Boss Xiao's Provocation!

Boss Xiao's Provocation!

But Xiao Wu was different.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

So she threw back the covers and instinctively glanced at Ma Hongjun.

She found that this guy was sleeping like the dead.

She immediately felt irritated.

It was all this guy's fault for making her so restless.

But Xiao Wu soon fell silent again.

She thought of her identity.

If she really agreed to be with him, what would happen when he learned her identity someday? Would he abandon her? Would they become enemies? Would he want to kill her and obtain her spirit ring?

At that thought, Xiao Wu could not help frowning, but she quickly shook her head.

Why was she even thinking about this? There was still nothing between them.

They had only known each other for a day, hadn't they?

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, just what is going on in that head of yours?" After giving herself a thorough scolding,

Xiao Wu closed her eyes again.

As for Tang San, he was no longer within her considerations.

The night passed.

Ma Hongjun woke up early. He had slept wonderfully the night before.

The moment he woke up, he got out of bed.

Then he instinctively looked toward Xiao Wu and found that the little rabbit was sleeping soundly.

He immediately walked over.

Xiao Wu looked just as adorable while asleep.

Ma Hongjun could not help wanting to reach out and touch her ears.

But at that moment, Xiao Wu opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Ma Hongjun's hand froze in midair.

"Um, I just wanted to wake you up," Ma Hongjun said.

Xiao Wu shot him an annoyed glare. What was this guy trying to do?

"Move aside. I need to get up," Xiao Wu said.

Ma Hongjun had not expected Xiao Wu not to get angry.

So he darted out his hand and touched Xiao Wu's rabbit ear again.

Then he ran off to wash up.

Xiao Wu's body stiffened. She glared resentfully at Ma Hongjun, but she did not get angry.

Over the next few days,

Ma Hongjun did not bring up making Xiao Wu his girlfriend again.

For a time, Xiao Wu even suspected that this guy had been playing her.

But their relationship grew much closer.

Xiao Wu no longer rejected some of Ma Hongjun's intimate gestures.

For example, touching her ears or holding her hand.

As for going any further, Ma Hongjun had not done so.

In short, they were more than friends but not quite lovers.

Ma Hongjun was quite satisfied with that.

And he had not been idle these past few days.

Whenever he had time, he cultivated diligently. As a result, his Soul Power Level had reached level 15.

This morning,

the two of them finished class as usual.

They prepared to head to the cafeteria for a meal.

Ma Hongjun was still holding Xiao Wu's hand.

Xiao Wu did not seem displeased now. Compared to a few days ago, she seemed to have grown accustomed to it.

Ma Hongjun also understood clearly that he had basically succeeded.

He just needed an opportunity to completely break through that final barrier.

Of course, he would create that opportunity himself.

He planned to confess to Xiao Wu again tonight.

Given their current relationship, Xiao Wu probably would not refuse.

Thinking of that put Ma Hongjun in a great mood.

But he soon frowned because someone blocked his path with Xiao Wu.

"Move aside. Why are you blocking us?" Xiao Wu spoke first.

The newcomer said directly, "You two are the so-called leaders of the work-study students, right? Our boss wants to see you. The meeting place is the school backyard. Come with me."

"Who are you? And who is your boss? Why should we go see him? If he wants to see us, tell him to come find us," Ma Hongjun said.

Xiao Wu also said, "Exactly. Tell that so-called boss of yours to come see us."

The newcomer immediately became furious.

"Our boss is Boss Xiao! He is the son of Notting City's city lord! How dare you disobey?"

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu were both stunned.

They exchanged a glance and immediately understood who had sent the person before them.

Wasn't it Boss Xiao, the one who had clashed with them in the cafeteria before?

After that day, Boss Xiao had not caused them any trouble.

So Ma Hongjun had stopped paying attention to him.

But now he had come looking for them.

That meant he had made preparations.

At that moment, the older student spoke again. "Well? Scared now, aren't you? You should obediently come with me."

But his answer was a fist.

Ma Hongjun truly could not stand the lackey's smug expression.

So he simply attacked.

To that boy, Ma Hongjun's speed was far too fast.

He could not dodge at all.

Ma Hongjun's fist struck him squarely in the cheek.

He immediately screamed and staggered backward.

Then he looked at Ma Hongjun with fear in his eyes.

"How dare you hit me?"

Xiao Wu said from the side, "Good hit. He deserved it."

"Go back and tell that Boss Xiao to wait. My girlfriend and I are going to eat first. After we're done, we'll go deal with him," Ma Hongjun said directly.

The boy wanted to throw out a few more threats.

But Ma Hongjun's glare sent the words back down his throat.

"Just wait. Boss Xiao will avenge me!" Leaving those words behind, he ran off.

Ma Hongjun merely scoffed.

It would have been an act of kindness if he had not gone looking for trouble with that guy.

He had not expected the guy to come knocking first. He really did not know his place.

But when Ma Hongjun turned around, he saw Xiao Wu glaring at him.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Why are you glaring at me?" Ma Hongjun pretended to be clueless.

"Who is your girlfriend? Explain yourself. I still haven't agreed to anything," Xiao Wu said.

"Oh, that? I believe you'll agree sooner or later. I'm a handsome, rich, and powerful little chubby guy. If you miss me, you won't find another," Ma Hongjun said narcissistically.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes.

This fatty was really becoming more and more shameless.

Still, aside from being a little fat, he barely fit what he had said.

"Boss, are we really going to see Boss Xiao later?" Wang Sheng asked from the side.

Ma Hongjun glanced at him and said, "What, are you scared?"

Wang Sheng froze for a moment, then said, "Boss, I'm not scared. I just think that since they called us there, they must have prepared something. They might have a lot of people. You're strong, Boss, but two fists can't beat four hands, so I was wondering whether we should bring everyone from our dorm."

Ma Hongjun did not have much of an opinion on that.

"That's up to you. Honestly, it doesn't matter whether you go or not," Ma Hongjun said.

Wang Sheng was left somewhat speechless.

The way Ma Hongjun put it made it sound as though they were completely useless.

Still, he soon gave a bitter smile. It seemed that they really would not be much help.
