"Mr. Gu, as you instructed, we are here waiting for Miss Su," said the two little brothers in the truck as soon as Gu Chenan appeared.
"Take down the banner and drive the truck away!" Gu Chenan said immediately.
"Huh?" The two little brothers looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"Why are you just standing there? Get moving!" Gu Chenan urged.
Gu Chenan had thought that Su Qianmo's request to cancel the engagement would be promptly conveyed to the Gu family. But instead of a cancellation notice, what came was an invitation from Su Qianmo for him to have dinner at the Su family.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, it was clear that the banner was now inappropriate.
Just then, the two little brothers looked across the street.
On the sidewalk across the road, a young man with medium-length bangs covering his eyes was drinking a bottle of mineral water.
It was the Dragon King, Lin Yu!
Seeing Lin Yu, the two little brothers immediately revealed their cannon fodder nature and provoked him, "Hehehe, the Su family's little driver is here too."
"Hehehe, a petty driver like you still dares to compete with our Young Master Gu for Miss Su's affection? Wishful thinking!"
[Damn you two, what's wrong with you? Starting trouble with the male lead as soon as you show up? Drinking some mineral water and you want to pick a fight?]
[If the Dragon King punches you to death, that's your own fault. The more vicious you are, the more angry he'll be at me.]
[When the day comes he makes a move against me, I'll make sure you both die before me!]
Lin Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity as he let out a disdainful snort, "Bullies relying on numbers."
"What did you say?!"
"Say it again!"
The two little brothers immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to teach Lin Yu a lesson.
"Don't make trouble!" Gu Chenan said coldly, "Stay put."
"But Young Master Gu, this Lin Yu is too arrogant!"
[He's arrogant? If you didn't provoke him, why would he curse at you? ]
[Please respect the male lead. He's the Dragon King, don't keep courting death.]
[I'm trying to make it to the end of this story alive!]
Lin Yu looked at Gu Chenan, the anger and hatred in his eyes plain to see.
"Gu Chenan, just you wait. The humiliation today will be avenged!"
[What humiliation? What did I do? I didn't do anything!]
[Yes, my underlings have loose lips, but you're targeting the wrong person. Go after them!]
[You saw it yourself, they were about to attack you, but I stopped them!]
[Blaming this on me makes no sense at all!]
Gu Chenan was at a loss, but he had to maintain a villainous image. He responded, "Gu Chenan isn't afraid of you!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them.
[Did I go too far? That was just asking to get hit.]
[Damn, I pulled more aggro.]
Just then, Su Qianmo walked out of the building wearing a deep red bodycon skirt paired with shiny black stockings and black high heels with a red sole.
It goes without saying that even in professional office attire, Su Qianmo's figure was already explosive. Now, in a bodycon skirt, she looked even more devilishly sexy.
Her ample curves contrasted with her petite figure. Simply tempting.
Especially paired with her aloof, keep-out expression, she perfectly embodied an ice queen.
Seeing Gu Chenan from afar, she quickened her pace towards him.
She drew many gazes along the way.
Including Lin Yu's.
"Qianmo!" Lin Yu called out.
Su Qianmo's eyebrows immediately furrowed, her expression even colder.
But Lin Yu still didn't get the hint. He thought he was once again acting the hero rescuing the beauty.
According to the original plot, this time Lin Yu did prevent Gu Chenan from pestering Su Qianmo.
But the current storyline...was no longer the original.
"Gu Chenan, Qianmo's cancellation of your engagement is set in stone. There's no need to make such a scene. These roses are just wasted!"
Seeing the banner on the truck, Lin Yu arrogantly assumed Su Qianmo had already requested calling off the engagement from the Gu family.
"That's not..." Gu Chenan wanted to explain, but Lin Yu cut him off, continuing to mock, "Gu Chenan, since the hard approach didn't work, you want to try the soft approach now? Let me advise you to give up that idea. Qianmo won't accept you!"
Su Qianmo is the woman I, the Dragon King Lin Yu, have my eyes on. How could she have any connection with you?
Even if your looks and background are better than mine, what of it? I, Lin Yu, am determined to make her part of my harem!
Su Qianmo had arrived next to Gu Chenan.
She glanced at Lin Yu with some disgust.
I already fired you, so what are you doing here now?
From your words, you're still taking me as part of your harem?
Do you really think all women are attracted to you? Disgusting!
"Mr. Gu, no need to waste words on him. Let's go," Su Qianmo linked her arm naturally with Gu Chenan's.
This move nearly scared Gu Chenan to death.
[Miss, what are you doing?]
[Linking arms with me right in front of the Dragon King Lin Yu, are you trying to get me killed?]
[You're the Dragon King's harem girl. Go have your blissful life with him and stop cursing me!]
[First inviting me to dinner at the Su house, now linking arms in public, what schemes are you plotting?]
It's said in web novels that you shouldn't even look at the male lead's women. If anyone dares glance a few extra times, they'll definitely die horribly next chapter.
Gu Chenan knew this reasoning.
Last time, he had tried his best to avoid any contact with the Dragon King's harem. But even being careful didn't stop the female lead from falling for him, leading to his death before the ending.
Yet now the female lead had actually linked arms with him right in front of the male lead. In this situation, he'd be lucky to survive three more chapters!
Gu Chenan tried hard to pull his arm out, but Su Qianmo had practically wrapped both arms around his, leaving him unable to do anything but feel her softness and unable to pull free.
Su Qianmo's brows furrowed slightly as she muttered, "Who's his harem? Who wants to have a blissful life with him? Utterly absurd."
"Let's go, Mr. Gu. No need to get tangled up with this Lin Yu," said Su Qianmo, pulling Gu Chenan towards the car.
Behind them, Lin Yu watched this scene dumbfounded.
Qianmo, what is going on here!
That's it!
Qianmo must be protecting me!
Earlier at Gu Chenan's villa, I took a punch from Ma Bing, so now she's trying hard to pull Gu Chenan away, afraid I'll get beaten again if we keep fighting!
Thinking this, a warm feeling flowed through Lin Yu's heart.
Qianmo cares about me!
To protect me, she's willing to humble herself before scum like Gu Chenan. Intolerable!
Qianmo, just wait. Once my martial arts improve a bit more and I can defeat Ma Bing, you won't have to compromise yourself for my sake any longer!
