Li Zhao absolutely did not dare to offend Lu Shifeng. Besides, the request wasn’t unreasonable, was it? He was rely asking Li Huanhuan to have a al with the young man. It wasn’t worth causing a scene over.
Li Zhao, her father, pushed open the door to Li Huanhuan’s bedroom. He had worked tirelessly for the Li family his entire life, and his temples already showed hints of white. He wore a placating smile and hesitated to speak, though Li Huanhuan already knew what he was about to say.
"Has sothing happened recently? Are you in a bad mood?" Li Zhao asked, probing gently.
Li Huanhuan shook her head, denying it. "Nothing’s happened. I’m in a great mood. If sothing had happened, I wouldn’t be able to hide it from you. I just don’t like the look of him, that’s all! He makes uncomfortable."
"Sigh." Li Zhao wrung his hands. "I don’t want to make things difficult for you, really. It’s just that our Li family went through so much trouble to invite Lu Shifeng as a guest." He trailed off, sighing again. "As your father... what can I do?"
This was the downside of belonging to a minor family. You didn’t dare offend the powerful clans, yet you also hoped to forge connections with them. Ultimately, it was all about seeking benefits for the family, finding a way to survive in the margins.
"Alright," Li Huanhuan said, unable to bear making things difficult for her father any longer. She finally relented. "I’ll... I’ll go have one al with him."
"Thank you," Li Zhao sighed. He wasn’t as happy as one might expect; it was clear he still prioritized his daughter’s feelings.
"It’s nothing. It’s just one al," she said. "It’s no trouble at all. I’m glad I can help you!"
Li Huanhuan gestured for Li Zhao to go downstairs first, saying she needed to touch up her makeup. While she was getting ready, she called Shen Fanyun just to be safe and explained the entire situation.
"Alright, I’m going to dinner now," she told him. "If... if that guy tries anything funny, Master, you have to beat him to death for !" she added with dead seriousness.
My Master is so powerful; why would he be afraid of so Lu family from Capital City? I’m giving my dad face by going, but if you really try sothing, hmph! I, Li Huanhuan, have a powerful backer too! Master could take down ten of you with a single punch, easy!
「About ten minutes later.」
Lu Shifeng was waiting at the entrance of the Li family ho when Li Huanhuan appeared, her makeup freshly touched up.
"I thought you were going to hold out to the very end," he sneered. "Heh, weren’t you too good to have dinner with ? Why so obedient now? Don’t play gas with . Did you really think I, Lu Shifeng, am a pushover? That I can’t even handle a little girl like you?"
Li Huanhuan said coldly, "Are we eating or not? If not, I’m leaving right now."
"You’re spoiled rotten!"
Lu Shifeng was left speechless.
Fine, fine, fine. So she was a real firebrand. He’d never been scolded by a girl like that in his entire life. But then again, he’d never t a woman so wild. Conquering her would surely be an incredible achievent, wouldn’t it? He was already fantasizing about pressing her down beneath him. What an intoxicating thought!
A business van pulled up. Lu Shifeng, in no mood for small talk, got in by himself. Li Huanhuan followed.
"Young Master, where to?" the driver asked, turning back with a smirk.
Lu Shifeng nonchalantly tossed out a single word, "Hotel."
Huh? Weren’t we supposed to be getting dinner? What’s this about a hotel?
"What are you doing?" Li Huanhuan’s expression turned guarded. She realized Lu Shifeng was dead set on having his way with her. He wasn’t even bothering to put on an act—he was just being blunt and reckless, without any reservations. It was as if he hadn’t even considered the possibility that she might refuse or fight back.
He chuckled. "A woman who falls into my hands thinks she can escape? You seriously underestimate , Lu Shifeng! It’s exactly what you think. I’m taking you to a hotel room," he admitted, a lecherous grin spreading across his face.
Li Huanhuan was stunned into silence.
Is he kidnapping in broad daylight? The sheer audacity! Is he completely lawless? Or is he just so used to rampaging around, doing whatever he pleases? She had never t anyone like this before. For a mont, her mind went blank, and she didn’t know how to react. She even considered jumping out of the moving car.
"I want to get out," Li Huanhuan said decisively.
Lu Shifeng simply crossed his legs, too lazy to waste any more words on her. "Which hotel is the most famous in Hangcheng City?" he asked the driver.
The driver paused for a mont before replying, "Cloudtop."
"Good," Lu Shifeng decided. "We’ll go to Cloudtop."
Huh? The tense and anxious Li Huanhuan from a mont ago suddenly beca calm. Isn’t that Master’s hotel? After he left, he said he was going back to the hotel to catch up on sleep. That ans he’s there right now!
In that instant, all of Li Huanhuan’s panic vanished. She sent a quick ssage to Shen Fanyun, then crossed her arms and leaned back against her seat.
Lu Shifeng found her change in attitude peculiar. "So, you’ve resigned yourself to your fate?" he said, looking smug. "Good, good. I like obedient girls. Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle with you. If you can please , the Li family will be under my protection from now on!"
As he spoke, Lu Shifeng’s tone shifted, filled with a strange, misplaced confidence. "This Young Master’s skills are anything but ordinary. You’ll get to experience them for yourself very soon!"
Idiot, Li Huanhuan thought, not even bothering to look at him. When it cos to skills, Master is the one who’s unmatched. Even though I don’t have much experience... and Master was my very first man... he’s still the best, no explanation needed! All I have to do is worship him blindly! Master is the best, Master is the strongest, Master is number one in the world! Hee hee!
"What are you laughing at?" Li Huanhuan’s giggle completely threw him off.
Has this girl lost her mind? Or... could she actually be looking forward to what’s coming?
A wicked impulse took hold of Li Huanhuan. In a soft, coquettish voice, she purred, "Young Master Lu, you’ll have to comfort properly... I-I don’t have much experience."
Lu Shifeng was montarily stunned. In an instant, his legs felt weak. Blood rushed to his head, and he began to stir restlessly. Her voice was impossible to resist, not to ntion her top-tier looks and figure.
"Alright, alright, I’ll definitely give you what you want," Lu Shifeng said with a wolfish grin, about to get his hands on her.
Li Huanhuan pretended to be shy. "Oh, but you’re making blush. Besides," she added, glancing at the driver, "we have an audience."
The driver coughed awkwardly, a flash of disappointnt in his eyes. So much for the free show! he thought.
Lu Shifeng understood and nodded. "Right. We’ll be at the hotel soon enough. No need to rush. I’ll let you see how amazing I am very soon!"
So this vixen was just playing hard to get? For a mont, Lu Shifeng’s imagination ran wild as he fantasized about the wonderful ti they would have tangled up in the sheets together.
