Chapter 14: Some People Were Born Nobler Than You
At the dungeon’s entrance, Su Mumu stood on her tiptoes and wiped the cold water off Lin Ye’s face with a towel. “Why are you all wet?” She asked in confusion.
“I have no choice,” Lin Ye replied, “I’m not a Mage like you, and I can’t walk on water either, so for this ‘cheat’ to work, I have to swim. So, of course, I’m going to be wet!”
Su Mumu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Didn’t you plan this out beforehand? You could have at least bring a set of clothes and a towel. Get yourself changed before exiting the dungeon. What if you catch a cold?”
“I brought it,” Lin Ye calmly said.
Su Mumu’s brows slightly furrowed, “Then?”
“I brought back news and gifts for Miss Su, but I was hoping the fine lady would repay my kindness by treating me to a meal….” He said dramatically. Then he trailed off into a chuckle. “Don’t tell me. You were hoping to sleep with me for three nights?”
Hearing this, Su Mumu pouted her little mouth adorably and threatened him, “You want to die?” Then the girl changed the topic and lowered her voice, “Anyway, two people were trying to hit on me just now, but I rejected them by saying you’re my boyfriend. Hopefully, they will give up once they see us.”
Lin Ye blink rapidly, letting the information sink in. Then…
“F*ck! You’re using me as your shield again?”
Seeing that she had caught him off guard, Su Mumu happily laughed, “Since you’re so useful, I couldn’t help but use you~.”
“Nope. Nu-uh. I won’t,” Lin Ye quickly shook his head, “You can’t force me to take a knife for you! I don’t want to be chased by all the boys like I did for you in middle scho—” Lin Ye suddenly stopped, his eyes caught something over her shoulder, “Are you talking about the rich guy that’s walking this way?”
Su Mumu turned around to glance and quickly faced her friend again. “Yes. I think he’s called Huang Shaofeng, the young master of the Huang Corp. I heard he likes dating many girls at once. He’s like an old scumbag.”
“Wrong, only the poor are scumbags.” Lin Ye corrected. “The rich... Are the nation’s husbands!” He teased.
Su Mumu rolled her eyes, “You’re so annoying!”
Lin Ye touched his nose, “What do you mean? If you want me to help you persuade him to leave, what’s in it for me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Mumu gave him an ‘innocent’ smile, “There are no benefits, but I can gladly give you a taste of my fist. I insist.”
“Women are just so unreasonable….” Lin Ye sighed helplessly, “Let’s go. I’m going to change my clothes. I’ll also help you persuade this ‘scumbag’ to leave,” he said.
As he spoke, Lin Ye naturally held Su Mumu’s little hand and took her to the entrance of the dungeon hall, just like when they were young.
Seeing that the pair was leaving, Huang Shaofeng quickened his pace and rushed in front of the two. He said in an amicable tone, “Hello–”
Lin Ye cut him off by using a textbook refusal method, “Sorry, we’re a little busy. If you want to sell something, please find someone else.”
“Uh, I’m not trying to sell...” Huang Shaofeng began, feeling a little subconscious. But before he could finish, Lin Ye pulled Su Mumu and walked past Huang Shaofeng. They went straight to the hall’s exit without looking back, not intending to say anything anymore to the rich boy.
Huang Shaofeng’s mouth dropped open into an ‘O’, “Huh?”
‘
F*ck, okay. Did he just… He just ignored me!
‘
‘
He even dares to mock me by calling me a salesman?
‘
As they left, Huang Shaofeng silently watched Lin Ye and Su Mumu’s back. A trace of gloominess flashed in his eyes, and the gentle and charming aura of Prince Charming completely vanished.
To Huang Shaofeng, it didn’t matter what the people thought of him. He’d be fine if they ignored or scolded him behind his back.
After all, a tiger would never care about the eyes of an ant.
He’ll let them scorn him, let them be sour. It doesn’t matter because he’ll continue to enjoy himself and be done with it.
However, if he took the initiative to express his good intentions, and the other party ignored him with a virtuous appearance, then that would not do.
What was the point of living?
Face!
I gave you ‘face’ and even took the initiative to be nice to you, but you ignored me while pretending to be the good people!
That’s not giving me ‘face’!
Huang Shaofeng was a person who cared the most about whether others gave him face or not.
The boys nearby, who were already unhappy with Huang Shaofeng, saw him fail to talk to the guy and were even intimidated by that girl’s “boyfriend”. Now they were all looking at Huang Shaofeng as if he was an idiot!
This made Huang Shaofeng lose even more face, and his face was as red as a monkey’s butt.
When had he ever been laughed at by a group of ants?
“Damn it...”
Huang Shaofeng returned to Zhao Qihang, who was happily chatting with the girls, and said impatiently, “Zhao Qihang, let’s go back!”
Zhao Qihang casually replied, “What’s the rush? No need to hurry. These girls are entertaining to talk to. I want to invite….”
He slowly trailed off as he saw Huang Shaofeng’s dark expression. That boy looked ready to kill someone.
He immediately guessed that not only did this guy fail to initiate a conversation with the cute girl, but he had also been somewhat insulted by whatever she said.
‘
Wait, okay. He’s furious!
‘
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhao Qihang quickly made some excuses to send the group of girls away to avoid them being used as a punching bag by the angry Huang Shaofeng.
Then Zhao Qihang swiftly pulled Huang Shaofeng out of the dungeon hall. He then asked in confusion, “Hey, Huang Shaofeng, what happened just now? Why are you so angry? She didn’t slap you, right?”
If possible, Huang Shaofeng’s face turned redder from anger, “Hmph! It’s not her I’m angry at! It’s that girl’s boyfriend... He’s broke, a stinky loser has no background, and has to rely on the school’s trash Instance Dungeons to level up! And he dared to ignore me! And he f*cking mocked me by calling me a seller! Who does that and to me of all people!?”
Zhao Qihang was speechless.
‘
Ah… I see. It’s the guy who riled him up,
‘
To summarize, he was ignored by the girl, ridiculed by the girl’s boyfriend, and in the end, was intimidated by them…
‘
But this was your fault in the first place anyway! The girl clearly showed no interest in you, but you just
had to
flirt with her. Of course, her boyfriend would attack you. What do you think would happen? A pat on the back?
‘You better be grateful that the guy was not someone with a bad temper. If he were, he would’ve beaten you up into a pulp for being so shameless to his girlfriend!
‘
Zhao Qihang thought silently but tried to maintain his expression neutral.
He wanted to teach Huang Shaofeng a lesson. He needed to know that there are just some things that money can buy.
However, due to the relationship between their fathers, and not to mention this fellow’s bad temper, he could only sigh helplessly and try to smooth things over.
“Aish, alright, alright. That guy probably has bad eyesight and doesn’t recognize who you were... You’re a great man, so don’t hold it against him. Calm down and forget about it, okay? Let’s go karaoke. I’m sure it will help us calm ourselves. I’ll even treat you!”
“I can invite the girls I just talked to as well! They are very fun and funny too. It’ll be exciting to drink with them!”
Unfortunately, Huang Shaofeng wasn’t as benevolent as Zhao Qihang.
He coldly replied, “No. I’m going to give this kid a good lesson! He needs to learn that some people... Are just born nobler than him, an existence he can never afford to offend!”
