After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future-Chapter 637: Game Time

"How about we play a game?"

Lu Liang was drinking alcohol and suddenly became interested, just like when he took Pang Di to Mohe and played a wish-fulfilling game with her.

"What game?" Tian Xi asked, like prey gradually stepping into a hunter’s trap.

"You have three chances to ask questions. If you can guess who I am, I’ll give you a chance to be the leading actress."

Lu Liang smiled while flipping through Tian Xi’s Weibo. It was rare for such a petite girl to have such an amazing figure, wealthy yet generous.

"What if I guess wrong?" Tian Xi suddenly calmed down, not letting the grand promise cloud her judgment.

"If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. There’s no punishment."

Lu Liang also wanted her to come over now to test the authenticity of those assets.

But he preferred fishing and enjoyed the tugging fun, only catching the fish when he was bored.

"Is there such a good deal in the world?" Tian Xi was full of suspicion.

"So, are you going to play this game or not?"

Lu Liang didn’t explain because what seemed like an unattainable opportunity to her was just a casual remark for him. .

"I’ll play. I want to see what kind of tricks you can pull off."

Tian Xi looked haughty, deliberately buying time, quickly wrapped in a bath towel, and dashed out of the bathroom to seek external aid.

Liu Hui was a very experienced agent, well-connected in the entertainment world, even capable of associating with Little Wang’s mysterious uncle, who has almost no trace online.

Even if she guessed wrong, her knowledge was so much better. With three questioning opportunities, she should be able to lock in on his real identity.

"One condition: this is a game just between you and me. If a third person knows, the game ends, and so does your career path."

Tian Xi rushed out of the bathroom, seeing Liu Hui posing for selfies, probably not often staying in such a high-end hotel.

Just as she was about to explain the reason, she saw the message from the opponent, and the words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

"Xixi, did President Lin message you?" Liu Hui smiled warmly, hurrying to inquire.

She always thought the person on the plane was Lin You, although his reputation was a bit infamous, with some bad rumors.

But past is past, present is present. People shouldn’t always think about the past, and should look forward. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Climbing the Lin Family is equivalent to climbing the Wang family, which means leveraging Lu Liang; leveraging Lu Liang makes it hard to be poor.

"No... I just came out to get something." Tian Xi instinctively picked up the makeup bag and hurried back to the bathroom.

"Don’t do your makeup in the bathroom, it can melt. There’s a dedicated makeup room here."

Liu Hui kindly reminded, but before she finished speaking, Tian Xi had already closed the bathroom door.

She was disdainful: "A person who probably can’t even afford four dishes forever is this lucky?"

Leaning against the bathroom door, Tian Xi held the phone and angrily questioned: "Didn’t you say no penalty for losing the game?"

"Indeed, there’s no penalty for losing the game, but there is for breaking the rules."

Lu Liang smiled, finished a bottle of beer, and went to the fridge to grab another.

"But you didn’t say it beforehand." Tian Xi stomped in anger, causing the towel wrapped around her chest to fall, accidentally revealing some skin.

"I’m saying it now. All rights to explanations belong to us."

"Dominating, rogue, bastard, hoodlum..."

Seeing Tian Xi stopping her voice message, Lu Liang typed: "First question starts now, you have two minutes to think."

Tian Xi, huffing, pressed down on her chest forcefully, trying to physically calm her inner turmoil, but knew this guy was different and wouldn’t coddle her.

Taking advantage of the two-minute window, she recalled the conversation on the plane and previous chat records.

Suddenly, she realized she indeed asked four questions, getting three right, only the last one wrong.

The initial ’L’ surname, a financier, having a good relationship with Mr. Wang, but not Little Wang’s uncle.

Seeing the ten-second countdown sent by the opponent,

Tian Xi suddenly asked, "How old are you this year?"

"I’ll only answer yes or no. Second question, you have three minutes to think."

"??? Are you messing with me?"

Tian Xi widened her eyes in anger, almost dizzy with frustration, but the opponent only replied: "Continue or give up."

"Who’s afraid of whom, continue."

Squinting, she searched Baidu first for who had a good relationship with Little Wang.

Yet, the first name that appeared was Lu Liang, and Tian Xi froze, muttering, "Lu Liang wouldn’t be so shameless, right? But the conditions seem to fit, L surname, financier, good with Mr. Wang."

She instinctively clicked on Lu Liang’s Wikipedia page, which documented his ethnicity, nationality, place of birth, birth year, and a series of past achievements.

Previously, Tian Xi had heard of Lu Liang’s name, knew he was quite formidable, and had seen his face in the news, but had never understood him in detail.

His profile wasn’t as detailed as a celebrity’s, like not listing height, blood type, or weight, but the long list of honors and achievements was frightening.

Founder of Tianxing Investment, Tianxing Technology, Tianxing Automobile, representative of Su City People’s Congress, Nationwide Outstanding Young Entrepreneur, Global New Energy Vehicle Association Director, Vice Chairman of Su City New Energy Technology Group, Forbes Global Best Investor of 2017, Top 500 Global Brand Figures of 2017...

Most strikingly, in the previous year, with a wealth of 13.342 billion US Dollar, he became 11th on the East Country Rich List.

Seeing the time dwindling, Tian Xi anxiously asked the second question: "Are you between 30-35 years old?"

She was born in 1997, the Year of the Ox, now 21 years old.

If the person was indeed Lu Liang, then he would be exactly a cycle older, 33 years old.

"Yes, third question, you have five minutes to think."

Lu Liang sighed deeply, drinking his cup in one gulp, it seemed the game had lost its suspense.

Receiving an accurate reply, Tian Xi suddenly dared not use voice messages, typing yet deleting, inputting yet erasing.

Because if it was Lu Liang, regardless of her carelessness, she knew fully well he could end her career with one word.

"Forget it, maybe I should give up. [Scared.JPG]"

As the countdown neared its end, Lu Liang received a cute crying emoji, almost spitting out his drink.

"Twenty seconds left, no response also counts as breaking the rules." He squinted, seemingly savoring the villain’s pleasure.

Tian Xi seemed to have fallen silent, sending the final question in the last few seconds: "Are you Lu Liang?"

"Yes."

Seeing this word, Tian Xi panicked, startled enough to throw her phone away, torn between curiosity about Lu Liang’s next words and fear of them.

Holding the bath towel, she paced back and forth in the bathroom, like a husband outside a delivery room, frequently tiptoeing to look towards where the phone fell.

Afraid it received a message, afraid it didn’t.

This repeated for seven or eight minutes.

Until Liu Hui’s knock from outside asked: "Xixi, are you okay?"

"Nothing, I’ll be out soon."

Tian Xi hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone in a panic, suddenly dumbfounded, pressing the power button to no avail, the screen remaining dark.

Feeling wetness around the charging port, she looked down, noticing a puddle of water where she had tossed her phone.

The drainage outlet of the bathroom had been blocked during her hair wash, forming a small channel.

The bathroom door suddenly opened, Tian Xi in a panic hugged Sister Liu, wailing: "Sister Liu, I’m done for, really done for this time."

Sister Liu, seeing Tian Xi’s tightly held phone, felt a moment of delight, automatically fabricating a drama where President Lin sought Tian Xi’s favor, through means named but not limited to threats and allurements.

Feigning concern: "What happened; did President Lin message you?"

"Not President Lin, it’s..."

Tian Xi nodded but bit back her words, her mind suddenly experiencing a big bang akin to the universe’s birth.

Lu Liang, in disguise, even flew economy class to Tokyo, obviously not wanting his whereabouts known.

Revealing Lu Liang’s identity equaled revealing his whereabouts, consequences far more severe than not replying.

"It was President Lin, but just when things were talking nicely, my phone fell into the water accidentally." Tian Xi sobbed uncontrollably.

"How could you be so careless? Do you have a backup phone? If not, use mine." Liu Hui pretended to be more concerned than Tian Xi, swiftly removing her SIM card.

Meanwhile, at Lu Liang’s hotel,

"Why the sudden silence? Scared by the gift?"

Lu Liang felt confused, he had kept his promise, agreeing to offer her a leading role opportunity.

Yet, no reply for a long time after the message was sent.

Lu Liang drank the remainder from his cup: "Hmm~ time to sleep."

When a woman can sway his emotions, Lu Liang would delete her in a heartbeat.

Tian Xi not replying seemed to suggest unappreciation,

He wouldn’t sweat it, opting to sleep as intended.
