I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 5 Poker face

He held the flowers as the girl dashed away from him and Yu Chen simply watched her go. His expression was blank yet the eyes which were locked on her retreating figure were as intense as a sniper’s eyes, carefully watching his target.

When she finally disappeared from the hall, the man lifted the flower she gave him and stared at it.

He looked intently at it as if he was scrutinizing every single petal. After that, the man’s lips suddenly curved up into a faint smile as he murmured to himself.

"I’ve finally found you," he said as if he was talking to the flowers in his hands. His voice was gorgeously deep but his expression was still as unreadable as ever.

The slight smile on his lips was like a go signal for his body guards so they immediately approached him.

"Boss, shall we chase after her?" they asked and the man nonchalantly looked at the flowers again before he raised his head and spoke.

"Didn’t you see how fast she ran away? Like I’m some kind of murderer after her life?" he asked, causing the guard to crease his brows.

"Err. I saw but boss... You finally found her after all these years of searching, if you let her slip away..." Without waiting for the man to finish his words, Yu Chen started walking away. His guards immediately paved a way for him, not letting anyone get within two meters of him.

He was escorted so heavily that anyone watching could easily mistake him as being the president of the most powerful country in the world being protected by his very own elite presidential guards. Truth be told, it wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that he was like a king from medieval times being guarded by his knights.

...

When he finally entered the car waiting for him outside, Yu Chen loosened his tie as he spoke.

"Jiang Min." he called out a name and a man on the passenger’s seat turned to him with a smile.

"I’m done. Please take a look at it." The man with glasses said as he gave him the tablet where he transferred the files he just obtained to.

Yu Chen then immediately scanned the documents quietly. When he was done, he looked out the dark window as he rested his chin on his knuckles. His eyes which were as deep and as dark as coal black crystals were so focused to the darkness.

The man remained silent for a long time. His men already knew that he was thinking deeply when he was silent so no one dared to make a sound.

After a long moment of silence, Yu Chen finally spoke.

"Gu Jinyang, why do you think she ran away like that?" the man’s deep voice rang. His way of asking was the same as when he asked for a second opinion from his business advisors. His eyes were unreadable as always, not giving anyone a hint of the emotion he was feeling at the moment, or what was he thinking about.

Of course, the other four men inside the car were immediately silenced. My goodness! What kind of question is that? Our dear master Yu, do you really still not know the reason why?!

As always, Gu Jinyang was the one who answered him as if the question was something that he was asked in his daily life.

"Well, you obviously scared her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have run away like she was running for her life." The prim and proper Gu Jinyang, the smartest among Yu Chen’s men, replied when suddenly, another man butted in.

"Boss, honestly, you should have listened to me when I told you to at least fix that poker face of yours. You look exactly like a good looking yet poker-faced devil, you know? Also, don’t you know that even your smile is scary as hell---" Gu Wei gasped before he could finish his statement and he covered his mouth with his palm.

Everyone also went stiff with the careless and suicidal words that the blockhead Gu Wei spouted again. This idiot, doesn’t he learn at all?

Gu Jinyang pinched the skin between his brows as he started thinking about what to do to save his little brother’s ass. Well, they all knew how scary Yu Chen was once he was triggered. He was as calm as a still rock mountain but once he was triggered, his rage could blast even mountains to pieces like a raging tsunami. This Yu Chen was, after all, a peculiar man. He was the opposite of a changeable, moody being. All of the people who’ve been with him for years knew that this man only had two moods, he was either calm or raging.

Just as Gu Jinyang was about to speak, Yu Chen spoke first and surprisingly, it seemed Gu Wei’s remarks didn’t seem to enrage him at all. Sigh... what a relief...

"Gu Wei..." As soon as Yu Chen called out Gu Wei’s name, the man stiffened.

"Yes, boss!" He immediately replied, holding his breath, waiting for what Yu Chen was about to say.

"You think my face is really the problem?" Yu Chen asked and everyone fell silent until Gu Wei spoke again.

"Err... well... there’s no way she doesn’t know who you are. Every girl is desperate to catch your attention so I think the only reason why she ran away was because she chickened out and was intimidated and scared by you. Probably because your face is cold and firm like you’re angry with the world. Of course, I’m not saying that you’re ugly, boss. You’re definitely the most good looking man on earth but yeah, even I feel scared of you so I think the girl’s reaction is natural. So, I truly believe it has something to do with your poker face. You need to soften your look so she won’t feel intimidated. You really do look like a heartless and emotionless being. So you should practice making your face less scary!"

Gu Wei’s long explanation silenced everyone. The others were surprised at the smooth words that came out of his mouth. Did his survival instincts kick in this time and made him talk like this?

No one made a sound as everyone waited for Yu Chen’s reaction.

"Then tell me. How do I fix my poker face?" he asked and everyone fell speechless.
