"Hubby, cuddles, recharge..." After climbing into bed, Luo Beishi wrapped his arms around his big Huo plushie again and closed his eyes.
He had never known sleeping with someone in his arms could be so comfortable. Now he had experienced it!
He was also starting to feel less afraid of his vegetative husband.
Huo Cixiao was about to be shocked awake again. His bargain wife was pushing his luck more and more!
He had thought his bargain wife would behave himself a little. Usually, he only ran his mouth at most, but now he was getting handsy!
Uncle Chen, hurry up and drag this person out!
Knowing his body was under threat, Huo Cixiao felt both a headache coming on and a sense of helplessness.
Forget it. He must have been too frightened by what happened outside today...
I-I'll reluctantly let him hold me for one night, then. What a clingy bargain wife. He just can't do without me. Hmph.
The next day.
Luo Beishi put away the orange-covered book Tax Planning and stuffed it into his bag. Another day had passed with him slacking off. He slung on his backpack, tucked his hands into his pockets, and was about to walk out of the classroom.
Suddenly, a girl in a black JK school uniform who often hovered around him lowered her head and held out a pink letter to him, declaring very loudly and solemnly, "Luo, I like you! Please..."
Luo Beishi frowned at once and interrupted her unhappily. "I thought everyone in class knew I was married. Apparently, some people still don't.
"Then let me say it again. I'm already married. My husband is very handsome, and I have a happy, fulfilling family life." With that, he walked around the girl blocking his way and left through the doorway behind her.
The other students who had not left all looked over. None of the girls had expected someone to be this bold. Someone was actually handing out love letters in this day and age.
Still, it was no wonder she had been rejected. Luo Beishi was already married, and she was publicly confessing her feelings... Wasn't that the same as openly trying to become a mistress? Luo Beishi had been quite good-tempered not to curse her out.
The girl who had confessed froze for a moment, only belatedly remembering that Luo Beishi also had a vegetative husband... She had forgotten. This was so humiliating.
Luo Beishi did not wear a wedding ring or anything, so she had assumed...
Knowing she had embarrassed herself, she blushed scarlet and, amid everyone's chatter, returned to her seat, picked up her schoolbag, and left.
In fact, many people privately wanted to talk to Luo Beishi, and some gold-digging female students had even fantasized about being with him.
They could spend Luo Beishi's money and sleep with him too, gaining both wealth and a handsome man.
There were quite a few people at school who thought this way. Some even began openly sizing Luo Beishi up with undisguised gazes.
With his recent time in the spotlight, a vote had replaced Guan Lei, the former campus heartthrob, with Luo Beishi.
At this, Luo Beishi marveled that once someone had money, even the way other people looked at them changed.
Even if you remained arrogant and rude to others, someone would always find excuses for your behavior.
Luo Beishi could feel those blatant gazes everywhere at school. Helpless, he could only quicken his pace. Just as he was about to head to the parking garage, the system stopped him in time. "Host, another group is waiting for you in the parking garage!"
"All right, then we won't go to the garage."
Luo Beishi called the two bodyguards in the parking garage to let them know.
The two bodyguards in the underground garage had also sensed danger and realized that quite a few people had arrived nearby.
They had been about to call the madam themselves and tell him not to come down, but to their surprise, he had beaten them to it.
The madam really could foresee everything!
"You two haven't been spotted, have you?" Luo Beishi and the bodyguards had not driven the same car.
"Not so far. Madam, shall we drive to the school gates and wait for you?"
"Yes, that works."
The criminals had already laid an inescapable net in the parking garage, waiting for Luo Beishi to come down so they could catch him like a turtle in a jar. Who would have thought that over half an hour would pass without him showing up?
"Boss, could Luo Beishi's teacher be keeping the class late?"
"Impossible! I checked. That teacher is very young and bolts faster than the students as soon as class ends!"
"Besides, Luo Beishi's car is still there!"
The conspicuous red Ferrari was still parked in the corner. It was much like its owner, looking particularly flashy and arrogant.
Just like that, they waited another hour...
But instead of Luo Beishi, a group of police officers arrived and surrounded them in the garage.
The garage's surveillance cameras had also been repaired at some point.
The police arrested eight people this time, all among the nation's top two hundred wanted criminals. To be safe, they had spent over an hour deploying their forces before successfully taking them into custody.
Having arrived home two hours late yesterday, Luo Beishi had wised up. If something did not require him to lift a finger, he absolutely would not. By now, he was already home.
When Assistant Zhang received the news, he nearly shattered his glasses in anger.
This Luo Beishi was actually so difficult to deal with. Having failed to resolve the problem for the second young master, he was too ashamed to face him, especially since he had been the one to propose the idea.
What should have been a sure thing had now gone wrong at every turn. Before they had even caught sight of Luo Beishi, the eight men had been surrounded and arrested by the police.
Apprehensive, he knocked on Huo Cifeng's door.
One look at Assistant Zhang's weathered face told Huo Cifeng that the operation had failed again. "Go on. What was the reason this time?"
Assistant Zhang replied in a low voice, "All eight people we hired this time were arrested. Luo Beishi never showed up."
Huo Cifeng: "..."
He really had underestimated this Luo Beishi, who had once only spoken to him with his head lowered. Did he have to get involved himself before Luo Beishi would appear?
"Are any major families holding banquets soon?"
"Yes. The Jia Family, for Old Master Jia's birthday."
"Get an invitation and send it to Luo Beishi. I refuse to believe he won't leave the house." Not attending would mean disrespecting the other prominent families. He would see how long Luo Beishi could hold out.
"Yes."
"Find some drugs and set a trap." Huo Cifeng kept it brief, but Assistant Zhang understood instantly.
"Yes, young master. Is there anything else?" Assistant Zhang did not dare say anything more. After two consecutive failed operations, even though Huo Cifeng had not lost his temper with him, he barely dared to breathe.
At noon the following day.
Luo Beishi received the birthday banquet invitation. His lips curved, and he gave a chuckle before handing it back to the butler.
He said, "You can casually let word spread that I'm very happy to have received the invitation and will definitely attend on Saturday."
Huo Cixiao: "..."
Someone was clearly trying to stir up trouble. He would see how his bargain wife handled it.
Honestly, for every day he remained unconscious, his bargain wife had business warfare and spy warfare playing out around him...
He thought that perhaps in a few more days, the person the prominent families most wanted to beat up would no longer be him, Huo Cixiao, but his bargain wife instead. Even if his bargain wife stayed quietly at home, his enemies could keep multiplying.
Unfortunately, this body of his really was too useless. Even when his bargain wife encountered danger, he could not get up and deal with it for him...
Sensing the gloomy atmosphere around Huo Cixiao, Luo Beishi chuckled. "Hubby, were you having a nightmare?"
Uncle Chen: "!!!"
He had never expected the madam could already call the young master "hubby" so sweetly!
