He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Miao Tiaojun's eyes changed from initial astonishment and confusion...

Later, it slowly lit up, shimmering with a strange light.

"Wow...she's so 'girlfriend material'! I love it!"

Miao Tiaojun felt as if something had struck him hard in the heart.

Seeing Ran Ruhua's fierce behavior,

His admiration for Ran Ruhua soared like a flame doused with oil!

He even had a strange impulse,

I wish I were the one lying on the ground getting beaten up right now.

Let Ran Ruhua's fists, full of "love," also "pamper" themselves.

However, Miao Tiaojun was, after all, from a prominent family.

Basic superficial appearances still need to be maintained.

He suppressed his excitement and tried his best to appear as a refined gentleman.

However, when he saw Lu Chen, whose handsome appearance and masculine demeanor could rival his own, a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

He stared intently at Lu Chen with an expression almost like that of someone looking at a love rival.

What if... what if he is also one of Ran Ruhua's suitors?

One Hidden Dragon is troublesome enough, but adding this Lu Chen, whose strength is unknown...

Thinking of this, Miao Tiaojun took a deep breath.

I straightened the collar of my somewhat disheveled, ornate brocade robe.

He forced a professional smile, exuding the aura of a "real boyfriend," and stepped forward, extending his hand to Lu Chen.

"Hello, I am Miao Tiaojun from the Miao family of Die Meng City. May I ask your honorable name, brother?"

He spoke as calmly as possible, but his eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.

He needed to find out where Lu Chen came from first.

Let's see if another competitor has emerged to take Ran Ruhua from him.

If it were just Canglong, he was confident that with the strength of the Miao family and his own "sincere dedication," he would definitely kick him far away and make Ruhua fall in love with him.

But if Lu Chen is also a hidden young master from a powerful family, then the situation becomes complicated.

"Lu Chen".

Lu Chen glanced at him, extended his hand and shook it briefly, his tone indifferent.

Slim and handsome?

A very familiar name.

Could the other party possess the ability to turn back time?

Lu Chen's eyes held a strange glint.

"Lu Chen..."

Miao Tiaojun pondered the name, finding it familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before…

correct!

The "King of the Streets" who suddenly rose to prominence on the leaderboard seems to be named Lu Chen.

Could it be him?

Miao Tiaojun was filled with doubts, and the scrutiny in his eyes intensified.

He subtly observed Lu Chen's surroundings, trying to discern any characteristics of a prominent family.

Looking at the guards around him, they were all women, they didn't seem like complete strangers.

Could it be that he comes from a hidden, powerful family?

"Hello, Brother Lu!"

Miao Tiaojun was polite on the surface, but his vigilance was at its highest.

Because he was frightened by Lu Chen's gaze.

Could it be that the other party has really taken a liking to Ru Hua Mei Mei and is hostile towards him?

No, that's not right. That's the look in your eyes.

Could it be that he has taken a liking to me?

Miao Tiaojun was startled by his own last thought.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Chen became even more strange.

"Brother Lu, may I ask who you are...?"

Miao Tiaojun rolled his eyes and decided to test the waters.

He extended one finger, first vertically,

Then, it bent slightly, carefully and subtly, in a suggestive manner.

He gave a knowing look on his face.

"What are you trying to say?"

Lu Chen was completely baffled by the other person's strange gestures and expressions.

What riddle is this fat guy uttering?

"It's just..." Miao Tiaojun looked around, and seeing that no one was approaching,

He then stealthily leaned close to Lu Chen's ear,

In a very low voice, with a guilty conscience, he asked in a low whisper:

"Hey bro, are you straight or gay...?"

"Damn it! I'm a real man, I only like women!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was first stunned, then a surge of anger rushed to his head, and his face turned black.

What's going on in that fatso's head?

He grabbed the slender, handsome man by the collar and pulled his chubby face closer.

He practically yelled at him, spitting all over the other person's face.

This concerns his reputation and sexual orientation; there can be absolutely no misunderstanding!

"Stop! Let go of the young master!"

Upon seeing this, the four guards behind Miao Tiaojun immediately stepped forward, shouted sternly, and locked their auras onto Lu Chen.

"Step back!"

Shangguan Hong almost simultaneously stepped in front of Lu Chen to block him.

His cold gaze swept over the four guards.

A faint fighting spirit was rising from his body.

Qian Mengmeng and Chu Yu immediately adopted a defensive posture.

"Get out of the way! Brother Lu and I are just making friends, what are you doing causing trouble?!"

Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Miao Tiaojun, whose collar was being grabbed, frowned and reprimanded his guard.

"Yes, young master!"

Although the four guards were puzzled, they immediately lowered their heads and retreated, but still kept a wary eye on Lu Chen.

If the other party continues to act recklessly, we will take action.

"Hehe, sorry Brother Lu, it's a misunderstanding! My men were being abrupt and startled you!"

Miao Tiaojun immediately put on a smile again, as if he wasn't the one whose collar was being tugged.

The speed at which they changed their expressions was astonishing.

It was as if the two of them had been good friends for many years.

Seeing his "smiling, nonchalant" expression, Lu Chen

The anger in my heart subsided considerably, and I loosened my grip.

Although this fat guy has some mental issues, at least he knows what's good for him and isn't as rude as some people.

Miao Tiaojun straightened his crumpled collar.

He then took out a clean handkerchief.

He slowly wiped the drool off his face.

Then he leaned closer to Lu Chen again, lowered his voice, and asked:

"Brother Lu, do you... have a girl you like? Like... Sister Ruhua?"

As he spoke, he also winked at Ran Ruhua, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Lu Chen suddenly realized that the fat man had been beating around the bush for so long because he was worried that he also had feelings for Ran Ruhua!

He immediately waved his hand and said clearly:

"Don't worry, I don't know Ran Ruhua, and I don't like her at all."

I'm too lazy to get involved in the affairs between the three of you, and I won't get involved.

So, don't drag me into this mess.

He had to make his stance clear; he didn't want to get involved in this messy triangular situation.

"Hehe! That's good, that's good!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Tiaojun felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and his smile became even brighter.

As long as Lu Chen doesn't get involved, all that's left is to deal with that fat bastard Canglong!

He could almost see his bright future, where he would win the heart of his beloved.

"Brother Lu, you must come to Butterfly Dream City to play when you have time!"

"I'll treat you, I guarantee you'll experience paradise on earth, with all sorts of fun!"

Miao Tiaojun patted his chest and gave Lu Chen a knowing smile, trying to get closer to him.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Lu Chen shoved him vaguely.

He would prefer to stay in the orphanage if it weren't necessary.

There's a group of little ones waiting for him there.

The "paradise on earth" outside held little appeal for him.
