Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 24: The Provocation of the Treacherous Lord

  "Uh, I didn't mean to make you bleed just now." Lan Ran seemed unsure of what to say next, but suddenly her face turned red as she asked: "Did you... did you sneak a peek at me just now?"

  "Sneak a peek? Sneak a peek at what?" Lu Xiaoqian feigned ignorance, thinking to himself, "You can even ask this kind of question out loud, I not only looked, but also touched!" Can I admit it?

  Lan Ran's face turned red as she burst out with intense killing intent, "Did you sneak a peek at me?!"

  "I say you're so young, how can your mind be so dirty all the time! I saw that you were sweating and was afraid you wouldn't sleep well, so I helped you take off your clothes." Lu Xiaoqian said with some dissatisfaction.

  "Oh? Really?" Lan Ran was somewhat skeptical.

  She woke up to see Lu Xiaoqian's note and was furious. This bastard had money on him but said he didn't have enough to pay the bill, and even scared her by saying that the chef would come back with a big butt, which made her not eat well for the whole meal. Later, when she got drunk, this bastard actually opened a room and put her in it, and even took off his own clothes. Although when she woke up, she found that she hadn't been substantively violated, but what Lu Xiaoqian did while she was asleep, she wasn't clear about. Thinking of the dream she had just now, Lan Ran's pretty face involuntarily flushed with two red clouds.

  "You go back first, I'm going back to my room, goodbye." Lu Xiaoqian was ready to go back and recover his true strength, now Xing Jing was his best friend.

  "Oh no! What's wrong with you?" Lan Ran grabbed Lu Xiaoqian's arm and said, "Your ear is still bleeding, come with me to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and bandages, I'll help you dress it."

  "You still know how to bandage? It's not like it's a serious injury." Lu Xiaoqian looked up and down at this little confused person, with some doubts in her heart about the little confused person's skills.

  "Hmph! You have eyes...". Lan Ran was about to finish her catchphrase when she noticed the smile at the corner of Lu Xiaoqian's mouth and quickly changed her words: "You have eyes but no brains, this young lady is low-key."

  Lu Xiaoqian nodded, and bandaged himself up. It was already late at night, and he still had some things to take care of; he couldn't go out with a head full of injuries.

  Lu Xiaoqian and Lan Ran went to the pharmacy to buy some white medicine, band-aids, and iodine swabs, then returned to their hotel room. Lan Ran had Lu Xiaoqian sit in a chair, holding an iodine swab in her hand, gently wiping his ear with it.

  Lu Xiaoqian had to admit that Lan Ran did a very good job and was very serious, as if she had really learned some wound treatment skills.

  "Alright!" More than ten minutes later, Lan Ran clapped her hands and looked at Lu Xiaoqian's ears with a satisfied expression.

  Lu Xiaoqian looked at his ear in the mirror, which had been bandaged into a semi-rice dumpling shape. The gauze was wrapped very neatly, and he could feel a continuous cooling sensation on his ear. The wound didn't hurt as much as it did earlier. He turned to Lan Ran and said, "Thank you."

  "Cut it out, don't thank me." Lan Ran threw the used cotton swab into the trash can and asked with her back to Lu Xiaoqian: "Why did you get a divorce? You didn't have an affair, did you? Hehe."

  "Have you seen me having an affair?" Lu Xiaoqian smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking to himself that he was indeed having an affair, but it was with her.

  "You won't really be homeless now, will you?" Lan Ran looked at Lu Xiaoqian and asked, "How do you have so much money to pay the bill? This place is very expensive."

  Lu Xiaoqian chuckled and said, "I'm the kind of person who feels uncomfortable when I have money but don't spend it. Besides, if you weren't here today, who knows, maybe I would've gotten caught. So, thank you, it's nothing much."

  Lan Leng looked at Lu Xiaoqian's carefree smile and then lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she said softly: "You've spent a lot on me today, I'll treat you to dinner another day. You shouldn't stay here, this place isn't suitable for someone like you. I'm going home now, the library is closed and I didn't go to work this afternoon, tomorrow I'll be scolded by the director."

  "Well, hurry up then." Lu Xiaoqian surprisingly said in a rather ungracious manner.

  Lan Ran cursed this person in her heart! He didn't even ask to send himself off, nor did he ask for his own name, let alone the phone number! As a beautiful and refined lady from a prestigious family, Lan Ran had to maintain her dignity. She would never take the initiative to tell Lu Xiaoqian her phone number.

  Standing on the spot for half a day, Lan Leng glared at Lu Xiaoqian with a fierce gaze, then stomped her foot and stormed off in a huff.

  But Lu Xiaoqian again thickened her skin and chased after him: "Lan Ran!"

  Lan Ran thought that this kid had finally realized his mistake and was ready to surrender, standing with a dignified expression, looking at Lu Xiaoqian. For a good comrade who knows how to correct his mistakes, he should be treated leniently.

  "Blue Storm, are you going home? I'm just about to go to Man Han Lou for dinner, let's walk together." Lu Xiaoqian's eyes shifted around.

  "Want to go together? Didn't you ask me out for dinner? I just helped you with all the trouble and hard work for half a day, if it weren't for me, you would have gone in long ago. Although Lan Xiaojie is an understanding girl, that doesn't mean she can tolerate this man's rudeness without limits. Thinking of how Lu Xiaoqian deliberately pretended to have no money to pay the bill and made her lose face at noon, Lan Xiaojie suddenly emitted a sharp and cold aura, staring straight at Lu Xiaoqian's smiling face: "Lu Xiaoqian! You!"

  "Oh, got angry? Just kidding with you." Lu Xiaoqian took a step back and pressed the elevator button, then stood at the door to let Lan Ran go first.

  Lan Ran gave Lu Xiaoqian a stern look and didn't say anything, directly entering the elevator. Lu Xiaoqian also happily entered the elevator. The two of them left the Hangzhou restaurant and arrived at the station. Lan Ran was somewhat stunned, she had no money in her pocket and her phone was out of battery. If she relied on walking to get home, it would be a long way.

  While looking worried, Lu Xiaoqian smiled mischievously and said: "Your home isn't very far away, is it? Wearing high heels to walk is very tiring."

  "Are you done yet?!" Blue Lanyu's eyes widened in a thorough explosion of rage, her killing intent almost solidifying into substance.

  Lu Xiaoqian hailed a taxi and opened the door, saying to Lan Ran, "Get in!" After that, he got in first.

  "Cut." Lan Ran gave Lu Xiaoqian a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally got on the taxi.

  "Man Han Lou!" Lu Xiaoqian reported the address and closed his eyes to rest.

  The taxi driver was a middle-aged woman in her menopause who liked to nag. Seeing Lu Xiaoqian's bad attitude towards Lan Ran, she looked down on him and said, "Nowadays boys really don't know how to be considerate. I even saw a boy last time asking his girlfriend to pay the fare..."

  Lan Ran looked at Lu Xiaoqian with a pleased expression, apparently resonating with the foolish old woman, and nodded: "Auntie is right, a beautiful girl like you, actually following such an uncouth boy... really stupid..." After finishing speaking, Lan Ran burst out again with a sharp killing intent, staring straight at Lu Xiaoqian, she absolutely believed that Lu Xiaoqian could feel her killing intent.

  Lu Xiaoqian directly ignored Lan Ran's murderous aura, and the two women thought Lu Xiaoqian was ashamed when they saw him closing his eyes and not speaking. They started to nag and mock him incessantly, with every sentence containing veiled sarcasm that ridiculed Lu Xiaoqian, making him feel a splitting headache.

  The destination Man Han Building has arrived, and the nagging caused by nagging is also over. After Lu Xiaoqian got off the bus, Lan Ran also got off under the envious eyes of the female driver.

  "What are you getting off for? I didn't say I'd invite you to dinner." Lu Xiaoqian gave Lan Ran a look as if she was an idiot, then tossed a hundred yuan note into the taxi and said to the silly-looking old woman, "Take her home." After that, Lu Xiaoqian strode into Man Han Lou.

  Lan Ran, who had just gotten out of the car, felt a little happy in her heart. After all, a man who was willing to take her to such a big restaurant for dinner could satisfy a woman's vanity. Lan Ran even regretted teasing Lu Xiaoqian for being stingy earlier in the car. But with one sentence from Lu Xiaoqian, Lan Ran exploded in anger for the nth time that day and scolded him together with the female driver, saying "How shameless!"

  Lu Xiaoqian had already disappeared from the two people's line of sight.
