Chapter 8: Has Your Ex-Boyfriend Ever Seen You Like This?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Zhuoli breath was hot, and his voice raspy. "Then you must have had a misunderstanding about yourself."
This kind of wonderful woman, to whom was she not alluring?
Her ex-boyfriend was simply an idiot for leaving such a stunning woman, for the pretentious Lu Qi.
Suddenly, he thought of something. With his eyes darkening, he asked, "Has your ex-boyfriend ever seen you like this?"
What?
Startled by Han Zhouli's sudden question, Lu Man did not get time to think before she spontaneously blurted out the truth. "No."
He Zhengbai had never even seen her body, much less to say taking it further.
Pleased with her answer, Han Zhuoli smiled in satisfaction, moving forward to kiss her on her lips again.
Lu Man's eyes widened in surprise, she wanted to push him away. However, she found that he had somehow managed to hold her hand in place, and she could not even move to push him away.
All she could taste in her mouth was him, and the contrasting heat and cool minty taste made her head burn as if it was on fire.
When he finally let go of her, Lu Man's chest rose unsteadily, her breaths heavy. Being pressed so close to his chest, the feeling of skin touching skin made her feel weird all over.
Her skin was so white that it seemed as if she was entirely covered in layers of powder.
Han Zhuoli's black eyes were clouded, he was not able to restrain himself from looking at her, from head to toe, and did not feel tired of looking at her at all.
However, just now, in front of the police, she had kissed him, but it was only a slight peck with their lips touching just for a second and nothing further.
Yet that soft and luscious feeling was something he could not forget easily.
It was just that she had moved away too fast, and he had no chance to savour it.
Now that he had thoroughly tried it again, he found the taste of her lips was very delicious, much better than he had imagined.
"When you wanted to make use of me, you stripped naked and even embraced willingly, but now that you no longer have a use for me, you're pretending as if nothing has happened just now."
Han Zhuoli sneered. "What do you take me for, to let you go away so easily and also to let you make use of me whenever you want?"
Lu Man silently disagreed, he was the one who stripped her, and if it was that easy to make use of him then she would not be stuck in his arms right now, unable to escape.
However, Lu Man did not dare to provoke him further, especially given the current situation.
She instantly smiled at him, trying to please him as she said, "Young Master Han, why do you want to haggle with a nobody? Who doesn't know you? The CEO of the Han Corporation. The Han Corporation owns more than half of the entertainment circle. If you stomp your feet, many entertainment companies in our country would collapse. How can I be gutsy enough to make use of you?"
Not to mention, the Han Family originated from the Han Country, one of the seven powers during the Warring States Period. In fact, Han Zhuoli was actually a noble, much more aristocratic than those who claimed to be a nobility nowadays. He truly descended from the Zhou dynasty.
His family had a very deep-rooted history. It was said that each family among the eight prominent families had artifacts that had been passed down from the Zhou dynasty, ranging from literature pieces to antiques.
Even if one was to calculate the value of such artifacts, it would by far surpass that of museums!
Even among the artifacts displayed at the museum, many of them were borrowed from eight families.
As for the Han Corporation, it was a big company in the entertainment industry that could not be opposed even if the rest all companies in the entertainment industry were to work together.
Thus the Han Corporation was like an imperial court, and Han Zhuoli was like the Emperor of this imperial court.
Lu Man's expression was one of flattery and worship, and Han Zhuoli laughed in disbelief.
Having witnessed the situation just now, he knew this woman was too sly. This woman was too sly.
Raising an eyebrow he asked, "What had happened next door?"
He knew that there was a director in the room next door, who was one of the top 10 directors in the country right now. His shows sold well and were usually rated quite highly.
Chapter 9: Looking Down Now, Han Zhouli's Hand Had Unexpectedly...

After hearing that Han Zhuoli was next door, the director had especially come over to greet during the daytime.
Lu Man was once again shocked by his question. Why would he suddenly initiate this topic?
"Lu Qi wanted to be the main female lead in the director's new show. Thus she agreed to meet the director in his room, even when she knew what the director actually wanted from her. However, just as things were about to progress further, she wanted me to take her place. I didn't want to, and thus I started protesting. But during our brawl, she used the table lamp to knock me out and even harmed the director in the midst of the fight." Lu Man summarized what had happened.
"So that's how it is." Han Zhuoli nodded his head.
Lu Man was shocked seeing not even a shred of doubt in his eyes upon hearing her explanation.
He indeed believed her.
"You believed what I said?" Lu Man asked, shocked.
"Why would I not believe you?" Han Zhuoli felt hat her question was ridiculous, as it was sensible to believe her.
"Why?" At that moment, Lu Man had forgotten that she was still being embraced by him, and was instead touched by his trust in her.
The two of them were strangers who had only met today, and he knew nothing about the situation, yet he still trusted her so much.
Back then, even her biological father did not trust her.
But this man, Han Zhuoli, who had only met her once believed her without any hesitation!
"There's no need to ask why. I already know that you're speaking the truth," Han Zhuoli said.
There was no way for him to explain her. It was simply just because of his power as the head of his family.
There were eight prominent families, and each family head had their own secret power. The heirs to the family are chosen only when they are able to awaken the ability that their family heads have.
However, in every generation, there would be only one single person who could awake the same ability as that of their family head.
Hence, as long as they could awaken their power, they would be the next family head.
The Han family heads had the ability to tell when a person was lying.
Thus, if a person was talking in front of him, he could instinctively determine if the person was telling the truth or lying. It was not as if he could read their minds, but it was just that he could tell whether the person was lying or not when they spoke.
However, very few people knew of the eight families' family head having such powers. Only those whom the family heads trusted knew about it and they would never spread it around.
Otherwise, their special ability could also become a fatal weakness.
Because if people knew of their ability, it would be easy for them to pressure the family heads into misusing it for their own benefit or they would think of ways to stop or prevent the family heads from using it.
Lu Man's eyes felt a bit wet, as in her two lifetimes, besides for her mother, no one else had trusted her this much.
Ever since her parents had divorced and Xia Qingyang had entered the Lu family, it was as if she had no father.
Lu Qiyuan never believed her words, but he trusted whatever Xia Qingyang or Lu Qi said.
Even though she was the one being bullied and schemed against, Lu Qiyuan never believed her and often scolded and punished her, telling her to learn from Lu Qi and to not bully Xia Qingyang and instead respect her as her step-mother.
How long had it been since she last heard someone say they trusted her?
Yet the person, Han Zhouli, who said that he trusted her was someone she had no relations with at all.
Ha, thinking about it, it was quite ironic.
How even a stranger could believe what she had said, yet her family members never believed her. Even her boyfriend who was also her childhood sweetheart, despite knowing the truth preferred to help the real culprit frame her.
She had been a total loser in her past life.
However, Han Zhuoli's trust in her made her heart swell up and an unknown emotion arose in her heart. The places where his hands touched were ablaze and her heartbeats had gotten so rapid making her feel as if she was on the brink of death.
Just then, her phone ringtone suddenly sounded, jerking her out of her strange thoughts and emotions.
"Are you not going to pick up?" Although Han Zhuoli calmly asked her that, his hands were unruly.
A moment ago, Lu Man had been lost in her thoughts and did not take notice; however now, as she looked down, she noticed that Han Zhuoli's hand had somehow moved onto her chest.
