Chapter 11
I’m Your Guardian
Ruan Mengmeng finally understood.
No wonder she had mistaken this man before her for Li Junting, the man she had slept with last night.
After all, Li Junyu was Li Junting’s older brother.
They were brothers with similar voices and features. It was normal for her to mistake them for each other.
This man was not Li Junting, so that meant she had not been exposed for sleeping with Li Junting in the hotel last night yet.
That thought made Ruan Mengmeng heave a secret sigh of relief.
Once she let go of her anxiety, she turned back to her usual self, a fearless rich heiress.
Pulling the hem of her gown up, she casually took a seat opposite Li Junyu.
The legendary Tyrant was undoubtedly terrifying.
However, Ruan Mengmeng did not need his pity, and she did not owe him anything either. That was why, although his aura was scarily cold, Ruan Mengmeng was still brash enough to disregard that completely.
The only person she ever feared was her older sister. As for everyone else, hmph hmph…
She sat down on her own and crossed her legs, putting her head on one hand and giving the cold-faced man opposite her a sweet smile.
“Young Master Li, thanks for saving me. Hmm… that good-looking guy with the glasses outside said you wanted to meet me, right? Alright, what is it?”
She even winked at the man sitting opposite her, her cheek in her hand as she spoke.
She could not help it. The legendary heir to the Li Family was simply too good-looking, so much so that gods and humans alike would envy him.
Besides, one of Ruan Mengmeng’s characteristics was that she liked to admire pretty things.
In other words, she was a sucker for good looks. Whenever she played a game, she would always choose the most handsome and beautiful characters.
She liked to admire good-looking guys. If she were not afraid of scaring him off, she would have catcalled Li Junyu by now.
Li Junyu listened to her spiel, his expression cold. The more he heard, the darker his expression grew.
When Ruan Mengmeng was standing at the door, she had been a well-mannered and well-behaved young lady.
Now, she sat with her legs propped up like some lady gangster. He had witnessed the entire transformation himself.
The shadows in his eyes only grew darker.
“Don’t cross your legs like that. Sit properly,” he said in a cold voice, his tone terrifyingly chilly.
Ruan Mengmeng narrowed her pretty almond eyes, her gaze fixed on his long slender legs, crossed on top of each other.
He was sitting with his legs crossed, so what right did he have to tell her not to? Also, this First Young Master Li was being a tad too controlling. He may have saved her, but that did not give him the right to lord over her, right?
“Young Master Li, I know you saved me, but how I sit is my business and none of yours now, is it?” Although Ruan Mengmeng was tempted by his beauty, she was not afraid of him as long as there was nothing for her to feel guilty about.
Her sparkling bright almond eyes stared directly at Li Junyu.
Even when she met that man’s bottomless cold eyes, she was not the least bit scared.
Li Junyu pulled back his gaze slightly…
The moment he met the girl’s sparkling almond eyes, something really important seemed to flit past his mind.
When he tried to think about it, though, the idea slipped right through his fingers.
Li Junyu purposely chose to ignore that uncharacteristically strange feeling.
He must find it odd because rarely anyone ever confronted him directly like this. That must be it.
The man’s pitch-black eyes turned even colder.
The girl was harder to condition than he expected. Li Junyu never liked to waste time, so this made him frown.
“Starting from today, I’ll be your guardian. That means I’m in charge of everything you say and do.”
Li Junyu’s voice was extremely cold, and his gaze on Ruan Mengmeng was also bordering on emotionless.
He looked at Ruan Mengmeng as though she was an official task he had to deal with rigidly.
There was no warmth at all in his eyes.
Her guardian? He controlled her?
Ruan Mengmeng’s tender cherry lips instantly parted until her mouth was the size of an egg!
“You… No way!” Ruan Mengmeng immediately jumped out of the couch.
“There’s no way you’re my guardian. My dad’s my guardian! First Young Master Li, that joke isn’t funny, you know? I don’t even know you, and there’s nothing between us. This is our first time meeting each other!”
Ruan Mengmeng wondered if this world was even real.
Her stepmother could not conceive over all these years, but then she suddenly became pregnant.
Her father always pampered her, but now that he had a son, he suddenly stopped caring for her.
She had always thought her sister was invincible and omnipotent, but then she suddenly passed away.
However, none of that held a candle up to this moment. That was how deeply Li Junyu’s news shocked her.
She was definitely a daughter of the Ruan Family’s bloodline. Her father was Ruan Zhaotian and her mother was Chen Qingzhi, so how could she possibly be related to the Li Family in any way?!
