"No, why? Was Young Master Tang going to introduce someone to me?" Ling Han said with a beaming smile.
She deliberately leaned against Tang Yu, sending him flirtatious glances.
You want me to leave?
No way.
She wanted to see just how much this guy knew about their organization.
[Damn, this isn't how it's supposed to go! If your target is Qin Ming, shouldn't you be sneaking a few glances at him right now?]
[Could she know Qin Ming likes playing the cuckold and be putting on this act for him on purpose?]
[Fine, let her play along. Life is a stage, and it all comes down to acting. I can use her to deal with that idiot Su Muyue in a bit.]
Tang Yu rapidly schemed to himself.
He gave a cheeky grin and put an arm around Ling Han.
"So, Miss Ling, what are your hobbies? I'll see if I know anyone who shares your interests."
"My hobbies? I like dancing and music. What about you, Young Master Tang?"
"Then we're pretty similar. I like listening to music and watching movies that aren't suitable for children." Tang Yu said solemnly.
"Pfft..."
Qin Ming, who had been drinking, sprayed all the liquor in his mouth everywhere.
Big bro, is your flirting technique on the same level as a caveman's?
Ling Han feigned shyness. "Young Master Tang, you're so naughty."
"I'm joking. Don't take it seriously." Tang Yu burst out laughing.
"I knew Young Master Tang couldn't really be that kind of person."
"Exactly. How could someone like me possibly enjoy listening to music?"
Ling Han and Qin Ming were both cringing.
"Young Master Tang, you're so funny."
Ling Han had no choice but to compliment Tang Yu, then nestled against him and acted coy.
[Ha, don't try that on me. I've had my fill of sweet talk and hidden daggers.]
[Women only get in the way of my enjoyment of life! Especially Ye Chen's women!]
[But Ye Chen's a real bastard. He doesn't spare a single woman in his own organization.]
[He deliberately gives them dangerous missions they can't complete, then rushes in to play the hero and save the beauty. Tsk, he gets to have all the fun.]
Tang Yu sighed inwardly.
Ling Han, however, was shocked.
How did this guy even know about that?
In the past two years, she had botched two missions, and the Dragon King had come to her rescue both times.
He had even been badly injured saving her! She'd been deeply moved.
But after hearing Tang Yu say that...
She suddenly realized something seemed off.
The missions she had failed had indeed been more difficult than she'd been told! That was why she'd failed!
"What else do you know?"
Ling Han was burning with curiosity.
But she couldn't ask him outright. All she could do was keep acting while listening in silence.
Fortunately, Su Muyue finally arrived.
She stormed into the Galaxy Club with her bag in hand and headed straight for the first raised platform.
Along the way, everyone who saw Su Muyue was stunned by her beauty. Quite a few people came over to hit on her.
Several men even followed close behind, looking ready to hound her relentlessly.
But when they saw her step onto the first raised platform,
they didn't dare cause trouble.
"Tang Yu!"
When Su Muyue arrived and saw a woman just as beautiful as herself cuddled up in Tang Yu's arms, her eyes blazed with fury.
"What? You came to talk about breaking off the engagement?"
Tang Yu smiled. At last, that awful woman had come.
[See that? I've got a stunning beauty in my arms. You can't put up with this, can you?]
[Don't hesitate. Blow your top already! I'll even let you splash your drink in my face today!]
[Come on, don't spare me just because I'm a delicate flower. Show some dignity as the female lead!]
After hearing his thoughts, Su Muyue instantly understood what he was up to.
Sure enough.
He'd deliberately posted that short video to provoke her, hoping to force her to give up on the marriage alliance.
Well, she wouldn't give him what he wanted!
Her expression softened, and she sat down beside Tang Yu.
"What do you mean, breaking off the engagement? We've come this far together, and you're still thinking about that?"
"I saw you drinking alone, and it made me want a drink, too."
Qin Ming was dumbfounded.
Damn, now he finally understood why big bro had said Su Muyue was acting strange.
The aloof Su Muyue!
She could actually tolerate her fiancé holding a beautiful woman and still speak to him so calmly?
Tang Yu was completely stunned when Su Muyue sat beside him and poured herself a drink.
[You're really not playing by the rules, are you? Lady, your head's already green. How can you still put up with this?]
[Come on, follow your heart. Remember who you are! You're Su Muyue, Su the Iceberg, understand?]
[How about this? Special offer, just for today.]
[You can slap me and call me shameless, and then we can call off the engagement. How's that sound?]
[Don't hesitate. This is such a perfect opportunity. You have to prove yourself.]
[If you don't do this, how is Ling Han supposed to report to the Dragon King that there's nothing going on between us?]
"Then go drink somewhere else. You'll disturb me and Miss Ling if you stay here."
Tang Yu wrapped both arms around Ling Han and gave Su Muyue a lecherous, provocative look.
[See that? That's what a shameless beast looks like.]
[If you can't stand it, hurry up and leave. Stop making me act even more shamelessly. My moral standards are flexible; I'll do anything.]
Ling Han shuddered, nearly smacking Tang Yu dead with a backhand.
This bastard had quite the scheme: taking advantage of her while using her, too?
She gritted her teeth. That brat was dead.
Su Muyue was both annoyed and amused.
This guy thought his terrible acting would fool her?
You want me to leave? No way!
"You two go ahead and drink. I won't interfere. When you're tired of having fun, we can go home together, okay?"
Su Muyue reached out and gently held Tang Yu's arm.
"???"
Tang Yu seriously suspected Su Muyue wasn't herself.
Had Wu Dalang possessed her?
[Can a carbon-based life-form actually say that? What happened to your identity and your principles?]
[Calm down. Those lines are mine, the lovesick puppy's. Don't get our roles mixed up.]
[Come on, drink this and shake off your hunger. Be yourself again!]
"Don't look at me like that. I've figured things out."
"For the past three years, I put you through too much hardship because I was testing you."
"But from now on, I'm going to make you the happiest man in the world. You can do whatever you want, and I won't blame you."
Su Muyue spoke with a gentle expression.
Tang Yu took a deep breath. His legs felt a little weak.
This woman was going to be the death of him.
[So you really want to play it this way? Fine. If it's a contest to see who has no shame, then...]
[I'll shit my pants... No, forget it. I'd never be able to show my face again.]
[Sigh. If it comes to it, I'll just take Ling Han away first. If she keeps listening, there'll be no way to keep this going.]
After he made up his mind, Tang Yu gave a cold laugh.
"Suit yourself. Then take your time drinking. Miss Ling and I are going to the restroom. Don't come bother us."
With that, he put an arm around Ling Han and stood up, leaving the first raised platform.
Qin Ming was left gaping.
Damn, big bro, why were you all so wild today?
Hell, even the king of the nightclubs himself wasn't half as uninhibited as you!
Su Muyue really didn't follow them. She slowly sipped her champagne, feeling both happy and conflicted.
She was happy that Tang Yu hadn't been fooling around and was only putting on an act.
But his attitude of rejecting her
left Su Muyue feeling conflicted.
Had he really been pretending to love her all those three years?
