Xiao Wu Protects Her Husband!

Xiao Wu was still standing there in a daze.

Ma Hongjun secretly laughed to himself.

Girls—if you rushed things, you would only make them worse. Ma Hongjun understood that much.

That was why Ma Hongjun had not defeated Xiao Wu outright.

If he had, it would definitely have provoked her rebellious nature and made things worse. Stopping at just the right point let Xiao Wu see his strength while saving her face, and he had even taken a little advantage. Wasn't that better?

"Xiao Wu, do you agree with what I said?" Ma Hongjun asked again.

Xiao Wu finally snapped out of her daze.

She gave Ma Hongjun a complicated look before saying, "I agree."

A smile immediately appeared on Ma Hongjun's face.

Just like that, Ma Hongjun had become part of the dormitory.

He had also left an impression on Xiao Wu.

At the very least, Ma Hongjun felt that the impression he had made on Xiao Wu was far deeper than Tang San's.

"It's our first day at the academy. I'm glad to have met all of you. Let's go eat now! My treat!" Ma Hongjun said directly.

Everyone else in the dormitory cheered.

They had not expected this little fatty in front of them to be so strong.

And he even looked quite wealthy.

Most importantly, he was willing to treat them to a meal. As work-study students, they had to save every bit they could on every meal.

Naturally, they were delighted that someone was treating them.

"Long live Brother Ma!" someone shouted.

Just like that, everyone prepared to head to the dining hall.

Before they left, Ma Hongjun saw that Xiao Wu was still standing there in a slight daze.

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wu's hand.

"What are you spacing out for? Come on, let's eat," Ma Hongjun said.

Xiao Wu was a little annoyed by Ma Hongjun's actions.

"Let go of me," Xiao Wu said.

But how could Ma Hongjun possibly let go?

He pulled Xiao Wu along and started walking forward.

"You walk too slowly. Hurry up, I'll treat you to something tasty," Ma Hongjun said.

At the mention of tasty food, Xiao Wu's anger eased a little.

Besides, she tried to pull her hand free and discovered that he was genuinely very strong.

Unable to free herself, Xiao Wu simply let him pull her along.

The academy was not very large.

So they quickly arrived at the dining hall.

Wang Sheng cleverly stepped forward and said, "Boss, Sister Xiao Wu, I'll go get your meals."

Ma Hongjun greatly appreciated Wang Sheng's initiative.

Just then, an annoying voice rang out.

"Well, if it isn't Wang Sheng. Going to get food? Want me to take pity on you and let you eat with me on the second floor?" the newcomer said.

When Wang Sheng heard that, anger rose in his heart.

But he did not say much.

Because the newcomer was Xiao Chenyu, the boss of the older students.

He was also the little tyrant of this academy.

They had suffered plenty of bullying from him before.

Today, although a formidable person had joined their dormitory,

Wang Sheng did not want to cause trouble for Ma Hongjun.

So he ignored Xiao Chenyu, sidestepped him, and prepared to get food.

But Xiao Chenyu clearly had no intention of letting him go. One of the boys beside him stepped forward and blocked Wang Sheng's path.

"Our boss is talking to you. Didn't you hear him?" the little boy said.

Wang Sheng finally could not hold back any longer. "I'm going to get food. Move."

"Oh? You're getting pretty bold. What, did you suddenly grow a temper today?" Xiao Chenyu said.

Then he looked at Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun behind Wang Sheng.

He immediately understood something.

That morning, after class,

he had gotten into a verbal dispute with Xiao Wu.

If Wang Sheng had not pulled Xiao Wu away so quickly,

they probably would have started fighting.

Heh, who would have thought they would run into each other again?

"Wang Sheng, looks like you're getting food for someone? Ah, forget it. Why should I bother with you people? I'm a man of status. Why should I lower myself to argue with a bunch of poor wretches?" Xiao Chenyu said with a sigh.

"Boss, they probably don't even know what the food on the second floor tastes like, right?" another lackey beside him said.

Xiao Chenyu laughed at those words.

But Wang Sheng found that laughter especially grating.

Xiao Wu grew furious and immediately wanted to step forward.

But Ma Hongjun held her firmly in place.

Xiao Wu was immediately dissatisfied. In her eyes, her underling was being bullied, so how could she not stand up for him?

Just then, Ma Hongjun said, "Wang Sheng, I said I was treating you all to something good. Of course we're going to the second floor. Why are you going to the first floor?"

Everyone froze.

Wang Sheng was also shocked.

"Boss, did you mean the second floor?" Wang Sheng asked again.

"Of course. Is there a problem?" Ma Hongjun asked in return.

Wang Sheng was stunned.

There were more than a dozen work-study students in the entire academy.

If they all went to the second floor,

this one meal would probably cost at least ten gold soul coins.

He could not tell whether Ma Hongjun was truly rich or simply trying to save face.

So he said, "Boss, there probably isn't anything that good on the second floor. Let's just stay on the first floor."

Xiao Wu tugged at his hand from the side and said, "Do you have that much money?"

Ma Hongjun smiled. "No problem. I can afford to treat you all to a good meal once in a while. As for Xiao Wu, I could treat you every day if you wanted. As long as you're happy."

Ma Hongjun's words made Xiao Wu freeze again.

A blush then appeared on her face.

Still, she stubbornly said, "Who wants you to treat me?"

"Are you sure you don't want me to? Fine, then I'll save some money," Ma Hongjun said again.

Xiao Wu's expression immediately turned awkward.

She suddenly felt like punching Ma Hongjun.

But inwardly, she thought, Hmph! Don't even think about saving money. I'm definitely making this rich boy pay. You didn't get to hold my hand for nothing.

To outsiders,

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu looked like they were flirting.

Xiao Chenyu's expression darkened.

Ma Hongjun's behavior was practically a complete disregard for him.

"Who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before," Xiao Chenyu asked directly.

Ma Hongjun turned to Xiao Chenyu and said, "Before asking someone else's name, you should introduce yourself first. That's called manners, understand? Besides, plenty of people don't know me. Who the hell are you supposed to be?"

Xiao Wu immediately felt much better after hearing that.

Xiao Chenyu was clearly enraged.

Seeing his expression, the lackey beside him stepped forward and said, "Open your eyes wide. This is Boss Xiao."

Ma Hongjun said disdainfully, "Just a little brat, and you call yourself Boss Xiao?"

Xiao Chenyu was truly furious.

"Who the hell are you?"

"What does that have to do with you?" Xiao Wu said from the side.

Ma Hongjun looked at Xiao Wu in surprise.

Then a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

I'm in love, I'm in love. The little rabbit spoke up for me. Is she protecting her husband?

"You—" Xiao Chenyu was so angry that he was about to step forward and attack.

But just then, a middle-aged man's voice rang out. "What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to eat?"
