Don't Keep Flirting with Me!

Xu Xuejiao's proportions could only be called perfect.

She was just over five feet tall. She did not seem particularly tall beside Lu Chengwen, but she looked petite, delicate, and adorably compact.

Especially dressed in a light pink blouse, a pink plaid JK pleated skirt, and a huge bow at her chest. Paired with pure white ankle socks and dark brown casual student loafers, her thighs were astonishingly fair, as though untouched by dust...

How should one put it...

The words "pure and innocent" were nowhere near enough.

Beyond innocence, she was alluring too.

That girlish charm, that visual impact of purity mixed with sexiness—anyone who saw her would have their heart race and want to pull her into their arms for an intimate kiss.

Lu Chengwen let out a breath. Though the pressure in his heart was immense, he still smiled and sincerely praised her. "Xue Jiao, you look beautiful."

Lu Chengwen said it seriously, yet calmly.

It gave people the feeling that although he was exhausted, seeing her dressed like this still left him stunned.

Xu Xuejiao had originally thought Lu Chengwen would act like some lecherous wolf, exaggerating just how beautiful and captivating she was; or that he would come up with ulterior motives and start pawing at her; or that he would toss out some suggestive, dirty jokes to take advantage of her...

But she had not expected Lu Chengwen to be like this.

Although his tone was mild, he seemed utterly sincere and trustworthy.

If Lu Chengwen had messed around with her, she had a hundred ways to spar and bicker with him.

But with Lu Chengwen suddenly acting this way, Xu Xuejiao did not know what to do.

She actually began to feel nervous.

Standing there, every movement felt awkward. Her heart pounded wildly as she said shyly,

"Y-you... why are you suddenly being so serious? You're making it a little hard for me to get used to."

Lu Chengwen smiled. "Don't dress like this too often. It's far too lethal. Be careful, or all the boys in Xue City will lose sleep over you."

Xu Xuejiao happily pounced on him and hugged Lu Chengwen. "What about you? Will you lose sleep over me?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed her head. "I have too many things keeping me awake already. Xue Jiao, if you see Iron Tuo Wang again, remember this: just tell him you're Long Aotian's friend, and he definitely won't dare do anything to you. Got it?"

"How would I know who Long Aotian is? Isn't knowing you enough?"

Lu Chengwen shook his head regretfully. "I was bluffing today. He mistook me for Long Aotian, which was why he both respected and feared me. If he finds out I'm just some rich second-generation heir, he might beat me to death."

"Hahaha, all you do is brag. How could something like that happen?"

"I'm serious. You must remember what I said. Don't forget it."

Xu Xuejiao realized that Lu Chengwen was being unusually serious today. She tilted her head up and looked at his face. "So... that's why you were so scared afterward in the car?"

Lu Chengwen nodded. "Long Aotian has a very complicated background. He's hard to deal with. Actually... he likes you a lot. If you're willing to be with him, he'll protect—"

"What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Xu Xuejiao was immediately unhappy. "I'm in your arms right now, and what are you saying?"

Only then did Lu Chengwen realize that he had naturally ended up hugging Xu Xuejiao.

Lu Chengwen slowly pushed Xu Xuejiao away. "Xue Jiao, we can only be friends."

Xu Xuejiao frowned tightly. "What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said." Lu Chengwen said, "I have a lot of things to do, and I can't explain them to you. But I have to do them alone. You, Qingqiu, Mengyun... all of you need to stay far away from me. What I'm going to do is dangerous. One wrong move, and I'll be dead."

"I'm not afraid! What's so great about Long Aotian? He's a disgusting guy! I don't want to be with someone like that!"

"Xue Jiao, there are many things you don't understand..."

"If I don't understand, then teach me! Is this about business?"

"No, it's not that simple." Lu Chengwen said, "Long Aotian is actually considered a decent man. He..."

"He's decent!?" Xu Xuejiao said. "When I was treating Grandpa Chen, he actually wanted to pull something underhanded from behind! Luckily, you stopped him in time!"

Lu Chengwen was shocked. "You... saw that?"

"Of course!" Xu Xuejiao said. "A man who calls himself a doctor, yet while another doctor is treating a patient, disregards the patient's safety just to show off his own ability and does something so despicable—you call him decent?"

Lu Chengwen sighed. "That bastard really did do something pretty inhuman there."

"And you, when a batch of substandard medicine was destroyed and you lost several hundred million, you didn't even blink. You're the decent one."

Lu Chengwen groaned bitterly. "Decent, my ass. The problem with that batch of medicine was caused by people from my family."

"That wasn't your responsibility. You're someone brave enough to take responsibility."

Xu Xuejiao said,

"I've realized that I misunderstood you before. You're extremely loyal to your friends. Back when you were in school, I heard you got beaten up several times for Chen Moqun; you're also good to your girlfriends. Sister Mengyun often told me how good you were, saying that you took great care of her back then, loving and protecting her like she was your own little sister; and you're filial to your parents too. Sister Mengyun said Uncle Lu often hit you, but you never got angry and even tried to make him and Aunt Lu happy... Anyway, I think you're actually a good person. You just always deliberately pretend to be a bad guy."

Lu Chengwen did not know whether to laugh or cry.

But one sentence from Xu Xuejiao woke him up.

That was right. He could run, but what about his mother and father? They had no idea they were in danger.

If he just left and threw Great Sage Group back to his father to manage, then his father would definitely end up facing Long Aotian head-on.

His father did not even know what kind of hero the other side was or what skills he had. He would definitely get tower-dived and killed.

I can't leave.

I have to stay. Only I know the details of that animal Long Aotian. Only I can barely find a way to preserve Great Sage Group and protect Dad and Mom.

Lu Chengwen felt like he had been forced into a dead end.

He could not leave. Staying meant waiting to die.

Iron Tuo Wang had actually appeared ahead of schedule. Was life still supposed to go on like this?

He had planned to proceed steadily and save up more equipment in the beginner village to deal with the team fights later on.

But now, great. The jungler had arrived.

Long Aotian alone could already crush him in a solo lane, and now there was a jungler coming to gank him too. Was that really necessary?

Was it really necessary?!

Lu Chengwen felt like his head had grown six times bigger.

The people around him were not following the script at all. Every storyline that should have happened had been thrown into chaos because of his "awakening after transmigration."

Up to now, he had not been hurt, but his goal was not merely to avoid getting hurt. His goal was to survive until the end!

But now, the plot was becoming increasingly dangerous.

He had hooked up with the protagonist's girl. A capital offense.

He had stopped the protagonist from showing off several times. Still a capital offense.

And now, he had impersonated the protagonist and subdued one of his idiot underlings...

Other than not committing evil deeds, he had already done pretty much every suicidal thing he could do.

Just then, Leng Qingqiu called again, saying there was something important she had to discuss with him immediately and that she needed to see him at once.

Lu Chengwen did not even know whether he should agree.

Meeting any female lead right now was dangerous.

Especially Leng Qingqiu!

Leng Qingqiu had publicly declared that she wanted to pursue him.

Hahaha, I fucking thank you for that!

Lu Chengwen could not understand what kind of species women even were.

I chased you for three years, desperately chased you, and you treated me like dog shit.

Now that I want you to stay as far away from me as possible and never see me again, you suddenly start getting interested!

Xu Xuejiao watched Lu Chengwen's changing expression and heard his thoughts. She was both angry and happy.

"Hey, do you really not like Leng Qingqiu anymore?"

"Obviously."

"Hehe, then be my boyfriend. I really, really want to fall in love at least once!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao and thought, What's the difference?

Why the fuck am I talking in that tone too!?

What's the difference between you and her!?

Lu Chengwen said, "You... uh, go back wherever you came from. Go visit the company more when you have nothing to do. Stop wandering around in front of me all the time. You're driving me crazy."

Xu Xuejiao immediately gave Lu Chengwen's calf a hard kick. "Then why did you save me today?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed his calf. "Because I'm sick! Is that okay?"

"No. If you're sick, you have to be sick all the way through! Come on, I'm going with you to see Leng Qingqiu!"

"What are you going for?"

"To let her know she's already yesterday's news. I'm your new master now!"

"What did you say!?"

"Oh, come on, let's go!"

"I'm warning you, don't do anything crazy!"

"Don't worry. I'll definitely make you look good!"

Qianfeng Group.

Conference room.

Leng Qingqiu sat in the boss's chair, imposing without even showing anger, her aura fully unleashed.

Leng Tianhao sat at the head of the table as well, his face stern and serious.

Lu Chengwen thought, Are this father and daughter butting heads again? Why do you always drag me into your family problems!?

"Uncle Leng, Qingqiu, is something the matter?"

Leng Qingqiu said, "Sit down first."

Xu Xuejiao smiled. "Hello, Uncle Leng."

Leng Tianhao hurriedly smiled. "Oh, Xue Jiao is here too! Sit, sit, sit."

Just as Lu Chengwen sat down, Leng Tianhao said, "Cheng Wen, there's something I need to make clear to you. Your engagement to Qingqiu cannot be honored."

"Oh."

Leng Tianhao sighed. "I know you won't agree, but your money never entered my account. In any case, I, Leng Tianhao, never do business at a loss, so I firmly oppose you two being together! Later, I'll explain everything to your father."

"Mm."

Leng Tianhao thought, Something's wrong. What's with this kid?

He was so calm after hearing this!?

Didn't he act like he couldn't live without Leng Qingqiu? Over the past three years, this kid's bootlicking had disgusted me to the point I could barely stand it.

He should be completely unable to accept this news!

What was going on?

"I'm warning you, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm serious."

Lu Chengwen nodded. "That's good, then. In that case, call my dad right now and make it clear, so our family won't have to prepare for next month's engagement ceremony."

Leng Tianhao was utterly shocked.

He thought, Kid, are you challenging me? Do you really think I don't dare?

"Fine. I'll call him right now."

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen. "Lu Chengwen, what do you mean?"

Lu Chengwen laughed. "I mean exactly that. Uncle Leng and I happen to agree for once. Don't you find me annoying too?"

"Is that what I said today? I clearly said..."

Leng Qingqiu looked at the heartless Lu Chengwen, both anxious and furious.

"I don't care what you father and daughter say. After today, we'll go our separate ways."

Leng Tianhao failed to get through on the phone and said awkwardly, "I'll talk to your father later."

"Fine. Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving."

At that moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in with a smile.

It was Long Aotian.

Long Aotian looked around as soon as he entered, then said to Leng Tianhao, "Uncle, I've already found a financial consortium willing to provide five billion in cash at only one percent interest, willing to lend it to me to invest in Qianfeng Group."

Leng Tianhao burst into laughter and nearly slammed the table as he stood. "Good! With this, the situation is completely under my control!"

Leng Tianhao gave Lu Chengwen a contemptuous glance and shouted, "See the guests out!"
