Levi leaned back in his chair, still wearing that careless smile: "What do you think?"
Instead of answering, he asked Benjamin, whose face became increasingly sober.
Soon, Levi lifted his arm, and casually rested it on the back of Ruby’s chair.
It was a clear gesture of asserting sovereignty.
Benjamin's brow furrowed.
“Mr. Finn, though you are Ruby, husband, you don’t have to be hostile to me, Ruby and I have been friends for years. Have you ever thought of Ruby’s feeling, or do you want to cut off all relations between her friends and her?"
At that, Levi snorted out a laugh, his expression still as wanton as ever, as if whatever Benjamin said would not affect him.
"I don't mean that, I just think that it's a bit inconvenient for me and Ruby living here, after all ......"
At this point, he raised his eyebrows and uttered: "We have to have sex, and it's always less convenient when we're at an outsider's house."
Ruby choked on these shocking words, her bright eyes widened and she looked at Levi in shock.
How could he say that!
Benjamin's expression froze, his mouth opened, and he was actually speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, it was as if he had found his voice, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone.
At that moment, his thin lips pursed and he glanced towards the screen of his phone, a slight change steeped in his dark pupils.
"Ruby, you eat first, I'm going to take a call."
He quickly got up, ignored Levi, and directly picked up his phone and went to his study.
Levi and Ruby were the only two left in the dining room. Ruby still looked incredulous and could not resist giving him a whack.
"What are you babbling about in front of an outsider!"
She reprimanded angrily in displeasure, but she didn't know whether it was because she was embarrassed or because she was shy, and her tone sounded, inexplicably, pouty.
Levi turned sideways, propping his elbows on the dining table, looking at her good-naturedly, his eyes bright.
"Since it's an outsider, there's no point in caring, you never care about this."
Ruby's cheeks reddened slightly, even her ears were hot, and she glared at him without good grace.
"I don't care, but there's no need to say that deliberately, that ......"
She muttered in a small voice, sounding slightly disgruntled.
"You're a jealous man ......"
Levi raised his eyes in pleasure.
"It's natural that I wouldn't be happy if he had other thoughts about you, much less stay under the same roof with him in peace, I've booked a hotel, we'll leave after dinner."
He had already made the arrangements, so Ruby couldn't say anything else, after all, she didn't want to disturb others.
After that, she said nothing and just drank her congee in peace, with some strange feeling inexplicably festering in her heart.
"...... Yes!" Lewis responded, but considering the situation at hand, he still had to propose, "But in this current situation, the mercenary is probably already exposed, as well as the Lab X, President, should we ...... "
Before he finished his sentence, Benjamin had already understood what he meant.
The current situation was so dangerous that he had to make his decision.
At that moment, he clenched his teeth and said in a stern voice, "Immediately tell everyone in the lab to evacuate, keep the most core information and reagents, the sooner the better!"
"Okay!" Lewis immediately took orders and did as he was told.
After hanging up the phone, his eyes narrowed, clearly thinking about the whole thing.
Who on earth was it!
Was it Levi?
But based on the way he had just acted downstairs, he didn't seem to mean anything other than jealousy.
Besides, although Lab X was in the shadows, they were not the only ones in the shadows, there were still rivals, and it was difficult to tell who exactly it was at a time.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a single clue.
Only when he had gathered his emotions and went back downstairs did he find that Ruby and Levi had already packed up their things and were ready to leave.
He frowned, his voice trying to seem softer as he said, "Ruby, are you sure you want to go? Those people who are after you now are probably still watching you, I'm worried about you."
Ruby had returned to her normal demeanor by this time and gave a faint smile, "It's alright, I know what to do."
