When Lu Li came downstairs, he felt like his legs weren't even his own.

It's soft and fluffy, like stepping on cotton.

It's not because I'm tired.

I was just scared.

Just now in the room, that so-called "gritty" topic almost made him die on the spot.

This female demon is too powerful now; she doesn't even use her turn signals when she drives.

He held onto the stair railing, moving slowly, one step at a time.

As soon as I arrived in the lobby on the first floor, I bumped into an old face that was all smiles.

She's the villa's nanny, Wang Ma.

As Wang Ma was sweeping dust with a feather duster, she saw Lu Li come down, and her already small eyes narrowed into slits.

His gaze swept over Lu Li's somewhat unsteady steps.

I glanced again at the room upstairs that had just been closed.

understood.

I understand everything.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu."

Wang Ma smiled kindly, but her tone carried a profound meaning.

"You must have had a tough night, right?"

Lu Li's lips twitched.

Hard?

If we disregard the part that was nerve-wracking, he actually slept quite well last night.

"Wang Ma, it's not what you think..."

He tried to explain.

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

Aunt Wang waved her hand, with an expression that said, "I've been there, so I know."

"Young people are like dry wood and fiery passion, it's normal."

"But we should also be mindful of moderation; a slow and steady approach is best."

"Perfect timing, the kitchen made some ginseng soup this morning, please have a couple more bowls later."

Lu Li opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

It's hard to explain.

This misunderstanding is like a snowball, getting worse the more you try to explain it.

That's good now.

I reckon the entire Su family will know I was sexually harassed by her tomorrow.

[And it's the kind where you're completely drained.]

Lu Li sighed and dragged his heavy steps toward the restaurant.

The restaurant was filled with enticing aromas.

The long, narrow European-style dining table was laden with all sorts of breakfast items.

Chinese-style fried dough sticks, soy milk, and steamed buns.

Western-style toast with bacon and eggs.

It's practically a carb paradise.

Su Feiyan was already seated in the main seat.

That white shirt and pencil skirt combination was incredibly alluring.

"sit."

Su Feiyan didn't even look up, and pointed to the seat on her right.

Lu Li sat down obediently.

I had just picked up my chopsticks to grab a xiaolongbao when my attention was drawn to the sound coming from the wall-mounted TV directly in front of me.

"Breaking news from our station."

"A serious armed brawl occurred on Binhai Avenue in the early hours of last night."

"After receiving a report from a concerned citizen, the police quickly responded and successfully prevented a potential bloodshed."

"The main suspect in the case, Ye, is currently at large."

Lu Li's chopsticks trembled, and the steamed buns almost fell onto the table.

He looked up at the television screen.

The footage is from a police body camera.

Even though it's been blurred out, that iconic camouflage vest and those ripped jeans are still incredibly easy to recognize.

Who else could it be but Ye Fan?

In the video, this once arrogant "Dragon King" is seen running around in the green belt like a monkey.

Several police dogs followed behind, barking loudly.

The funniest thing is...

When scaling a two-meter-high barbed wire fence, the expert's movements were slightly slow.

A flip-flop got stuck in the barbed wire.

pat.

It fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a furious roar came from the screen: "I have divine protection! You can't catch me!"

Then came a barefoot figure, limping, as it disappeared into the grove of trees and vanished into the night.

"puff--"

Lu Li couldn't help it and spat out the mouthful of soy milk he had just drunk.

Luckily, he reacted quickly and turned around, spraying it on the ground.

"Cough cough cough!"

Lu Li choked until his face turned red, wiping his mouth with a tissue while laughing wildly to himself.

【Ha ha ha ha!】

[Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing!]

[The mighty Dragon King, reduced to a homeless vagrant?]

[You even lost your shoes while running?]

Where is the promised awe-inspiring presence that commands respect? Where is the promised deadly smile that hints at life and death?

Now he's a wanted criminal, he can't even stay in a hotel.

[Is he going to rummage through the trash for food next?]

Or perhaps you could go to the park and fight with stray dogs for territory?

[This plot is so absurd it's unrecognizable!]

Lu Li laughed until his stomach hurt.

In the original story, Ye Fan should have already finished showing off and won over the Su family by this point, and was currently drinking red wine with Su Feiyan in his arms.

The result is now.

The red wine is gone.

The shoes are gone too.

Su Feiyan put down the newspaper in her hand, elegantly picked up her coffee and took a sip.

A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lu Li's frustrated expression, as if he wanted to laugh but dared not laugh out loud.

"Wang Ma".

Su Feiyan called out.

"Oh, miss, what can I do for you?"

Wang Ma immediately poked her head out from the kitchen.

"Call the company's public relations department."

Su Feiyan spoke in a flat tone, as if she were saying that the weather was nice today.

"Issue an announcement."

"A citywide bounty is offered for Ye Fan."

"A reward of 100,000 will be given to anyone who can provide clues about his whereabouts."

"A reward of 500,000 will be given to anyone who assists the police in apprehending the suspect."

"Also, edit the video of that shoe-throwing incident, buy a trending topic, and let the whole city know about this 'martial arts master'."

Lu Li dropped the steamed bun in his hand.

He stared blankly at Su Feiyan.

Holy crap!

Rich women are so powerful!

[This is really going to destroy Ye Fan!]

[It was originally just a minor public order case; at most, he'd be detained for a few days.]

This bounty has changed in nature.

[It seems like all the elderly folks in the city will be mobilized; this isn't just about catching fugitives, it's like a walking army of 500,000!]

This is so satisfying!

Lu Li felt a warm glow in his heart.

Regardless of the circumstances, Su Feiyan's actions clearly showed that she was trying to vent his anger.

After all, Ye Fan had threatened to kill him yesterday.

Looks like I made the right choice in latching onto this powerful figure.

She really stepped up at the crucial moment.

From now on, if anyone says that President Su is cold-blooded and ruthless, I'll be the first to argue with them!

Lu Li's eyes were filled with emotion as he looked at Su Feiyan.

It's like looking at a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

As Su Feiyan listened to the endless stream of heartfelt words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

They still have a conscience.

Her efforts in making these arrangements were not in vain.

She picked up her chopsticks.

I picked the biggest one from a plate of golden-brown fried eggs.

This egg was fried perfectly, with crispy edges and a runny yolk in the middle. It looked very appetizing.

Su Feiyan placed the fried egg into Lu Li's bowl.

Her movements were as natural as a young wife serving food to her husband.

"Eat."

Lu Li was flattered and overwhelmed.

"Thank you, Ms. Su, but I'm not hungry..."

"You must eat it."

Su Feiyan interrupted him.

She looked at Lu Li, her gaze lingering on his waist for two seconds, her tone playful.

"You are what you eat."

"Eat more eggs to supplement your protein intake."

Lu Li's hand, which had just picked up the fried egg, froze in mid-air.

Thank you so much!

[And who started the idea that fried eggs can nourish the kidneys? Is there any scientific basis for it?]

Although I was internally ranting and raving.

But the body is very much in line with the mind.

With tears in her eyes, Lu Li stuffed the fried egg into her mouth in one bite.

Really fragrant.
