Xu Xuejiao's figure proportions could be said to be perfect.
At just over 1.6 meters tall, she didn't seem tall compared to Lu Chengwen, but she appeared delicate and petite, mini and lovely.
Especially when wearing a light pink blouse, or a pink checkered JK pleated skirt, with a big bow at the chest. Paired with a pair of pure white ankle socks and dark brown casual student leather shoes, her thighs were surprisingly fair, as if untouched by dust...
How should I put it...
The words "pure and innocent" are completely insufficient.
In addition to purity, there is also allure.
That kind of girlish feeling, that mixed visual impact of innocence and sexiness, anyone who sees it would have their heartbeat quickened, longing to hold her warmly in their arms.
Lu Chengwen exhaled deeply, although feeling immense pressure inside, he still smiled, sincerely admiring, "Xuejiao, you look really beautiful."
Lu Chengwen's words were very sincere, yet very calm.
Giving off a feeling as if, although tired, upon seeing you dressed like this, I still feel amazed.
Xu Xuejiao originally thought Lu Chengwen would be like a big pervert, exaggeratedly praising how beautiful and charming she was; or would maliciously make advances, or make some flirtatious jokes that skirted the edges...
But she didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be like this.
Although his tone was plain, he appeared very sincere and trustworthy.
If Lu Chengwen teased her, she had a hundred ways to banter with him.
But with Lu Chengwen suddenly like this, Xu Xuejiao didn't know what to do.
She unexpectedly started to feel nervous.
Standing there, everything felt unnatural, her heartbeat pounding, she shyly said, "Why are you suddenly so serious? It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable."
Lu Chengwen smiled, "Don't dress like this often, it's too impactful, be careful, the boys in Snow City will lose sleep over you."
Xu Xuejiao happily threw herself over, hugging Lu Chengwen, "What about you? Would you lose sleep over me?"
Lu Chengwen patted her head, "I have too many things to lose sleep over. Xuejiao, if you ever meet Iron Lump King again, remember, just tell him you're Long Autian's friend, he absolutely won't dare to do anything to you, remember?"
"Who's Long Autian to me? Isn't it enough that I know you?"
Lu Chengwen shook his head regretfully, "I was bluffing today, he mistook me for Long Autian, and that's why he treated me with both respect and fear. If he knew I'm just a rich second-generation, he might just beat me up."
"Hahaha, you're just bragging, there's no such thing."
"I'm serious, you must remember what I said, remember."
Xu Xuejiao realized that Lu Chengwen was very serious today. She looked up at Lu Chengwen's face and asked, "So... were you really scared in the car earlier?"
Lu Chengwen nodded, "Long Autian is a person with a complicated background, not easy to deal with. In fact... he likes you very much, if you're willing to be with him, he will protect..."
"You're talking nonsense!?" Xu Xuejiao immediately became unhappy, "I'm in your arms now, what are you saying?"
Only then did Lu Chengwen realize that he had naturally hugged Xu Xuejiao.
Lu Chengwen slowly pushed Xu Xuejiao away, "Xuejiao, we can only be friends."
Xu Xuejiao frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like," Lu Chengwen said, "I have many things to do, I can't explain to you, but I have to do them on my own. You, Qingqiu, Mengyun... you all need to stay away from me, I have dangerous things to do, a slight mistake could be fatal."
"I'm not afraid! What's so great about Long Autian? He's just a disgusting person! I don't want to be with someone like him!"
"Xuejiao, there are many things you don't understand..."
"I can learn if you teach me! Is it about business?"
"No, it's not that simple," Lu Chengwen said, "Long Autian is considered an upright figure, he..."
"He's upright!?" Xu Xuejiao said, "I was treating Grandpa Chen, and he actually wanted to harm him behind his back. Thankfully, you intervened in time!"
Lu Chengwen was surprised, "You... saw that?"
"Yes!" Xu Xuejiao said, "A person who claims to be a doctor, while another doctor is treating a patient, disregards the patient's safety to show off their skills, engaging in such despicable behavior, do you call that upright?"
Lu Chengwen sighed, "This guy has done something really inhuman."
"And you, you didn't even flinch when billions were lost due to the destruction of a batch of substandard medicinal materials, you are the upright one."
Lu Chengwen lamented, "I'm far from upright, the problem with that batch of medicine was caused by our people."
"But that's not your responsibility, you're someone who takes responsibility."
Xu Xuejiao said, "I realize I've misunderstood you before. You're very loyal to your friends, like when we were in school, you allegedly got into fights several times for Chen Moqun; you're also very good to your girlfriends, Sister Mengyun often talks about your kindness to her, saying you used to care for her like a little sister; and also, you're very filial to your parents, Sister Mengyun says Uncle Lu often scolds you, but you never get angry, and you always try to make him and Aunt Lu happy... In short, I think you're a good person. You just always pretend to be a villain."
Lu Chengwen was speechless.
But Xu Xuejiao's words woke him up.
Yeah, I can run away, but what about Mom and Dad? They have no idea that I'm in danger.
If I leave and leave Big Saint Group to Dad to manage, it will clash directly with Long Autian.
Dad doesn't even know what type of hero the other side is, or what skills he has, he's going to be killed by him if I leave.
I can't leave.
I have to stay, only I know the details of Long Autian, only I can barely figure out a way to protect Big Saint Group and protect Mom and Dad.
Lu Chengwen felt trapped.
Can't leave, staying means waiting for death.
Iron Lump King has shown up early, is there any way to survive this?
I was planning to steadily accumulate equipment in the novice village to deal with the later team battles.
But now, the jungle is here.
One Long Autian can already easily defeat me, do I need this jungle to come and catch me? Is there really a need for that?!
Lu Chengwen felt like he was in a bind.
No one around him was following the script, and all the storylines were going haywire because of his "awakening of transmigration."
Up until now
, I haven't been injured, but my goal isn't to remain uninjured, it's to survive to the end!
But now, the plot is getting more and more dangerous.
I've hit on the protagonist's sister, that's a death sentence.
I've stopped the protagonist from showing off several times, that's still a death sentence.
And now I'm impersonating the protagonist, and have even recruited one of his lackeys...
Except for not committing crimes, I've pretty much-done everything recklessly that I could.
Lu Chengwen didn't know whether to agree or not.
Meeting any female lead at this time was very dangerous.
Especially Ling Qingqiu!
Ling Qingqiu had openly stated her request to pursue him.
【Haha, thanks a lot!】
Lu Chengwen couldn't understand, what exactly were women
【I pursued you for three years, desperately, and you treated me like crap.】
【Now I want you eight feet away from me, never to come near me again, and yet you're starting to get interested!】
Xue Jiao looked at Lu Chengwen's changing expression, heard his inner voice, and felt both angry and happy.
"Hey, do you really not like Ling Qingqiu anymore?"
"Of course not."
"Hehe, then be my boyfriend, I really want to experience love for once!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Xue Jiao, thinking what's the difference?
How did I start speaking in this tone!?
What's the difference between you and her!?
Lu Chengwen said, "You, uh, go wherever you came from, go to the company more often for no reason, don't keep wandering in front of me for no reason. Annoying."
Xue Jiao immediately kicked Lu Chengwen's calf hard. "Then why did you save me today?"
Lu Chengwen rubbed his calf. "I'm sick! What do you think?"
"No, if you're sick, you should be sick all the way! Come on, I'll go with you to see Ling Qingqiu!"
"What are you going to do there?"
"Let her know that she's out of date, and I'm your new owner!"
"What are you talking about!?"
"Oh, come on!"
"I warn you not to mess around!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a face!"
Qianfeng Group.
Conference room.
Ling Qingqiu sat on the boss's chair, imposing without anger, with an aura.
Leng Tianhao sat in the first seat, also with a serious face.
Lu Chengwen thought, are this father and daughter starting again? Why do you always come to me for your family matters!
"Ling Uncle, Qingqiu, what's up?"
Ling Qingqiu said, "Please sit first."
Xue Jiao smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Ling."
Leng Tianhao quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Xue Jiao is also here, please sit."
Just as Lu Chengwen sat down, Leng Tianhao said, "Chengwen, there's something I need to clarify with you. Your engagement with Qingqiu can't be fulfilled."
"Oh."
Leng Tianhao sighed, "I know you won't agree, but your money hasn't been transferred to my account. Anyway, Leng Tianhao never loses business, so I firmly oppose you being together! I'll explain it to your father later."
"Okay."
Leng Tianhao thought, something's not right, what's the situation with this kid?
He's so calm hearing this news!?
Isn't he supposed to be unable to live without Ling Qingqiu? During these three years, this kid has been flattering me so much that I can barely stand it.
He should absolutely not be able to accept this news, right?
What's going on?
"I'm warning you, I'm not bluffing, I'm serious."
Lu Chengwen nodded. "That's good, then, can you call my dad now and explain the situation, so we don't have to prepare for next month's engagement ceremony."
Leng Tianhao was very surprised.
He thought, kid, are you defying me? Do you really think I dare not?
"Okay, I'll call now."
Ling Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen. "Lu Chengwen, what do you mean?"
Lu Chengwen laughed, "Just that, Uncle Ling and I have a mutual understanding, aren't you annoyed with me too?"
"Did I say that today? I clearly said..."
Ling Qingqiu looked at the heartless Lu Chengwen, feeling both anxious and angry.
"I don't care what you and your uncle say, anyway, after today, let's go our separate ways."
Leng Tianhao couldn't get through the call, and awkwardly said, "I'll talk to your dad later."
"Okay, is there anything else? Then I'll go."
At this time, a person pushed the door and walked in, smiling.
It was Long Aotian.
Long Aotian came in, looked around, and said to Leng Tianhao, "Uncle, I've found a conglomerate willing to provide five billion in cash, with an interest rate of only one percent, willing to lend it to me to invest in Qianfeng Group."
Leng Tianhao laughed heartily, almost pounding the table. "Great! With this, the situation is completely in my hands!"
Leng Tianhao looked disdainfully at Lu Chengwen and said loudly, "See the guest out!"
