Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 106 They're not even trying to hide it from people anymore! (3.2K)

“There’s good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Su Xiaoqiang turned around to look at him.

“I’ve read a lot of novels and I know that in this kind of situation, both are actually bad news.”

Lu Mingfei's eye twitched slightly.

He felt a string of unease pounding in his head, as if something bad was about to happen... coming from that extended Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"But let's hear the bad news first, at least that way there'll be some hope."

"The bad news is that it's my dad. He told me the day before yesterday that he was going to pause his vacation and come back, but I forgot."

Su Xiaoqiang gestured with her chin in that direction.

"I already guessed that without you saying it. That car just doesn't suit your style. Even if you were to change it, you wouldn't choose this one."

Lu Mingfei sighed, "So, what's the good news?"

"The good news is... he's coming to thank you in person because you saved me from the truck that day?"

"Your slightly uncertain tone has already revealed the truth, you know."

Lu Mingfei complained, "Even if I hadn't saved you that time, you would have at most bumped into the car door and gotten a scrape, maybe even a bump... This is clearly just a wild boar making up an excuse to come and cut down some cabbages!"

Then both of them fell silent.

The silence didn't last long. Seeing Lu Mingfei's somewhat bewildered and nervous expression, Su Xiaoqiang spoke up again.

"And there's good news."

"What?" Lu Mingfei asked instinctively.

"You forgot? I still owe you two requests, the kind you can't refuse."

The neon lights mixed with the moonlight, making her eyes sparkle.

"How about it, do you want to use it once? I'll hold him off for you, you run quickly."

"Hey, what's with this clichéd plot that's just like a 'farewell to life and death'?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which was still stationary in the distance, with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, and then looked back at Su Xiaoqiang.

"That would make me think your dad is some kind of classic, ruthless villain! Someone who'd prepare a guillotine to kill any wild boar that dares to set its sights on its little cabbage and then send it to the mine to be buried... Surely not?"

"...Hard to say?" Su Xiaoqiang said thoughtfully.

"Don't scare me."

Lu Mingfei clutched his heart, "I'm a timid person..."

“I’m serious, Lu Mingfei.”

At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly interrupted his rambling and addressed him by his name to show respect.

Realizing what was happening, Lu Mingfei shut his mouth and looked at her intently.

Su Xiaoqiang was tall enough that Lu Mingfei didn't need to look up; he only needed to slightly raise his eyes. The two were about a step apart, close enough that Lu Mingfei could see every detail of her beautiful face.

"Actually, you can give up, because I am an only child. My dad is someone who built his business from scratch, and he won't be ambiguous about things that concern the future of the family business."

If you stay, the situation changes. He might test you in various ways, some legal, some shady... and I can't stop him.

"A certain girl, Xiaotian, who knew perfectly well that Lu Mingfei's identity and background were not simple, said slowly."

"So, you can choose to use this opportunity. Really, I won't blame you."

Su Xiaoqiang stared at him and said frankly.

"Moreover, to be honest, unlike Ling and Liu Miaomiao, I like you simply because I'm attracted to good looks."

As you know, I initially had a crush on Senior Brother Chu, and after he graduated, I liked Zhao Menghua. Now I've discovered you're even more handsome, so I like you now too.

She paused at this point.

"So, if you feel..."

"That's normal."

Lu Mingfei interrupted her.

“Wh...what?” Su Xiaoqiang was stunned.

She anticipated all sorts of reactions from Lu Mingfei, but this was the one thing she hadn't expected.

Lu Mingfei glanced at [Emotion Perception].

Anxiety, unease, hope...

This is completely different from the initial statement that "we will use all means," which represented a guilty conscience and a lie.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei realized that even the proud and confident Little Fairy could have moments of unease.

It's still because of... myself.

"Of course I know."

He said.

"But there's nothing strange about it, right? Probably every girl in the city has liked Senior Brother Chu. He's handsome, rich, and excels in both academics and sports... If I were a girl, I'd like him too."

Lu Mingfei instinctively reached out to grab his hair, but grasped only air and then let it go, somewhat disgruntled.

"As for Zhao Menghua, I admit he is also very outstanding. Otherwise, why would he be called 'the person most likely to become the second Chu Zihang'?"
What's wrong with liking outstanding people? Even if it's just because of their looks, that's perfectly normal. I also like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Monica Bellucci; if I were to list them all, it would fill a whole notebook.

What's the difference between this kind of liking and your kind of liking that's all talk and no action?
Come to think of it, I used to like Chen Wenwen so much, but haven't I changed now?

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed and reached out to pat Su Xiaoqiang's head.

"Being able to say it openly shows that you've truly let go. Do you still like Senior Brother Chu or Zhao Menghua?"

"I don't like it anymore."

Su Xiaoqiang answered instinctively, somewhat dazed by the tap. It wasn't that Lu Mingfei had used much force, but rather… her father was in a car some distance away, undoubtedly watching them!

Lu Mingfei, when did this kid become so bold?

"Isn't that okay?"

Lu Mingfei pointed to himself, "Now, you like me."

Su Xiaoqiang was somewhat taken aback by Lu Mingfei's words.

She had already said it openly before, but when Lu Mingfei said it... something seemed different. "And, you're a sucker for good looks."

Lu Mingfei continued.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

"Given your situation, we only need to control what is usually visible, the most attractive, and only one of them."

Lu Mingfei counted on his fingers as he summarized.

Su Xiaoqiang then nodded.

"What a coincidence."

Lu Mingfei lowered his hand, took a step closer, and bowed his head.

That face, blessed by the gods, drew closer, an unreasonable perfection. The night was still, the lights dim, and everything that could distract from my attention seemed to be receding into the distance, leaving only the person before me.

Su Xiaoqiang, who has always been "deceiving people with her appearance", experienced the feeling of being "attacked by her looks" for the first time.

"Su Xiaoqiang, from today until the college entrance examination, we have... 140 days left."

"Ok?"

Su Xiaoqiang was a little dizzy from the "critical hit".

"In such a long time, it seems very difficult for you to find someone more good-looking than me again."

Lu Mingfei laughed. His usual "cheeky" laugh, after his "makeover," now seemed to have a "playful" quality.

"So, what you should be worried about is..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A loud, deliberate clearing of the throat accompanied the footsteps.

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang looked in that direction almost simultaneously.

Approaching us was Uncle Chen, whose expression seemed slightly unnatural and whose steps were noticeably hurried.

Behind him followed closely the “aggressive” Aunt Zhang, and a middle-aged man dressed in sportswear.

The middle-aged man has gained some weight, but you can still tell that he was a handsome man in his youth.

It's perfectly normal for Uncle Chen to look uneasy. He enjoys gossip and is responsible for relaying it to Chu Zihang... but this kind of "deadly" gossip shouldn't be taken lightly!

A few minutes earlier, after noticing through the windshield that the driver of the Rolls-Royce Phantom was Aunt Zhang, and that there was a middle-aged man in the back seat who was resting with his eyes closed, his heart skipped a beat.

Who is this? Need I say more?
Oh no, Lu Shao, run!
He immediately messaged and called Lu Mingfei, but received no response. He then contacted Chu Zihang, only to receive a reply that said, "Don't worry about it, just remember to tell me the details later."

No, young master, that's the vegetable farmer who carefully nurtured the little cabbage! Can this kind of melon even be eaten? If someone sees it with their own eyes... aren't you afraid that Young Master Lu will be beaten to death in the street?

Wait a minute, it seems there's really nothing to worry about. After all, I'm here... According to Uncle Chen's careful observation, the vegetable farmer doesn't seem to have arranged for anyone else.

After figuring this out, he prepared himself to remain a bystander and wait until things got out of hand before offering his help.

However, even the well-informed Uncle Chen did not expect that Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, who had just left the gym, would stand there and start chatting, even though they had already noticed the Rolls-Royce on the side of the road!

It wasn't just chatting; there was also a slightly warm and intimate physical interaction, and they even got closer and closer as they talked—Lu Mingfei took the initiative, and Su Xiaoqiang didn't shy away...

Hey, his elderly father is watching from not far away! Are you really so blatant in your ignorance? These young people these days are far too arrogant!

However, putting everything else aside...

So cool!

He truly is a man who can instinctively juggle three relationships without capsizing; he's destined for greatness!
As the people in the Rolls-Royce finally couldn't hold back any longer and got out of the car, Uncle Chen finally stopped watching the drama unfold and stepped forward to interrupt... He had to give the other person's father some face, and going too far in front of him would really make things difficult to handle.

The boy and girl belatedly separated, and Su Xiaoqiang quickly took a few deep breaths.

However, how could the blush that had already covered her face fade so easily?

"dad……"

Su Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed, "Why didn't you tell me you arrived?"

"I told you, I told you two days in advance. But you just forgot about it!"

Su's father's voice was tinged with a sense of helplessness.

He looked at Lu Mingfei, his probing gaze first settling on his face, and he immediately gasped.

I didn't notice it before because it was far away, but now...

No one knows a daughter better than her father. This kid is beyond what can be described simply as "dangerous"!
"You are... Lu Mingfei?"

Su's father reached out his hand.

"Yes, yes, Uncle, you can just call me Xiao Lu..."

Lu Mingfei reached out and shook hands. The touch was a normal amount of force, without any hint of "giving a hard blow."

"Very good, very good..."

Su's father looked Lu Mingfei up and down.

"That's good...would it sell well if we cut it up?"

Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the wild boar that the vegetable farmer couldn't resist coming to kill the little boar that was rooting up the cabbages... He didn't even think before spouting nonsense.

"Your thing weighs only a few pounds and isn't worth much!"

Su Xiaoqiang understood and angrily shoved Lu Mingfei.

This guy is so irresponsible! What kind of time is this...?

When she realized what had happened, her face turned red again.

Su's father glanced helplessly at Su Xiaoqiang. Of course, he had to demand an explanation for the wild boar's one-sided robbing of the cabbage, but now the cabbage was also trying to entice the wild boar...

They're not even trying to hide it from people anymore!

"Xiao Lu's words are really interesting."

Su's father suddenly spoke.

"Would you like to come over for a visit?"
