The Master's Mask Unveiled Again Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 500 I Don't Deserve to be Liked Chapter 501: Chapter 500 I Don't Deserve to be Liked At night, Lu Mian lay sprawled at the foot of her bed, letting her head hang down, intentionally allowing that congested feeling to flood her body.

She tossed her cell phone from hand to hand, again and again, each time faster and more irritated.

Until the phone “dinged” with a notification.

She rapidly caught it mid-air and unlocked it.

It was from their small group of five, Yuren wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Lu Mian's expression stiffened for a moment.

.CO

She casually replied, “Happy New Year.”
The other few also lined up to respond in the chat, even Sikong Jian, who rarely engaged, responded to everyone this time.

The small group immediately became lively.

Yuren even sent a generous red envelope, which was snatched up by Sikong Jian, who got the best luck.

Lu Mian smiled faintly, feeling a bit warmer inside.

Their five friends, Yuanyuan and Yuren, were probably celebrating the New Year in Wucheng, while Ya Ling was in a hotel in Jinjing.

As for Sikong Jian, he was likely at home.

Though they couldn't be together, their friendship remained unchanged.

Lu Mian, not one for many words, quietly held her phone, watching them chat.

It was Sikong Jian who, after a while, sent her a private message.

“Mianmian, tomorrow is the first snow, do you want to go see it with me?

a$?”
Sikong Jian had a couple of days off and a bit of freedom.

He had checked the weather forecast, and it was going to snow tomorrow.

It had already started to drizzle with snowflakes that evening, though very light and small.

It was a rare chance for Lu Mian to be in Jinjing, and he really wanted to see the first snow with her.

Lu Mian held her phone above her head and let out a heavy sigh.

“I have something to do, I'm not going.”
Sikong Jian: “What's wrong?

Are you feeling upset?”
The other person seemed to be able to see Lu Mian as he quickly sensed her emotions.

Lu Mian laughed at herself, quickly typing a response.

“I am a demon, unworthy of being liked.

Sikong, stop liking me.”
After she sent that message, Sikong Jian went silent.

Lu Mian's mood didn't improve, and she began to flip through the backlog of messages on her phone irritably.

There were New Year's wishes from friends, as well as old, unread emails in her inbox.

Particularly the unread emails covered various industries.

Lu Mian didn't need to open them to know their content and couldn't be bothered to look at each one.

But her eyes landed on an email from the Sufeng Game Company, reminding her of Qiu Shu mentioning going to find the Number One expert W, wondering about the outcome.

The following morning, Lu Mian rose early.

The air at the Xiao family estate was good, suitable for morning exercise, but Lu Mian uncharacteristically broke her discipline and didn't go for it, instead quietly pulling Mo Si to one side.

She inquired softly, “Where's your Young Master Mo?”
Mo Si looked at her as if seeing a savior, “Miss Lu, please go check on Young Master Mo.

Everyone is on holiday for the New Year's, yet he is so energetic that he has been working non-stop for twenty hours.

Isn't this ruining the holidays!”
Lu Mian frowned, knowing this was all because of her.

Mo Si glanced at his watch, “Miss Lu, Young Master Mo has one more hour of video conference, and after that, he will have a five-minute break.

You might take that chance to have a good talk with him.”
Lu Mian finally nodded.

She was not one to avoid issues; she preferred solving them.

“Before that, Mo Si, do you have time to accompany me to the Painting and Calligraphy Institute?”
“Mo Nie is there right now, and I am free,” Mo Si was naturally willing to do so.

To accompany Miss Lu was an honor for him, definitely better than having to look at Young Master Mo's stoic face!

However, he still asked a question, “Miss Lu, what are you planning to do?”
As Lu Mian was putting on her coat, she replied, “I'm going to the painting institute to pick up some things.

If I go by myself, they'll probably turn me away at the door, but with you, it'll be different.”
Mo Si nodded in understanding.

“What about convincing Elder MoaEUR ”
“I've looked at the navigation.

One hour for a round trip should be enough.

Once I get the things, I'll go explain things to him clearly.”
Hearing Lu Mian's promise, Mo Si nodded like a pecking chicken.

Miss Lu seemed a bit different today, it seemed like Elder Mo's spring was about to begin!

OnlyaEUR
“Miss Lu, are we looking at the same navigation?

Just one way from the Xiao Family estate to the painting institute takes forty minutes!

And that's without any traffic!”
Lu Mian, who had also finished putting on her coat, turned and flashed Mo Si a mysterious smile, “Do you get car sick?”
His question, out of the blue, left Mo Si utterly confused, but he still earnestly replied, “How could I?

We're Shadow Guards, we're super professional!

Impossible to get car sick!”
“That's good then.”
Having said that, Lu Mian left Mo Si with nothing but a dashing, brisk figure to look at.

Mo Si: ?

Today, Lu Mian was driving and Mo Si sat in the passenger seat.

It was the first time he'd been driven by the mistress, and he felt a little thrill in his heart, feeling that he had made much more progress than Brother Nie today.

“Miss Lu, we're short on time, how about I drive instead?

I'm familiar with Jinjing's roads!” he still didn't feel quite assured.

Lu Mian ignored him, and seeing him buckle up and ready to play with his phone, kindly advised him, “Hold onto the grab handle.”
“There's no needaEUR ”
Before Mo Si could finish his sentence, Lu Mian's mouth curved into an ungodly, mischievous smile.

She gave a glance to the rearview mirror, shifted gears, hit the gas, and bolted forward.

“HissaEUR””
Inside the car, Mo Si took a sharp breath of cold air as he belatedly grabbed onto the car handle, letting out a high-pitched scream.

“Lu, LuaEUR ”
“I know, I'm watching the road,” Lu Mian said lightly, and after that she shifted into the highest gear, and the well-performing sports car charged out, leaving only afterimages of the scenery flanking the car.

Today, she was driving the most inexpensive Lamborghini sports car from Xiao Qimo's house.

After getting a handle on it, she felt it was not bad.

Mo Si had no idea that Lu Mian drove so fiercely.

He felt like crying before they even left the Xiao Family domain.

“Miss Lu, slower, sloweraEUR ”
Lu Mian's speed might have been fast, but she herself was calm and composed from beginning to end.

“What's the matter?

Will it be very serious if a Xiao Family car breaks traffic rules?”
In fact, Lu Mian had already figured it out.

If it was very serious, she would just erase the surveillance like she did in Hong City.

Mo Si shook his head vigorously, answering intermittently.

“Not, not very serious.

But IaEUR ” The person concerned now regretted it deeply.

He was clutching the handle for his dear life, his eyes not even having time to watch the roads on both sides, “I, I get car sick!”
Lu Mian glanced at him, knowing that getting car sick was normal.

The speed this time was even faster than it had been in Hong City, because this was a sports car with excellent performance.

Moreover, with Jinjing being less crowded during the New Year period and no traffic jams, she was enjoying the drive quite a bit.

As a result, the forty-minute journey was compressed into twelve minutes.

At the entrance to the institute.

Mo Si was hugging a stone lion statue, retching violently.

It took him several minutes to recover, still feeling light-headed as if his soul hadn't quite caught upaEUR
