Seeing Luo Jiaying, Wang Fei immediately cast aside his recent fear. He quickly tidied his attire and said to Luo Jiaying with a grin,
"Miss Luo, you're here too?"
Luo Jiaying only then noticed Wang Fei, and asked with a look of confusion,
"Wang Fei? What are you doing here?"
She then glanced at Han Lang, as if realizing something, and immediately frowned, saying,
"Are you trying to cause trouble for Brother Han Lang again?"
Wang Fei quickly explained,
"How could I? We just happened to meet and say hello, didn't we, Young Master Han? Besides, how could a refined and elegant man like myself resort to violence? You've misunderstood!"
In Wang Fei's mind, bowing his head and admitting defeat at the right time was a sign of a great man who could bend and stretch. However, while his head could be severed and blood could flow, his dignity in front of Luo Jiaying could not be lost! Even though Han Lang beside him was wide-eyed and disbelieving at his sudden change in attitude, it couldn't stop his determination to perform well in front of Luo Jiaying.
"I hope so! Otherwise, I'll tell Senior Xue Rong!" 138 Reading Network
Wang Fei was clearly startled by this statement. He glanced around furtively, confirming that Cao Xue Rong was nowhere in sight, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heh heh, Miss Luo, you don't need to threaten me. It's not four years ago anymore, do you think I'm still afraid of her?"
Although Wang Fei said this, he was very uneasy in his heart.
Almost everyone at Le Lan University knew that Wang Fei, the young master of the Wang family, one of the eight great families of Lecheng, had two fatal weaknesses!
First, he was secretly in love with the campus belle Luo Jiaying and regarded her as his goddess.
This could be seen from the fact that he unconsciously tidied his appearance and maintained his image every time he saw Luo Jiaying.
At Le Lan University, if you were bullied by him and said you would call the police, then I'm sorry, he might escalate! But if you said you would record it and show it to Luo Jiaying, he would definitely immediately smile and seek reconciliation with you.
His second weakness was his deep fear of Cao Xue Rong, the former campus belle and ice-cold goddess of Le Lan University.
Wang Fei and Luo Jiaying were in the same year, he was a freshman, and Cao Xue Rong was a senior.
When the freshmen enrolled, Wang Fei, relying on his status as a young master of the eight great families, was arrogant and forcefully cut in line. He was discovered on the spot by Cao Xue Rong, who was the student union president at the time and also the student representative for that welcoming event!
Angrily, Cao Xue Rong didn't say a word, directly stepped forward, grabbed him, and threw him to the middle of the sports field!
The weather in September was scorching hot.
Not only did Wang Fei endure the scorching sun alone on the sports field, but more importantly, he was laughed at by the entire school on the first day of school.
He felt wronged but dared not speak out. In terms of status, she was from a wealthy family; in terms of strength, she was a senior and the student union president with real power. It was reasonable to punish a little newcomer who broke the rules right after enrolling.
From then on, Wang Fei's young heart was left with a huge shadow by Cao Xue Rong. During his freshman year, he was cautious and meticulous, afraid of being caught by Cao Xue Rong again. He even had to take detours when he encountered Cao Xue Rong.
"Hi, Senior Sister. Over here!"
Seeing Wang Fei's feigned composure, Luo Jiaying deliberately wanted to tease him.
As expected, upon hearing the voice, Wang Fei immediately turned his head in shock. However, besides the busy waiters, there was no sign of Cao Xue Rong in the corridor.
To ease the awkwardness, he deliberately twisted his neck left and right and said,
"Oh dear, why is my neck so sore lately! Heh heh, Miss Luo, you don't need to test me anymore! I, Wang Fei, a dignified man, how can I be afraid of a woman?"
As he spoke, Luo Jiaying's eyes suddenly lit up. She then happily waved towards Wang Fei's back again and shouted loudly,
"Senior Sister! Over here!"
Wang Fei sneered and said nonchalantly,
"Miss Luo, your acting is too clumsy. Do you think I'll fall for it twice? Today, let alone her Cao Xue Rong not being here, even if she were standing in front of me now, I wouldn't be afraid..."
At this moment...
"Wang Fei, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this voice, Wang Fei's scalp tingled as he slowly turned his head. Seeing Cao Xue Rong, dressed in a long dress, slowly approaching, his pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with terror. The "clack" of Cao Xue Rong's high heels echoing in the corridor struck Wang Fei's heart.
He quickly put on a fawning smile and said,
"Ah, Senior Sister Cao! Are you also here for dinner? I happened to book a private room over there, would you like to join? Heh heh heh."
Who was Cao Xue Rong? How could she let him get away with it so easily? She immediately darkened her expression and questioned,
"Were you just talking badly about me?"
Wang Fei quickly explained,
"No, no, how would I dare?"
Han Lang and Luo Jiaying were now gloating, eager to stir up trouble, and quickly accused.
"Senior Sister, he just said that as a grown man, he's not afraid of a weak woman like you! And he was planning to cause trouble for me and Brother Han Lang here."
Wang Fei stared wide-eyed at Luo Jiaying, thinking, "When did I ever cause trouble for you?"
He quickly explained verbally,
"No, no, Senior Sister Cao, don't listen to Miss Luo's nonsense. Under your earnest guidance, I have always adhered to being a law-abiding and good youth. How could I do such a thing?"
"That's for the best! If I find out you dare to disturb the young couple's meal, see how I deal with you!"
Cao Xue Rong seemed to be reprimanding Wang Fei, but her eyes were full of playful amusement as she looked at Han Lang and Luo Jiaying. Luo Jiaying's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and even Han Lang couldn't help but look awkward.
The most shocked was Wang Fei. At this moment, his mouth hung open, his eyes wide, and his face filled with disbelief. His mood plummeted to the bottom.
"Young couple? You... aren't you cousins? How can you be a young couple?"
After their first meeting at Zhongcaotang, Wang Fei had inquired about Han Lang and Luo Jiaying's relationship. Upon learning that Han Lang's mother and Luo Jiaying's mother had a close relationship, and coupled with Luo Jiaying always calling Han Lang "brother," he had always assumed they were cousins. However, Cao Xue Rong's words today completely overturned his understanding.
Now it was Cao Xue Rong's turn to watch the fun and not be afraid of causing trouble. She immediately said with a smile,
"Oh, you didn't know? Their parents have a close relationship, and they've been childhood sweethearts who grew up playing together. You should wake up from your goddess dream."
Wang Fei was instantly stunned on the spot, and his goddess faith instantly collapsed. Luo Jiaying wanted to explain, but before she could speak, Wang Fei, like a madman, pointed at Han Lang and gritted his teeth, cursing,
"Han Lang! You dare to lay your hands on my goddess, I, Wang Fei, will be your sworn enemy! Ah~"
Wang Fei's eyes were red, and he was so angry that he was almost spitting fire. With a roar, and even with a hint of a sob, he fled from this place that had broken his heart.
Watching Wang Fei's retreating back, Han Lang was completely bewildered. After a long while, he finally reacted and said softly to Cao Xue Rong,
"Miss Peach, it seems you've made me an inexplicable love rival in just a few words!"
Cao Xue Rong waved her hand and replied nonchalantly,
"Hey, it's nothing! Although Wang Fei has the personality of a young master, he's not bad at heart. He wouldn't do anything outrageous, don't worry!"
"But... he's very close to Gou Tuizhi..."
Cao Xue Rong was also stunned by this statement, but she still said dismissively,
"It's okay, if anything happens, tell me, Sister will cover you."
Then she turned back and whispered playfully in Luo Jiaying's ear,
"Did you hear that? A love rival!"
This made Luo Jiaying's pretty face flush. She lightly punched Cao Xue Rong's shoulder, saying,
"It's all your fault, talking nonsense!"
But in her heart, she was delighted.
