Zhu Zhuqing's Heartbreak

Feng Hao took Zhu Zhuqing straight into Suotuo City and headed for the Rose Hotel.

The Rose Hotel got its name because its exterior resembled a rose.

In the original story, Xiao Wu and the others had also encountered Dai Mubai here.

The first time they met Dai Mubai, he had brought a pair of twins here to rent a room.

How much hardship had Zhu Zhuqing endured on her journey to find him?

Yet he was living it up here.

In the original story, Ma Hongjun had once said—

Dai Mubai loved bragging to them about how many women he had slept with.

Though Feng Hao did not consider himself a good man, he would not let his woman suffer.

He had brought Zhu Zhuqing here today because Dai Mubai was currently here.

As they entered the hotel, a waiter hurried over and asked, "Sir, would you like to rent a room?"

"Yes. Get us a room," Feng Hao said.

"Certainly!" The waiter was long used to the people who came here.

They were mostly couples, or people who came here for fun.

Let alone two people—even groups of five or six would rent a single room.

Soon, the waiter brought over a list and asked Feng Hao, "Sir, which room would you like?"

"Room 204," Feng Hao said after glancing at it, seemingly making the choice at random.

Of course, it was not a random choice. He had picked 204 because Dai Mubai and that woman were in 203.

Feng Hao had come here precisely so Zhu Zhuqing could see Dai Mubai clearly and form a bad impression of him.

"Very well, sir." The waiter swiftly produced a key and handed it to Feng Hao.

After Feng Hao paid, he carried Zhu Zhuqing upstairs.

As they went up the stairs, Zhu Zhuqing said to Feng Hao, "Brother Feng, let's rent another hotel instead. I'm very grateful that you saved me, but..."

Before she could finish, Feng Hao said, "Zhuqing, are you worried I might do something to you? Did you forget? I'm a teacher, and I have my own place to stay. It wouldn't be convenient to take you there, so I brought you here. I'll get you settled in the hotel, and you can rest well. I need to return to the academy right away."

Feng Hao's words filled Zhu Zhuqing with guilt.

Her nose stung as she looked at Feng Hao and said, "Brother Feng, I'm sorry. I... I thought you were that kind of person."

"It's fine. I understand. You were being hunted, so of course you'd be afraid of escaping a wolf's den only to enter a tiger's lair." Feng Hao reached out and stroked her soft hair, comforting her.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing finally let down her guard around Feng Hao, without the slightest resistance.

"Thank you," she replied softly.

Feng Hao carried her to the door of Room 204 and opened it for her.

After entering, Feng Hao gently placed her on the bed and asked, "Zhuqing, why were you being hunted?"

"Because of some family matters," she said.

"Family matters? You're not from around here?"

"No!"

"Then what did you come here for?"

"To find someone!"

"Who are you looking for?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't. Get some rest. I'm leaving. I'll pay for the hotel for the next few days, and they'll bring you your meals."

With that, Feng Hao got up to leave.

Zhu Zhuqing had traveled thousands of miles to find Dai Mubai. It was impossible to change her all at once.

"Brother Feng, I can pay for that myself," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"This place isn't cheap. You came here alone, and who knows when you'll find the person you're looking for? Save your money." With that, Feng Hao turned and left.

"Brother Feng, which academy are you at?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"No need to ask. If fate allows, we'll meet again." Feng Hao waved without turning around and left with an easy air.

Feng Hao stepped out and closed the door for her.

Then Feng Hao summoned his Invisibility Cloak. Using it, he instantly transformed into the image of a playboy.

He even had the hollow complexion of someone drained by wine and women. He walked to Room 203 and hammered on the door. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dai Mubai's irritated voice immediately came from inside.

He had only just finished his battle and was preparing to rest properly.

Being disturbed at a time like this was infuriating.

"Who is it?"

"Young Master Dai, it's me!" Feng Hao said, changing his voice.

"Who are you? Why don't I know you?" Hearing that it was someone unfamiliar, Dai Mubai had no intention of opening the door.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing in the next room heard the voice and could not help listening closely.

She knew that Dai Mubai was at Shrek Academy, not far from here, so naturally she reacted.

As she listened intently, the voice outside sounded again.

"Young Master, you have too many important matters to remember, so naturally you don't know me. But I know you. You're Young Master Dai Mubai, right?"

"That's me. Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to fart," Dai Mubai snapped.

"The young lady you brought today was quite nice, wasn't she? I know a pair of twin sisters, and they're quite lovely. Their family has run into some trouble and hopes to earn some money to support themselves. If you're willing, the sisters are willing to offer themselves to you in gratitude for your kindness."

"Is that true?" The moment Dai Mubai heard "twin sisters," he was no longer sleepy.

"Of course. If you're willing, I'll come find you here tomorrow. Just have the money ready."

"Fine. You'd better bring them with you tomorrow," Dai Mubai said.

"Very well, then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Go."

Hearing this conversation, Zhu Zhuqing sat on the bed with her body curled up.

Looking at her injuries, tears began to fall helplessly from her eyes.

To find him, she had not feared being hunted.

But what was the result?

She was being hunted while he played with women here.

And he even wanted twin sisters.

Disgusting!

Utterly disgusting!

Once I've recovered, I'll go to Shrek Academy, find him, break off the engagement, and leave this place.

Zhu Zhuqing silently made up her mind.

She did not want to stay at Shrek Academy for long either. As for where she would go in the future—

She did not know. As long as she could first leave that person who disgusted her, that would be enough.

She lay on the bed. Thanks to Feng Hao's treatment, her injuries did not hurt much.

But her heart hurt. She felt that she had been utterly ridiculous.

Why had she come looking for some fiancé?

This was nothing more than a political marriage arranged by their families!

She did not even know what kind of person he was. Was it worth it?

Feng Hao went downstairs, returned to his original appearance, then paid the waiter and instructed him to bring Zhu Zhuqing three meals a day over the next few days.

After handling everything, Feng Hao left and used the Taiji Diagram's third soul skill to return directly to his room.

When he returned, he discovered someone lying on his bed.

That person was Xiao Wu...
