Everyone's attention had turned to this young man who was looking at Shun Long with a hostile gaze. He had caught him looking at Liu i but what had frustrated him even more, was that Liu i seed to be dazed for a second looking at him as well.
The cold and proud Liu i who had never showed him any special attention, had her gaze glued to another man.
Fatty Fu was the first to react as he looked at this man and in a voice full of anger he said
''ng Shengyi, you pathetic bootlicker how dare you insult my brother?! Why is trash like you even following sister Liu and my Jinjing anyway?''
The young master of the ng family was furious after hearing fatty Fu's insulting words, but before he could even respond to him, Liu i's cold voice sounded as she said
''Young master ng, please don't call sister i as if we are intimate together. You and I barely know each other.''
Liu i was extrely annoyed by ng Shengyi's words. Although he had occasionally pestered her privately calling her sister i even though she had expressed her dislike nurous tis, calling her like that in public was almost hinting that they were closer than they really are. However, although Liu i disliked ng Shengyi, she had her own personal problems as well.
Lan Jinjing however gave a thumbs up to fatty Fu secretly as she then said
''Senior sister, I had an appointnt with Fu Li today can you please accompany ?''
Liu i nodded her head at Lan Jinjing as they followed behind Fu Li who was heading with Shun Long towards one of the private rooms in the back.
anwhile, ng Shengyi was still like a statue in the middle of the third floor, as everyone watched him being left alone.
His face had turned scarlet, unknown if he was embarrassed or angry as he looked at Liu i's and Lan Jinjing's back thoughtfully before he turned to leave the floor while he thought to himself
''Liu i, you ungrateful bitch. I have been chasing you for over a year and yet you still refuse to acknowledge even after all of my sincerity? Watch how I make you pay in the future!''
As ng Shengyi left the third floor of the 'Treasure Pavilion', Fu Li and Shun Long along with the 2 girls had just entered in one of the private rooms near the back. As soon as the door closed, Lan Jinjing started laughing as she said
''Fu Li, good job. Although you can be considered a lazy pig most of the ti and grandpa Fu is right to beat you, you really made happy today seeing ng Shengyi's bitter face like that.''
Liu i was also smiling as she heard that while Fu Li had a serious expression on his face as he asked Lan Jinjing
''ng Shengyi can be a real problem for sister Liu though. He has been trying to court her for such a long ti, and his father has even asked for permission from the sect master. Although the sect master said that he will consider this matter, wasn't today equivalent of slapping ng Shengyi in the face?''
Lan Jinjing seed as if she wanted to say sothing, but she then looked warily at Shun Long before she threw a look at fatty Fu.
Fatty Fu understood her aning as he said
''This is my brother Shun Long. Jinjing you don't have to look warily at him. You had also seen him when he had co in conflict inside the 'Alchemist's Guild' with that Bu Duyi. Anyways, he is my brother, you don't have to worry about anything and can speak freely.''
Lan Jinjing and Liu i turned to look at Shun Long in astonishnt as they suddenly rembered that scene from 4 months ago in the 'Alchemist's Guild'.
Liu i then smiled as she looked at Shun Long and said
''So that's why you looked sowhat familiar.''
Seeing Liu i's beautiful smile Shun Long felt his heart stirring for a few monts. However, despite her enchanting appearance and even though he had a relatively good opinion of her, Shun Long wasn't going to judge a woman simply based on her looks.
Lan Jinjing nodded her head and looked at fatty Fu as she said
''Since no one of us here have any connections with the ng family I will speak freely. Although ng Shengyi is an eyesore and has pestered senior sister a lot, we have put up with him since his ng family has a good relationship with their Liu family. However, today he declared to senior sister, that he will bring his father and officially ask for senior sister's hand in marriage in a few months. Senior sister said that she doesn't intend to marry him and yet all he said was that it doesn't matter as they can learn to love each other in the future.''
As soon as Lan Jinjing finished speaking, silence perated the room for a while until Liu i looked at Lan Jinjing and said
''It's okay, I will return and speak to my father about this. I think that he will understand''
''But senior sister...''
''No need to worry, I understand what you want to say, but you also know the position that I am in.''
Lan Jinjing nodded her head and didn't continue to speak.
Liu i looked at Shun Long's eyes and noticed that his eyes were also looking at hers with hints of curiosity as well as interest inside them.
Liu i blushed and bowed her head at him as she said
''I apologize if I have caused you any trouble.''
Shun Long shook his head as he smiled at her while Fu Li responded happily
''No trouble Sister Liu, no trouble at all.''
''Of course she didn't cause you any trouble Fu Li.''
Lan Jinjing looked at Fu Li as she spoke matter-of-factly before hooking her arm around Liu i's.
After the 2 won bade their farewells and left hurriedly to find Liu i's father, Fu Li turned his head to look at Shun Long and asked
''Brother Shun, have you fallen for sister Liu?''
