The lackey standing behind the young master of the Lu Family saw that Lin ngyao wasn’t responding, and as the young master’s expression grew more inscrutable, he quickly spoke up, "Our young master is talking to you! Are you deaf or blind that you still don’t answer? Believe it or not, I’ll hit you!" The lackey extended his hand, making a gesture as if to hit, but before it landed on Lin ngyao’s face, the young master’s slap landed on his face first.
"I’m talking to the beautiful Miss, what are you interrupting for!" The young master of the Lu Family looked at his lackey with displeasure.
Just a second after hitting soone, the next second, the young master smiled at Lin ngyao, "You still haven’t answered my question. Whose pet are you? I’ve heard soone likes you and is keeping you. Who is that person? Forget it, no point in asking, let just be straightforward. I’ve taken a fancy to you. From today on, you’ll be with . I’ll give you a secondary card for you to spend as you like, and a villa in Myeong-dong. As long as you promise to co whenever I call and don’t ss around, I can even raise your price for you online."
The young master of the Lu Family took a step forward, reaching out to touch Lin ngyao’s face, but as Lin ngyao stepped back, his hand only grazed her hair.
The cold strands brushed across his palm, yet he didn’t mind Lin ngyao’s dodging. Instead, he inhaled his fingers with satisfaction.
Lin ngyao frowned with disgust, her face displaying anger after being humiliated, the corners of her eyes flushed with indignation, which ironically made her more alluring, intensifying the greed in the young master’s eyes.
"Shaless! Vulgar! I feel sick even saying one more word to you." Lin ngyao said each word distinctly.
"Don’t act like you don’t appreciate the offer. I’m giving you one more chance; do you agree or not?" The young master squinted his eyes, looking at Lin ngyao with a destructive gaze.
"You’re just a pet, and because I like you, I’m giving you a choice. Otherwise, what could a pet like you do if I take you by force in Shangjing? Don’t play hard to get, or you’ll risk losing everything and end up as nothing but my slave." The young master said with a hoarse voice.
"Such big words, making my woman a slave, are you even worthy?" Xu Ke, who had just reached the restaurant entrance, heard the young master’s words, and anger flared up inside him instantly, sothing inside him screaming to tear apart this man eyeing Lin ngyao and feed him to the fish.
"Who are you to ruin our boss’s mood? Do you believe I can send you to the hospital with one punch?" The lackey, eager to find an opportunity to impress the young master, saw the chance the mont Xu Ke appeared, just like finding a pillow the mont he wanted to nap.
"Xu Ke, what are you doing here?" Hearing the familiar voice, Lin ngyao’s eyes lit up instantly. She dodged around the young master’s group and ran toward Xu Ke. It wasn’t until she was enveloped in Xu Ke’s arms that Lin ngyao felt her trembling body finally calm down.
"Didn’t you say you were working late tonight and wouldn’t co here for dinner? Why did you suddenly show up?" Lin ngyao looked behind Xu Ke, finding no one else, and asked in surprise.
"I was worried soone might bully you if I wasn’t here, so I decided to co over. I didn’t expect you were really being bullied. How could you be so foolish? What would you do if I hadn’t co tonight?" Xu Ke tapped Lin ngyao’s nose playfully.
The young master of the Lu Family’s face turned dark imdiately as he watched the woman he fancied run into another man’s arms. He pushed aside those blocking his way and walked straight to Xu Ke, scanning him from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Who do you think you are, daring to steal my woman? You should go out and ask around, can I, Lu Ang, really be provoked? You’re tired of living, aren’t you?" After saying this high and mighty, Lu Ang shifted his gaze to Lin ngyao. "Such a pretty boy, can he satisfy you?" Lu Ang arched an eyebrow, a lewd smile playing on his lips.
"You!" Lin ngyao’s face flushed red instantly, her voice trembling as she spoke, "I’ve never seen soone so shaless and brazen as you."
"I can be even more shaless. Want to see?" Lu Ang smirked, eyeing her with an adult’s insinuation.
"Lu Ang, Lu Zhengxing’s grandson." Xu Ke pulled the trembling Lin ngyao into his arms, covering her ears with his broad hand.
Looking at Lu Ang, Xu Ke’s gaze turned cold, with a contemptuous look even more superior than Lu Ang’s earlier deanor, "I heard when I ca back that the Lu Family has a grandson studying abroad in Arica called Lu Ang, who supposedly has a good reputation and intentions of being grood to take over the family business so Mr. Lu can enjoy so peace. But it seems those are just rumors. If the Lu Family lands in your hands, bankruptcy isn’t far off."
Xu Ke let out a light snort, a sound that almost set Lu Ang afla with anger.
"Say that again if you dare." Lu Ang glared at Xu Ke, repeating his words with malice.
Lin ngyao nervously gripped Xu Ke’s clothes.
"You’d better watch your mouth, or I won’t hesitate to discipline you on behalf of your grandfather." Xu Ke threatened.
"Discipline ? Who do you think you are? Which stone did you crawl out from to stand here and lecture ? Tell which family you’re from, and I’ll make sure you end up bankrupt and holess, unable to survive in Shangjing; believe it or not!" Lu Ang stepped forward, locking eyes with Xu Ke, speaking with icy cruelty.
"Even if your grandfather stood here, he wouldn’t dare say that. What should I call you? Stupid beyond asure or just a fearless, naive cub?" Xu Ke’s lips curled slightly, looking at Lu Ang as if he were nothing but an ant on the roadside.
"Not convinced? Want to take revenge on ?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, continuing, "Then co on; I am Xu Ke from the Xu Family." Xu Ke gave one last glance at Lu Ang before leaving the restaurant with Lin ngyao.
"Yaoyao, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I won’t let you go out alone again." Xu Ke embraced her with guilt, "I can’t imagine what could have happened if I hadn’t arrived in ti. Don’t worry; I’ll ensure justice for you." Xu Ke said with determination.
"I’m fine. Besides, it was just an accident; you don’t need to bla yourself. Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. I’m a bit hungry; let’s go eat, okay?" Lin ngyao, having cald down, was now smiling and clinging to Xu Ke’s arm playfully.
"Okay."
Xu Ke nodded and took Lin ngyao to leave the restaurant.
After they left, Lu Ang, who had lost face, kicked and shattered the other decorations in the restaurant, but the manager intervened and relied on a powerful backer to sweep the incident under the rug.
