Zhu Zhuqing: Dai Mubai, I Have Nothing to Do with You

The next day.

For Ning Rongrong, everything went on as usual.

However, during breakfast, she noticed something strange. Her usually cool and composed senior sister, Zhu Zhuqing, was actually somewhat distracted.

She did not ask in front of their master, but after they finished eating, she could no longer hold back.

"Zhuqing, is something bothering you today? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise. Was it really that obvious?

Naturally, she had been thinking about Dai Mubai and what happened yesterday.

Although she had decided not to have anything to do with Dai Mubai, that did not mean Dai Mubai would leave her alone.

After yesterday's events, she was certain that Dai Mubai had recognized her.

With that man's personality, he would definitely come after her. So she had been thinking about how to cut through the mess and sever every tie between them.

Before she knew it, Zhu Zhuqing had sunk into thought again.

It was Ning Rongrong's first time seeing her like this, so she asked again.

"What is it? Is there really something you can't resolve? Why have you been thinking about it for so long?"

"It is indeed a small matter, but it is nothing important."

"Come on, it is time to go out for a run."

Zhu Zhuqing came back to herself, her gaze firm. She had clearly figured it out as she headed toward the courtyard gate.

She had already thought of what to do.

Whether that man was willing or not, she might as well make everything clear today and cut off all ties between them.

He could walk his broad road, and she would cross her narrow bridge!

Ning Rongrong was certain that Zhu Zhuqing was hiding something from her. She simply refused to say it.

Across from the main gate.

Dai Mubai had gotten up early and sat there blankly, his eyes fixed on what had once been Shrek's gate.

He was not reminiscing about the old academy. He was waiting for someone to appear.

He needed to confirm something, something that had plagued him for an entire day.

If Ma Hongjun and the others had not told him that the people occupying the academy were extremely powerful, he would likely have charged in already.

"Boss Dai, are you still waiting here? Don't you already have a fiancée? Why are you so fixated on that woman?"

Oscar asked in confusion.

Dai Mubai had already been restless and agitated, so he directly revealed the truth.

"That woman is very likely my fiancée."

Oscar suddenly understood. No wonder Dai Mubai was so persistent. So that was why.

Then he suddenly sensed something was off. If they were engaged, why did Dai Mubai not even know what she looked like?

Especially the way that woman had looked at Dai Mubai yesterday, as though she were looking at a stranger with absolutely no connection to her.

Were relationships among nobles really so complicated?

Oscar simply could not understand it.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something and turned his gaze toward the gate across the street.

Just then, the young girl who had caught his attention yesterday ran out through the gate.

Behind her was a Soul Tool Car, with another breathtakingly beautiful young girl seated inside.

Oscar looked toward Dai Mubai.

He found that Dai Mubai had already leaped to his feet, his eyes locked tightly on the Soul Tool Car.

This time, Dai Mubai did not hesitate. He rushed straight in front of the Soul Tool Car.

With a screech of brakes, their eyes met.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with utter indifference.

Dai Mubai's, meanwhile, held confusion and questioning.

Seeing that cold gaze, he could not help but shudder.

Why? Why was she looking at him like that?

No one gave him an answer. In the end, Dai Mubai still walked up to the window and leaned against the car door as he asked.

"Y-you... what is your name?" His voice trembled slightly. Even Dai Mubai himself did not understand why he was acting this way.

"Zhu Zhuqing." Zhu Zhuqing spoke those three words coldly, without the slightest attempt to hide them.

A trace of joy appeared on Dai Mubai's face.

It really was her. It was actually really her.

"What is it, Zhuqing?"

Ning Rongrong turned back and came to the other side of the Soul Tool Car, asking as she looked at Dai Mubai.

Was this man the reason Zhuqing had been so distracted?

"It is nothing, Rongrong. Your run is more important."

After speaking to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing then said to Dai Mubai.

"Though I bear that name, I have nothing to do with you. If you want to know why, wait until I return."

Her voice remained utterly cold, and her eyes did not rest on Dai Mubai in the slightest.

With that, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving Dai Mubai behind without mercy.

Dai Mubai suddenly lost his support and fell directly to the ground.

He did not get up immediately, merely sitting there on the ground.

Why was she so cold toward him?

Clearly, they were engaged.

Clearly, it was their first time meeting.

She had come here alone. Was it not to see him?

Dai Mubai could not understand, because he had never dared to consider the worst possibility.

He did not dare think that they had actually met before, that she had already seen his promiscuous side.

Just then, Tang San also came out and reached Dai Mubai even faster than Oscar had.

"Boss Dai, what happened to you? What exactly is going on with that woman?"

"She really is my fiancée, but why is she treating me like this?"

"Why does she not want to see me? Why is she so cold? I have clearly never done anything to wrong her."

Dai Mubai directly chose to forget all the filthy things he had done before.

Oscar's lips twitched.

Had Boss Dai done few things to betray his fiancée?

An image of Zhu Zhuqing's appearance flashed through Tang San's mind. Suddenly thinking of something, he asked Oscar.

"Xiao Ao, that woman's master... does he look like a young man? Is he rather handsome too?"

Oscar froze for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked in return.

"Yes? Have you seen him before?"

Hearing the confirmation, Tang San became certain of his suspicion and said to Dai Mubai.

"Boss Dai, I think I know why she is treating you this way."

"Really? Why exactly?" Dai Mubai grabbed Tang San as if he were clutching at a lifeline.

Tang San did not explain directly, instead asking first.

"Do you remember what happened at Rose Hotel that day?"

"Of course I remember. Why are you asking about that?" Dai Mubai had already guessed, but he still held onto a shred of hope.

"That day, outside the hotel, I think I saw the two of them."

This time, Dai Mubai could no longer deceive himself. He said dejectedly.

"You mean she saw everything that day, when I brought the twins into the hotel."

"That should be the case."

"But Boss Dai, do not be sad.

So what if she saw it? What can she do? Could she possibly resist?"

A sinister smile appeared on Tang San's face.

"Women are like soul beasts. Men do not need to love them; we only need what is on them.

As long as we are strong enough, they cannot resist. In the end, their Spirit Rings and Soul Bones will all be ours."

"The reason we indulge them now is to wait until we become strong enough that they cannot resist."

Tang San did not know that a figure preparing to rush out of the academy had abruptly stopped in its tracks.
