"Ridiculous."
Jiang Xinghai's expression was stern. He scolded her in a serious tone, "Lulu, I have to criticize you. Your auntie is talking in her sleep because she's completely exhausted from working for Jishan Hall. You need to learn to be more concerned about her well-being. Got it?"
"I..."
Feng Lulu's face fell, but then she smiled.
She had said that on purpose to see how Jiang Xinghai would react.
To her surprise, he gave nothing away, showing no sign of unease.
"Alright, you should go inside. I have to make a trip to Harbor KTV," Jiang Xinghai said before turning and driving away.
'He's actually quite imposing when he's serious.'
Feng Lulu pouted and glanced back at Jishan Hall. 'Still, he's given my auntie acupuncture and a massage three tis. With her bombshell figure... even I get jealous when I see it, and I can't help but want to grab a handful. Can that guy really keep his hands to himself?'
She let out a soft breath and walked into Jishan Hall.
"Lulu, you're back. Where's Xinghai?"
Lin Liping was at the counter, engrossed in a traditional Chinese dicine book. When she saw Feng Lulu return alone, she couldn't help but look toward the door.
"Auntie, shouldn't you first ask if I was bullied by that little scoundrel He Zixing tonight? Why are you asking about that guy Jiang Xinghai first?" Feng Lulu grumbled, walking over to the fridge to grab a cold drink.
"I..."
Lin Liping was incredibly embarrassed. She walked over with a smile. "Yes, yes, you're right. My mistake. Quick, tell , that He Zixing didn't do anything to you, did he?"
GULP, GULP, GULP...
But Feng Lulu just lifted the drink and started chugging it down.
"Girls should try to drink fewer cold things. Slow down," Lin Liping said, her brow furrowing slightly.
Feng Lulu finished the entire bottle in one go, then pouted, her face full of resentnt. "That little scoundrel He Zixing... he drugged !"
"What!"
Hearing this, Lin Liping's expression tensed. She grabbed Feng Lulu's shoulders with both hands, looking her up and down anxiously. "Did... did he succeed?"
"Of course not."
Feng Lulu leaned into Lin Liping's embrace. "Thankfully, Jiang Xinghai showed up in ti. Otherwise, I really would have been hurt by that scoundrel..."
"Thank goodness, thank goodness he was there."
Lin Liping gently patted Feng Lulu's shoulder, her expression growing incredibly grave. "That He Zixing cos from the prestigious dical and Martial Family of Central State. To think he's such a bastard! He's completely disgraced the He Family!"
"Auntie, let's not talk about that scumbag."
Nestled in Lin Liping's arms, Feng Lulu suddenly giggled. "Your figure really is getting more and more incredible."
"You..."
Lin Liping scolded her, annoyed. "You brat, go take a shower and get so rest."
"Don't you want to know where Jiang Xinghai went?" Feng Lulu asked with a sly grin.
"Him? I don't want to know. We're just friends with him, why should we care so much?"
Lin Liping let Feng Lulu's fidgeting hands do as they pleased, but the image of Jiang Xinghai's face appeared in her mind, and a certain part of her body started to feel a little restless.
Not long ago, she had subtly invited Jiang Xinghai to stay the night.
But Jiang Xinghai had just given a noncommittal response before leaving.
"By the way, Brother Xinghai turned He Zixing into an idiot," Feng Lulu said quietly.
"What?!"
Lin Liping could no longer stay calm. She grabbed Feng Lulu's shoulders again. "You're saying that to save you, Xinghai turned He Zixing into an idiot?"
"Mhm." Feng Lulu nodded.
"This is bad..." Lin Liping's face paled.
She whipped off her white coat, grabbed her phone, and prepared to call Jiang Xinghai.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Feng Lulu grabbed Lin Liping's arm.
"If He Zixing was turned into an idiot, his grandmother, Granny Nong, will be furious! Not only will Jishan Hall lose any hope of joining the National dical Hall, but Jiang Xinghai's life will be in danger. After all, the He Family is a dical and Martial Family from Central State, and we can't afford to provoke them." Lin Liping's mind raced with the possibilities, and her face beca grim.
"But..." Feng Lulu opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything more.
'She's right!'
'How could I have not thought of that before!'
"Lulu, lock the doors and windows and go to bed! Quick, quick!"
Lin Liping was truly starting to panic. "I have to et with Xinghai and figure out exactly how we're going to apologize to the He Family!"
"Auntie..."
Feng Lulu could only watch as Lin Liping pulled down the rolling tal door, wanting to say sothing but holding her tongue.
'Brother Xinghai is in danger because he was protecting . How can I just do nothing?'
Feng Lulu's face turned ashen. She slowly slumped to the floor, wracking her brain for a solution.
「anwhile.」
Jiang Xinghai answered a call from Lin Liping. "Liping, I'm at Harbor KTV. It's a little noisy here. Speak slowly, don't panic."
Lin Liping was in a taxi and didn't dare say too much in front of the driver. She just said, "Xinghai, wait for at Harbor KTV. I'll be there in ten minutes."
The call ended.
'Sothing's wrong. Liping's tone wasn't just nervous, it was terrified!'
Leaning against the wall in the KTV hallway, Jiang Xinghai's expression turned puzzled.
