章節 107: Answer yes or no

James saw Lena coming and he got out to open the car door for her. She quickly got in. Tye put down his phone and turned to face Lena. "How was it?"

Lena sat down comfortably in the back. "Good." She took off her purse and dropped it onto the car floor.

James got into the car and it did not take Tye any longer to start their long drive to the safe house. There were a few times where Tye and James were arguing. James kept telling Tye that he drives like a grandma and that he should drive instead. Tye did not trust James with his car.

Tye's defense was that he was the perfect driver, driving perfectly at the correct speed limit. He had never gotten pulled over so he needed his record to stay clean. James stopped arguing and went back to doing his own things.

Lena was at the back, looking through some files for work. She sent Diane a messaged to update her on the meeting. When they finally got out of the city, the roads were smoother. Everyone was doing their own thing and the car ride was silent. Tye did not know if he should turn on the radio or put some music on.

"So… you know Ming Zhao?" Tye started a conversation instead.

"Mhm." Lena was still focused on the file she was reading.

"What's your relationship?"

"I'm single… and looking." Lena naturally replied.

Tye was not asking about her relationship status… but her relationship with Ming Zhao. This woman was always snarky about her replies.

"You bought him cookies?"

Lena closed the document and glanced up from her tablet. She put it away so she can focus on their conversation. She does not want to be rude. "No. I baked them."

"Oh..." Tye can tell that their relationship was not a simple business partnership. What kind of partner brings personal baked goods to the other? He had never gotten any cooked food from his business partners nor his friends! "What kind of man are you looking for?"

"What kind of man are you looking for?" Lena repeated the question back to him. "If you want to ask questions and get an answer, we need to play fair."

Tye laughed. Of course, this woman was all about equality. She must always gain something if she was going to share something about herself. "Younger men."

Lena gave Tye a death glare. Although Tye could not see it since his eyes were on the road, he could sense it. It felt like he was being haunted. "Don't worry. I don't go for straight men." He clarified.

"I…Hmmm." Lena paused to think. There was a difference between an ideal man and an attainable man. "I want a man who can be happy with me. When he's with me, he can always smile. I need a man who can keep up with me though, I am very wild."

Smiles… Kris does not have that. Tye sulked. Keep up with her… Tye does not know if Kris' wildness is the same as Lena's wildness.

"If Miss. Shen can be anyone in the world, who would you want to be?"

"No one. I am satisfied with myself, all my flaws and goods."

Big Ego. Tye chuckled inside. She is just like Hugh… that's a bad thing though!

"My turn." Lena spoke. "You just have to answer yes or no."

"Ok."

Lena smirked. You should never play a game with her if you are not willing to play until the end. Especially a game with no rules, she's a wild card. "Does the rumored mistress of the Li family exist?"

Tye's heart stopped for a moment and he slowed down the car. 'Damn this witch… she is playing unfair!'

Lena just wanted to see his reaction. She could already get an answer from that. Now, the next part was just seeing what kind of man Tye was. If he answered yes, then he was honest and a strong man who knows how to win a game. If he answered no, then he was a weak and untrustworthy person.

"Yes." Tye answered after a while. Lena smiled at her win. James was just sitting casually, listening to the conversation.

"Since Miss. Shen is playing unfair, I can ask you a personal question too."

"Go ahead. I am a very open person." Lena replied.

"Are you still a virgin?"

Lena smiled dropped. 'What is wrong with people these days and asking about her virginity. These days… young people are getting sexually active so soon! Are they mocking her experience?!'

Last time Madam Li asked her, Lena chuckled softly and replied with a general response. She said, "Well, I have yet to get marry." And luckily, her mother called right after that and Lena spent a good amount of time talking to her mother. By then, Madam Li was already taking out the bread from the oven and their original conversation did not continue.

"Yes. But I have watched porn before." Lena innocently answered. She thought that maybe that last comment will redeem her.

James, who had been silent this whole time, burst out laughing.

"It's not funny. Hazel forced me to watch it, saying that I need practice if I wanted to sleep with Andy. I had nightmares after that. Can't look at a man the same ever again."

James stopped laughing. "Sorry." He took a deep breath. He knew that Lena saw him as a father figure. "Maybe you just watched a bad one."

"Yeah. Women can watch those stuff too! I am a doctor, I would know." Tye added in.

"I am not touching that poisonous thing ever again." Lena proclaimed. "I choose real love over fake love any day! The things you watch don't happen in real life, just like dramas."

Well, except her. Lena remembered that she somehow was magically here, in a different body and a different world.
