An Encounter with Ning Rongrong

I strolled around Suotuo City with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Lu Yuan, you just said you were going to kill Dai Mubai, is that true?" Holding Lu Yuan's hand, Zhu Zhuqing asked with some doubt.

"What do you think?" Lu Yuan asked Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"I don't know, but your gaze just now was really frightening. That murderous intent was too blatant. I thought you really wanted to kill him!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"If I had really tried to kill him just now, would you have stopped me?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a serious expression in his eyes.

"No!" Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "No matter what you do, I will stay by your side and support you, even if you have to go against the whole world!"

Zhu Zhuqing gazed at Lu Yuan. It was Lu Yuan who had given her hope and unprecedented care and love. Now that she had chosen Lu Yuan, she was willing to face whatever came her way with him, for better or for worse.

"Good Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan was deeply moved and pulled Zhu Zhuqing his arms, kissing her forehead in front of everyone. "Zhu Qing, I will never let you down in this life!"

"Mmm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and snuggled into Lu Yuan's arms.

After strolling around Suotuo City with Zhu Zhuqing for quite some time, Lu Yuan was getting a little tired. It was noon, so he found a restaurant that looked rather upscale and went straight inside.

"What would you like to eat?" Lu Yuan asked Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Hmm, fish, I guess!" Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before saying.

"I knew it, you little glutton!" Lu Yuan gently tapped Zhu Zhuqing's delicate nose. He wasn't surprised at all by this answer, since Zhu Zhuqing's favorite food was fish, and she could eat it endlessly.

"Let's see what delicious fish they have here!" He led Zhu Zhuqing directly to a seat, and a waiter immediately came over. It has to be said that the service at this restaurant was quite good.

"Zhu Qing, you order!" Lu Yuan took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Hmm!" Zhu Zhuqing was about to take the menu when her gaze was suddenly drawn to something. Looking in the lower right corner, she said, "Lu Yuan, look!"

Lu Yuan didn't turn around, and said, "I saw it when I came in!"

"Wasn't she running? How could she finish twenty laps so quickly?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with some doubt.

"That's obvious, she must have slacked off halfway through. She's the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that's normal!" Lu Yuan said.

"You seem to know her quite well?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"No, I've only seen you a few times."

"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat skeptical.

"What, you still doubt that I'm lying?" Lu Yuan smiled and pinched Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly as Lu Yuan pinched her pretty face; there were even waiters nearby.

"This, this, and this, and finally a grilled fish, that's all!" Lu Yuan casually ordered a few dishes, handed the menu to the waiter, and sent him away.

He also knew that with people watching, Zhu Zhuqing's shy nature would make her a little reserved.

Watching the waiter walk away, Zhu Zhuqing said, "It's not that I suspect you're lying, it's just that I feel Ning Rongrong likes you a bit. When you brought me in yesterday, she was full of hostility towards me."

"You may not have noticed, but I sensed it perfectly!"

"So, do you have any explanation for this?" Zhu Zhuqing rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lu Yuan with a hint of questioning in her eyes.

"Explain? Explain what? Even if she likes me, what does it have to do with me?" Lu Yuan said softly, "I have no interest in her whatsoever. She's nowhere near as good as you!"

As he spoke Lu Yuan's gaze slowly moved down, sweeping over Zhu Zhuqing's front. Her firm and full figure made Lu Yuan reluctant to look away.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face instantly turned red, and she grabbed Lu Yuan's soft flesh at the waist. "You pervert!"

"Look at you, as expected of my Zhu Qing, it's really big!" Lu Yuan chuckled.

"You still dare to talk!" Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned as red as an apple. She pinched Lu Yuan's soft flesh and twisted it hard, making Lu Yuan grimace.

"Oh, right!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed as if she had suddenly remembered something. "You didn't activate your Double Pupils just now, did you?"

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, and her eyes turned fierce as she looked at Lu Yuan.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would use my Double Pupils to spy?" Lu Yuan casually flicked Zhu Zhuqing's finger, and the latter immediately let out a soft cry, looking at Lu Yuan with some grievance.

Lu Yuan lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear, and said, "Even if I want to look, I'll look openly and honestly. I'll sleep at your place tonight. I want to see just how much you've grown."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled. Her eyes looked at Lu Yuan with a mixture of shyness and expectation, as if Lu Yuan had indeed not held her in his arms to sleep for a long time.

Back when she was at the Ruins of Life, especially during the time she was injured, she almost always fell asleep in Lu Yuan's arms every night, and that feeling was exceptionally reassuring.

It was something that made Zhu Zhuqing miss unconsciously, so when she heard Lu Yuan's words, she didn't refute them.

"Hehe!" Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Lu Yuan chuckled. Little kitten, you think I can't handle you?

"Sir, your food is here!" The waiter began serving the dishes as the two were joking around.

Coincidentally, Ning Rongrong, who had been sitting with her back to them, suddenly turned around and saw Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Lu Yuan, you're eating here too!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw Lu Yuan, while Zhu Zhuqing was automatically ignored.

"Yeah, I came out shopping with Zhu Qing and grabbed something to eat!" Looking at the delighted Ning Rongrong, Lu Yuan's eyes remained calm. He knew Ning Rongrong liked him.

But he already carries too many emotional debts: Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing in front of him, not to mention Gu Yuena. He has to admit that he has fallen for Gu Yuena a little.

So now he really doesn't want to get involved with any other girls anymore.

"Oh!" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Rongrong gave a soft "oh" with a calm expression, revealing neither joy nor anger. In front of Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong seemed to be better at hiding her emotions.

"Weren't you supposed to run twenty laps? Did you finish? Or did you slack off halfway through?" Lu Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong and decisively changed the subject.

Sure enough, Ning Rongrong's face stiffened upon hearing Lu Yuan's words. "Running is too tiring. I'm really starving and can't stand it anymore, but I'll go for a run after I finish eating."

Ning Rongrong quickly explained, seemingly afraid that Lu Yuan would misunderstand that she liked to slack off.

Yesterday, the number of book coins donated exceeded 10,000, so I'll add two more chapters. Today, it'll be seven chapters in total: three at midnight and four at 6 PM.

I'll send thank-you messages to each of the readers who gave me tips, so I won't mention it here!

Finally, thank you all for your support. I will continue to work hard. Go for it!
