quickly again, took the order, bowed, and excused himself.

Lu Yunsheng's face was stone cold, and there was a slight tinge of annoyance emanating from his eyes too, as he said, "I don't have any favourable feelings for you. Before you ask, I unwillingly gave my consent for this marriage. Neither this marriage nor you will have any significance in my life."

"Oh yea?" Tang Xi laughed impudently. Like a chime that rang in the middle of the night, her laughs were hauntingly beautiful.

"Feeling mutual. I won't say that I dislike you, as dislike would be a strong word to use on a stranger. I would rather say I can't stand your presence, more specifically your ego; it is very nettling." Tang Xi said in a carefree attitude; gulping a mouthful of water, she began nonchalantly inspecting her nails.

"Then, why are you here?" Lu Yunsheng asked slowly, his tone filled with ridicule and sarcasm.

"My grandfather sent me here. He wanted me to get married to you, but I won't."

Lu Yunsheng narrowed his eyes. The other party also had a grandfather issue, huh?

His patience was already exhausted, and he didn't even bother to ask Tang Xi further regarding this matter, before saying directly, "Sing a contract marriage with me. After some time, I will say to the families that it's not working out anymore between us and liberate you from the contract. During this contract period, you can stay wherever you want, and rest assured I will never lay a finger on you. However, whenever needed, you have to show your face in front of my family. Deal?"
